LOCKBOURNE, OH – A beloved family-run establishment, Lombardi’s Pizza and Ice Cream, is set to close its doors for good on November 30, marking the end of an era for the Lockbourne community. The pizzeria, located at 6251 S. High St., has been a staple for locals for five decades, known for its “Olde World-style” pizza, hand-dipped ice cream, and specialty sandwiches.
In a heartfelt post on Facebook, the Lombardi family announced the decision to retire, expressing gratitude for the years of loyal customers. “It has been a pleasure to serve you over the last fifty years,” the post read. “I have built many fond relationships with both ice cream and pizza customers. I will miss you all.”
Over the years, Lombardi’s has become more than just a restaurant; it’s been a gathering place for generations of families. Customers took to social media to share their memories and express their sadness over the closure. One longtime patron wrote, “You all were a major part of my growing up! Every trip I made with my mom to Columbus, there was always a stop on the way home at Lombardi’s! The twist cone was always my favorite!” Another commented, “I love this place! I’m so happy for you and sad to lose another place full of lifelong memories! Thank you for the last 50 years!”
The closure of Lombardi’s marks the end of a cherished tradition for the Lockbourne community. As the retirement date draws near, customers are encouraged to visit one last time to enjoy their favorite pizzas and ice cream before the business closes its doors for good.
