Grimaldi's truly captures the essence of New York-style brick oven pizza. The crust achieves that perfect balance – thin and crisp yet with a satisfying chew. The brick oven imparts a delightful smokiness to the pizza, enhancing the flavors of the quality ingredients. The classic Margherita is a standout, featuring fresh mozzarella and vibrant tomato sauce. The ambiance adds to the experience, making Grimaldi's a must-visit for pizza enthusiasts in Tampa.
TRUE NY STYLE PIZZA! I’ve been to the original location and I’ve also been to Juliana’s, their next door rival in Dumbo. This is the closest thing you’ll get to authentic NY/Brooklyn style pizza here in the Bay Area. Had my first bite in the car, right out of the box. It’s got the thin crispy crust topped with fresh mozz, and tasty high quality ingredients. Love the light char from the coal oven. It’s on the pricier side but it’s worth it for a date night or a once-in-a-while occasion. Will be back!
I first started going to Grimaldi's when they had their location down the street from me at Citrus Park mall. Sadly the location was closed some year's ago, but thankfully the Westshore location is still up and running.
My personal favorite is the traditional pie with extra spinach added and baked well done. Last night however was the first time I tried the peach flavored Italian soda, it was excellent! The salads are always great here as well 🍕🥗
Ask for Tyler because he's super professional and very knowledgeable.

If you like traditional Italian pizza this is your spot! We visited here to compare it to our hometown Chicago Style Pizza! It was different, but in the very best way. We went with the an '18 inch cheese pizza. We paired it with a Ceasar salad Rum punch and Sangria! Dessert was a trio of Tiramisu, oreo cheese cake, and chocolate canoli! Yum! Our waitress was delightful and the portion sizes were very large we had left overs for a few days!
I know this isn't Brooklyn, but good lord is this pie fantastic! I was a kid in the late 70's when we would travel to NYC and see my mom's family who lived in Brooklyn and Queens. I didn't know how good I had it! Got the Don. Incredible. Staff was friendly and I enjoyed talking food with them. Armando is solid behind the bar!
Overall what a nice spot to grab a bite to eat before you go to the airport. I was really impressed by the quality of the pizza and the customer service I encountered while I was at the establishment. I will have to go back and customize another pizza because my wife and I demolished a 16 inch pizza because it was so good. Will be back for seconds, thanks for a good experience.
It was a beautiful atmosphere. The calzones were enthralling to my taste buds in the atmosphere, was delightful and beautiful to a real Sicilian.
The best pizza place. Amazing pizzas and even better customer service! Worth it every time.
We messed up our own order believing the toppings would be different than what they were/came out as and they made us two more new pizzas no extra cost or problem, thank you!!
Pizza was delicious. Service was friendly with a smile, ambience was very nice. I usually don't give 5 stars. This place is very nice to eat at in every category for pizza.
I love pizza, I really do. I was born and raised on some of the best, albeit a different style than most are hip to. I've taken vacations based on pizza destinations like New Haven, CT. This was not expected from a chain let alone one in a mall in Florida. Casual but upscale dining room, pleasant staff and some nice drinks. We went for the large pepperoni, traditional. Excellent undercarriage, beautiful blisters from the coal fired oven, premium cheeses and a delicious san marzano sauce. I was not expecting how good this was, solid NY slices, no limping impersonation here. Shout out to our server Melissa for taking great care of us.
