The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is inviting and simple. I will be honest: the pizza could be better. It was dry for my taste and really salty because of the chosen cheese to put on top (house choice). The knife doesn’t cut the food lol (I don’t like to eat using hands; personal preference). I was expecting a more juicy food, but sadly that was not the case. We ordered the 4 cheeses and the prosciutto with arugula. Both flavors dry, no sauce! I will not come back, but it’s worth the experience.
Service is absolutely amazing! Normally I start with the food quality but this place was absolutely amazing on customer service! The place is very big inside with multiple levels of seating and the bar area is very nice! Plenty of menu options and service is very friendly, it’s very busy but they never try to rush anyone!
I highly recommend this place! 😊

BEST CHEESECAKE EVER!!! The cheesecake is so creamy, fluffy and perfectly sweet. It is more like authentic Italian, rather than being a NY style cheesecake. But that is a good thing! I would also like to add that I had the best pizza of my life 🍕 here!!! 😃 We got the large pizza 1/2 white & 1/2 Margherita with pepperoni & roasted red peppers.
Excellent pizza. Quality of the dough was on point. A lot of variety for choice of toppings. Excellent presentation of the pizzas. Depending where you are seated, it may be a bit cramped. If you have difficulty with stairs, it may not be the best option, as seating may take you up to the third floor, and there are only stairs. Another downside is the pricing. A plain 18” pie is $26, and each topping is additional. The cost really does add up. I would definitely recommend this as a one time experience for anyone visiting the area
If you’re looking for the best pizza from NYC (and not only) you should stop. This is the perfect place. My second time here as a tourist (4 years between visits) and still the best pizza.
The staff is really friendly, the place is clean. If you don’t want to wait in queue you should book a table. The waiting is not too long if you’re group is small or if you don’t bother to stay at the bar (we did). You should definitely try it! ❤️
Extremely flavorful l, quality brick oven, NYC style pizza. My only knock down would be the crust, which was a by dry and somewhat thick (still thin crust, but relatively thick as far NYC thin crusts are concerned). The service was great. In fact, my date forgot her purse and the staff ran all the way down to bring it back. There's a lot of NYC history in the place, as portrayed by all the wall arts and decorations. That being said, I found the atmosphere inside a bit lacking. Perhaps opt to eat outside of whether permits.
It's one of the most famous Brooklyn pizzeria. Right next to juliana's. Don't be surprised to see long queue outside the restaurant during peak hours and holiday times. They only accept cash and no credit card. There are many atm within the restaurant so debit card should do the work. The pizza is as expected - delicious. I liked their traditional but more than that their white sauce with garlic is pretty amazing. Pizza size is pretty good and one 16 inch can serve 2-3 people.
The salad and pizza were delicious! Cozy atmosphere! Only negative was that they don’t have enough bathrooms! We waited forever!
Each floor has its own vibe, very cool building!
Amazing pizza!!! Staff is super friendly and kind. Pizza is deliciouse. A bit pricey but worth every cent.
The staff who took care of the waiting line was very kind and nice. We got a table on the 3rd floor, which was fine. The employees on the level had such boring faces and didn't seem to be interested in customers. The food came out very slow and wasn't very impressive. Brooklyn Bridge pizza was better than Margerita. And the Margerita pizza at Juliana's and Joe's were better for me.
Great atmosphere and amazing pizza! Definitely be prepared to wait in a line- but it's quick.
I recently visited Grimaldi’s and I must say, the pizzas were absolutely delicious! Thin crust tasted great , but …
The staff were very rude, especially one at the register, made us wait almost 30 minutes, wrote the wrong name and kept pizza until we called for manager..
One thing that really impressed me was the variety of pizza flavors available. They offer a wide range of options that cater to different tastes, including vegetarian options. It's great to see a restaurant that is able to accommodate different dietary restrictions.
Overall, I highly recommend Grimaldi’s . The pizzas are top-notch,, and the ambiance is just right. Whether you're looking for a night out or a tasty meal at home, this place has got you covered.
Arguably the best pizza I’ve ever had. My wife and I ended here after walking across the Brooklyn Bridge one evening. It was kinda late and I usually don’t visit restaurants close to closing time but we were hungry so we gave it a shot. The service was great, the pizza was incredibly fresh and piping hot! We were stuffed and wished we could have taken some home with us. Next time we’re in Brooklyn, we’ll definitely try it again!

You have to try it! Best in Brooklyn! We had a classic Margherita Pie, 16 inch. Perfect size, cooked to perfection. Added pepperoni on half. Bottled water. That's it. Classic Brooklyn lunch and the pizza is to die for. Go get it. Only pies, no slices served. Tell 'em Barsnobs sent ya!
They opened 11:30 and we were out there at 11:05am as like the 10th person/5th group. The pizza is good/great but not amazing. I had to deduce for the service and atmosphere because it. It was 85-90 degrees F outside, and it felt better to be seated outside than to be seated inside. I wish they could have told us. There was no airflow, and my wife and I were sweating purfusely. We ordered a large Margherita pizza and a large Brooklyn Bridge and the regular and chocolate cannoli. We had 1 adult male, 2 adult females, and 2 toddlers and finished everything being content/really full. Taste wise, we preferred the Margherita pizza over the Brooklyn Bridge even tho it had meat. This pizza was the closest to the pizza I had in Italy. Cannoli was crispy and not soggy, and the cream wasn't too overbearing. The service is so slow they don't fill all the tables because they can't serve everyone so that's why they have such a long time. It took us nearly 2 hours to finish our meal and pay. Next time, I'd probably take out and eat by the Bridge or park.
I went here with a group of ladies a few years back when we were at a conference in New York. It was fabulous. They were able to accommodate about 16 of us. The manager came out and personally talked with us to make sure we were having a wonderful experience and gave us ideas of things to do while in town. Recently, we took our four teenagers to New York and so I insisted this was one of the places we ate! Again, it did not disappoint, but our experience was completely different. We ate outside on the patio. They thought it was one of the best pizzas they ever had. They have a variety of food and you can customize any pizza. All the ingredients are fresh and all pizzas are made completely from scratch! The atmosphere is friendly, open, and warm. You can see the bridge from the restaurant. Whether it’s just a group of friends or a family dinner, you’ll love this place!
