You can taste the history in every bite! The clam pizza is a unique and delicious classic. The coal-oven gives the crust an unforgettable flavor and texture.

Lombardi’s Pizza in Nolita delivers that classic New York slice experience with a cozy, old-school charm. The coal-fired crust has a perfect char, the sauce is tangy and balanced, and the mozzarella ties everything together beautifully. Fun fact: Lombardi’s is widely recognized as America’s first licensed pizzeria, opening its doors in 1905.

I recently stopped by Lombardi’s Pizza in Little Italy, and it’s easy to see why it’s such a legendary spot. The pizzas come out with that classic coal-oven flavor—bold, smoky, and instantly satisfying. While I personally prefer the thinner crust at Grimaldi’s in Brooklyn, Lombardi’s still delivers a really enjoyable experience in its own style.
Their offerings are genuinely impressive, and Buddy’s Choice (yes, the Cake Boss himself) stood out the most. It’s rich, flavorful, and feels like a signature slice made with confidence.
Overall, Lombardi’s has its own charm. If you’re in Little Italy and want a classic NYC pizza moment, it’s absolutely worth the stop—even if, like me, you lean toward that paper-thin Brooklyn crust.

New York is known for its pizza; this is not that kind of pizza. Service was attentive and appreciated. An old world charm and tightness.

Cesar salad was mostly romaine lettuce. Dressing lacked flavor. Overly large and expensive.
Pizza was underwhelming. The red sauce was bland. Not a fan of the well done charred cook. Expensive for the size.
No refills on soda.
One check per table. Cash only is annoying in this increasingly cash free society. They probably make $3-4 a transaction on the on site ATM.
This place screams tourist trap. 👎🏼

Lombardi’s on Spring and Mott — the coal-oven original that’s been here since 1905. It’s said to be the first pizzeria in America, and whether that’s myth or fact doesn’t really matter. What matters is the crust — smoky, blistered, perfect — and the tomato sauce that doesn’t try too hard. The room feels like old New York: simple, warm, a little worn in the best way. And don’t skip the salad with mushrooms — fresh, earthy, and unexpectedly good. Order a classic pie and you’ll understand why it’s lasted more than a century

Great fresh pizza! Well worth the visit and would recommend anyone visiting NY stop by and enjoy an iconic NY spot.
Good place to grab a pizza. They sell by the whole pizza and not by the slice. One of the oldest pizza places in Manhattan and has an authentic Italian vibe. They DON'T TAKE CARDS. Cash only, but there's an ATM on site.

For anyone who thinks this is the Lombardis of the past think again. This is a pale imitation of what Lombardis used to be. The pizza is small, overpriced and nothing like it used to be. The owners have clearly sold out. As someone who has been here countless times I will never eat here again. There are now way better options for real pizza in NYC. Shame on you Lombardis. Avoid.
