Profile

Lombardi's was America's first full-fledged pizzeria—established in 1905 at a short walk down Spring Street from its current location—and most of New York's top pizzerias owe their existence to Gennaro Lombardi. John Sasso of John's, Patsy Lancieri of Patsy's, and Anthony Pero of Totonno's all learned the craft under Gennaro's tutelage. The place recently added a full bar and is consistently ranked in popular surveys as one of Manhattan's top pizzerias, but the main reason to go is the clam pie. It's made with freshly shucked top-necks from Connecticut, and the lack of any sauce or mozzarella cheese makes for a super-crisp crust. The clams, garlic, herbs, olive oil, and sprinkling of pecorino Romano are, taken together, reminiscent of very good linguini with white clam sauce—but with a foundation of coal-oven-crisp pizza crust instead of pasta. — Steven A. Shaw

My mother is from Naples, and I lived there for four years of my life so I know exactly what a Neapolitan pizza is supposed to taste like. Lombardi's is by far the closest to an authentic Neapolitan pizza I have had in New York. I have been to many other pizza places that claim to be authentic including Patsy's and Grimaldi's and Lombardi's is the best I have had so far. Plus, the prices are incredibly cheap, and the staff is very friendly.
