TransitGuy Posted March 5, 2008 #1 Posted March 5, 2008 Hello everyone. I actually need your help for a project that I am doing with some friends for school. Do any of you know the 10 oldest pizzerias (name and addresses) in Manhattan? Thanks a lot.
East New York Posted March 5, 2008 #2 Posted March 5, 2008 I know one of my favorites, and I think it may be the oldest is Lombardi's at 32 Spring St. Off Mott between Bowery & Lafayette
TransitGuy Posted March 5, 2008 Author #3 Posted March 5, 2008 Thanks ENY, so far I have found the following: Lombardi's Rays John's pizza Patsy's Pizzeria And I think: Totonnos although I'm not too sure. I just need a few more since I will be doing the project on Saturday possibly.
East New York Posted March 5, 2008 #4 Posted March 5, 2008 No problem, I did forget about Totonnos too. They are one of the originals.
NewJerseyT Posted March 5, 2008 #5 Posted March 5, 2008 Thanks ENY, so far I have found the following: Lombardi's Rays John's pizza Patsy's Pizzeria And I think: Totonnos although I'm not too sure. I just need a few more since I will be doing the project on Saturday possibly. Must specify which Ray's:p There's a sh** load of them that I know of in NYC:rolleyes:
TransitGuy Posted March 6, 2008 Author #6 Posted March 6, 2008 Yeah thats true, I'm probably going to this one in Little Italy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray%27s_Pizza We decided to lower the number to 5 pizzerias so it seems like we have our list. Man I'm gonna be full on Saturday. Thanks a lot everyone, very appreciated.
TransitGuy Posted March 21, 2008 Author #7 Posted March 21, 2008 Okay guys, this is a bit late but we finished the project and had a good time. So heres my critique (summarized): Lombardi's- 5 stars (the original is the best) Overall this place was amazing from the service to the environment. The pizza was excellent, a nice fresh taste compared to what I am use to. John's Pizzeria- 4 or 5 stars (really good) This pizzeria has a very nice and cozy environment.The pizza was crispy and quite flavorful. Patsy's- 4 stars (great and a nice environment) This actually wasn't a traditional pizzeria, its really a restaurant that use to be a pizzeria but evolved into a full restaurant. This seems like a nice place to go to without a doubt. The pizza was great. Totonno's (Manhattan) 3 stars Keep in mind Totonno's is a chain and we simply went to the one in Manhattan rather than going to the one in Coney Island (which I heard is one of the best). The pizza was decent was good but our service took a while. Ray's Pizzeria- 2 Stars Now I must clarify with this rating, we actually went to the wrong one which turned out to be a regular one. The reason for going to the wrong one was because one of my friends did not have enough money on his card for the train and we had to walk 30 blocks (it turned out we had the address for the wrong Ray's). Overall the trip was great but expensive. It was filling too
East New York Posted March 21, 2008 #8 Posted March 21, 2008 Yeah I love Lombardi's! The pizza has an authentic Italian taste. And ya'll could have given your friend $2 for the train! LOL!!
East New York Posted March 22, 2008 #10 Posted March 22, 2008 Mariella's Pizza in Manhattan gets in my book! Where is that located?
Harry Posted March 22, 2008 #11 Posted March 22, 2008 Where is that located? 16th Street & 3rd Avenue.
East New York Posted March 22, 2008 #12 Posted March 22, 2008 16th Street & 3rd Avenue. Thanks! I'm always up for a new pizza joint.
Harry Posted March 22, 2008 #13 Posted March 22, 2008 Thanks! I'm always up for a new pizza joint. Trust me you won't regret it.
TransitGuy Posted March 22, 2008 Author #14 Posted March 22, 2008 Yeah I love Lombardi's! The pizza has an authentic Italian taste. And ya'll could have given your friend $2 for the train! LOL!! Well funny story about that , well actually I completely forgot what happened lol. Mariella's Pizza in Manhattan gets in my book! Cool, I might have to drop by there one day. Oh I forgot add, despite being filled from all of the other pizzerias, shortly after the Ray's incident, my friend (same one who didn't have enough on the card) pointed to a place called Chipotle (and wanted us to stop the project ). If any of you like Mexican food, this is the place, they make the best burritos and right in front of you. It tastes and looks fresh. I highly recommend it, there are a bunch of locations in Manhattan and I believe one in Long Island by Hofstra university.
