Whew, I only have 2 more New York City food posts including this one. Previously, you may have noticed the sliced pizza style. Here we have the gourmet pizza. This one is courtesy of Lombardi’s Pizza. On one side, we have italian sausage and pepperoni, and the on the other side we have margherita. As with all pizza, it’s all about the toppings, crust, and flavor. The crust is pretty good for what it is. It’s homemade and has that oven brick feeling to it. The dough is not too thick and not too thin. It also is a little crispy too. The italian sausage and pepperoni are my least favorite. Look how small those slices are. The meat themselves were average, but I think I would’ve enjoyed that side more had the toppings been more populated. On the other side, the margherita was delicious. You can definitely taste the tomato sauce. It tastes very genuine and homemade. It’s not salty, and the acidity of the tomatoes really shine in this. All in all, I like this side more than the other.
Final Verdict
Lombardi’s all in all is pretty good for what it is. For that pizza you see here, it costs about $20. It’s a must have if you have to have New York gourmet pizza pie. But if you are like me and prefer slice, then you might think much of this.
