Grimaldi's Pizzeria

Okay the great Grimaldi’s. What am I gonna say? They’ve been in the game for a long time. They practically invented pizza. Is it worth a trip? I think it is. Are you gonna walk away saying “that’s the best pizza in the world” some might. But if you are a fussy fuck like me and the Architect then you would say “not so fucking fast” good solid brick oven pizza. Above average. But nowhere near the greats like Difara, Totonos, Luigi’s. That’s the gold standard for Brooklyn Pizza. But Grimaldi’s knows that, and they probably don’t give a fuck about that. They know who they are. Now here is my only real complaint. The sauce. Could they put a little more sauce on the thing? I know it’s like a big secret sauce type of deal. But stop being so stingy. Throw a little more on there. This all being said Grimaldi’s is really good brick oven pie. If ya love Brick Oven Pizza than head over there. But if ya thinking you are getting a top 10 pie, you’ll be walking away slightly disappointed.

The crisp crust and SAUCE is the best! Outstanding service!

Wow!!! Ricotta fresh, and amazing! Crispy, flavors delicious! I would travel for this for sure!

Solid pie. The cheese stands out on this one. The extra oregano seasoning is a great touch.

A delectable pie👌. Good crunch and the sauce smacks

Love this place. Can get busy on the weekends but their pizza is simply extraordinary. Wood fired oven makes it so crispy and the cheese they use is unconventional yet great. Second only to Lucalis in brooklyn

Obviously have to leave a little room for improvement, but hands down best pizza I’ve had to date. So fresh and crispy!

As good as I remember every time. Tried the hot honey and pepperoni special today and wasn’t disappointed at all. Cold day = short wait.

Light,crispy and the sauce 😮‍💨

Good pizza. On the heals of John’s of Bleecker and Angelo’s it doesn’t measure up. But still very solid!

Hard to believe this is the same place in the reviews :( too much sauce for the cheese on the Margherita side, not enough flavor on the Quattro side. All flop, but too much chew for a thin-and-floppy to be acceptable. Place was basically empty at lunch but still our pie wasn’t hot when it got to us.

A solid spot with a great atmosphere and easy to get to from Manhattan. A staple for me for NYC pizza.
