Grimaldi's




I had heard alot about Grimaldi's in Brooklyn and knew I had to try it. So I convinced T to schlep into Brooklyn with me and stand on line for 1/2 hour behind dozens of tourists one Saturday morning.

Inside was definitely "no frills". Customers were squeezed into long rows of red checkered tables. We chatted with the parties on either side of us because we were thisclose them and there was no way anyone was having a private conversation.

Now pizza is a sensitive subject to most foodies. Heck, to most New Yorkers! I'm not saying it wasn't good, but we were a little disappointed with the pizza. The crust was not very crisp. The reason may have been that Grimaldi's seated about 75 people all at once and they were pumping out pies as fast as they could. The pizza was steaming hot so condensation may have softened our crust because we waited at least 5 minutes before we started to eat. We didn't want to suffer from "pizza mouth" and burn ourselves.
