LOMBARDI
PIZZA CO.
1958
Washington Valley Road
Martinsville
By: Joanne Kleinle
Peter Lombardi & Steven Goldblatt
There might be a few options
for pizza in Martinsville, but there
is no place like
Lombardi Pizza
Co. Lombardi Pizza Co.,
Martinsville’s latest eatery, is
located at 1958 Washington
Valley Road.
LPC
is all about the
pizza. You don’t just pop in there
for a quick slice. If you go to
Lombardi Pizza Co.
be prepared
to enjoy pizza like it is in Italy – a
pie that is a little slice of heaven!
Peter Lombardi grew up appre-
ciating good food. He spent years
enjoying the food made by his
mom and aunts in the Italian tra-
dition with the freshest ingredi-
ents. On a trip to Italy, the pizza
that he tasted was like nothing he
had ever had before. So much
attention was paid to the dough,
the ingredients put into the sauce
and the toppings. It was not a fast
food, but a fresh, delicious meal
combining healthy ingredients to
create amazing flavors. He decid-
ed to study with a master chef in
Italy to learn how to create this
kind of pizza and bring it home to
New Jersey.
Once he completed his training
in Italy, he worked at an upscale
pizzeria in Hopewell to learn the
business. Eventually he teamed
up with his business partner
Steven Goldblatt and opened his
own gourmet food truck to intro-
duce his pizza to Americans. He
catered private parties and events
and had the opportunity to exper-
iment with his pizzas and get
feedback. His business was so
popular that he knew it was time
to open a restaurant – and
Lombardi’s Pizza Co.
was born!
Lombardi Pizza Co.
is certain-
ly not your run of the mill New
Jersey pizza parlor. It is not your
average Italian restaurant. It is all
about the pizza – that is the only
entrée on the menu except for
some salads. But what pizza!!
Peter takes special care with his
pizza dough, making it in small
batches so the restaurant is only
open for dinner. The ingredients
are fresh and the toppings will
vary based on what is available
and freshest seasonally.
Peter and Steve are young and
their youthful, energetic vibe is
evident in the décor.
Lombardi
Pizza Co.
is like someplace that
you would find in Hoboken or
Brooklyn with exposed wood
beams, contemporary fans, and
rustic wooden tables of all sizes,
some with long wooden benches.
The fun, stylish atmosphere has a
casual elegance that attracts all
kinds of clientele. It can be a per-
fect go-to place for a family night
out or a cozy place for a casual
fun date night.
Bring your favorite bottle of
wine and come by
Lombardi
Pizza Co.
in Martinsville to expe-
rience Neapolitan pizza the way
that they do in Italy. You will not
be disappointed. They are open
Tuesdays through Thursdays
5
pm-9pm, 5pm until 10pm on
Fridays and Saturdays, and 4pm
until 9pm on Sundays. They are
closed Mondays. Call 732-667-

Buon appetito!!
