My friend and I were driving around trying to find something to eat. We came across Grimaldi's and decided to give it a shot. We were not disappointed in the least.
We came at the end of lunch so it was pretty empty. We were greeted by a lovely lady who sat us down and went over the menu with us after we said it was our first time.
Our server came by shortly after and once again went over the menu with us. Menu is definitely short and sweet into the point. He walked us through the beverage menu and we ordered a couple of sangrias.
A few minutes later my friend ordered one small pizza for herself and I ordered one for myself as well. We decided to share a small house salad also. We were surprised by his reaction when we ordered two small pizzas. As soon as they came out we knew why.
The pizzas are huge for being small. And the price that you pay for them is pretty phenomenal. I chose to start off with a traditional white pizza. White sauce with mozzarella and garlic and I had a bacon and pepperoni. She went with the margarita pizza. Both were 5/5.
My pizza came out first and unfortunately then put it in wrong. But both the manager and the server apologized. He told me I could have add it but that my pizza that I ordered was coming right behind it. I finished two slices of the mistaken pizza and it was phenomenal. My friend had two slices of her own.
When my pizza, the one that I originally ordered, came out it was worth the wait. Had two slices of that one. We were completely stuffed. The service was impeccable. Very attentive. Everybody was surprised that we never been there before.
At the end of the meal they brought us out a complementary Oreo cheesecake. Cheesecakes are made in house. That was also a 5/5.
We ate most of the cheesecake and got boxes for our pizzas. We had leftovers for about two days. I have to say that the attentiveness and the level of customer service of this place made it go from a 10 to a 10+.
I love the East Coast since my family is from there and you got a real East Coast five. Everything from the subway station signs to the friendliness of the staff. I will definitely be back here.
