Lombardi's, founded in 1905, in Little Italy, Manhattan was the first pizzeria in the United States. [cite news | first=Eric | last=Asimov | url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D03E6D8153AF933A25755C0A96E958260&sec=travel&pagewanted=all

Gennaro Lombardi opened a grocery store at 53 Spring Street in 1897. In 1905 his employee Antonio Totonno Pero began selling tomato pies wrapped in paper and tied with a string. The original way of making a "New York pizza" in a coal oven is still used today at the restaurant. Lombardi's is one of the few pizzerias in New York City that does not sell slices, as pizza slices are not traditional, only whole pies are.

In 1924, Totonno left Lombardi's to open his own pizzeria on Coney Island called Totonno's.

In 1984 the original Lombardi's closed. In 1994 another Lombardi's restaurant opened a block away at 32 Spring Street.

In 2005, Lombardi's sold pizza pies for 5 cents, which was the original price in 1905, to celebrate the 100th anniversary.
