Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Lombardi's Pizza from around the web.
"Using his mom"s pizza recipt, Ralph Cuomo opened Ray"s in 1959 in Little Italy, which quickly became known as the place to buy the slice (and later, the place to buy a slice AND some heroin, but curiously enough Food Wars fails to mention this bit of..."
"It's the oldest pizza establishment in Manhattan and there's a reason why it's survived all these years. It's located in what's left of Little Italy - 32 Spring Street...."
"Lombardi`s calls itself the great-grandfather of American pizza. As America`s first pizzeria, and a restaurant that still serves some of New York City`s best, it have earned the title...."
"The dining room reeks of history at this reincarnation of the original Lombardi's, which is often credited with introducing pizza to New York City. The old-fashioned coal-oven pizza is terrific, with a light, thin, crisp and gloriously smoky crust topped..."
"Brick walls, red-and-white check tablecloths, and the aroma of thin-crust pies emerging from the coal oven set the mood for some of the best pizza in Manhattan. Lombardi's has served pizza since 1905 (though not in the same location), and business has not..."
"I let four sad years of crappy pizza eating in NYC go by before I finally found what I had been looking for. The sauce is robust with just the right amount of basil and garlic...."
"In 1905, Gennaro Lombardi opened the city's first pizzeria just down the street from its current location, and introduced one of New York's quintessential foods. The current location has the signature red-checked tablecloths and a coal-burning oven that t..."
"I’ve been meaning to try this place out, since everyone tells me its the best pizza around. I passby this place everytime I shop in SoHo and its always crowded, filled with people outside waiting for tables...."
"According to documented history, Lombardi's was the first American pizzeria. Pizza didn't gain its popularity until just after World War II, but Lombardi's, opened by Gennaro Lombardi, began selling pizza in New York City in 1905, so you might say Gennaro..."
"Usually I don’t like to try these much hyped places that doubly serve as tourist bus drop off points but here is one NY institution I just had to try out after all these years. We got there around 6:30PM and only had to wait about 25 mins for a tabl..."
"girl at Old Bridge Deli 373 Lexington Ave | At 41st St - 23 : So you only caught your eyes for a second at the cafe but I can't get that glance out of my head. Sure, I'm an attractive guy and catch glances all the time but wow, there was something great a..."
"Most visitors are desperate to get their hands around a supple slice but aren't eager to stray far from downtown. Tucked into a charming double storefront just a stone's throw from Ethnictown, Lombardi's is convenient, inexpensive, and friendly...."
"And our two pies--plain cheese and black olive--were quite good. We fear, however, that it wasn"t the deeply satisfying, historically significant (historically for pizza, historically for our personal pizza lives) experience we had hoped for...."
"As good as all the hype, this pizza is the BEST we've ever had. Be sure to get the garlic and go for the large, you'll wish you had more left if you get a small...."
"After all, we like hand-tossed thin crust pizza that is baked in a coal-fired oven...."
"Though the old cast-iron oven notes it was made in 1905, Lombardi's bakery dates to 1898. This is the place that invented American pizza, and the pies are still damn good—thin-crusted and brushed with tart tomato sauce...."
"Onto the pizza. This pizza is special cuz it's coal-oven pizza, few pizzerias do it this way. Maybe because coal kills. I dunno. But if it helps bake a killer 'Za then screw the people down wind! We ordered a small pie which is about 14". We got half mush..."
"Magnificent New York brick-oven pizza with fresh toppings makes this cramped, noisy pizza parlor with an overworked staff worth going to. Weather permitting, dining in the backyard garden improves the experience significantly...."
