I consider myself a bit of a pizza snob. I've had a lot of pizza over the years and have become very biased. When I first visited Grimaldi's I read the reviews here on Yelp and I'm like yeah, right, whatever. This review covers 3 visits. And all 3 experiences were consistent in being excellent each time. Service is impeccable. The decor is nice. But who cares about that. They have a coal fired oven, and they dang sure know how to use it. Each pizza I've had came out with these little faint, whispery smoke trails on the crust from that oven, and that crust was so good I didn't leave any of it behind. Not once. The toppings are fresh, flavorful, and good. When the pizzas came out they looked like works of art, literally the visual appeal and then the aroma delights the senses. But a couple of bites in and you will understand...
Pricey? You bet. Worth it? In my opinion absolutely yes. Will I go back? Without a doubt. Is it the best pizza in Las Vegas? Settebello gives them competition, and I've got more exploring to do but so far from what I've found Grimaldi's is going to be hard to beat. It's worth the time to seek this place out. Don't let the upscale strip mall location scare off you out of towners.this is worthy of taking a cab ride off the strip to check out. 5 Stars...Earned and given without any hesitation.
