I love Lombardi's Pizza and it is on my "must do" list every time we visit New York.  This is probably my favorite pizza because I love the crust which is thin and cooked in a coal oven.  On this visit we ordered a couple of pizzas but then saw plates of Meatballs going to the tables around us.  It looked so good so I ordered them for the table.  Grandma Grace's Meatballs ($11) made with Beef and Pork did not wow me but I liked the sauce.  They were a bit too dense and lacked a real beef flavor in my opinion.  Probably would not order these again.  I always go for the basic Margherita Pizza at Lombardi's ($21.50) for the small.  This to me is the perfect pizza with just the right amount of sauce, cheese and basil.  What puts this pizza over the top is the crust.  Perfectly cooked with slightly burnt bottom from the coal oven.  On this visit we also tried the Famous Clam Pie ($35).  Comes with a warning that you may find sand and shells in your pizza and we did.  This pizza is full of clams.  Just about all clams with no sauce.  I really think it needs some sauce as just eating all those clams gets a bit dry.  After one slice I was done with the Clam Pie.
