Lombardi's

Lombardi's was awesome, which seeing as it's known as the birth place of New York pizza, it should be. Per it's website:

"In 1897 an Italian immigrant reinvented a Napoletana staple food into one of the worlds most eaten foods. New York City was the birth place of New York style pizza. During the year of 1905, Lombardi's was licensed by the City of New York, becoming America's First Pizzeria."

Turns out it's not all hype. The line for a table was around the block. So, I called in for a pick-up order and walked to the park on the same block and ate there. The cheese and sauce used were incredible. If fresh ingredients were a crime, this place would be serving multiple lifetimes. If you're a fan of pizza, definitely check it out :)
