I was impressed being I'm born in Brooklyn and been eating new york pizza all my life. The taste was great I order a half sausage and half meatballs. And one cheese pizza. I have to say it was very flavorful and cheesy. Even the crust was on point it was crispy. So for my first time here I have to give them all stars. The service was good and the environment was great. Will definitely be back to enjoy another sausage pie. Fyi a little pricey but well worth it.
The first American pizza restaurant!
Very typical place in NYC. The staff and the service is very good. Not big place so expect some waiting time. But it worth!
The tomato salad is delicious same as the pasta. You can only pay cash but no problem as that have an ATM in the restaurant.
Do not miss this place. A must in NYC!
Wonderful pizza. I mean, near perfection. And they’re very fast! The service was wonderful too. Very helpful and kind staff. They have their own soda’s, which aren’t terrible, but if you’re expecting coke, their cola falls very short.
This is also a cash-only establishment, so, bear that in mind before going. All-in-all I was so pleased with my experience here. Oh, and it may just have the cleanest bathroom in Manhattan!
Love the history, food, service, and atmosphere of this restaurant. The food was amazing. We had bread sticks, meatballs, and Margarita red pie x2, it all was amazing. We had a 30-minute wait for a table, which was definitely worth the wait. If you are visiting the city, I would definitely recommend this restaurant as a most try.
Great traditional pizza joint. The food was above average and all of the pizza ingredients were fresh.
I'm giving the service two stars only because it was lacking in many ways. I would ask for extra napkins and they would not bring it. We asked for sugar for the iced tea and they never brought it. We asked for extra plates for our pizza and they forgot to bring it. They were very busy but they still should have brought out those items for us.
We dined outside on the street. The chairs are hard and could be better.
There are better pizza places in manhattan.
Well worth the experience at the oldest pizzeria in the US. I ordered the meatball pie and was not 100% happy with the meatballs themselves, so I took them off and enjoyed a great pie! I took myself on a short Pizza tour and this was the 2nd of 3 places. The pie was really good and the fresh tasty toppings definitely blended well with the charred coal fired crust. Once I got to just crust though, the charcoal flavor was strong... but overall the whole pie experience was well worth it! Got to respect the trend setters!
Always great pizza! IMHO, the best pizza in the world! They have options, including a cauliflower crust pizza and a seafood pizza. You can also sit outdoors if you want to experience a full NY lifestyle. Love, love, love. Highly recommended. Caution: only one restroom, so there can be a wait. Still worth it.
Love the place. Oldest pizzeria in the US. The staff are very nice and friendly. The pizza are delicious and especially their meatball appetizers. I also like their italian vanilla soda
I loved the pizza so much. My daughter always begs to come here all the time! The pizza we always eat is the Double Pepperoni pizza. The dough is crisp and soft at the same time, and overall just gives you a flavourful sensation. I still cant get over the first time I tried this pizza😍
Very good new York style thin crust pizza. Definitely worth a stop... although I'd use public transportation, because parking near by is tough and can get expensive
Food: delicious and reasonably priced
Service: everyone was friendly and attentive
Atmosphere: iconic
Located in Little Italy NYC…
The first pizzeria in the United States….
Top rated pizza by various food critics…
Fast seating… even on a Friday night…
They have plenty of outdoor seating that is covered and it’s a cool vibe…
Plus indoor seating.
Pizza is on the table in less than 30 minutes!!
It’s a CASH only business …
But no worries bc they have an ATM located inside.
It’s a tourist attraction…
A must eat…
The pizza does live up to the hype.
The staff is amazing too.
Some of the best pizza we’ve ever had. Service was excellent and prices were reasonable. This is CASH only, so be prepared. There is a conveniently located ATM right inside the restaurant which was a big help.
The rustic double pepperoni pizza was delicious. I would definitely start off with grandmas meatballs. They also made one of the best Negronis. Cash only but there’s an ATM.
Got an eggplant and ricotta red pie (fried eggplant and ricotta cheese on top) along with pepperoni on the side. Skip the flavored tea- it isn't particularly good. Pizza was amazing. Crust was cooked excellently. Barely any charring on one of the edges. Only one bathroom for guests, so be careful. Cash only, but there is an ATM on site. If you are traveling with luggage, you will have to sit outside with the surrounding air outside.
This pizza place is ranked on of the top in NYC and I understand why. Everything felt so simple and casual and yet the food was amazing. We got the wedge salad and it honestly surpassed our expectations. Their dressing really enhanced the salad. We got 2 margarihta pizzas and added on roasted garlic. The sauce was on point – tasted fresh and was also well flavored. The crust was cooked to the right temperature. Cheese wasn’t excessive, just the right amount to compliment the pizza.
Service: People were fast and food came out quickly
Price: Considering how good the food is, the prices are very very reasonable.
Ambiance: A typical casual pizza spot, there is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.
Note: Like many pizza places – this is cash only.

America's oldest pizzeria!
In the early 1900s, Gennaro Lombardi immigrated to the United States. A baker by trade, he is credited with developing New York Style Neapolitan Pizza. Lombardi's operated as the first full-service, dine-in, pizzeria as the main business in the United States. Many famous pizzamakers learned their trade at Lombardi's, passing their knowledge to new generations of pizzaiolos. For more than 100 years, Lombardi's continues to be true to their founders' ideals of serving the
community with quality and old-world traditions.
Pizzas are cooked in a coal-fired oven, arriving quickly with just the right amount of char. The toppings were delicious and the cheeses melted to perfection. Our favorites were Grandma's Meatballs, the Pancetta, Ricotta, Spinach pizza (a white pie with ricotta, spinach, pancetta), and the Spring Salad (not on the menu, but still available). Service was quick and attentive without being intrusive.
Cash only!
Great pizza !!! Can't go wrong here, very good thin crust pizza with fresh ingredients and superb crust. Went there on Friday afternoon at 3 pm, and it was packed, but we only waited about 2 minutes to be seated. We shared a sausage, red onion, tomato, and basil pizza, which was perfect to share between 2 of us. So good! 👍
