Grimaldi's Garden City

[Stuartmc910]

Haven't never had the "famous" Grimaldi's pizza in Brooklyn, I looked forward to the day I'd get to Garden City and have it there.

What a total disappointment!! My wife and I opted for a small (14") pie with sausage and black olives.

First the pizza: It tasted as if it had been made two days ago and kept in the fridge waiting for a couple to order it. The sauce, what little there was of it, was tasteless, the cheese was barely warm, the sausage non-existent and the black olives were so salty they were inedible.

Was it our bad luck, or have other CHs experienced the same dull pizza?

Like the poster's advice above, the key to Grimaldis is to order the pizza well done; It makes all the difference.

Wow- I've been eating at Grimaldi's since it opened and never had a bad pie-I do always ask for my pizza to be well-done since I like a charred crust. You can watch them make each pizza to order if you're sitting in the front, but I prefer to sit at the bar for happy hour- $5.00 personal pizzas and cheap beer on tap, plus great basic salads.

Had a similar experience. I'll add that the cheese was also rubbery.

That's because it was never allowed to heat up and "melt."

you're on the wrong board, and yes, I went couple times and they both sucked. Anthony's Coal oven pizzaria from Florida that I love is supposed to open soon in Carle Place..go there, it's great

janie, you're right. My mistake. Also my mistake to go to Grimaldi's.
