Grimaldi's Pizzeria

First time here. Some colleagues and I were in town for meetings and we thought we would stop in. We never heard of Grimaldi’s before but can tell you, we will be looking for other locations during our next travels. The staff were so friendly and helpful in explaining everything to us and had a great sense of humor. Being able to watch as the pizzas were made was fun. Watching them stretch and toss the dough and them putting it in the ovens was impressive. You need some serious skills to do all of that. The pizza was delicious. We were able to order a half and half pizza so that we could try two special pizzas at once. We did half “The Don” and half “Tuscan veggie pizza”. The Don was by far our favorite I think mainly because we did not know to ask for traditional and got white pizza. Well worth the visit!

First time visited this place without booking and had to wait 10 mins to arrange table and it’s good option to book a table before visiting. We ordered 2 large veg & chicken pizzas. Taste is good and the bread is thin crest.

Grimaldi’s Pizzeria: A Must-Try for Pizza Lovers If you’re a fan of authentic, high-quality pizza, Grimaldi’s Pizzeria is a must-visit. Their menu offers a great selection of unique and interesting pizzas at fantastic prices. But what truly sets them apart is their crust—it’s hands down the best I’ve ever had! Light, crispy, and perfectly baked, it provides the ideal base for their flavorful toppings. We ordered the arugula, prosciutto, and Parmesan pizza, which was absolutely delicious. While it was a bit salty, that was expected given our choice of a salty cheese and cured meat. The flavors balanced beautifully, and every bite was satisfying. With its inviting atmosphere, top-notch ingredients, and unbeatable crust, Grimaldi’s delivers a pizza experience that’s worth coming back for. Highly recommend!

This is a famous pizza place!!! Place was packed. And the pizza, oh my. The crust, perfect crunch. The cheese and the sauce worked perfectly with each other. The pizza went down with a nice Waterloo seltzer. Yes yes yes. Pizza. Yes

It was really good pizza. We ordered the margherita pizza (tomato, mozzarella, basil leaf) and we really enjoyed it. You can tell it’s made with care. The service was average but we didn’t have a bad experience at all. This is a great restaurant to try when exploring Old Town Scottsdale. I’ve never been to NYC so I can’t compare this place to an actual new york pizza shop but from everything I’ve seen online this is a classic NY style pie. We will be back when in the area exploring again.

Attended a Reserved room for a private party, for 40 people. Everything worked out great. The room was set up to accommodate all of our friends. The pizzas were large and delicious and we heard a lot of compliments on how good they tasted. Desserts were a cake and cannoli’s that were a hit! Have your party at Grimaldi’s! The service was really great! Staff were super friendly and accommodating. The bar was well stocked and the ice tea was delicious.

We had dinner last night at Grimaldi's in Scottsdale. It was great, the service was excellent. Hayden was very attentive and helped with menu choices. We shared a pepperoni with hot honey and a Don. Both were so good. I highly recommend checking them out.

I’ve been to multiple Grimaldi’s locations and this is the home base location for us. I never have a bad experience when I come here. The pizza in my opinion is the best in the country. I love pizza and this pizza is the best. The Don and their extra pepperoni pizza with the white sauce and hot honey… mouth watering. If you think it’s too big of a pizza I promise, it’s not. lol once you start eating, you’ll finish it because It’s always that good. Perfect family and friend place to have a great bite with great service and the comforting Italian pizzeria atmosphere all around you. The best of the best, come here! Oh! And try the Caesar salad too, WOW! And always get something to go, you won’t be upset about it.

Great pizza and appetizers. Came here late on a Thursday (8:15pm maybe) and didn't realize that they closed at 9PM. Quickly ordered drinks and food and had a delicious meal. Our server let us know that he was going to begin his closing procedure after we crossed 9PM and made us aware of where he would be if we needed anything after paying. I appreciated the staff being patient with us. The charcuterie board we ordered had a great spread. The salad we split for two was pretty large and almost made us too full for pizza. We got The Don and thought it was fantastic. Meatballs on pizza was a first for me but I dig it.

NY style delicious coal fired pizza. We had the large Margherita pizza (18" 8 slices) and large Mediterranean salad (enough for our party of 4). Slices were super thin and crispy. There was plenty of seating inside and outside. Service was fast and friendly -- we got our food pretty quickly even though the place was packed. They had a bar with sports playing and all the walls were covered with NY themed signage and local sports items. It's located in the center of the action in old town. Parking on the side streets wasn't too bad.

Ehh i thought it was ok, don't really get all the amazing reviews. It's in a good location on a corner in Old Town and the front is really nice .which got us to stop in. I wasn't initially aware they only had pizza and thought they other Italian dishes. If you're only gonna have pizza I would expect it a high quality. Service was professional and the outdoor seating and Sinatra music in the background provided nice ambiance.

LOVE their gluten free pizza!!! I was truly blown away how good it was. We got the Brooklyn Bridge on GF crust and Pesto with chicken on GF crust. Both were outstanding. Service was great- our server was super knowledgeable about cross contamination and their GF options. Will absolutely be returning, our new go to GF pizza place!!

Service was very friendly but a little slow. We ordered drinks and then sat did another 15-20 mins before we ordered food. We weren't in a rush so it was ok for us. Food was good as usual from Grimaldi's, and antipasto was tasty. Very chill environment, decorations are like you're in a NYC pizzeria.

Margherita pizza with pepperoni, outstanding! Glass of white sangria, refreshing, after being seated at a patio table. Service was fantastic. Put on the wait list after being told 25-30 min wait. Table ended up being ready in 5. Amazing server as well as male host. Ambiance was relaxing, although all of the patio tables were full, the only loud noise was traffic. Still, a pretty night to have dinner outside. And Grimaldis did not disappoint!

While vacationing in Scottsdale we stopped into Grimaldi's for a late night "pie". We were sat immediately in their lounge area which is a good size and had multiple tv's on with sporting events. My girlfriend and I ended up sharing a salad and a gluten-free pizza. Both portion sizes were perfect. Restaurant was very clean and had a great New York vibe. Our only negative was the server didn't check up on us until it was time for the bill. Overall it was a pretty good experience, will most likely be back.

I finally tried this location, much larger than I thought it would be. My only complaint was that it kind of smelled, there were a tray of dirty dishes close by just sitting in a bin so it could've been that. But I tried a pizza that was half pepperoni and anchovy and the other half pepperoni and sausage. You could tell they were all very good ingredients and I loved the crust, not thick and not too thin. I ordered a side of hot honey that was so good too!

The location and atmosphere of this restaurant is spot on. Really cool place. The service was top notch. Respectful and pretty fast too. Some of the best pizza I've ever laid my hands on! I got "The Don." It had pepperoni, sausage, and meatballs! Delicious. It was also really good reheated the next day. Great place.

Grimaldi's is a chain. It's known for coal fired brick oven pizza, made fresh. They won awards consecutive year since 2015 in The American Academy of Hospitality Sciences. We got the Extra Pepperoni + hot honey pizza, as well as build our own with pesto sauce, chicken, mushrooms and onion. Added a Caesar salad. The salad was delicious. They make their own oven baked croutons, fresh Parmesan and the Romaine lettuce were evenly chopped, all the same size. Brett was our server and he was wonderful. We loved his enthusiasm and attention to detail. We took all his recommendations.

My goodness! This place is amazing! The pizza was so delicious, crispy, fresh, and flavorful! I love the food, the feel, the service and of course location. It's in the heart of Scottsdale, it's a great spot to enjoy some time with your friends or your family. I love the Italian theme. It's the perfect summer spot! Definitely a must visit!

Super cozy and relaxed atmosphere inside a brick building! Always smells amazing upon arrival with the smell of the brick oven working away. My boyfriend and I went here on a date and ordered a custom pizza as well as the classic Cesar salad. One of the most amazing pizzas we have ordered. Followed by a cannoli for dessert. We will be coming back here again! Service was great and pizza was cooked at the most reasonable time! Lovely restaurant!

After 3 hours at the Desert Botanical Garden we were tired n thirsty, my husband wanted to go to PFChang but I insisted on going to Grimaldi pizzeria, I was curious what a charcoal fired brick oven pizza would taste like, I'm a pizza aficionado having been in Italy so many times n had the best in Naples. In Italy it was always wood fired pizza oven so I have no idea what charcoal brick oven might be like. We walked in by the kitchen n smelled nothing which surprised me already, the restaurant was almost empty but there seemed to be a lot of take out orders. I was upset there was no Coke, I hated Pepsi, my idea is a pizza has to go w a Coke, luckily their margarita was very good, it's almost good everywhere in Scottsdale bc it's made w some cactus pear juice n priced right at $12. The 16 inches pizza was really overpriced $30 bc it was very thin and the brick oven was overhyped as it was not tasting any different from a normal oven. I originally requested the Don pizza $25 but to substitute the sausage w mushrooms, the server said it was not possible, why not? But whatever, he said he could order it separately, I didn't get it where was the difference, the pizza came not only thin but the mushroom was missing n to make matter worse we were charged extra for 1topping less that is why I took away 1 star. Unlike in Italy or even on the ship, a real pizzeria had a cook throwing the dough in the air after pounding it, it was a show, fun to watch, apparently this was premade somewhere and that was why there was not much flavor. The inside could be cooked a little longer, I asked the server if he could cook it a few minutes more, he said no, wow this dude sure loved to say no, the last time I asked in a restaurant in Huntington Beach they gave me another one piping hot, it was a good idea to say yes or what you get is a 2 stars. Needless to say I was very disappointed n stay up to write this review, I'm sorry but I'd rather have a PizzaHut, people who rated this 4 stars have not been in Italy or New York City.

The best pizza in all of AZ!! I have been coming to Grimaldis since I was a little kid. My favorite location is the DC Ranch location, but this location is closest to me. We always get the either the Don or the Brooklyn bridge. And I asked for a side of hot honey to try on it and it was delicious. A must try is the Caesar salad - everyone always loves it! We recently did it as uber eats - and I will say the salad was disappointing, but I know ITS AMAZING when you have it dine in, so wouldn't recommend for take out.

Pizza has barely any sauce and hardly any cheese. In the picture you can see where the dabs of cheese were placed. The pepperoni is good. The dough was just okay -- and the crust was burnt. I paid $30 for a pizza that was light weight and skimpy. I had expected something substantial for $30. I let the manager know I didn't really like it, but he didn't seem to care. The service was ok, although never came to ask if I wanted more to drink or if everything was ok. I did have to flag him down to get the check and a box. I did take it home, but tossed it as the crust got tough. It was also noisy. I have no desire to go back. If you're curious try their lunch special first. Also, they don't cook pizzas from 3 pm to 4 pm.

Our group of 5 came in on a Friday late afternoon for a late lunch. The restaurant was beautifully decorated with dark wood and red/white checkered tablecloths. I noticed they have 10 plaques (for each year) that won the Star Diamond Award. We all shared food and gave each other a taste. However, I can say my order was the best! I ordered a limoncello spritzer with ginger beer. I also ordered the lemon arugula salad and the prosciutto and arugula cauliflower pizza. Everything was amazing! The service was wonderful. I am such a fan and will be back when in the area again!

We were visiting family. We thought we'd tried Grimaldi. We are so glad we stopped. Pizza was delicious & crust was crispy. Salad was awesome. The service was quick & fast.

Ordered Grimaldi's to go for lunch and it absolutely hit the spot. Got a classic pepperoni pizza and added some hot honey on top, perfect mix of salty, spicy, and sweet. The crust had that nice balance of crisp and chew, and the pepperoni had a good flavor. Also tried the calzone, which was loaded with cheese and stayed gooey even after delivery. Everything felt like high quality, straightforward pizza done right. Would definitely order again.

I tried this place to see how it ranked against the likes of Trevor's and Pizzeria Bianco. A notch down from those places. Not a bad pizza. Just not a great one. Seated promptly - early lunch to prevent the rush. Downloaded app to get a free starter. Then the margherita was ordered and it was ok. Sauce was ok (at least it was not sweet like spinato's which I do not like for the reason of the sauce). I don't think I would be coming back but it was worth the try. You should, too, to see if it's your cup of tea. Or rather slice of pizza.

Fron cook tail drinks to salad and pizza is really good!. Our server is great, he's attention to details and food we're delivered fast!. The ambiance is so cozy perfect for all date nights or just girls time!.

Loved this experience! Not only is the place so stinking cute but the staff was super friendly! Especially our server Blaise. I was worried that we wouldn't find a place opened late with us having drove into town but luckily we found this gem! Food was great and would definitely come back again!

Grimaldi's still lives up to its name, even with take out orders! They come out fresh and hot with no mistakes on the order. The calzones are fantastic and the large size can feed a 2-3 people easily.

Service was excellent by David - Pizza was crispy and fresh , sauce and cheese top notch. Salads were fresh and crunchy - just perfect! Try Mikes extra hot honey - with the pizza its a unique treat. We sat outside and enjoyed every bite! We would most definitely be back. (Friday late lunch visit)

I ordered and devoured the MOST AMAZING GF, DF pizza unimaginable! My food sensitivities have me craving the foods i can't have. Now...Grimaldis is making delicious pizza for all tummy-types! Thank you!!! *Cauliflower pizza, traditional red sauce, pepperoni, Itln sausage, green bel peppers, mushroom Socorro

It was my first time at Grimaldi's, and I absolutely loved the pizza--light, thin, and perfectly crispy. Even with a wait of over 30 minutes, it was well worth it. The service was great, the Caesar salad was fresh and tasty, and while the wine selection was just okay, the overall experience definitely made up for it. I'll be coming back and recommending it to others!

Just wanted to follow up as the first time I had Grimaldi's pizza it was carry out. For whatever reason, dining in made all the difference. I really thought the pizza was exceptional if you are looking for a thin crust. We were there late afternoon, so the restaurant was not busy and the service was excellent. I enjoyed looking at all the New York memorabilia on the walls. Thanks for a great meal!

Great local pizzeria. While it is a chain, they have good authentic pizzas that are much better than your average neighborhood. Pizza parlor. They offer several different authentic Italian dishes. This location has an open kitchen where you can see the cooks making your food. The restaurant has a good ambience a nice size bar on the inside if you wanted to just stop by and grab a drink, the service was good , I would choose this place again for a good solid family style dining experience.

Brandon was our server and took such good care of us despite the busy atmosphere. As a server myself I was very impressed and appreciative. The young host, Jaylen, helped me clean up the water I accidentally spilled and could not have been nicer. Amazing service.

Great service, good pies. We had the Quattro Formaggi (mozzarella, asiago, parmesan, pecorino romano & gorgonzola cheese) added basil, garlic, and ricotta which came out to $30 for a 12" so a bit pricey for the size. Street parking available.

Beautiful place it definitely reminds of New York oven pizza , I have moved to Arizona from New York and tried many different pizza spots but none of them remind me of back home except Grimaldi's thank you for the service and the great food.

This is my favorite Grimaldi's location. It is in the heart of downtown Scottsdale next to Old Town and the art galleries. I've been dining at Grimaldi's Pizzeria for quite some time. These guys have been making coal-fired brick oven pizza since 1990. The last time I was in Brooklyn, I saw their original location in Dumbo under the Brooklyn Bridge. I love dining at places with a long history and Grimaldi's has been using pizza-making traditions that go back 100 years. I pretty much come here and get the same thing almost every time. A salad, pizza, wine, and a cheesecake. The salads here are pretty good. The coal-burning oven gives the pizza a nice crisp crust with a little added flavor. But my favorite thing about Grimaldi's is the family-style setting with the open kitchen and the sounds of Sinatra playing in the background. Grimaldi's Pizzeria always makes for a nice evening out. Sign up for their rewards program to get a free pizza on your birthday.

I really like Grimaldi's. This is probably my third time here. It's a cute place with indoor and outdoor seating. We enjoyed our "Don" pizza with the meats. And our bruschetta was fabulous.

Had the bbq pizza and we loved it!! If you like thin crust pizza that's crispy this is the pizza for you. We came in from California and sad that we won't be back for a while. Highly recommend.

Hands down the best pizza in Arizona. Grimaldi's nails that classic New York style--thin, crisp crust with the perfect balance of sauce and cheese. We've been coming here for years, and it's always consistently good. The coal-fired oven gives everything that great char and flavor. Service is quick and friendly and the location and atmosphere is great.

Honestly it was wonderful tonight. Perfect pizza. We loved it. Toppings were margarita pizza with extra sauce , extra cheese , mushrooms , pepperoni , tomatoes & pesto sauce. Wonderful !! Grubhub delivery. Yes it needed to be reheated.

First time visiting this location in Old Town Scottsdale! Sitting is a little limited inside but there is beautiful seating outside for days where it is not too cold. This place is 4 stars because the servers are friendly and the ambiance of the restaurant is really nice. I had very little pizza but my partner absolutely loved the pizza. My antipasto was decent but I felt like it was missing something to make it into a delicious appetizer! Like a yummy vinaigrette or dip of some kind. I comes with olive oil and balsamic vinegar but this was lacking a little in flavor. There are a couple of pizzas to pick from but for the most part you pick a pizza base (multiple options including traditional red sauce, white garlic sauce and pesto) and then customize your toppings. Every ingredient is an additional cost. Other random facts you may or may not be interested in knowing: They do have ranch (I know for some this is a deal breaker pizza wise and it's not common at this style of pizza place). They do not serve pasta or hot wings putting this for the folks like me that didn't realize they were walking into a NY style pizza place and are craving pizza and wings !

Excellent food and service my food was fresh and promptly serviced loved the pizza will be back

We're new to Scottsdale and we're craving pizza for lunch. We hit the jackpot with this find. The pizza, service, and wine were great. We didn't have to wait to be seated--and our server expertly answered our questions about the menu. We can see why they're a multi-award winning restaurant. We'll be back!

Grimaldi's is a must stop when in Scottsdale. It's a true pizzeria with an upscale twist. Service is always great, and they are quick to accommodate for a date night or a large group. The pizza is fantastic. I love to order extra sauce on my pizza. The crust is soft in the center but perfect crisp to the outside. The toppings are always flavorful. The cheese is excellent quality. Overall, this is a fantastic pizza pie. The salads are also amazing. The wine selection is outstanding, and I can't wait to go back.

Grimaldi's is one of favorite pizza places in Old town. They have a huge menu that consists of pizzas and calzones. They have a wide variety of toppings and some really great signature pizzas. Personally I really like the Don and pretty much get it every time I go there. You're also able to split pizzas in half and try multiple signature pizzas at once. And the best part is that when you order them through DoorDash, the pizza comes to you still fresh. The staff are super friendly and are very helpful when it comes to helping you decide which pizza to get and the restaurant itself has a great vibe. This location is right in the heart of old town so if you're wanting a slice, definitely stop by here.

I'm going to be generous on four stars even tho it's really a 2-3 star experience max in terms of customer service, but the pizza makes up for it . Being from NY and a frequent of Grimaldis in NYC the pizza in Scottsdale is 85-90% of how good it is in NY, still a great pizza This is where the issues come into play The hostesses are truly the worst, the ABSOLUTE WORST! Don't pick up the phones, give you an attitude ... tell us there's a wait but no wait for outside, okay. We specify the table we want given it's a bit chilly outside it hasn't been cleared and cleaned but it's near the heater, in any normal world okay right? They will clean it right away? No.... They are sitting there back and forth saying "but it's not clean" then the other with a dead face says "okay but the table isn't clean" people standing around are looking at us like uhhh okay? CLEAN THE DAMN TABLE... but no neither of them bother to get someone to do it or they didn't want to do it themselves. I had to literally say OKAY FINE ILL CLEAN IT and got a face... I dont play these games And then last night we got our pizzas prior to receiving the salads that we specified we wanted first If the pizza weren't great I'd never return here, but I'm here a second day in a row because it's like home To the owners or manager, get your team together or get rid of the loose ends that make your restaurant look horrible PS Brandon at the bar tonight was a gentleman, amazing service tonight from him ordering at the bar after the girls wouldn't clean the outside table

This location is conveniently located on Scottsdale Road and has plenty of parking in its surrounding area. We stopped by for some late lunch on Saturday and it wasn't too busy. We walked in and the host was very friendly. He quickly greeted us and sat us down. Our server came over as soon as we were seated and she introduced herself to us. She also brought us some cold water. We were a party of three so we opted to share the 14in traditional pepperoni pizza and the caprese salad. The caprese salad came out quickly and it was really good. If you are looking for a refreshing and yummy appetizer, get the caprese. The pizza was great! It had a nice crisp to it and was loaded with pepperoni. The slices are pretty big and there was enough for two slices each. Our total with tip came out to be $55. Service was great and our waitress was very attentive. Both employees we interacted with were friendly and approachable. I love Grimaldi's but I had never been to this location. I am now looking forward to coming back when its nice and cool out to enjoy their patio!

I've always had a good time at Grimaldi's. I don't go out for pizza often (I'd rather do take out), but when I do, it's often to go to Grimaldi's. We had a waitress once suggest to us the "Christmas pizza." I don't know if it is actually known as this so I don't order it with that title, but ever since we got it that one time, I've been getting it since! It's pizza with red sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and pesto- so good! Their Caesar salad is also a hit. The interior has very cute NY subway and like classic Italian vibes.

The restaurant was really cute. Had an old school Italian restaurant vibe. Pizza was fantastic. We did half hot honey pepperoni and half The Dom. Both were great. We also had a Mediterranean salad that was really good. Service was excellent.

Huge dining space right in the middle of Old Town. The inside is decorated with tons of NYC decor and signs. We went for an early lunch and got pizza and salad. The Caesar was fresh & a nice size portion. The pizza was pretty good too! We went early, so it wasn't very busy so the service was good too.

There are days when I crave Grimaldi's pizza! on the go today! I actually did experiment with hot honey on it when I got home .... I love their double pepperoni, hot honey pizzas as well!

Went for a walk in old town with the family. Decided to have lunch @Grimaldis. My daughter has been here and said it was good so we stopped in to have some pizza and family time. What's better than having family time with a slice of hot goodness pizza. Pizza and family go hand in hand. We ordered The Don and Margherita pizzas. Forgot to take a picture of the Margherita pizza but it was real good but the star of pizza was the Don. 5 stars all day Our server was great, forgot his name but he did great. It was a niceday to eat outside. Not to crowded like some of these places get around here. All in all I would definitely bring my family to have some pizza here.

Really good pizza! If you are looking for a crust alternative, the cauliflower crust here is genuinely good. Thin and crispy. Also, they make what is possibly the best restaurant ice tea ever. Fresh brewed black tea with filtered water. Super friendly staff.

Sat down and ordered a drink and some water while my boyfriend was still looking over the menu. Server said he would be right back with the water and drink. 15 min later we saw no one so we just got up and left. The hostess was watching us the whole time. There was was 3-4 tables that also needed cleaning and from the looks of th leftover pizza it was sitting there for a long time which is telling. Horrible horrible service. Don't recommend this place at all
