Since 1905, Lombardi has been credited with developing New York style pizza and being the first pizzeria in the United States. This has been challenged by many NYC locals especially pizza aficionados. Having been here back in 2012, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing the evolution of this pizzeria. I’ve been here several times, and it’s always easier to walk in early dinner times vs prime time. You’ll be seated fast and food will come right away especially now there are so many other competing pizza places nearby.

Summary

I’ve been here numerous times to both the East Village and Manhattan locations, and they have consistently delivered pretty well within expectations.

The fried chicken sandwich is delectable. It was really good and pretty spicy with the right kick.

The Le Big Matt is like pretty big too. The cheese is super melty which makes it a little messy but pretty delicious.

The Roni Supreme is by far my favorite. It’s exactly what the description says. Be warned, it’s a little on the salty side.

The full name of this restaurant is “Lions and Tigers and Squares Detroit Pizza”. Obviously did not want that in the title of the post. Got the pepperoni and yellow peppers, and it was pretty good. Not too expensive… ~$12-14

Fast food version of Marta’s. It’s good. I like the salami and hot peppers, and it’s fairly inexpensive.

There are actually a lot of locations for this. I think Vinnie’s way better in the north Williamsburg area.

Pizza is pretty good and cheap. Their beer list is pretty good.

My cousin Vinnie’s place is the best. Love the cali burger.
