About Grimaldi's Pizzeria:
In the world of pizza, Grimaldi's is an institution that has garnered more awards than any other pizzeria in the country with more celebrity sightings than most five-star restaurants. Using only the freshest ingredients, a "secret recipe" pizza sauce, handmade mozzarella cheese and dough, Grimaldi's serves traditional pizza (as it began in Naples, Italy) in an upscale yet casual, family-oriented pizzeria.
Guests are welcomed by Frank Sinatra crooning in the background, more than 100-years of coal brick-oven pizza making traditions, and the tantalizing aroma of pizza and calzones baked to perfection in the signature coal-burning ovens.
Designed and built by hand, the coal-fired ovens at Grimaldi's Pizzeria deliver a unique flavor and consistency that is just not possible from wood or gas ovens. Weighing in at 25 tons each and heated by 100 pounds of coal per day (cleanest burning fuel available and environmentally tested), the oven heats up to 1,200 degrees. The intense heat of the oven evenly bakes the pies to create Grimaldi's famous crispy and smoky thin crust that Zagat has voted best pizza year after year.
It has been said that the secret to true New York-style pizza is the water. Grimaldi's believes that too, going to great lengths to keep the integrity of the water used in the Brooklyn pizzeria by hiring a chemist to analyze and recreate the mineral content and exact composition of the water to ensure the dough tastes the same in California.
