  Grimaldi's under the Brooklyn Bridge is where the New York pizza argument starts and ends for me. Coal-fired oven thin crust that has that perfect char and chew fresh mozzarella that stretches and pulls exactly right and a tomato sauce that is bright and balanced without overpowering the cheese. This is not fancy pizza. This is not artisan pizza with truffle oil and microgreens. This is New York pizza done the way it was meant to be done and it is perfect. The line out the door is legendary and yes you will wait but the wait is part of the experience. Standing on the cobblestones of DUMBO looking up at the Brooklyn Bridge while you wait for one of the best pies in the city that is a New York moment. Cash only no slices whole pies only. You commit to the experience and the experience rewards you. The dining room is simple and packed and the energy is fantastic families tourists locals who have been coming here for decades all sitting elbow to elbow enjoying the same thing. I have eaten pizza in Naples Rome Chicago and everywhere in between. Grimaldi's holds its own against all of them. The simplicity is the genius. Great dough great sauce great cheese great oven. Do four things perfectly and you do not need a fifth. That is Grimaldi's and that is New York.

  We needed to recharge after a three hours walking tour in Brooklyn. As we entered, the inviting warmth of the restaurant. You can't beat the location or the flavor at Grimaldi's Pizzeria under the Brooklyn Bridge. We ordered the 18" split, with additional cost, featuring the signature BROOKLYN BRIDGE (ricotta, sausage, peppers--perfection!) and the beautifully simple MARGHERITA. The split was recommended by the server as we couldn't decide one toppings. The staff was wonderful! It was outstanding! Truly one of the best food experiences we had visiting New York!

  Came here after waiting outside to enter another well known pizza joint nearby. At first I was a little concerned that Grimaldis would be a tourist trap at the expense of the food quality but I needn’t have worried. My 16 inch margarita pizza with mushrooms (kept it simple) came out steaming, with a crispy base and fresh tomato source. Can’t say like other reviewers whether it was the best pizza I’ve ever tasted, but it really was delicious. Servers were courteous and atmosphere nice.

  Grimaldi’s serves traditional coal-fired brick oven pizza. This is the most famous Grimaldi’s location, right next door to its original location. I tried the Brooklyn Bridge, which comes with roasted red peppers, creamy ricotta, Italian sausage, mozzarella, and a tomato sauce base, and The Don, topped with Italian sausage, meatballs, pepperoni, mozzarella, and tomato sauce. The ricotta on the Brooklyn Bridge wasn’t really my thing, but The Don was delicious. I also had their red sangria, which was very refreshing, and finished off with the Oreo cheesecake for dessert. Highly recommend! They offer three pizza sizes: 12”, 16”, and 18”. We ordered two 18-inch pizzas to share between four people. Even though my friends were pretty hungry, we still ended up with leftovers. In hindsight, two 16-inch pizzas would’ve been the perfect amount. We went on a Saturday around 3 p.m. and waited about 30 minutes outside before being seated, so definitely expect a line if you visit on the weekend.

  Great food, long wait. We got there early (about 11:15am on a Monday) and waited 10 minutes to be seated. However, we waited over an hour for our single pizza. Once we got it, the Chef special "The Don" was delicious!!! We also tried the cannoli--with the powdered sugar, it was very sweet! Cost was incredibly reasonable...one of our cheapest restaurants, including fast food. As we left around 12:45pm, the line extended about a half a block out the door.

  Grimaldi's sits right under the Brooklyn Bridge in DUMBO, which already puts it in one of the better spots in New York before you even talk about the food. The red-and-white gingham tablecloths, wine bottle chandeliers, black-and-white

  We ordered a Margherita pizza and a mixed pizza, and both were delicious. The food was excellent, and the restaurant itself had a nice atmosphere. The only reason I’m giving it four stars is that our order took a long time to arrive.

  I love the food at Grimaldis. I visit NYC twice a year, and Grimaldi's is on the top of the list of places to go eat. I took some friends over and the loved the food. The pizza is loaded with toppings and so cheesy, their Greek salad with

  We went on a Tuesday evening and got in about 5:15p with no wait on the third floor. Great vibe up there. We started with the bruschetta trio and it was pretty good. Definitely not the best bruschetta I’ve ever had but still pretty solid.

  One of the most iconic pizzeria in Brooklyn, New York, if you’re visiting in Dumbo, this is one of the places you should visit, we came here on Sunday fourth of July weekend, which was not very busy, we had to wait only 15 minutes for a table, which is very little. I have been there before and awaiting time was sometimes close to hour.. The Peter came fresh and delicious and Service was good.Read more

  Unfortunately, the pizza is really not good. Very salty, poor quality food. If you ask for extra prosciutto, they will cook it. The tomato sauce is very salty without really tasting like tomato, dry dough, absolutely not crispy or fluffy. The only positive point: the friendly waitress. But I do not recommend this place at all. Juliana’s, right next door, is very, very good! UnmatchedRead more

  My recent visit to Brooklyn was the first time to the Borough. Being from the Chicago area, i'm a pizza enthusiast, and i've always heard New York pizza is the "best". So, on this trip, i wanted to try it for the fist time. Grimaldi's was recommended to me, plus it was close to where we were staying. The location is great....close to the waterfront, Brooklyn Bridge and the ferry terminal. The restaurant interior is old school and really cool looking, and the bathroom was very clean. Our server was really good, too. Since my wife doesn't eat 'dirty meat' (ie-- anything with pork in it like pepperoni or sausage), we ordered our usual margharita pizza and a Cesar's salad. The salad was pretty good, but the pizza......well, i have to say, i've had better. That's in no way to say it was bad, it was still fairly good, but i've had better margharita pies in places like St. Joseph, Michigan and Maui, not just Chicago. I get it that a margharita isn't a true representative of "New York" pizza, or "Chicago" pizza, for that matter, but nevertheless....... In conclusion, that all said, in the future, i'll have to go to a New York pizza joint on my own, and order a slice of pepperoni and make a true comparison... But in the meantime, i'm not impressed...."Chicago" pizza is better.Read more

  Cool place, well served and easy to access in the area of the Dumbo. Good pizza and good wines. Good service and reasonable prices. Arrive early or make a reservation, otherwise waiting in queue will be inevitable.Read more
