This place is THE Grimaldi's of New York, the original pizza chef's place. The original pizza place of New York is Lombardi's, but the pizza chef was actually Grimaldi himself. When he realized his pizza was the best selling item in Lombardi's Grocery (NOT pizza joint), Grimaldi decided to go on his own and open a pizza place. The rest is history.
My friend from NY couldn't believe that GIlbert of all places had THE Grimaldi's! Their pizza is the best you can get in Gilbert hands down. The reason for 1 less star is due to their slow service during peak hours. The food's excellent and they have a descent wine menu as well.
The pizza's baked in their coal brick oven, hence the name. The crust is thin, crispy, and the dough is just the right amount of chewy. Good mozzarella and all the ingredients are high quality. If you like spicy, try sausage, pepperoni, and jalapeno on a pesto pizza. Heavenly!
If you like NY style pizza, I highly recommend this place!
