Editorial Overview

About Lombardi's Pizza

Lombardi's is a pizzeria at 32 Spring Street on the corner of Mott Street in Manhattan's Nolita neighborhood. Opened in 1905, it has been recognized by the Pizza Hall of Fame as the first pizzeria in the United States, though later research shows other pizzerias predate it by more than a decade. Visitors come for the historic atmosphere and to enjoy classic coal-fired New York-style pizza. The restaurant offers a taste of early 20th-century culinary heritage and remains a popular spot for both tourists and locals seeking an iconic pizza experience in a storied setting.
