The place is fantastic, located right next to the Brooklyn Bridge, which has a nice view of the city! The servers are extremely nice and the pizza is delicious. During the summer we usually order a 16 inch pizza which is a perfect size for 2 people and we take it to go and eat it near the pier. But since it's still really cold out, we decided to eat indoors for the first time, and it was a bit of a long wait for 2 people it was about a 30 minute wait, but everything was delicious and we will definitely be coming back in the summer to order a pie to go!
The wait was long over 40min, it was worth it!! Pizza did not disappoint so yummy! Eddie our waiter made our lunch meal even more enjoyable! I was also so impressed when I saw him making sure my wine glass was spotless before serving the wine! Never had to ask for more water, always a plus in my eyes. Considering how very very busy Eddie was with all tables full, we truly were made to feel we were his only guest!
Pretty good pizza but way too overpriced for what it is. Tables are crammed together on the upstairs portion of the restaurant and we didn't get menus for a solid ten minutes. Despite this, the pizza is pretty good. The cheese and sauce is flavorful and the crust was on the thinner side and had a nice fluff and crunch to it. Toppings tasted high quality but adding them on can get pricey.
My favourite pizza crust in the world! Been here many times and it never failed me. The only pizza crust that would hold anything you put on it without caving and yet stay nice. The place is usually packed. So you wanna come before rush hour. Staff is friendly and provides prompt service, problem is that they sometimes make mistakes like not giving any cutlery or in our case serving the wrong pie size. Anyway, the pizza compensates for it all, just an amazing pie. We also had the lemon arugula salad which was nice.
The best pizza we have ever had. It is not even an exaggeration. Real fresh ricotta cheese , delicious sauce and perfect crust. The thought of it makes us want to go back. Take our word for it and you will not be disappointed.
Really enjoyed this pizza at an iconic pizza joint! We just split a white pizza with prosciutto and arugula, but it was more than enough, we even took home leftovers. We got seated right away walk-ins which was great, as we had just tried to get a table at the restaurant next door but there was a super long line - and owned/started by the same owner as Grimaldi’s!
Honestly the pizza was okay - ingredients were fresh which is a huge plus. Unfortunately we waited more than 30 mins when the place was empty on a Tuesday at 2pm for a traditional pizza that was average by New York / if you love pizza standards. Drink prices were reasonable at least and range was not bad. Would not come back for the trouble compared to everywhere else.
Wonderful 1st time experience. We had a minimal wait to be seated. The pizza was fresh and hot! Our server was attentive and the pizza was served quickly.
Yes Grimaldi's is some of the best pizza in New York, I think I like the sauce the best. Classic New York Pizza, everyone at this restaurant is very friendly and helpful, the restaurant is located almost below the Brooklyn Bridge, if you're staying in Manhattan, very easy to get to by Subway and then just a short little walk to the restaurant. Ate almost half of pie and then took the rest back to the hotel and finished it off..
Other than the hostess or 'security guard' whom was a very serious looking lady, not friendly and helpful at all, rest of the experience was good. For lunch, they closed at 4pm, but would kinda stop accepting walk-in or orders probably around 3.20pm to 3.30pm same goes for Juliana's pizza and I was there prior and the staff did not even bother asking or at least try. I arrived at that time and decided to opt for takeaway. The lady staff manning the counter was really sweet and she offered to check with kitchen if they can still made one pizza for me. Needless to say, it was a go ahead. What I really like was that they have a large warmer to place in all takeaway orders making sure the freshness and hotness was still as good as dining in. The nice lady personally brought the pizza to me and needless to say, well deserved tips for her. Brought the pizza and ate it by the river under the nice and very hot summer weather. Like the tomato and cheese ratio and surprise of all, really enjoy the dough. It was very chewy and savoury, and definitely one of the best or even the best pizza dough I ever had. This is the first time ever that I actually finished eating the entire pizza by myself , and including the dough usually I will leave the dough and not eat it towards the last 2-3 pieces or entirely if the dough does not taste good. Highly recommend to check this place out, and enjoy it outdoor during the hotter months. And if you ask me Grimaldi's or Juliana's if you can only go for one, definitely Grimaldi's as service was better than Juliana's based on this experience.
