Lombardi's Pizza and Restaurant Reviews

Very comfortable the place and very good service. Very tasty pizza.

Neat place. Pizza not that great. A little pricey for what you get.

Authentic American Italian New York pizza! What more can you ask for?

I expected more out of NYC's original pizza, but I have had better. The portions are big, but the price is even bigger. Like I said, its ok.

Great waiters, but awful pizza. We ordered a marguerita and it had fake mozarella and the dough was burned and stiff. I would avoid getting there ever!

Exorbitant prices for a poor service and poor quality of food.

Had to stop at this legend. Pricey and was a little disappointed in the pizza.

You know, Lombardi's is great for traditional style. But when we got our pizza it wasn't cut with care and honestly was dry and didn't taste as good as you would think from a legendary place. It's a one and done type of place. If you want a contempary and up and coming type of pizza, I'd rather something closer to Nick's Pizzabar.

Excellent pizza. I had to try a pie from the first pizzeria on the books. The crust is crispy and cooked to perfection, the sauce is robust with the right amount of sweetness and spice, and the mozzarella is lightly burned and savory. Amazing pizza and an amazing experience.

The wedge salad is enough for 4 people. The sausage, peppers and onions pizza was fabulous.

Great pizza crust ... you will get the taste and feel of an old brick oven ... the sauce lets the tomatoes and basil speak, not sweetened with sugar. The crust was great due to the extremely hot brick oven...
Cash only ... its fine for kids
Go to the back during winter you will be over the oven and enjoy a warm toasty room

Excellent service, charming atmosphere and the best pizza of my life!

The cheese and sauce were very "meh". I need more flavor than that!

Deception, from bad to worse. Nothing to do with the food that was served years ago

Traditional pizzeria in NYC. You can not stop knowing him.

Pizzas were good. Service was quick and seating was readily available on a Friday night.

If you wanna sit down and enjoy your pizza, Lombardi's is the best place to do it in Manhattan.

If you're looking for a classic thin and crispy New York style place, with top quality ingredients and cooked in a coal oven, this is the place.

Very tasty and delicious pizza, with a great ambience.

The size is standardized to a 12" pie, with 6 slices, which it's a good portion for two.

Beautiful place, the pizza is delicious but a little expensive and nothing special

We love ny pizza. Lombardi's lives up to it's reputation. Ordered the large margerita and Cake Boss special. Pizzas were so large we could have just ordered one. Order came out fast. Pizzas were excellent. Thin crust and sauce were just perfect. One caveat though...the only take cash. No credit or debit cards.

Unique taste! I've had a lot of different pizzas from different places and this is now one of my favorites! The crust is crunchy and flavorful, the toppings are delightful and not overpowering. It's a combination that let's you taste each part of the pie without compromising. Try a slice without folding it in half to enjoy each flavor and its subtleties or fold the slice for a instant punch of flavor goodness. Anyway you slice it, Lombardi's is a pizza place to remember.

Bottom line - too expensive! The $3 deal at "2 Bros Pizza" is only marginally behind this place as far as great pizza goes. Save yourself money, this place is nothing special! A small pizza with one specialty topping will run you $30! Crazy! Even for NYC!

Delicious old style simple thin crusted coal oven pizza in a historic place in Little Italy of NYC pretty much can sum up this place! But it has got awesome meatballs too! Grandma's Meatballs! Two big balls of meat.. extremely delicious! We had Original Margherita and Grandma's Meatballs. The pizza was good. It gives you a feeling of old rusty smoky pie. But dining in America's first pizzeria is a great thing in itself! Don't forget to click some photos with the signs!

Great History & Great looking establishment, pizza was average at best.

Large pizzas are really LARGE. Price is good, service OK (our waiter had to be reminded twice to bring water and cheese, he looked as he was spread out too thin). CASH ONLY. But they have ATMs.

Pizza was great. Service was average at best. Took a while for refills, the check and to get change. Its not big enough to justify the slow service.

maybe my expectation was too high? doesn't follow the fame

When I went two and a half years ago, it was a life pizza. What happened?

Pizza and service were great. Good sit down place for delicious pizza.

The worst pizza I've ever eaten in my entire life...

I believe this is the oldest pizza place in New York.

HIGHLY recommend! They have both white pizza and pizza with tomato sauce. Both are terrific. The crust isn't too thick and the pizzas are a great size.

If you visiting New York you must come to this pizza place is the oldest in the city (may be the oldest with license in the country) the original family still owns it.
Delicious thin crust very friendly service.

Really delicious pizzas. You can pick a pizza with two different toppings and one large pizza was more than enough for two people. Even we got there right at the rush hour the wait wasn't long and we were happy with the service.

Traveled all the way from Missouri with great reviews from family members who have visited before. We experienced fast service and great pizza. I know this will be a first stop to eat whenever we are in New York.

I won't even taste the dark radish. I've learned about the floors of Maru Gongri and the flower garden. Are you there? I like gunyang dry

Fantastic Pizza, be careful which size you order though, their large size is like the size of a parachute hehe. Great place.

A few of my friends suggested that this is one of the best pizza places in NYC. So me and my friends thought to check it out. And we were not disappointed at all! If you're a pizza lover, this place should be on your list!

Traveled from Portland Oregon to eat the best pizza ever....5 stars

Took my gf here for some pizza and suds and was not disappointed. Very fun atmosphere and the pies were great!

We showed up without a rsvp. Wait time wasn't long even with the little line up outside.
The host was friendly and welcoming. I loved how we walked through part of their kitchen to get to their second dining room. Waiters were pretty friendly, fast and professional. Quite a few choices to chose from.
We ordered 1 pizza and added a topping to onehalf. Tasty but a little pricey. I was not very impressed but I would give this place a second chance because the pizza crust was amazing!

Amazing pizza with great ambience. I can forgive the paper plates and having to withdraw cash.

Wow you want to Eat real Italian food with an AWESOME atmosphere Go there No iam not Kidding Run there you might have a wait but why do you think theres a line to get in Everything is so tasteful

The food is amazing if a bit pricey. Would recommend for a group!

Oh how I crave the white pizza!!! Great newyork pizza!!!

Great Pizza, the coal oven is notocable. The pizza is crisp. However the pizzas were very inadequatly cut, resulting in major frustration trying to tear the pizza in okay pices. Additionally it was somewhat burned, and not being able to pay with card is quite bad, especially considering the very high prices.

I went and unfortunately we could not sit down to eat because we were late ... but they still allowed us to order a pizza to go! ONE OF THE BEST PIZZAS in the World ... totally incomparable its flavor

I didn't get what was the fuzz about this apparently 'famous' and traditional food place. Bad pizza served in a cardboard plate, silly wine glasses and bad cheap wine, plastic cups for water. There are plenty of better places for pizza in NYC, like Eataly.

Awesome fresh apizza, but not as good as New Haven, CT!! Or Zuppardis in West Haven, CT which is the best ever.

Incredibly expensive ... 65 euros for a mediocre pepperoni pizza with cheese, a normal salad, a zero coke and a beer !!! Excessive the price for what it was, the only positive: the friendly waiters and the place is curious !!

We were suggested Lombardi's by several locals who told us it was one of the best pizza restaurants in New York. We came away very dissatisfied. Firstly, when we entered with big glaring sign that says cash only (give me a break). Next, although restaurant was not full, they seated us right next to the toilet, enough said.
Finally the pizza which we received in great anticipation, the dough was undercooked.

Oh and the service is poor!

I have no words to describe it....Quality, Taste, Visual....all was perfect. Thank you for that. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! This place has the best pizza in New York.

Thin crust pizza was ok. Not very many toppings put on the pizza considering you get charged by the topping. Breadsticks have no seasoning. They are pretty much chunks of pizza dough. Had much better luck with pizza by the slice from small pizza shops.

I recommend, the pizzas are good, the staff very pleasant (especially at the bar while waiting) and the neighborhood is very lively

Big crowds, long wait. Still, I'm glad we went. The food and drinks were excellent! You can get cheaper pizza, but this has that nice historic vibe. Pricey, but worth it if you haven't been.

Excellent food and very good service. The place is beautiful.

Good taste but Extremely overpriced. I know its NYC but I mean really $20 plus dollars for a plain pie.?.Shame

Great pizza place with a part of history! Everybody is very attentive and respectful! The pizza was large (we were told enough for 2) with 8 slices in total. There was also the option of a personal size.
Minutes later, pizza arrived. Looked good and smelled! The pizza was so delicious!

It was good but not enough for the price. Also take cash ....its cash only!!!

Oh my gosh I still dream of their pizza. Or rather, drool over in my sleep.

We loved eating here. We came with very hungry children and adults after walking around nyc in the cold. Our waiter was amazing, he took the time to take all our orders and the food came really quickly. The pasta here is amazing and we definitely finished all our food. Very friendly family atmosphere and kids are definitely welcome. We absolutely loved our waiter and he made the whole experience very worthwhile.
