I've been wanting to try Grimaldi's for years and I finally made it here! My friend and I got lucky and showed up on a Tuesday so to our surprise they offered 1/2 off glasses and bottles of wine.
It's hard for me to get too complex when it comes to Pizza, so I stuck with the basics. Garden salad and pepperoni pizza. Both were really great.
What I couldn't help but notice was the relaxing environment. Open kitchen, brick walls... it was cozy but very casual. There was quit a diverse mix of diners ranging from us gals grabbing an early dinner to families with children and everyone in between.
My friend thought she had read somewhere that they imported their water from New York to make the dough at one point in time. We asked, it wasn't the case anymore. But now they do triple filter to get the water to get the dough as authentic to New York style as possible!
Grimaldi's... simple and classic!
