Grimaldi’s Pizzeria

One of the best pizzerias In town, defiantly one of my top choices when going out for pizza. Service is always great, waiters and waitresses are always at the top of there game. Great atmosphere and the place is always clean, which is very important to me.
Highly recommend, trust me I’m from New York I know what good food is all about.

Pleasantly surprised to find a pizzeria that would compare to our Brooklyn Taste profile while on VACA in Arizona. Long story short, pizza Friday is pizza Friday no matter where you are so when we went away we needed to find a pizzeria that could contend with our New York expectations.
We chose grimaldis. Happy we did. Pizza was better than expected… But hey… Not like Brooklyn but just enough to pass. How u doin’ fuhgeddaboudit…

How can I describe the best D$%m gluten free pizza… I have searched high and low and FINALLY Grimaldi’s at the Scottsdale Quarter got it right! My husband is a restaurant manager so anywhere we go he critiques the service and the food. The manager Brian came over to great us, and also the co manager Kevin. I feel bad j don’t remember our servers name but she rocked it 5 star service and food. Thank you so much to all the staff on Tuesday the 31^st for making our date night memorable. I can’t figure out if it’s a good thing that I live walking distance away but at least I get the best gluten free pizza in town

This was my first visit to this location. Today is Saturday so it was busy. I ordered a large Don to go. It was wonderful. I was nervous about ordering from a location in the Quarter on a busy Saturday night but it was a success. The staff was friendly and the pizza was delicious. I will be back if I need a pizza and I am in the area.

This is by far the best pizza I have ever had! I absolutely HATE cold pizza (leftover pizza) and I ate two slices for breakfast after having 3 slices the night before! As far as staff, they are nothing to brag about, but the AMAZING quality of pizza overcomes the meh staff. I don’t mind paying more for Grimaldis pizza because it is the only NY style pizza out there that is actually worth it. My favorite toppings are their cute mini sized pepperoni and the artichoke hearts. Yum !

Walked in on a Saturday exactly 4 pm and was told that they basically don’t serve pizza until 5:15?! Myself and the group behind us walked out. Who the fuck doesn’t serve food at 4 pm on a Saturday?

We showed up during a busy time and sat at the bar. It looked like we had made mistake because the bartender was obviously more concerned with finishing his shift and getting out of there than greeting us. Just as my wife and I were about to call it another female bartender showed up and saved the day. She was very nice, helpful and though busy, she clearly understood how to keep everyone she was waiting on happy. She had 4 or 5 tables on the patio and several guests at the bar. She was also helping the wait staff with their drink orders. They have a pretty good beer selection and best of all a very good wine selection. We ordered a very nice bottle of wine that we had just had a few nights earlier at Fleming’s and really enjoyed it. The pizza was very good and we enjoyed an excellent salad as well. Nice job!

The pizza is very good but not something I will crave.
Service was bad. My boyfriend was looking at the drink list and she grabbed it. I had to go to the hostess stand to get a menu so we could look at it. Again, she came back with our salad and grabbed the menu before we could order wine. So we gave up and stuck with water.
Atmosphere — at 6pm (on a Wed) everyone with 3 kids showed up and it got loud fast. Until then it was calm and peaceful on the patio with just 2 other tables filled.
Doubt I will go back.

I love pizza, especially Grimaldi’s, but the original in NY is still the best. This one did not disappoint though. We went in a Friday night with the kids around 5:30PM and had no issues with quick seating. After 6 on a weekend though it starts getting a little busier, and by the time we left there were people already waiting.
We ordered a large pizza, Caesar salad and some drinks for all of us. Nothing crazy, just the basics, so don’t expect this to be in depth. Pizza arrived hot, tasty, and prepared to order. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Good experience in Scottsdale.

Nicely cooked crisp pizza. Thin like a NY style. Good ambiance, dark, noisy with lots of TV’s showing the games. Nothing really stood out though although it was good. I would return and if you are in the area, eat here too. But don’t travel across town.

Grimaldi’s is known for their New York style thin crust pizzas made in a coal fired brick oven.
This location in Scottsdale quarter has a beautiful décor those red checkered tablecloths have an old world pizzeria charm.
They have an elaborate selection of Red, white and Rose wines. The large 18″ pizza is $ 18 and you have to pay $ 2-​$ 5 (depending on what you get) for every additional topping which i feel is a little steep.
We ordered a half and half large pizza with various toppings like grilled chicken, mushrooms, black olives, green pepper, onions, sundried tomatoes, spicy chicken sausage and ricotta cheese. They do not have pineapples which is one of my favorite pizza toppings.
The pizza itself was nice and service is good. They are pretty full all the time and parking can be a problem.
I had a Rose wine which tasted fine (i’m no wine connoisseur).The Calzones here are pretty famous but i was too stuffed to try any. They also have a dessert trio for $ 10 which is so delish (choose any three options from cheesecakes, cannolis and tiramisu).If anything i recommend saving some room for dessert.
Cheers!

Grimaldi’s…I’ve eaten here several times in the past couple of years and finally getting around to a review. I think this place is pretty decent for pizza. When I first tried it, I thought it was pretty amazing and after a few more visits, I think this place is ok. Probably cause I found a true New York gem in Isa’s Pizza on 40^th street and bell. The menu is pretty basic, a few salads and some pizza options. They charge 18 for a large and 16 for a small and all topping are additional. That’s where they get you. Cause I generally like pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms, so that additional 6 bucks just for those toppings.
Overall pretty solid New York style pizza, but a little on the pricey side.

We have been to Grimaldi’s twice, and both times were outstanding! Their New York style pizza has a wonderfully crisp thin crust, with delicious and generous toppings. We like to share the small pizza, along with their very ample and tasty small salad.
They have friendly, attentive service with a smile. The restaurant is pleasantly decorated with loads of New York scenes.
We have taken friends to Grimaldi’s and we recommend it highly.

In Arizona this is one of the few places that has good New York style pizza. I ordered to go and didn’t eat at the place and got a small pepperoni and onion red sauce pizza and an onion white garlic sauce pizza. Both were delicious but the white garlic pizza was better. It was quick to be made (20 min) and easy to pick up aside from one thing., they have parking right outside of Scottsdale Quarter specifically for delivery and pick ups which is 15 min, this was blocked off by white cones and no one was parked there so parking absolutely was awful for pick up… This should really be fixed… Other than that great pizza

Over the years, I have vacillated between thin crust and thick crust pizzas. I’ve always liked thin crusts as a kid, but changed my taste preference to thick crust over the years.
Grimaldi’s is a purveyor of the thin crust variety and does a great job of it.
We had a large group (16+) of friends that just wanted to get together and hang out. The majority of my friends are thick crust lovers, so this was a departure from their normal preference. However, since I was paying for everything, there was nary a whine.
All in all, the pizza was very good, and it even managed to convince the naysayers in our group. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere here at the Scottsdale Quarter by Kierland Commons are vibrant and modern.
The only complaint from everyone was the choice of venue’s parking. We originally tried to make reservations for the old town scottsdale location, but it was booked up 2 weeks in advance. Unfortunately, this location has dreadful parking. I hope that in the future when additional parking garages are erected, that the perpetual congestion can be relieved.
Parking here isn’t so bad in the middle of the day during the week day as I often stop by this area. However, the weekends are simply atrocious.
Otherwise, the restaurant itself was exemplary.

I may have found my new favorite pizza place in AZ! I grew up eating NY slices and have yet found pizza that makes my taste buds dance. GRIMALDI’s has it! Additionally, they gave us $ 5 off just because we had never been there before.
Great customer service + Great Food = I will be back!

I hear this is big on the east coast. We dined with a few New Yorkers and they seemed to approve of this take on pizza. We ordered a few salads, 2 pizzas and a calzone for 6 people and it left us with left overs for 2 days.
The service was incredible but it did leave us a bit late for our next meeting. If you are in a rush and have a large group I would make arrangements before sitting down as the place can get quite busy.
Over all. Great pizzeria!

I looove Grimaldis. It’s the best pizza in Scottsdale (IMO).
The only drawback is the costly toppings– if you want a well-​adorned pizza, be prepared to see the bill rack up quick!
The salads are awesome with the perfect amount of dressing, the crust and pizza sauce is spot on! Not to mention their AMAZING Birthday deal – free pizza with 1 topping for your birthday! They don’t even care much about the expiration date as long as it’s within the month (they barely even check).
Service is awesome and I love the location. No reason not to stop by every time I’m back at home! YUM!

Love their pizza. Been to the Grimaldi ’ s at Old Town Scottsdale and here st the Scottsdale Quarter and both sites are awesome.
The times I have been here have never been to busy but not complaining hate to fight crowds and wait to be seated. Just hope they don’t close up because I would have to drive to the Old Town Scottsdale location.
I love their sausage and Mushrooms or what ever the family wants to order.
The service is generally very good and they are always there to top off your drinks.
Great location with plenty of free parking.
Will be back again to chow down on the pizza.

After moving from Scottsdale, AZ to Bosie, ID. The food at Grimaldi’s is just the same quality… another words, the best!!!
The atmosphere is cozy and staff very welcoming. Our servers name was Amy and was an A+. The manager, Rick was always checking tables and really seems to care.
So glad they have a Grimaldi’s here!
