If you’re searching for THE best coal-fired brick oven, New York-style thin crust pizza in the world, look no further. Grimaldi’s offers over 100 years of pizza-making traditions and the tantalizing aroma of pizza and calzones baked to perfection in the signature coal burning oven.
Why coal-fired ovens? It gives our pizza and calzones a unique flavor and a crisp crust that is just not possible from gas, convection or wood burning ovens.
If you're looking for a really good pizza, keep looking. This shop was very disappointing. I expected my $30 pizza to be really good. It was not. It was not even close. It didn't even have the toppings we ordered, not that it would have mattered. The only positive thing I can say about the restaurant is the beer was served cold.
There's nothing on the menu but plain pizzas of 3 types, calzones, and salads.....that's it! No sandwiches, pasta, or anything else to offer to those who don't want pizza. The wine list is much more extensive than the menu.
Pizzas are personal ($9), small ($14), and large ($16) in 3 varieties of cheese, white, and pesto. They offer no specialty pizzas whatsoever. You have to create your own pizza by adding toppings $2 to $4 each. Get a small pizza with 3 toppings and you are hitting $22 for a 16 inch.
The pizza is very good, no doubt about it. The crust is perfect, sauce is good, and the mozzarella they use is very good. But for the cost and the very limited offerings, I much prefer Anthony's or Carmines. If anyone in your party doesn't care for pizza, they better enjoy a salad for dinner or you will have to go elsewhere.

Baked in a coal-fired brick oven, the pizza here is thin-crusted and crispy, topped with handmade mozzarella and that bright, sweet-savory tomato sauce. And here’s what I like about it: It’s balanced. And it’s just enough. There’s just enough crunch in the crust, just enough sauce on the pie, just enough sweetness in the sauce. (Full review)
