My first Grimaldi's experience was about 7 or 8 years ago, at the first Las Vegas location on Eastern. We would drove over there just for Grimaldi's or find a reason to go to Trader Joe's and then happen to pass by Grimaldi's.
From the First Bite on Day One, it was the intrigue of the soft creamy mounds ricotta as a topping that hooked me! I had already tasted some of the great New York pies, I.e., Patsy's, Totonno's and some of the emerging California greats such as Delphina in San Francisco.
Grimaldi's arrival elevated the then lackluster, subpar pizza scene in Las Vegas. Though I would gladly take a bite or more from a pizza from Mozza (LA), John's (NY) or Chez Panisse (Berkeley, CA) any day, having Grimaldi's nearby on Rainbow is a comforting thought!
With curbside pickup, Grimaldi's on Rainbow can't be beat! Tonight's spicy chicken sausage provided a nice kick and counter part to the standard ricotta. Yum!
