Summary: True NY style pizza, crispy and holds up to the old NYC pizza test: "hold slice with one hand and if it does not slump over or require a second hand than the crust was created and cooked perfectly!"
In depth: being from NY the lady and myself are slight pizza snobs. Grimaldi's on Eastern has always delivered a solid pie that reminds us of back home. See people complaining about the crust and I think they are simply uneducated. The crisp and darkened crust is the way this "coal oven" pie is served. That coal oven taste is transferred into the crust and gives it amazing consistency and flavor. This is not the Albanian owned knock off pizza parlors that most Vegas locals have grown accustomed to eating.
I like to add the Ricotta Cheese, fresh tomatoes and sausage to my pie. I also like artichokes and think they make a decent topping along with olives.
The Caprese salad here is the bomb. I like to add salami for an additional $2 more (see my pics).
I only removed a star for two reasons: 1) the cost seems a little too high for pizza. It tastes good and I am a customer, I only feel like we would go more if it was priced appropriately. 2) service can be spotty when you eat in. Had to get up and track down our waitress last night to take our order.
Lastly, Grimadi's makes for great left over cold pizza. Make sure you take a couple slices home for cold pizza breakfast the next day!
