About

About Grimaldi's Pizzeria

Grimaldi's Pizzeria was born under the Brooklyn Bridge in 1990, when Patsy Grimaldi — who had spent decades perfecting his craft at his uncle's Patsy's Pizzeria in East Harlem — opened his own coal-fired restaurant at 19 Old Fulton Street. The original space quickly earned a reputation for its intensely hot coal ovens, which reach 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit and impart a distinctive char to the pizza crust that gas ovens simply cannot replicate.

After Patsy Grimaldi retired in the late 1990s, restaurateur Frank Ciolli acquired the brand and began expanding it beyond Brooklyn. A contentious lease dispute in 2011 forced the flagship location to move to a former bank vault next door at 1 Front Street, and the original address was reopened as a competing pizza restaurant. The Zagat Survey ranked Grimaldi's the number one pizzeria in New York City in 2007, and the BBC included it among America's finest pizza destinations in 2010.

Today Grimaldi's operates more than 43 restaurants across Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin. Each location maintains the tradition of coal brick-oven baking, offering a menu anchored by traditional, white, and pesto base pizzas alongside a rotating lineup of chef's selections. The chain continues to attract long lines and loyal regulars drawn by the combination of fresh mozzarella, hand-crafted dough, and that irreplaceable coal-fired finish.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What makes Grimaldi's pizza different?

Grimaldi's uses coal-fired brick ovens that reach 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit — hotter than any gas oven. This extreme heat bakes the pizza in just a few minutes, producing a thin, crispy crust with slight char on the bottom while keeping the center tender and the fresh mozzarella perfectly melted.

How much does a Grimaldi's pizza cost?

Prices vary by location. At a representative U.S. location, a 12" personal pizza starts at approximately $22.36, a 16" small pizza costs about $24.96, and an 18" large pizza is around $27.04 for a traditional pie. Chef's selection specialties such as the Barbecue Chicken run approximately $38.40 in the large size. Always check with your local Grimaldi's for current pricing.

What sizes does Grimaldi's pizza come in?

Grimaldi's offers three pizza sizes: 12" (personal, feeds 1-2), 16" (small, feeds 2-3), and 18" (large, feeds 3-4). Gluten-friendly and cauliflower crust options are available in the 12" size only.

Does Grimaldi's have gluten-free pizza?

Grimaldi's offers a gluten-friendly crust and a cauliflower crust, both available in the 12" size. They are suitable for those reducing gluten in their diet, but the kitchen does handle gluten-containing ingredients, so those with celiac disease should check with the specific location regarding cross-contact protocols.

How many Grimaldi's locations are there?

As of 2022, Grimaldi's operates 43+ restaurants across the United States in states including Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin. Use the location finder on the official website to find the nearest one.

Patsy retired in the late 1990s and sold the business to restaurateur Frank Ciolli, who later expanded it into a national chain.
