Editorial Review for Grimaldi's Pizzeria – by Dan McAlvanah
The Scene
The vibe is thoroughly relaxed, perfect for a lazy Sunday evening, ingenious for a first or second date. Checkerboard-print tablecloths drape the tables, pictures of Pavarotti, Sinatra and Brando cover the walls and, nine times out of 10, it's either the voice of Old Blue Eyes or the Italian tenor that emanates from the jukebox. Even if you're not Italian, you feel like family.
The Food
Grimaldi's crust is thin and crisp, thickly redolent of smoke and char; the sauce is savory, full of chunks of fresh tomato and warming flashes of herb; the toppings are wide-ranging, from brilliant bits of fresh sausage to strips of house-roasted red peppers; and the homemade mozzarella, which is dropped in small gobs on the sauce, is the perfect final touch.

The guy who was seating people was totaly rude. He literally told us to leave because he had 100 people waiting outside. He even obnoxiously stared us while we were finishing our drink, and he came back again and said he needed this table right now. Very rude. We'll never go back there again. They even pushed us into two peole table(we were three), and when we got to the table and my friend politely ask the guy sitting next to her to move a little bit, he got mad. Worst experience ever.

My husband and I were there a few weeks ago. We just happen to walking in the area and decided to drop in for a slice. One of the best pizzas we ever had! Very highly recommended.
