My favourite pizza crust in the world! Been here many times and it never failed me. The only pizza crust that would hold anything you put on it without caving and yet stay nice.The place is usually packed. So you wanna come before rush hour.Staff is friendly and provides prompt service, problem is that they sometimes make mistakes like not giving any cutlery or in our case serving the wrong pie size.Anyway, the pizza compensates for it all, just an amazing pie. We also had the lemon arugula salad which was nice.

Really enjoyed this pizza at an iconic pizza joint! We just split a white pizza with prosciutto and arugula, but it was more than enough, we even took home leftovers. We got seated right away (walk-ins) which was great, as we had just tried to get a table at the restaurant next door but there was a super long line - and owned/started by the same owner as Grimaldi’s!

Wonderful 1st time experience. We had a minimal wait to be seated. The pizza was fresh and hot! Our server was attentive and the pizza was served quickly.

Amazing pizza and cannoli but slow service! We came here hungry on a Monday afternoon after a long day of touring NYC. We were seated on the second floor around 5:20pm, food came more than an hour after around 6:30pm with no updates from servers on why our food took so long. Since we had to catch a 7pm train, we atein a rush and didn’t have time to savor the food. When I asked for the bill, the server came backwith another table’s bill which added to the time crunch.

Beer was amazing (ask for dark beer), service was great. We were in a line outside and because we were only 2 they took us in right away..And you can till it's true coal oven when your hands change colors ?

Great to be back at Grimadi's again, service and pizza was superb just as we remember it. There have been a few changes you can now get a beer which is very welcome on a hot Brooklyn day. The outside has scaffolding around it I hope the city and the building owner can come to a deal on restoration of this fine landmark building.

First time here. Kid wanted this for birthday party. NEVER AGAIN. Absolutely terrible service. Terrible. No delivery. No online ordering. I have to wait in line to enter for pick up. Ready in 20-25 minutes except it wasn’t. Arrived and still waiting 20 minutes later. Paid and told just 30 minutes. Ooops make that soon. Ooops make that 7 minutes. Awful! I’ve worked in restaurants and everything from tone of front desk to door greeters to waitstaff was AWFUL. I recommend Ignazio’s around the corner. Better pizza and better service. ?

Recently came here for lunch.. Great big pizza that is excellent! Staff members were very welcoming and great to deal with.. Highly recommended for you to stop here, you will not regret it!

We got together with our friend last night, but it was late, and restaurants have been closing earlier since the pandemic, so it was a toss up between Table 87 and Grimaldi’s… We chose Grimaldi’s because we haven’t been there since the new owners took over, and also for the Brooklyn Bridge photo shoots. I called ahead to see how the Wait time would be and there was no line, however, that could change at any time.Luckily… no line, and we were seated on the second floor at a window seat. Plates and silverware came without napkins, two out of the three plates had a pebble and a crushed red pepper flake, but the glasses were clean. We ordered the Quattro Formaggio, it smelled fantastic. I found the pizza to be too thin with a wafer-like topping of cheese. The true Quattro Formaggi has a bit more sustenance, you shouldn’t leave hungry, at this point they were already cleaning the ovens, so we ordered a cold antipasto, and that was a mistake. Everything was low grade, it repeated on me until I got home. The extra stars are for the service, they we’re fun. If they get better quality food and rename the pizza according to how they want to make it: ie “thin crust Quattro Formaggi”, I may recommend them.

This place is absolutely divine and offers delicious Pizza slices. The taste was tantalizing and made us wanting for more. I was told about this place - it came highly recommended and I am glad we had the opportunity to visit and taste the amazing pizza. Thank you.
