| - This is a great place in The Venetian/Palazzo for some solid pizza. Having been to the OG Grimaldi's in Brooklyn a couple years ago, I have to say the Vegas location does a pretty good job at emulating some of NY's finest slices of pizza.
Our group of 6 came on a Saturday afternoon, and were seated right away. Damon was very friendly and suggested right off the bat that we get a small salad to share and The Don (the restaurant's must-have pizza). Damon says Grimaldi's LV is known for their salad and pizza, which they meticulously make to perfection. We ended up ordering a small spinach gorgonzola salad and large The Don and a large pizza with pesto, artichoke, and mushrooms on it. The salad was delicious and the small size was a perfect sample size for our group of 6. The pizzas came out in about 15-20 min. The Don impressed everyone, as the crust was baked to perfection and the toppings were amazing. I was so taken aback by the explosion of flavor in the italian sausage. I would put those bad boys in any Italian dish, whether it be pizza, pasta, or a sub, and call it a day. Our custom built pesto pizza was solid as well, but definitely not as memorable as The Don.
Overall, Grimaldi's LV on its own is a solid 4 star establishment. Of course, it doesn't compare to Brooklyn's flagship. But hey, at least you don't have to wait an hour in line just to get in in Vegas. Great food, great service, a bar and tv's, can't go wrong here!
