Fodor's Review:

Brick walls, red-and-white checkered tablecloths, and the aroma of thin-crust pies emerging from the coal oven set the mood for some of the best pizza in Manhattan. Lombardi's has served pizza since 1905 (though not in the same location), and business has not died down a bit. The mozzarella is always fresh, resulting in an almost greaseless slice, and the toppings, such as meatballs, pancetta, or imported anchovies, are also top quality. Lombardi's is perhaps best known for its toothsome clam pizza, which features freshly shucked clams, garlic oil, pecorino-Romano cheese, and parsley.

My boyfriend said it was the best pizza he had ever had (but I've been to Italy so I could not claim the same). Still, it was really good, and a fun experience. Worth the wait. Cross the street to Rice to Riches for dessert.
