What diners are saying
Celebrated for its authentic coal-fired pizza, Grimaldi's consistently impresses diners with perfectly crunchy, chewy crusts and generous toppings. Guests rave about the classic Margherita and mozzarella cakes, though some note that the pies are best enjoyed dine-in to avoid "takeout taste." While service experiences vary from welcoming and efficient to occasionally inattentive, the old-school brick oven atmosphere and delicious food keep customers coming back.
