Finding the greatest pasta and pizza restaurants in the USA has been a constant (and delectable) experience for someone who is constantly searching for amazing bargains without compromising quality. I’ve discovered some secret treasures over the years that provide amazing discounts on some of the greatest Italian food available—without breaking the bank.

Lombardi’s Pizza in New York City is one of my all-time favorite pizza restaurants. Lombardi’s, one of the oldest pizzerias in the United States, offers great and reasonably priced authentic coal-oven pizza. They serve huge portions of their delicious margherita pizza, which is surprisingly inexpensive for New York City, and has a delightfully crispy dough and fresh mozzarella. It’s the type of establishment where you can get a few slices and be fully content without breaking the bank. I make it a point to visit whenever I’m in the city since there’s something so satisfying about that smoky crust.
