Lombardi's Pizza and Restaurant Reviews

Nice atmosphere, good service I guess that's what they sell because the pizza is few ingredients and burnt horrible.

Deliciously cashing in on history, the food is great, bring a pizza box full of cash with you.

Great pizza but long wait, very touristy and paper plates for pricey pies.

Amazing pizza and very friendly staff. Cash only. Thank you!!

Place of worship par excellence! Local average price I subscribe to authentic Italian. Fine dough and excellent products of good size. From a simple margarita to the excellent clam. For me the best calzone.

Mediocre pizza and overpriced. Sauce was bland and watered down. Breadsticks were stale and dry. Large, two topping (16 ) was $34. This place was not worth the 45 minute wait. Cash only. Bathrooms were clean.

Site for tourists. The food is not bad, but all plastic tablecloth and glasses, very expensive for what it is. I would not repeat

Not as good as in the past. Good, but not as good as it has been.

this was the best pizza place ever good seats a nice price and the pizza was amazing! i recommend going here but if you live were i live have a good 5 hour flight!

Great charcoal oven pizza. Will recommend to everyone...

Busy, busy, busy on a Tuesday night - can't imagine what it must be like at the weekend - but they fitted us in. Initially we were surprised by the prices - $20 per pizza - but we soon saw that a large pizza could easily serve 3 - 4 people. Green salad starter was excellent as was the pizza and the service - would happily go back if there weren't so many other places still to try

Very nice!!! We'd all go back!!! Took a family pic with Mr. Lombardi!!!

Lombardi's is one of the best pizzas in NYC. If you want amazing pizza, come get the orginal.

Overrated and overpriced !! It has become a tourist trap based on a long ago reputation. Ate there last year, disappointed. Gave it another try yesterday with a relative from California and apologized to her for how bad the margarita pie was, tasteless and cardboard like. Embarrassing.

Great Pizza, warm atmosphere. We didn't even have to wait in line.

Lombardi's is my favorite of the big New York style pizza places. The sauce has a bit of spice to it. Very big fan. Cash only.

Good taste, excellent service and we were treated very well

Margarita was average but nothing to write home about. The title of best pizza remains in New Haven, CT.

The food was ok, but very pricy. The service was good but the prices really didn't match the quality. There is only one toilet so usually you have to wait until it's your turn.

I came in thinking its just one of those overrated restaurants but I swear the pizza is just magical. No words. Would come to NYC just for it .

I love this pizza! Called on Friday and the price was $28.90 for 1 pizza. Is this right?

Honestly, I was so very hungry that it helped to have it eaten. I ve order a Margherita. The pizza barely as cheese and no basil leaves. The sauce is not even close to a good sauce and it had no tomatoes. Not coming back.

Very good attention. Located in the Italian neighborhood of NY. Very cozy and tasty Italian style pizzas.

Excellent pizza, sangria and service. The waiter was very helpful.

It is a nice place to visit. The food is good, but keep in mind they only accept cash.

Fantastic pizza can't mess with the original. Awesome pizzeria and great service

Delicious pizza at a reasonable price. Plenty of seatings. Bathroom available. No parking so it s a walk to place. Great vibe.

Delicious! Especially the meatballs. Pizza crusty is this and fresh. Brick oven is the best. Casual and comfy atmosphere. Simple menu with enough to choose from, but not so much to overwhelm you. Fast service. Clean bathroom. Only issue is that they use paper plates, so not so eco friendly.

America s First Pizzeria! We went here on a whim and expected a wait. We got none and had a great, friendly waiter!
The oven-fired crust is amazing! Totally worth the trip.

We found it listed in Frommers (listed but not recommended). After a long walk there we were surprised to learn they did not take credit cards. With little cash left, but two hungry kids, we had no alternative. Unfortunately, the pizza turned out to be one of the worst and overpriced I've ever eaten (and I've eaten a lot of pizza in many cities). It had very little cheese, flavorless sauce and burnt crust. Add to that plastic forks and glasses. Two days latter a local told us about "Little Italy" a small pizza place on the upper West Side (Broadway & 71st). It was fantastic and half the price we paid at Lombardi's. I wish someone had told us to not waste our time and money at Lombardi's.

Best Pizza in town. Lombardi's is the oldest pizza place in NYC and famous so your not just paying for the Pizza but it's totally worth it. If the restaurant wasn't so insanely loud it would have garnered a 5 from me. But With so many people in such a little space it has to be expected. Don't miss this place on your next trip to NYC and if you live here why haven't you been yet?

America s first proclaimed pizza!
Tried the mushroom / margarita pizzas for take away
Actually we re pretty good!
The staff quite nice seems like a family/friendly environment
Full of celebs photos attending Lombardis

lombardi;s pizza is good. the food is good and fit the right prize. but the only thing i don't like about the restaurant is the waiting. u must have all the party in order to come in the restaurant.

The place is simple unless. Pizza is no big deal and the cesars salad is inedible because it was spiced with pepper. I returned it and they charged me.

The oldest pizzeria in America!
You need to have cash cause they don t accept cards.. they do it the traditional way and so it their pizza! Scrumptious!

Lombardi's is very high quality pizza with only a few things that could use improvement. Three problems:
1)The cheese is a thin and sporadic, I get that this is the old Italian way of making pizza, but I suspect that limited cheese was to keep cost down, at 16.50 for a small pizza I don't thinking having a pie with plenty of cheese is too much to ask.
2)The sauce is good, but not great, it's sweet but not quite as complex in flavor as I normally enjoy.
Price - it is expensive. As I said 16.50 for a small pizza that realistically speaking 1 person can finish alone. I'd be more forgiving of this if the pizza was mind blowing as oppose to merely being very good.
However non of these things are deal breakers, it's still really tasty pizza and definitely worth getting. The service is really good also.
One note about the toppings, specifically the sweet Italian sausage, I'd recommend it, this is really good sausage and adds tremendously to the flavor, however the sausage is EXTREMELY salty make sure your prepared for that (ie if your going to be walking around the city all day choose another topping).

Pizza is ok, nothing special and overpriced. You pay for the location.

Used to live right around the corner. It's fantastic.

I do not know if one day it was something, but today they make a medium quality pizza (if we take into account an Italian standard that is what it intends and charges you for it) with only 2 options. If you are in the area and there is another free place, try it, if it is full, come to this one.

Pizza is delicious. Small (6 slice) is a snack for two. We got a margherita with pepperoni added. Very old style Italian vibe. They referenced this place in Netflix's The Punisher, season 2. Check it out!

I was quite excited to dine here with friends since they were raving a lot about the place. The place was simple and not that big, we had to wait in line a bit. We got clam and the basic pie. I was expecting the usual pizza taste but was really surprised on how good it was. The crust was perfect and the service also very good.

Good pizza that wouldn't be worth the wait. I'd try Angelo's instead.

The best thin pizza in Soho. hands down. no questions to be asked.

I'm really biased when it comes to Lombardi's. I've been a big fan of Lombardi's for nearly twenty-five years and the history of Lombardi's has always impressed me.

For the twenty-five years I've been getting pizza here, I've noticed the product going up and down and different times. When it's good...it's extremely good. Other times, it's not bad, but just not as good. Sometimes the pizza could be really soggy. Usually in that case, I take majority of it home and heat it in the toaster oven the following day.

We're not the type of people who order a pizza with every phreakin topping on it....not into that overkill type. We get along fine with just one topping such as pepperoni or sausage...sometimes sausage & mushroom. So considering that, our pizza shouldn't be so soggy, but there are times it happens.

Service here has always been good. Even though we've had slight issues with the pizza, I'm still giving this place five stars because overall, this place is great.

Great food. Fresh ingredients. Great pizza . Even the beer was ice cold on a hot day. Service is very good.

New York Style Authentic, cash only so be aware (ATM inside), service is fast, we had a bruschetta for appetizer, incredible an a large half white, half Margherita also incredible, you must try it

Nothing special really with their pizza really, i've had way better tasting pizzas somewhere else at a reasonable price. The ingredients for the toppings were great but i'm not happy with their crust particularly when it's already cold. I've read a lot of positive comments on their crust but my experience is the exact opposite...maybe we came on a bad day? But that's what we had experienced.

Needed more cheese and toppings. The oven bake was a savior....... busy so serving (drinks) was subpar. Cash only

It's worth a visit just for the feel of the place. Better than average, but not the best ever.

The waiter charged us more than the real bill by rounding up sales tax, and was rude to my elderly mother. The pizza we had was mostly good though.

Genuinely incredible pizza. Some of the best in the world.

The pizza is flavorful even without topping. Also the service is great.

Charcoal Baked Margherita is as amazingly good as it is simple
A fantastic and legendary place

Authentic original pizzas .Claims to be NYCs first pizza joint.Lives up to the expectation. Crowded most of the times and a small wait to get a place, but the wait is worth it.

Always great pizza. This is a must do on a tourist trip. Solid everyone I am here.

The pizza was awesome and the bathrooms were extremely clean

Friendly ... Excellent pizza ... Warm welcome by the owner ...

Best pizza in manhattan. First pizzeria in america. Always worth the trip.

Historical pizza place. Good for locals and Tourists

Left to be desired, poor service looked like they wanted to kick us out of the restaurant.
The Pizzas have little filling and are small, I do not recommend.

Thin crust pizza people your going to love it, don't forget a appetizer

I'm a big fan of pizza, and when I was walking by and saw their sign noting they were voted Best Pizza in the World, I figured I'd best try it out. Sure enough, it was darn good pizza. It's on the expensive side (though, to be fair, everything in New York City seems kind of expensive to me) but I thought it was worth trying out. I can't say I've ever had better New York-style pizza.

Great pizza place. Original and 1st pizzeria in NY.

Best. Pizza. Ever. Don't waste your time trying to find better pizza in NYC.

I do not believe this place is worth the wait. The pizza was good, not great. I can honestly say that the only way I would eat here again would be if I were able to walk right up and get a table. I am more inclined to try the other pizza establishments around the corner if I have to wait at all. I can cross this place of the to-do list and move forward. It was not all bad once we were seated. Try the wedge salad. A large portion to share between 2-4 people is a great start to a meal here. Overall, an above average experience and nothing more.
