OK, I am not here to trash Lombardi's really, other than the little girl that barks out your name when your table is ready, the sound of her voice is unforgettable and will make you lose your appetite, QUICK!. I think I would prefer to have a rusty screw driver twisted into my ear canal than hear THAT again. OK, here goes, like I said- NOT here to necessarily trash them, I am here to let you people of NYC (and especially of Brooklyn) and anyone nearby that if Lombardi's (or Totonno's or Grimaldi's) is your favorite pizza, and if you genuinely like it, you haven't had... ""Pizza"" at it's best. My dear people, you are eating junk, and paying through the nose. More than likely you are a Travel Channel fan (like 2 of the ONLY 2 people i was within ear shot of yesterday). You are outside taking pictures under a sign, maybe telling your friends that ""You went to the 1st pizza place in America..."" yada, yada, yada. OK, are you listening? (I hope that arrogant door man at Grimaldi's is listening as well), FORGET the TV shows! Forget what you hear from Adam Richman, or the Andrew boys on TC, do you want good pizza? or do you want to take pictures? I have had pizza from New York to Florida to California, and there is no place...are you listening?... NO place like the New Haven area of Connecticut to get pizza. Hands down, no contest, not even in the same league. If you want the best pizza you ever had, head to the Little Italy section of New Haven, CT (Specifically Pepe's on Wooster Street) and you don't need to go anywhere else. I have about 5 places within 20 minutes of my house that I can honestly say are the best places I have ever had pizza... ""Sally's Pizza"", ""Modern Pizza"", Zuppardi's, etc, etc. ALL of them are Kings. And when I say Lombardi's is forgettable, I mean Costco has better pizza. If ketchup on pita bread is your bag, by all means, enjoy. By the way- yes, i do NOT enjoy fresh mozzarella. Yesterday, half the slices on my Lombardi's pie had absolutely NO cheese on them. HOW do they DO that and not get their money thrown in your face?. but if you really want to be in Pizza Heaven, Pepe's is it. Period. When I left Lombardi's (after seeing that dudes photo 36 times just in the main entrance) I was actually pissed off. The more I walked down the street, the more pissed i got. I wasted my time, my appetite and my money. Yes, I was pissed. I could have sat down at Giovanna's on Mulberry and had a nice dinner. This is a public service announcement, like I said, take pictures and buy T-shirts? or have some great Pizza....The choice is yours.
