Grimaldi’s Pizzeria

I have to say that this place is honestly one in a million. I came here with a friend and had a truly incredible time. But that’s not the best part.
After I left I realized that I had forgotten an envelope with money inside! Cash that is completely untraceable and I thought no one would return it. Luckily someone from their AMAZING staff did.
Who ever you are I am so grateful for people like you.
This place is truly amazing. I recommend it to everyone!!!

Having grown up in NYC my needs/​expectations for pizza are simple: a thin, crunchy, but not cracker-​like bottom crust; an edge crust that has some crack to it when you bite into it but not dry and high quality balanced toppings that share the stage with their counterparts. Bring on the Grimaldis Margarita pizza! They nailed it! The slightly sweet Marinara sauce, thin sliced fresh mozzarella rounds and fresh basil leaves are the trio of flavors that define this pie.
For those hailing from the Big Apple folding a slice is the only way you can walk and eat in the subway or as you rush to your next destination. When folded the end should not sag and drop its toppings if you’re consuming a «plain pie». It’s survival 101. Try it on your slice at Grimaldis… it passed the test.
My recent trip to Vegas was the second time I’ve been to this establishment. It was on my punch-​list since my last trip 2 years earlier. My BW another couple and I shared a large freshly prepared house salad (easily enough for 4 – 6 hungry eaters), some draft brews and the large Margarita pie made up our dinner out. Service was efficient and fast (perhaps too fast since we were still passing the salad bowl around when the pie came). The dining space was a little noisier than I like but, when the pizza arrived, no one needed to talk. The pizza disappeared rapidly and I easily could have taken down another slice without much encouragement. A TOTALLY enjoyable dinner for 4 under $ 50 is hard to come by in Vegas.
Oh yes, before we left Sin City a week later we went back for a 2^nd time. That’s something to say in a town filled with wall to wall restaurants!

I really love it here. The pizza is seriously delicious which has been consistent on these reviews but an important thing to note is the staff has had serious improvements in the past year or so. So the other reviews may have been old or just during one of their super busy moments — from personal experience I know Saturday nights are crazy there!
On Sunday, I go during the evenings and sit at the bar. They always have football on during the season and the bartender for Sunday evening shifts is great. He is attentive and has an awesome personality (even if I pick on his Seahawks jersey. Which I do only because I’m a bitter niners fan)
I recommend strongly for good atmosphere and food! Enjoy :)

First time here tonight, compliments of my new friend, Tony. The pizza was beyond good, no doubt the best I’ve ever had (and at my age, that’s saying a lot). Our server Bryna was Outstanding — she was amazingly calm while doing hectic duty — our compliments to her, and we shall ask for her again. Kudos.

I mean. This pizza wasn’t really all that. I would rather have Pizza from Costco. It’s cheaper and tastes way better than Grimaldi’s. Not to mention, the tables are WAY too small to hold a pizza if you’re going with family. The tables probably would only fit two to three people at most with one single pizza. The sauce doesn’t really taste like anything, almost as if it’s been watered down. The cheese is a little bit rubbery on the pizza, too; not to mention, this is probably one of the most expensive pizzerias out here. The staff also never really listened. I understand that it may be busy, but when you’re shouting over your customers and can’t even hear a simple drink order, that’s when it kind of gets a little uncomfortable. Most of the staff don’t even seem like they want to be there. ²⁄₅ would not eat here again.

Went here on a Friday night, it was fairly busy and I really do wish the restaurant was bigger to accommodate more people. After a 20 min wait we were seated. Our waiter was amazing, super friendly and funny. The pizza here is always delicious and their cheesecake is also great!

Vegetarian pizza was amazing! Kids had the meat lovers… excellent taste. Terrific service. Kids loved being kept busy with pizza dough.

NY style pizza that is absolutely delicious! Usually I get a lot of toppings but here I just get pepperoni and it’s amazing! The sauce is light and the cheese is the best I’ve ever had on a pizza. It’s not super cheesy and it appears to be clumps of cheese before they bake it instead of covering the pizza with shredded cheese. I could be wrong but that’s how it looks.
The only thing I wish they would change is adding a few more items to the menu like garlic bread or something. Sometimes when you’re super hungry you want an appetizer other than a salad. I’m used to it now and I’m prepared to wait, so I guess that’s a good thing since I’m extra hungry when the pizza comes.
If you sign up for their email newsletter you get coupons for dine in visits. My favorite email from them, is a free pizza during your birthday month! Happy Birthday to me lol!

Quite simply this is really good pizza. I am always in search of great pizza and Grimaldi’s was on the way home from work. Now for a chain it is a little pricey, my large pepperoni, sausage and mushroom was $ 24. $ 16 for a large, $ 3 for pepperoni, $ 3 for sausage and $ 2 for mushrooms.
I think this is one of the best tasting chain store pizzas I have had in Vegas/​Henderson. The crust was excellent, thin and just the right amount of crispy. The toppings were generous and high quality. The cheese and sauce were a perfect amount and very tasty. Overall a really well made and good tasting pizza.
I did take one star off as it took almost an hour for a to go order (apparently cleaning their ovens) and I think $ 24 is a little pricey for a large 3 topping. With that being said I WILL be coming back.

You might note that my original review starts with a disclaimer about my lack of pizza experience. I’ve gained a little experience since then, but maybe this place has worsened a little too.
A year after my first visit, I returned to Grimaldi’s for another birthday pizza. I ordered the same large pizza (red sauce) with meatballs. From the birthday coupon, I got $ 19 credit back for it again. I think prices have gone up though, with $ 16 for the base 18″ large pizza and $ 4 for the meatballs. I ended up having $ 1 worth of pizza to pay.
Let’s cut to the chase. Despite being quite hungry (I’d arrived straight from work), I wasn’t very impressed with what I tasted this time around. The pizza just seemed pretty bland. Maybe some of the acidic tomato notes stood out, but not the sliced meatballs, and definitely not the cheese. I tried all sorts of condiments on top, including parmesan, red pepper flakes, and pepper, but I just wasn’t getting much help. The table didn’t even have oregano (or garlic, as I now recall) as it did last year, but I don’t know how much those would have helped even if they’d been available.
I should note that I ate some of the leftover pizza after taking it home and popping it in the oven, and that pizza stood out in terms of crispy crust and just having more of the flavors. Actually, it tasted hot, as opposed to the warm-​ish pizza that our server was able to touch despite warning us of the temperature. I’m guessing that there was a delay at the restaurant from oven to table due to the hectic service during the already crowded dinner hours, and that lessened the experience.
I would have considered keeping my rating at four stars for the pizza, but I also tried a dessert trio ($ 10) with half-​sized portions of the tiramisu, Oreo cheesecake, and seasonal pumpkin cheesecake. Perhaps the latter was the most flavorful of the bunch, but again, they all seemed a little too bland and fleeting in flavor. The number of superior versions of all of these desserts outweigh the misses, so I can only conclude that the desserts are below average. I’d rather have the tiramisu at Trattoria Nakamura-​ya again, the pumpkin cheesecake from Lazy Dog, or pretty much any slice from Cheesecake Factory (a place that’s not even top of the line, mind you).
I’ll be back in a year, but I won’t be too enthused. Furthermore, I’m not even going to consider returning until then. On top of having had good experiences at Flour & Barley (via a Unilocal event) and Little Tony’s, I know that I can customize a far more complex and delicious pizza at Blaze Pizza not too far down the street. I simply can’t see the same luster in Grimaldi’s as I did before.

If you don’t come here you haven’t lived oh man we got a pizza and a calzone I was in heaven it was the greatest

I was in town for the UCLA game and stayed with a buddy at his place in Henderson. He loves this place and recommended we try it. Located in a strip mall with a few other eateries, parking was actually pretty easy on a busy Friday night. We tried to get a patio seat since the inside can get pretty noisy but we ended up right in the middle of the dining room. Fortunately, the acoustic gods were with us and we were not surrounded by screaming kids. Great service from the start. They had a ton of employees running around filling drinks and clearing plates.
You get a choice of sauces… red, pesto and garlic oil, and a ton of traditional toppings. I had a feeling the meatball would would be killer and I was correct. I really top quality thin crust NY pie. Great flavor, texture and a good bite to the crust. Ready to get your mind blown? They use slices of cheese instead of shredded… and they put the sauce on top of the toppings… Boom! OK… not too revolutionary but the results were good.
A very respectable dinner salad and a decent value. Top notch for a pizza joint.

Aug. 22, 2015. As a frequent customer to your 9595 S. Eastern Avenue location I was appalled by our experience on Sat. 8÷22÷15 at approx. 7:30 p.m. There was a table of 3 men and a woman. One man was drunk and disorderly. So much so, that a nearby table of adults with young children cancelled their order and left because of their foul language. Myself and my guest were likewise offended. One of the men at the table was permitted to enter and dine in bare feet, which was repulsive.
I called for the manager to ask that he take appropriate action. His comment was «I’ve already spoken to them and there was nothing more I could do.» I mentioned to him about the man being permitted to dine in bare feet and that being a health issue and potentially liability should he step on glass or other foreign matter. He just shrugged his shoulders and said «I’m sorry.»
This manager was approximately 6’3″ and 250 lbs. and seemed frightened to confront and order them to leave. I heard from some of the other dinners and they too were appalled and disgusted that the «manager» just let these unruly persons ruin their dinner as well. This was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had and will think twice before returning to that location.

The Boyfriend and I indulged in a date night and of course we chose or favorite place, Grimaldis! I wanted to update my review because once again we had a perfect experience. Bf wanted to try the spinach salad (I have a hard time not ordering the Caesar because it is my favorite), but the spinach was quite good. I appreciate that they never scrimp on the toppings.
Now to the good stuff… Pizza. This pizza is my absolute favorite. I have to hold myself from eating the whole pie! This time we ordered spicy chicken, sun dried tomatoes & spinach and I don’t know if I’ll ever ordered another variation. It was perfection!
I also love the Layer Cake Malbec and we couldn’t leave without an order of cheesecake for takeout. So yummy! The service was great. Kimberly was very attentive & friendly. She got a little busy towards the end of our meal, but she communicated and made sure we had everything we needed. I’m so glad this place has been able to stay consistently delicious. Thanks Grimaldis, I can’t wait for my next slice!

Grimaldi’s is one of my two favorite local pizza places. The service is always good and we’ve never had a problem getting a table despite being a busy place. The wait for food is never too long. This isn’t something that applies to me at this point, but the restaurant is family friendly.
They are a little different than most pizza places because they don’t have any suggested pizza combinations. All of the pizzas are create your own. You choose the size, base (red sauce, pesto, or garlic), and then the toppings. Each topping is an additional charge so this may not be the best place for someone that likes many toppings. I like the red sauce because it has a unique flavor that doesn’t overpower the toppings. The standard amount of cheese is minimal which I like, but for someone that wants a really cheesy pizza you may want to choose extra cheese.
In addition to good pizza they also have some tasty salads like the spinach salad. The small is definitely enough for two people to share if you are also getting a pizza.

Perfect crust means perfect pizza.
The char the oven puts on it, the chewy texture and crunchy crust makes the slices of these pies go fast. I always seem bothered that they don’t serve wings or garlic bread until I eat a piece of their pizza and forget all about everything else. Grimaldi’s does pizza right.
We ordered two pizzas, one with pepperoni and basil and the other with artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, basil and roasted garlic. Both equally tasty. I love that they use full slices of mozzarella and not shreds. It makes the pizza more authentic. We also ordered a caprese salad with fresh basil, mozzarella and thick slices of tomato.
For take-​out or dine in, Grimaldi’s is on my top list of great pizza.

A chain pizza place that can actually deliver, no pun intended.
I have driven past this place a million times, but never ventured in because there are plenty of places to eat on Eastern Avenue without hitting up a cross country pizza chain. When in Henderson, on a Friday night, after eleven, the pickin’s are slim and I was tired. I was «pizza chained» into submission.
I came in, bellied up to the bar, and ordered a Goose Island and Caesar salad. While perusing the menu for pizza options my salad quickly came and it was good. I mean it’s a Caesar salad, with fresh lettuce and solid dressing. You really have to try hard to mess up a Caesar salad.
I ordered a personal pizza (12in) with ricotta, sausage, basil, black olives, with a pesto drizzle. This pizza was very good and also came out fast and fresh. The crust was crispy and the ricotta was the perfect addition to the marinara and pesto collaboration. This was plenty of pizza for one person and the perfect sharing size.
I like the fact that I can build my own pie and the process was mostly painless. Good pizza, not amazing, but I would come back for the service and the beer selection. Grimaldi’s had done its job, I had a full belly, light buzz, and was ready for bed!

Hello Unilocalers :)
Today’s visit was to Grimaldi’s Pizzeria.
I was craving pizza and decided to call in to go.
I called Grimaldi’s and Junnie (I think that’s her name) answered the phone. Very polite woman.
Here is what I ordered:
Small size pizza
Half pesto and Half white
I added some toppings to both sides.
Junnie repeated the order back to me and told me that she will give me a call back to tell me the total.
20 minutes later… Still no call back.
So I politely called back and asked if maybe they forgot and I didn’t mind (maybe they were busy)?
Junnie answered the phone and apologized that she forgot to call back. Then I asked her if I should be on my way to pick up the pizza and she said it should be ready already sincere she already placed the order 15 minutes ago –_​_​_​–
I got there and a worker opened the door
For me (thank you)
I waited by the to go order area and this lady said;
«What’s the name for the order?»
Me: «Karen»
Her: okay your total is $ 38.92
Me: sounds good, by any chance do you have any ranch?
Her: we don’t have that here
Me: oh… Okay
Her: have a great day.
What annoys me the most is that she just
Left me with no options. WHERE IS YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE?!
Now on to the actual pizza.
PIEOLOGY sh*ts on this place.
Check out the video and pictures attached to this review.
Took a bite out of the white pizza and the crust is so hard and you can taste the char. The bottom of the pizza is burned and not moist, very dry.
I am so sad because I love food and this place received great reviews and I did not enjoy this place at all. I’m sorry I’m not coming back…
I forgot to add. After I ate Grimaldi’s I now have food poisoning. Thank you.

I can truly say that this locations pizza is better then the one I had at the original under the Brooklyn Bridge.
We always like to dine at the patio.
Ambiance is good.
The Service has been good all the times we have been here.
We ordered the Mediterranean salad was really good. The White with garlic Ricotta Pizza was great. The tiramisu was amazing!
So we keep on going back.

Came here with a date. His choice, and glad he picked it.
It was a tad noisy for trying to get to know you without kinda yelling at your date across the table… Hope I didn’t spit food on him. If I came with friends, the noise level would have been fine.
I arrived early, so I sat at the bar and talked to the coolest bartender, Andrea. She was the kind of person you just get drawn in and want to chit chat with all night. She picked out a great glass of red wine for me too!
When we say at our table, our waitress came around all bubbly and full of personality. I think her name was Kimberly.
We got the Caprese Salad to start and then tried the Diavolo pizza as our meal. Both were very delicious!!!
The pizza was that good thin crust with lots of toppings and a great tasting crust. Definitely will be back here!
