Profile

Grimaldi's wild popularity has nothing to do with its proximity to newly trendy DUMBO: The noisy pizzeria has been serving exceptional coal-oven pies for over a decade. A no-reservations, no-delivery policy guarantees long lines spilling onto the sidewalk, but no one seems to mind.

Note

Grimaldi's only sells pizza by the pie; no individual slices available.

Recommended Dishes

Cheese pizza, $15.20

The crust is fair; it needs to be crispier. The mozzarella has very little taste. The sauce is good, but could use better tomatoes. Anyone who has eaten in Di Fara's knows that Grimaldi's is not the number one pizza in New York

The owner is a complete a--hole

I tried to take a friend here and was surprised at how rude the elderly man out front was. Seriously, I'm a nice midwestern girl and I hadn't even started our interaction - he saw me looking at a sign saying that the take out line was the same as the regular line and trying to figure out if I should wait or not, and he asked if I needed help. When I reiterated the take out policy and asked him to confirm that it was true, our conversation devolved into him asking a series of pointless questions meant to make me feel stupid - "What does that sign say?" "What don't you understand about it?" "Oh yeah? How does it work at other pizzerias?" "Have you ever had a pizza here?" "What do you think people come here for?" Belittling your customers is out of the question. Considering Lombardi's is just as good, I'll be taking my business there from now on.
