| - I had a birthday coupon for a free large pizza which is certainly a very wonderful and generous birthday offering from the fine folks at Grimaldi's Pizza! So, a big thank you to them for a very nice treat! The free pizza came with one topping, and I chose the basic pepperoni topping.
The restaurant is located in Boca Park which is an upscale shopping area with various stores and restaurants. The lot filled up fast on a weekend with nice weather, so it may not always be easy to find a parking spot. This area is quite popular!
There's a very pretty fountain in the front with outdoor patio seating which is great during nice weather. The interior is somewhat dimly lit, but that's actually relaxing on hot Vegas days. The decor is well designed and there's tables along with a few booths tucked here and there.
The pizza is thin crust, I tend to be more of a thick crust person, however, their thin crust was nicely executed, with just enough crunch but not tough or chewy. I expected it to have a bit more oven/smokey/coal baked flavor, so that was a little disappointing, although not a huge drawback. The sauce was okay - every now and then, the sauce tasted somewhat like meat sauce that you'd put on spaghetti rather than typical pizza sauce, but nevertheless was good. As some people have pointed out, the cheese has a habit of coming off with the bite rather than sticking to the crust. Again, not a huge drawback, just a tad annoying. Let's put it this way: I've had better pizza and I've also had a lot worse, so Grimaldi's certainly provides a pizza that's worth checking out.
I also ordered one of their in-house cannolli. As seems to be the case with cannolli, most of it isn't very memorable, with a filling that didn't stand out with any particular flavor. It contains mini chocolate chips which are tasty, and that's mainly what you taste with this cannolli. I won't hold that against them, though, because as I say, most cannolli for some reason seems to be run of the mill. My recommendation would be to try a different dessert, such as one of their seasonal cheesecakes or their tiramisu.
They also serve wine and beer, although I didn't try any of those offerings.
Service was outstanding, professional, friendly and helpful. FIVE STAR on that!
I was very happy to have had the opportunity to try this Grimaldi's and if/when I make the trek here for a second try, I would be more adventurous with the pizza toppings, as per some of the suggestions of other posters. Bottom line: if you're looking for a visually pleasing, nicely upscale area to have a pizza located in Boca Park with friends and family, this spot would certainly be one to consider and check out!
