PrintGrimaldi's Pizza Brooklyn Heights
Total tourist trap! The pizza crust was blackened, tasted charred, and was not crisp!? The center of each slice sagged from the moisture but not because there were too many toppings~this pizza had one topping...garlic. A thin crust should be crisp, tasty, and 'crunch' when bitten into. Sadly, Grimaldi's met none of this basis requirements. I've had MUCH better pizza on the Jersey boardwalks. The wait staff should take their expertise to Seinfeld's Soup Kitchen.

Unfortunately, it seems that Grimaldi’s has been resting on their laurels recently. It used to be my favorite pizza in the city (my mom’s, too) but after a burnt/soggy pie in December and two more of the same in February, I have called off my love affair with them. They need to get their act together if they want to be able to compete against Ignazio's, which is a new place (not sure if it's brick or coal oven) that is opening just a few blocks away, as well as all the other excellent coal oven pizzerias in the city.

Interesting. I went to Grimaldi's for the first time two weeks ago, and each of the pizzas I ordered (plain and white) were almost perfectly crafted. Maybe the quality of pizza varies depending on which cook is manning the oven.

They have become a chain of sorts - there is one here in AZ and another in the works.
I have been there once and I thought it was pretty good. But I am from Chicago and that East Coast Pizza doesn't even compare to a good old Chicago Pie.

I stopped going to Grimaldi's when it became clear that every pizza was going to be a sog-fest no matter what.
