Lombardi's Pizza and Restaurant Reviews

Best pizza in NYC. Order the pepperoni and meatballs :)

I like good thin crust pizza and was not disappointed.

It's essential to visit Lombardi's if you're visiting NYC. It's the first place to serve pizza in the US! It's a great spot and a must see/eat.

Tourist trap! Expensive food thats barely okay. Plastic cups and styrofoam plates. Feels super cheap. Owner seems to love putting his face on every inches of the walls.

The pizza was mediocre and very expensive. I was not impressed at all. I ll stick with New Haven Apizza.

Excellent pizza. Had the meatball pepperoni pizza, very tasty and fresh.

Really enjoyed my stop here at Lombardi's. Pizza was thin crust and not greasy. Check out the oven if you have the chance.

Good service and the pizza is reliable if nothing else, but it s nowhere near the best in New York. In fact, it s pretty plain. I think this place is more of a destination for history s sake than quality.

Pizza was good, but leaving it in a hot box makes the crust soggy

Overrated!!! Pizza feels like it s old and they just warmed it before serving. Very expensive! Don t go there!

I liked Lombardi's. It's worth a visit, especially because it's the original pizza place in NYC. Had the "original" and it was good, but there are so many great pizza places around that it's probably a one-time visit for me.

Extremely overrated. You can get a better pizza at target for a fraction. Avoid.

Decent pizza. Historic restaurant. In a great neighborhood. Should be included in every NYC visit.

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that s amore

Nice service and atmosphere, but what do you really come here for the pizza right?The prizza is baked in a coal oven so the sauce and the cheese are excellent but the crust is thin and a little harder at the end, Overall it's a great place to eat , it's cozy n sweet!

Fresh and delicious 'za. A classic. Can get pretty busy. Tourist hot spot.

Pizzeria in little Italy, good located in a corner. The decoration inside is very good imitating an old Italian canteen. Pizza is good but nothing special. The menu has very few varieties common thing in NY. Normal prices. They only accept cash.
I didn't think it was bad but I would try another place for a change next time.

Nothing special as far as pizza goes. Little over priced. Leftovers tasted good in the morning more so than the first time.

Great pizza frindly staff
Good place to have good taste

Decent pizza. Good, not great. Fun atmosphere and good service.

Pizza good enough considering we are not in Italy, the pizza is very low and crunchy like a schiacciatina but there are two though, one: you can't spend $ 50 for a pizza, you got a pizza right; they bring you the pizza you have chosen and they put it in the middle of the table for them that is the dose there is no pizza for each person, not to mention that the dimensions are a little bigger than a normal pizza. Second, however, I take an Italian sprizt and some water comes with the red orange dye inside.

Prepare for a wait of about 30 minutes to eat one of the best pizzas I've tried.
About 20-25 dollars per head, + tips

A very small but picturesque place in the Little Italy area. We read that it is the oldest pizzeria in New York and decided to try it. The service was mediocre, but the pizzas, although very expensive, were actually very tasty. What bothers us the most is that the store only accepted cash !!! It is inconceivable not to accept tourist shop cards.

Excellent pizzas. Cutlery, plates and disposable glasses

Boring, nearly tasteless pizza. $4.50 for a small soda and no refill. How they stayed in business over a hundred years is a mystery to me

great pizza but you have to be patient. they take their time.

Lovely pizza, cash only. Opened until 00:00 but taking reservations only until 23:45

Lombardi's was an underwhelming experience. The pizzas were ok and waitstaff was much of the same. The pizza had a nice crispy crunch, but was burt to the extent that it sacrificed flavor. The toppings were also very dry. The pies were way overpriced, paying $25 and $35 respectively for a margarita and clam pie.

Also, they only take cash.

Find another pie place. There are many here.

It's not as tasty as its name, but it's just plain pizza, but it's too expensive.

This place is the first registered pizza business! Wicked. It's known for coal-fired thin crust pizza.

While it's good, there are many other establishments that are easily better, such as Joe's.

Over priced, food is nothing special and staff tends to be on the slower side.

Pizza is average. Super thin crust that the pizza falls apart. For the price you pay, I don't think its worth it. In my opinion, the restaurant is over hyped. Theres definitely better pizza out there.

Good pizza old school NY style. Bring cash no credit cards accepted.

Hella expensive and only takes cash - wasn't able to eat here since I only had $15 on hand. Still though ... first pizza place in NYC ...

Lombardi's was always considered the Best in New York. Things have changed, the sauce isn't a wow! what happened? The cheese, no stretch.
Crust was lacking flavor and burnt. So sad!

Pizza was delicious as well as the salad. Be warned it's CASH ONLY.

Decent food with good service. Locally owned = +1! Unfortunately cash only =-1.

The oldest pizzeria in NYC is still pretty good. You will probably wait a while for a table but it will be worth it.

Good pizza. A little on the expensive side (28 for a double pepperoni pie) but being able say I ate at the first pizzeria in the u.s. was worth it

Average, couldn't taste anchovies in cesar dressing. Pizza is good but quite expensive for what you get.

IM ALL ABOUT THE SLICE LIFE HERE BUT there was a small but tiny Portal that opened up and released an army of tiny al Capone s all over MA SLICE ,GOTAA SAY THIS IS TOPS ,DAWG

Well what else can you say...the original pizza place delivers the goods. The pizza here is fantastic. The sauce is a perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the mozzarella is excellent.

The pizza was great, but for 30$ is was very pricy. Combined with the plastic plate and the seating right next to the toilet and noisy kitchen, the overall experience was less than desirable.

I went here on my first day to visit NYC and it was definitely a good way to start my trip! I ordered a large margherita pizza and added pork and sausage, it tasted great! The restaurant was a little noisy but it was not distracting. The waiter was very attentive to our needs and I didn't have to call him over for anything. This place is apparently the first official pizzeria in NYC and with great tasting pizza and good service it is definitely worth a visit!

Pricey and very meh. Cool that it is such an establishment of NYC though!

One of the oldest pizza places in New York. Order ahead for take outs. There is usually a wait to dine in. Small Margarita pizza can run you about $22. Small is good for a single person. The pizza tastes very good and pure. It s simple yet full of flavor

Possibly the best pizza ever!! It's baked in a coal-fired oven that reaches 800 degrees F, meaning it comes to your table perfectly crisped (no limp, soggy crusts here!). Get there early: there can be a wait even during off hours (on a recent visit, we arived at 3:00 on a Saturday afternoon and had a half hour wait). It's not cheap, and they don't take credit cards so bring cash!

Great local place to meet and eat. Do not accept cards, bring cash.... inconvenient to find an ATM in advance.

Famous pizzeria in NYC. We went but the food was not what we expected. The service, however, was very good.

Overpriced tourist trap. Cash only. Pizza was good but not worth $36.00

I have attached a picture of their menu. The menu on Google is not accurate. Well let's see, 1 12"pizza + 1 beverage + taxes = $31(for 1 person). I understand that this is the first ever pizza restaurant in the USA, they have been here really long. But that doesn't mean you charge crazy price for a pizza. To be honest I have had better tasting pizza which does not cost this much. I also order Spritzer (soda) which was blood orange, and that tasted pretty good. But that pizza was hmm ok not so great.
BTW, this restaurant is Cash Only

Coal-oven pizza at its finest! Just be sure to have the time to sit down and eat - there are no over the counter slice orders here!

Wait was long. Pizza wasn't so great. Specially for vegetarians barely any options.

Hello, to be honest not really packed, some bland pizza no taste and for the price a little expensive.

Went here looking for that famed 'New York Pizza' experience and were disappointed. The pizza was fine but unremarkable. The seating was tight as people were jammed in, which made service difficult. On my next trip I will try somewhere else.

Great pizza to try once but wouldn't necessarily go back with the rest of fantastic pizza options around town
