Was in vegas for a few days leading up to the New Years and was looking to punch some carbs into the stomach after a long night of frolicking and drinking on the strip. Grimaldi's has been popping up all over the grid in the US but obviously is the Brooklyn establishment. It is a consistent experience and definitely a tasty one well worthy of their chains across the US. Was in the venetian and making the rounds around through the palazzo and remembered this joint was there and figured it would be the perfect meal to "Carb up". We showed up right at opening time and were seated immediately.
The server was friendly throughout the experience and was attentive to all of the items we needed. The restaurant itself has some seats on the "patio" which allows people to watch those walking around the casino and spots on the inside of the restaurant. The menu is broken into pizza (custom or specials), starters, desserts, and salads. Simple and classic dishes all around and for this trip decided to go with the Caprese salad and the Don which is their meat lovers pizza. The service as mentioned was quick and within minutes we had the Caprese salad. The portion is ginormous and obviously a simple dish with fresh basil mozzarella and balsamic vinaigrette. It was perfectly refreshing and took off the guilt of knowing I was about to break my diet and ingest a ton of carbs. The don was not too far off and this thing is loaded with sausage, meatballs, and pepperoni. The crust is nice and flaky and this is the solid thin crust pizza style. There was a good amount of char from the coal oven and the ingredients were plentiful and of good quality.
All in all, a solid stop and you know the consistency to expect from a Grimaldis. This is certainly a welcome joint on the strip and one of my spots where i know I can carb up.
