Pizza Bar

Checked out Grimaldi’s Pizzeria tonight. Got a Cheese Pizza and a Double Pepperoni. The cheese pizza had mozzarella cheese on a very mildly sauce pizza. For me it was lacking in taste even with the added signature cheese and spice blend. The Double Pepperoni had plenty of thicker cut pepperoni, I think it needed some more cheese. Both pizzas had the crust cooked perfectly. Our server was Nate and he was on every need. Super cool guy.

Tried a large pizza, half prosciutto and half The Don, which was recommended by our server. Excellent suggestions. I loved the prosciutto and my friend was fond of the Don. The prosciutto was a white pizza typed with crisp prosciutto and fresh arugula. So tasty!!! Also ordered a small Caesar salad. I've had better. It was nothing to rave about. Beyond the salad and pizza the best part of the lunch was the dessert trio. The cannoli was nice and tart. My friend loved the tiramisu. We both enjoyed the light and delightful Caramel coconut cheesecake. According to our server, it is made in-house in small batches. It was light and airy with a great balance of sweet and salty. Exquisite lunch. Amazing service. Reasonably priced.

Some things shouldn't be messed with.... The Pizza and Calzones here are just freaking flat out, fresh from the oven, pizza pies of hot, wood fired deliciousness. Service is always great and the staff and management are always on the ball and friendly. Ok, so the first time I saw the price of my Calzone, I was in shock. But, and believe me, the pies are worth every single penny (and probably a little bit more, but don't tell them that). Absolutely nothing beats the experience when paired with a tasty cold beer (they have some nice wines too), and some close friends... heck I'm sure it would even be great with one of those barely tolerable friends.

Food/Taste/Flavor: 3/5 - we got the 16-inch Brooklyn Bridge pizza to split between two people with a glass of Michael David "freak show" Zinfandel to share. The ingredients on the pizza was delicious and we really enjoyed the ricotta cheese. Not sure if New York pizza tends to be this way but the pizza didn't seem to be baked all the way through. The edge and the bottom of the pizza was crispy but the dough wasn't cooked on top underneath the toppings. We struggled cutting with the knife so we gave up and used our hands after the first slice Ambience: 5/5 - cozy restaurant that feels upscale. Softer music so we can chat with no issues Service: 5/5 - Oskar, our server, was wonderful and attentive. Gave us some recommendations between the different pies we were eyeing Value for price: 4/5 - a bit pricey for the thin pizza and wine but good experience

Cool that it is a coal-fired brick oven. They don't have some traditional items. You can't get a Canadian Bacon and Pineapple for instance. There are no breadsticks. No garlic white sauce. The crust of the pizza is paper thin. It would have been nice to have a thicker crust available. We got a garden pizza as one of them and it was left mostly uneaten. The flavors were just not very complimentary. Would look elsewhere next time.
