Not to be confused with “Lombardi’s” (trademarked as America’s First Pizzeria®) from NYC, Lombardo’s Pizzeria will be opening in the University Park neighborhood, offering up New Jersey-style pizzas and other Italian-American cuisine.

As far as I know—and please, correct me if I am wrong—NJ-style pizza is not really represented in Portland. We’ve got NYC street slices and whole pies; New Haven, Chicago deep dish, and Detroit styles—and even a Portland/PNW-style; neo-Neapolitan, Sicilian, Grandma, vegan pizza, gluten-free pizza. But I have not seen New Jersey-style pizza.
