Lombardi’s
New York City, NY
Almost a year spent documenting where and what I eat and I don’t believe I’ve done a “pizza” entry yet.. What better time than now right? And since I’m going to do it, I might as well do it big.. I decided to visit America’s First Pizzeria! Not only is it one of the first but it’s also suppose to be “One of the Best Pizza Joints in the World” or at least New York City, right?! I had to give it a try.. and these are my findings. lol
Outside of Lombardi’s
Inside of Lombardi’s!
Pizza with Italian Meatballs and Wild Mushrooms
Pizza with Pancetta and Pepperoni
Pizza with Spinach and Sweet Sausage
All three pizzas..I’ve got to say.. it does live up to the hype! The pizzas are soft yet crunchy..the sauce is savory yet sweet and the toppings are just plain delicious. We ordered an Italian Meatballs and Wild Mushrooms.. the meatballs were great and I love mushrooms. (you should have put it on every pizza!). The second was Pancetta and Pepperoni...also very good. The pancetta adds another depth! The last was the Spinach with Sweet Sausage.. I should have just put all 6 toppings on 1 pizza and call it a day! It was all very tasty and the coal burning ovens definitely add to the greatness of these pizzas.
The service was fine and the place was nice. Go for the pizzas and you won’t be let down! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

my god…where there is food porn there is scruffy…
I wasn’t too impressed with Lombardi’s.
Have you tried John’s? I think it is much better.
Lombardi’s was the first brick oven in NYC and John’s was second.
People flock Lombardi’s for its history but people flock John’s because of the pizza.
blech, I don’t think it lives up to the hype. I prefer Grimaldi’s.
NYC has the best pizza in the world!
Looks delicious!
