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
