Lombardi’s, Little Italy, NYC
Category: Coal-Fired, margherita, New York
If you are a pizza lover Lombardi’s has to be on your bucket list! I would even say it’s one of the best coal fired pizza joints in NYC. Yes, I said it!

Carminuccio’s in Newtown
Category: Gas Oven
I can see why Newtown locals frequent Carminuccio’s. Is it for the specialty pies or the killer grinders? Both actually!
