| - After getting over the sticker shock (and I wasn't paying), I sipped on water and chatted with my cousin for what seemed like an hour.
He wisely ordered a salad, which held us over as the sun set, the seasons changed and my nephew made his way through elementary school.
The Caesar salad had the perfect amount of dressing, quality lettuce and fresh-ground pepper. A small order was enough appetizer for two guys.
The pizza finally arrived, and it was fantastic. We ordered a large white pizza with pepperoni, sun dried tomatoes, onions and sausage. The toppings were perfect, and the crust was divine. Grimaldi's only uses fresh ingredients, and it makes a world of flavor difference.
One factor that annoyed me but pleased my cousin was the constant interruptions by the waitstaff.
"More water?"
"Everything OK?"
"Anything else?"
"How's that pizza working out for you?"
How's the pizza working out for me? The hell?
If you see my water empty, fill it. If I'm not complaining, everything's fine. You can ask me once about that. Don't cut off my dinner conversation with a repetitive interview.
My advice: Call ahead and order your delicious pizza. You can skip the wait, avoid the waitstaff and save some bucks on tip.
