Lazzaro Bowls

Needed a quick bite to eat between the 9/11 memorial and Battery Park. Ran into this place that sold pizza by the slice so I decided to try it out. They used pretty fresh ingredients and the slices came out with a nice crisp crust. They only have outside seating which was fine that day due to the great weather. Staff was friendly enough and service was fast.

Tried their porchetta sammich for lunch and it blew mymind. It was tender and juicy with a little bit it fat on the edges. Their green sauce was perfect. I got the full sammich and am super stuffed. Their sammiches look fresh and delish. I cannot wait to try others. Highly recommend!!

Great spot to stop in to grab food on the go. It's located in the financial district and sidewalks are bustling with tourists and professionals. The hubs and I were going to the 9/11 memorial & museum and we wanted something quick and easy. Sometimes the best eateries are the ones with long lines or it's just overhyped. In this case the turnover rate of food, and packed shop just means it's fresh and fast.We both split up upon entry, so I was ordering pizza on one side of the eatery and the hubs ordered a porchetta sandwich on seeded ciabatta on the other side. The employees were quick on taking orders and placing slices in the oven to heat up. The pizzas ended up being lukewarm since the shop was packed and they needed to service the next customer. Prices are reasonable to NY standards. Sandwiches tend to be around $15 and up in this location. We both carried our food to the seating area across the street. Here you can people watch, see the abnormally mutant size NY pigeons that eat anything and enjoy your meal. The pizza was okay and just standard, it was the sandwich that was the star of the show. The toasted seeded ciabatta was pressed which showcased some grill marks. The chimichurri sauce dressed on the inside of the bread gave a taste of garlic, Chile, oregano, parley and oregano. It married wonderful with the fresh tender moist fall off the bone pork roast. We would order this again in a heart beat. Would come back again. :)

While sitting in Zuccotti park, I saw this place, decided to check the menu and when I saw a Porchetta sandwich, I stopped in. The meat is loaded on, very tasty and the salsa verde was bright with a bit of a kick however the disappointing part was that the skin was not crispy which would've provided a great crunch. I feel the $15 was worth it considering other prices in the area.

We were trying to find a place to eat for lunch and came upon this place. We had a couple of sandwiches and salads. Everything tasted so fresh! Fast and convenient service, the service was really great. We ate upstairs by the window and it was perfect. If you want something light and fresh, this is the spot to go to.

In the city for business and wanted to find a place that was quick, but not fast food - this place delivered. They have paninis that use schiacciata bread instead of focaccia - similar but thinner and less sponge like. They are pre-made waiting in the case and ready to be heated just for YOU . I got the Turkey and it was delicious. They also had a carrot pound cake which I just HAD to grab a slice of. It was dense and moist which I loved, but lacked a bit of flavor for my taste - I prefer a little cinnamon and nutmeg in mine. Overall a superb choice and a much better alternative to the Burger King next door, in my opinion. It's also reasonably priced as I was actually expecting to pay more. For a decent size half panini it was only $8... However the slice of carrot pound cake was $3.50.The verdict... I'd definitely go again.

While visiting NYC I came across Lazzaro and saw they had pitaya bowls. Immediately yes! Got the Pitaya bowl with banana, granola, honey and added PB. Was super excited to dive into it but once I did it was an immediate no. The Pitaya was chunky, not blended enough and also tasted like freezer burn but watered down all at the same time. The service was great and the atmosphere was cool. There's only one table downstairs. I didn't venture upstairs. Quite a few tables on the street. I tried eating at least half the bowl but just couldn't. A waste of $15 just for some PB and bananas. I guess I'm spoiled by real Pitaya and acai bowls from Hawaii.

I always come to get their smoothies. They have great ingredients and the hours are awesome. Staff is also very nice.

Staff is very nice and attentive! Everything is fresh and tastes delicious! I love the variety of fruits and vegetables.

Smoothies were amazing, fresh and tasteful!! The blended pineapple lemonade tasted just like dole! Service was amazing and helpful in choosing and giving recommendations
