I am extremely indecisive. Extremely when it comes to choosing a place to eat. So I left it up to my guy. He chose this place over Sushi. I wasn't in the mood for sushi so I played along. When I sat down and opened up the menu, it was extremely simple. I was shocked and almost got up and left. Why? Because I was craving more variety. My server came, she is from San Diego originally. She asked what we wanted to drink and I didn't want to waste her time. So I told her we may not eat here. I am still thinking. She gasped. Lol and said, "Have you ever ate here before or had a Grimaldi's pizza?" I was thinking... here we go, someone defending their place of work. What came out of her mouth I did not expect. She went to explain to me the dough is handmade and fresh daily. (Ok not impressive I thought) Then she went on to explain the importance of this place. She passionately told the story of how Grimaldi's hired a chemist to create a water system that makes exactly "New York" water. It's a $50,000 water system. She then went to explain the simplicity of the menu. It's authentic Italian pizzeria. She said they are so authentic down to their choices. She gave me her top three choices of salad. She sold me on her passion and knowledge of this place. I still didn't care for the simplicity of the menu... until I tasted my Mediterranean salad. YUM! It was simple. Full of flavor. I ordered the Garden pizza with sausage and pepperoni. (I love veggies) It was good. Our server asked us later how things tasted and I told her the truth about my pizza and I felt it was a little watery from the tomatoes. She didn't hesitate to say, "Can I have them remake the pizza for you?" I definitely declined because it was delicious just a little watery. But I knew why. Either way it was good. And there was no way I could have this remade. I was satisfied! I told her I would be doing desert. But gotten full and changed my mind. Due to my first time being there and my pizza not 100% (but 95%) to my liking... they comped me a cheesecake. TALK ABOUT INITIATIVE. Vince was the manager and he came out to greet us. I felt extremely special and I would like to thank the staff whom served us at Grimaldi's. As I will go back. What a warm wonderful place to bask in. All love tonight to a wonderful group of souls.
