\"\"<\/a> You cannot go to New York and not have pizza. It would be a trajedy. And what would you tell your friends when they asked about eating NY style pizza?<\/p>\n

“Uh, I didn’t get any.”<\/p>\n

Exactly. You gotta get some.<\/p>\n

I sort of put my foot down about getting some pizza. \u00a0And I maybe suggested it the entire time I was there.<\/p>\n

But I can’t remember the minor details.<\/p>\n

We ended up getting pizza for lunch on Sunday and it couldn’t have come at a better time. \u00a0We were fresh out of our conference, hungry, and looking for some action. \u00a0We found it all.<\/p>\n

Lombardi’s boasts itself as the first pizzeria in America. \u00a0Is this true? \u00a0I have no idea, but that is quite the claim!<\/p>\n

Six of us were eating pizza that day and we decided to split two pies between us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>First up was Lombardi’s white pizza with an array of cheeses. \u00a0We added mushrooms (I picked my share off though) and sauteed spinach.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Along with a classic Margarita pizza.<\/p>\n

Both pizzas are cooked in a wood-fired brick oven, which lucky for me, is my favorite cooking method. \u00a0I was happy to finally see some triangle slices because no matter how long I live here, I cannot get used to Ohio’s crazy pizza style.<\/a><\/p>\n

The crust seemed like it was hand tossed. \u00a0It was super chewy which I liked a great deal. \u00a0And it was the perfect thickness. \u00a0Not too thin and not too heavy.<\/p>\n

Of the two, my favorite was the white pizza. \u00a0It had better flavor and had a little bit more umph than the margarita style. \u00a0I didn’t quite care for the sauce on the margarita pizza, it was a little too sweet and not garlicky enough for this Polish girl. \u00a0That said, both pizzas were a great introduction to NY style pies. \u00a0And if you like sweeter tomato sauce, then this is the pizza for you!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It just happened to be San Gennaro<\/a> the weekend we were in town. Lots of people out and about checking out all the booths and Little Italy. \u00a0It was interesting to see and the smells were fantastic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Some of the ladies got gelato and other sweet treats. I was still very full from lunch so I hung back and took pictures of everything as best as I could.<\/p>\n
