Gennaro Lombardi's grandson reopens the pizzeria at the corner of Spring and Mott
Lombardi's closed in 1984 after an economic downturn, leaving a ten-year gap. In 1994 Gennaro Lombardi III, grandson of Gennaro Lombardi, and his childhood friend John Brescio reopened it at the corner of Spring and Mott Streets. They could not reuse the original space because of the heat and subway vibrations under that building. Brescio carried the doors of the old pizza oven to the new one.
