The best pizza on earth?

Living in Finland (Europe), is not the easiest things to do. In my work I visit NYC a couple of times a year and most of the time I spend in Jersey City. Still, there is nothing that can beat Lombardi�s Pizza,...

Best Pizza in NY--make that anywhere!

The spot is bustling, the pizza doughy and crispy in all of the right places. The drinks are ice cold and even the table wine is good. It's a cute, fun date spot that won't break your bank account. There is no...

Great pizza!

A bit too crowded with tourists -- so delivery or take-out is preferable -- but the pizza makes it all worthwhile. Great thin crust, fresh mozzarella, and fantastic pepperoni.

May be the best pizza that I have ever tasted.

My dad saw your restaurant on FoodTV and when I told him I was going to NYC, he said make sure to try Lombardi's Pizza so I got on the site and remembered that I too saw it on TV. I cannot rave enough about...

terrific experience! This is how pizza should be.

Wait wasn't too long and food was served very quickly. Loved their pepperoni pizza but meatball pizza was not as good. Thin but slightly chewy crust along with the perfect sauce and real mozzarella cheese made...

...A big pizza pie, it's amore!

Lombardi's is my favorite pizza place in NYC. Each time a friend visits, I insist we go and order my standard pepperoni pizza. The pepperonis are roughly the size of nipples (I had to say it) and curl...

Not worth the effort to get there

So sorry my son and I made the effort to go there to have this highly rated Littly Italy pizza! The crust was burnt, very little tomato sauce and blobs of cheese and burnt pepperoni.

I visted nyc the past summer from chicago and loved this place, excellent thin crust pizza (I know it is heretical to say this at home, but I like the thin stuf better) and great pepperoni.

Overrated pizza, nostalgic deco

Lombardi is a new york instituation, however, it certainly did not serve the best pizza in town, much less in the world, as the menu claimed (For the record, the best pizza I've had so far was in a diner close...

Nice decoration, pizza not up to hype

I was disappointed here. While the crust was OK (not great), the tomato sauce was very tasteless (taste like commercial sauce), and I needed a magnifying glass to find my toppings. Service was spotty. Nice...
