I had hoped this would be the best pizza I had in Phoenix and wow me. It didn't. I ordered an 18", peppers, mushroomd, ricotta, and hot honey. It came out to $36. A heafty price for a pizza. Brick oven cosl fired pizza should be slightly chard especially when I asked it to be. I couldn't eat the crust it was chewie and unpleasant. Bertuccis would have been better. I'll stick to New Haven pizza for authentic coal/wood fired pizza the way I like. It had nothing on Frank Pepe I'm afraid.
Wood fired brick oven pizza that is worth the wait! Great staff and excellent flavors the place is pretty much putting out only pizza, simple menu and clean. Salad and garlic n knots came out almost immediately and set us up for a fabulous pizza pie experience. You can see the pizza line and brick oven from the dining area and after your first visit this will be a top pick for fine pizza. They have this Exxxtra Pepperoni+ Hot Honey pizza that is to die for. We had no problem waiting an hour on a busy weekend for a table, bar seating was fun and the time flew by as we waited for a table.
As a native New Yorker, this is the obvious go-to pizzeria in AZ. The chain is now wholly separate from the original restaurant in Brooklyn, but I'd eaten at the original restaurant before the chain even existed and it tastes pretty much the same to me. Obviously they've changed some things with the menu to make it a little friendlier to a broader market, but from what I can tell it's mostly additions, not subtractions. Also, the decor is one of those things where you can tell the restaurant's going out of its way to scream "hey, we're from New York!" at the top of its lungs, but I can excuse that if the food is actually authentic. This is real NY style pizza. There are other pizzerias in NYC that I like better, but I would never argue that this isn't the real thing. It is *not* the stuff you get on street corners there that many visitors consider "New York style" these days. You know, the chewy, floppy dough completely slathered in a greasy, orange, cheese-like substance. That is *not* real New York style pizza and this isn't that. This is the real Neapolitan-inspired (but not quite Neapolitan) thing first brought over to New York by Italian immigrants and still made by the same families as those original pizzerias today. Patsy Grimaldi was part of that history. Coal-fired at high temperature, quality dough, simple tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella and herbs. The high heat and coal fuel make for a fast cooking pizza that comes out crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with a slight smokiness that honestly probably comes more from the residue and smoke in the oven than the actual heat source, but nonetheless does add flavor. But only coal or wood can get the high temps to make the best pizza. That lets the pizza cook fast, which means a different dough than a gas fired pizza that has to be tougher and denser to stand up to longer cooking times. Grimaldi's uses coal. Grimaldi's also has the best meatballs in the area, which is one of the more popular toppings in the Northeast but that you used to not even be able to find outside of the NY/NJ area. Nowadays there are other pizzerias that do have meatball pizza but they just usually taste like store-bought meatballs. Grimaldi's meatballs at least taste like homemade meatballs, although I can't say whether they actually are or not. It's the taste that matters, though. I've been to this location and one other in the area, though this is closer to me so I go most often. I don't remember them being that much different or one being better than the other in any real way. The maybe odd thing about this one is that it can be either jam packed or completely dead and there's no obvious way to tell ahead of time; I think it depends on what's going on in SanTan Village as a whole. Last time we went, we were the only people in the entire restaurant. Today, we had to wait 20 minutes for a table. Both at late lunchtime (around 1:15PM). If it's busy, it can be a while to get your pizza, so I recommend ordering a salad or garlic knots in the meantime, as they will come out quickly.
Being a 60 y/o pizza lover, I was thrilled to find Grimaldi’s. Great pizza, close to home. Until last night happened. The manager was so disgustingly rude, I may have to look for pizza elsewhere. I was just going to let this go, and chalk it off to ‘Things happen’, but no manager should ever treat a customer like this: Here’s what happened: Through being a member of the ‘Arizona Pizza Lovers’ group, I found Grimaldi’s. So I downloaded their app, and was rewarded with a free appetizer, for joining. Visit #1 - Ready to try Grimaldi’s for the very first time, I showed the reward to the waitress and asked if I could use the reward for their ‘meat and cheese bread board’. She checked with someone and said yes. It was delicious. Our pizza however was taking a long time. We noticed the waitress and some other guy looking at us and talking, then he came and told us that they accidentally gave our pizza to another table, and would start a new one right away. Hey things happen. The pizza was fantastic. Visit #2 - Since the food was so good here we knew we’d be regulars here for life. So my better half downloaded the app too. We do that all the time for restaurants that we like, because many places offer rewards for points, and things like Birthdays, etc. And hey, who doesn’t love the occasional freebie, or discount? I’m not too proud, lol. So again, we showed the reward for a free appetizer to the waitress, and again, she went to check. She returned with the ‘meat and cheese bread board’. And we ordered a large ‘Don’ pizza. Another great pizza dinner. However, when the check came, we had been charged 19.00 for the board. I asked her, and she said that she was told that the board was not an option for the reward. I asked her why she didn’t let us know after she had gone to check. She didn’t seem to care much, so I asked for the manager. Now here is where things went bad. He arrived at the table seeming to already have a bad attitude. He showed me on the tablet thing that that item was not acceptable for that reward. I said, “okay, I see that, but I would just like to say 2 things about that.” I told him how we had come here for the first time a couple weeks ago, and used the reward for that item, and he flew off the handle. “So you did it a couple weeks ago, and then decided to downloaded another app, and come and try it again.” Like as if this was our thing, going around and scamming restaurants out of rewards. And he was serious about it. And he kept talking and talking. I finally had to stop him and I said, “I told you a minute ago that I had 2 things I wanted to say about this, and you only let me say 1. May I speak for just a moment? Like I was trying to say, if that item is not available for the reward, fine, we would have gotten a different item for the reward. But like I was trying to say, the last time we were here the waitress did it. And the 2nd thing I want to say is this: I asked this waitress today, and she said, “Let me go check”. Then when she returned, she sat the board on the table. Naturally we assumed that everything was okay, since she didn’t say otherwise.” The manager then said, “I can’t take it off the bill, so let me go and call ‘Headquarters’ and see what can be done.” Then he returned with a new bill, with $10 taken off. When I told him that he just lost 2 customers, he said OK, and walked away. He really couldn’t have cared less. Now I just want to say, this isn’t about the money. Good pizza, and a good pizza place is well worth the money. This is about how we were treated. I really thought I’d found my new ‘go to’ pizza place. BTW this happened on 9/21/25. 5:15 PM. Check # 137. Server A K (I wish I had gotten the managers name) At 2168 E. Williams Field Rd, Ste 102
Sometimes the pizza is amazing but recently it has not been good. Our last three visits we have had burnt pizza. I think this comes from the oven not being clean, it looks like burnt flour. The garlic knots are good. The pizza sauce is delicious and it’s a shame when the pizza is burnt because the taste of the char overpowers the flavor of the pizza
