GRIMALDI'S PIZZERIA – Restaurant

At Bell Tower Shops in Fort Myers, Grimaldi's works the way it has since the Brooklyn original: an anthracite-coal brick oven pushed toward 900 degrees, and a hand-tossed pie in and out in roughly four minutes. That speed is what gives the crust its blistered edge and keeps the fresh mozzarella from going to soup. The Margherita — secret-recipe sauce, mozzarella, basil — is the honest benchmark, though the toppings list runs long. Shoppers and moviegoers fill the room off US-41. The crust is why they book the table again.
