After watching countless shows on the Food Network and Travel Channel about the great pizza debate (NY vs Chicago... there's no question as to who beats out who btw!), we finally went to the place that claims to be the first pizzeria: Lombardi's. It was fantastic! The photos were taken with my somewhat crummy phone camera (of all the cameras I have, I used that one... my bad), but they should give you a good idea of the place. Enjoy!
A photo on the wall of the guy that owns it now (I believe it was his grandfather that started it?). We actually saw him in there at one point, but I kinda felt a bit odd about trying to get a photo.
This is real pizza my friends (well, maybe not as real as the stuff in Italy... but as close as you can get I'm sure). We got an original margherita style pizza with mushrooms on half. Honestly, it's perfect just plain without any toppings.
You can kind of see the brick oven in the back. Not sure if it was from the original place or not. Apparently the current place was opened in 1984.
