Lombardi’s: Apparently someone at Zagat [...]]]>

My trip to New York City last week was an interesting one.  With so many restaurants to choose from it seem like everyone is looking for an edge over the competition and you can’t blame them… especially in tough times.  Here are two examples:

Lombardi’s: Apparently someone at Zagat has tried ALL the pizza on the planet.

Ben’s Pizza: I’ve never even heard of Ben’s!

Note: I haven’t tried either (although I have read some great reviews on Lombardi’s)… could it be true??

Note2: Dear Ben,  I’m hoping Ben stands for Benito or Benedetto because we all know the person who makes “The most Famous Pizza in the World” is Italian.

Note3: In my opinion, the places that actually make great pizza shouldn’t have to put it on their sign…

Note4: I had a great pizza in Panzano in Chianti at a place called “Conca d’Oro” and (according to them) they took 3rd place at  the World Pizza Competition… I should have asked them if they knew Ben.
