I love the location and the feel of this pizzeria. It definitely feels more upscale than a normal pizza joint. Note to all parents, there is no kids menu, crayons or anything kid related here. We were kind of bummed about that.
My wife and I shared a large Caesar salad which was huge and we enjoyed it. Then for pizza we tried a large pizza with meatballs on one half of the pie. The size of the pizza was much smaller than we were anticipating. Grimaldi's and I clearly have different definitions of large. The pizza didn't look very appetizing when it was first brought to our table. Fortunately, we found out that it tastes a lot better than it looks. The pizza was great with a rich sauce and I loved the meatballs. The crust on the other hand was hard, flavorless and crunchy like a dog biscuit. I felt like a five year old with all of the crusts piled up on my plate. Ironically my three year old loved them.
Lastly we tried a sample three dessert platter with chocolate cheesecake, New York cheesecake and a cannoli. The cheesecake wasn't anything special, but my whole family enjoyed the cannoli.
The total bill was high for the amount of food that we received...especially when considering the "large"pizza. However we did thoroughly enjoy the pizza and cannoli so we will surely be returning to Grimaldi's in the near future.
