Kind of a bummer, to be honest. When in Vegas, I love to visit the Grimaldi's at the Palazzo - its pizza is just amazing and the prices are reasonable. So when I saw that there was a Grimaldi's in Scottsdale a few blocks from my hotel, I had to check it out.
And so that's what I did a few days ago. I walked up to the bar, grabbed a stool, and placed my order: a 12" traditional pizza with pepperoni, onions, jalapenos, and mushrooms.
When the pie arrived it looks good, but then I starting eating it and the disappointment only grew. For starters, the cheese had a slightly funky taste that I don't recall from my meals at their Vegas location. And secondly, the crust didn't seem to have the char that I'm accustomed to. Each slice was quite floppy, a bit soggy, and the dough seemed less cooked than I'd like, especially towards the middle.
So overall, I was disappointed in the food. And while the bartender was friendly and I liked the ambiance, I can't give this place more than 3 stars. Ugh.
