came here for my mother's birthday pizza dinner. we came on a weeknight (tuesday) and learned they had half price glasses of wine (not including sangria or the house wines.) I have been to the original brooklyn shop and was a little iffy of the pizza here. we had to try it though and so glad we did. rachel was our server and was friendly and helpful. we started off with some sangria for 6 dollars a glass. I had the red, which was a little strong, just the way i like, while my mom had the white, which was really sweet, just how she likes. we ordered the large white garlic pizza with half chicken and half meatball. now beware they do charge you the same prices of toppings even if you order half. (toppings are where they catch you with price.) it can get expensive. the pizza was 18 dollars while the grilled chicken was 5 dollars and the meatballs coming in at 2 dollars. that is 25 dollars total for a large pizza if you can't do math.
after we took our first folded pizza bites we knew we had a winner though. my favorite was the meatball side while my mom loved the grilled chicken. thin crust perfect for folding and a tasty white garlic pizza that wasn't too overwhelming on the garlic flavor. i could taste everything and everything was amazing. very well done grimaldi's. we finished 2 slices each and had another 4 to take home for leftovers. (which i should add were finished off by the time we went to bed. so good!) we saved a little room for dessert and ordered the caramel apple cheesecake for another 5 dollars. holy cheesecake Gods! talk about melt in your mouth good. since it was my mom's birthday I let her eat the majority of it, but i could go back just for a piece of that little heaven. it was a great fall dessert with so much flavor. it even had little pieces of apples in the cheesecake. yums!
my mother has talked about this pizza every night now. i know she loved it as did i. it lived up to the talk and i am sure to be a regular now. thanks grimaldi's for making her birthday dinners one to be remembered just by the food and the nice service.
