If there’s one place where flavor meets firebrick perfection, it’s Grimaldi’s Pizzeria. Stepping into their menu is like opening a love letter to classic Italian-American comfort—with a few seasonal surprises tucked in like a wink from the chef.
Let’s start with the starters, where simplicity sings. The Bruschetta is a crunchy, tomato-loaded delight kissed with basil and olive oil. Then comes the Caprese, a bright, fresh classic that lets the creamy mozzarella and ripe tomatoes shine—drizzled just right with balsamic glaze. It’s the kind of opening act that gets your appetite buzzing.
Now, just when you think it’s all pizza and pies, Grimaldi’s seasonal selections turn up the charm. This spring’s Bridge Board is a board of pure joy—think charcuterie with flair, balanced, and beautifully plated. And the desserts? Oh, they’re dreamy.
I tried the Caramel Coconut Cheesecake—toasted coconut and a buttery caramel drizzle over Grimaldi’s rich cheesecake base? Yes, please. The Banana Cream Cheesecake also surprises with its nostalgic, pudding-like fluffiness wrapped in velvety indulgence.
But don’t skip the mainstays. The Dessert Trio is perfect for the indecisive sweet tooth, offering a taste of multiple classics. The Tiramisu is light and espresso-forward, just as it should be. As for the cheesecakes—New York and Oreo—each is thick, creamy, and decadent, with crusts that hold their own.
Grimaldi’s Pizzeria isn’t just about coal-fired pies (though they’re fantastic too). Their menu builds an experience, one starter, slice, and sweet bite at a time. It’s where old-school flavor meets seasonal creativity—and every dish has a little bit of soul baked in.
