User Reviews for Grimaldi's Pizza

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Grimaldi's Pizza in Garden City is hands down the best in Long Island. The pizza is extremely tasty and you have a variety of toppings to chose from and it cooks in about 5 minutes. The salads are out of this world and everything is extremely fresh. The atmosphere is beautiful with a friendly staff and awesome music. Grimaldi's Pizzeria in Garden City also has a nice size bar and plenty of tvs to watch all the sport games. It is definately for people of all ages and a place where you can bring your kids. Once you eat Grimaldi's pizza I bet you will never be able to eat from your local pizzerias because it really is the best out there. Not only is the food in the restaraunt good but so is their catering menu =)

Pros: Parking Lot in Back, Delicious Pizza, Outstanding Service

Cons: Waits on Friday nights but have a drink at the bar while you wait and it all works out ;)

IT'S NO WONDER I SEE THIS PLACE ADVERTISING IN EVERY MAGAZINE AND EVERY COUPON MAGAZINE I GET MAILED TO AT MY HOUSE. THE PIZZA AIN'T WHAT IT SHOULD BE. SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE KNOWS IT TOO WHY ELSE ALL THE ADS AND COUPONS. THE PROBLEM IS THEY ARE TRYING TO LIVE UP TO PEOPLE'S EXPECTATIONS OF THE "LORE" OF NYC PIZZA. THE TRUTH IS IF THEY CALLED THE PLACE MIKE'S PIZZA IT MIGHT HAVE DONE BETTER AS THERE WOULD BE NO PRECONCEIVED EXPECTATION. I UNDERSTOOD THOUGH THAT THE OWNERS AREN'T REALLY THE ORIGINAL "GRIMALDI" FAMILY, BUT RATHER BOUGHT THE BUSINESS AND THE BUSINESS NAME RECENTLY FROM THE ORIGINAL "GRIMALDI'S". THEY HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE BUSINESS AS LONG AS WE WERE LEAD TO BELIEVE BY THE GUY WHO GREETED US AT THE DOOR. KINDA DISAPPOINTED TOO THAT THEY USE THE ZAGAT REVIEW OF THE BROOKLYN LOCATION FOR THEIR ADS KIND OF TACKY ATMOSPHERE WITH THE MURAL OF THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE ON THE WALL AND THE WANNA-BE FRANK SINATRA PHOTOS/MUSIC ALSO SEEMS KIND OF FUNNY THAT EVERYONE I TALK TO SAYS THE SAME THING ABOUT THE PIZZA 1 NO FLAVOR WHATSOEVER IN THE DOUGH 2 THE SAUCE IS NOTHING SPECIAL 3 PIZZA GETS COLD WAY TOO FAST AND THE REMAINING OF A WHOLE PIE ARE NOT WORTH EATING WHEN COLD FUNNY THING IS TO READ THE GLORIOUS REVIEWS THIS PLACE GETS FROM ALL THE LOCAL PAPERS, I WONDER IF IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE AMOUNT OF ADS THEY KEEP BUYING

Pros: COAL OVEN LOTS OF COUPONS TO BE FOUND

Cons: FLAVORLESS PIZZA OVER PRICED TACKY DECOR
