After having a few people swear by this place, my husband and I finally made a stop to see what all the fuss was about. After eating at Grimaldi's, we still aren't sure what all the fuss is about.
Don't get me wrong, the pizza is good- it's just not fantastic enough for the price or stuffy atmosphere. How can you charge $16 for a cheese pizza and then another $4 for some artichokes? Heaven forbid you want to build yourself a multi-topping pizza. You'll end up paying $30 when it's all said and done.
It's a thin crust, which I like, but thin enough that my husband and I could split the entire pie and leave not feeling like we just pigged out. The cheese and sauce are good, but I can't speak for the toppings since we were playing it cheap that night and didn't order any.
I'd rather have some more authentic NY-style pizza and head over the Cosmopolitan's Secret Pizza joint. Plus I can enjoy better music and scenery while I'm there.
By the way, why was there *one* basil leaf on our pie? Seriously, what's up with that?
