| - I think I might be a 5-star whore! But Grimaldi's definitely deserves it. Let me say that I was born in New York and have tasted the very finest in pizza offerings. I would put Grimaldi's up against any pizza joint in NY.
First the place. I have been to both the Old Town and DC Ranch locations. I like the Old Town one better. Not sure why, I just do. The restaurant is nice and has both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor is perfect for a day drink in the spring or evening dinner in the summer. Cool patio. Indoors is a little tight, but the tables all have the traditional red and white checkered table cloth. The brick-ovens are also open to the restaurant. Nice touch.
Food and bevy. There is a decent selection of beers, including Peroni. I am a beer snob and like to drink the beer from whatever region the food is from. I have had wine here, but not a big connoisseur so my opinion wouldn't be too reliable. I have always gotten the salad with a pizza. It is very simple so don't expect something with lots of ingredients. For me the salad takes me back to when I was a kid eating at my grandmother's. She always made a simple salad with oil and vinegar, tomatoes, onions, and maybe olives. Sprinkle some salt and done. It is good, get it.
The real reason why everyone goes is the pizza of course. Can't remember all of the combos of toppings I've had, but so far the best has been ricotta and sun-dried tomatoes. The ricotta was so creamy it was like having dessert. I love thin crust pizza that is crunchy on the bottom and crust, but soft under the cheese and sauce. Doesn't disappoint. Just a plain cheese pizza is sublime as well. The pepperoni is awesome too! They are smaller than the usually fare, but they cook it long enough so the sides curl up and get crunchy. My friend Z picks them off and gives them to his wife because she loves them so much.
I have been there once when someone has gotten dessert. Funny story. He got depressed when someone at the table told him they reminded him of a friend of theirs. When a pic was shown of this friend, it was some large man that looked nothing like my friend. So, he put his head in his hands and said he didn't want his cannoli anymore because his feelings were hurt. The person sitting next to me picked up his fork, got a piece of the cannoli on it and fed him. He instantly cheered up. Maybe you had to be there.
Anyway, go to Grimaldi's. You will not be disappointed!
