Went here for our pizza meal while in NY based on reputation and reviews. Waited about 20 minutes in a line outside. Seems like there is always a line. Got seated and promptly served. The menu is simple, pretty much pizza, calzone, antipasto. The place was packed and the seating is cramped. It is clearly an old building and it... more

Had some visitors over from the Uk who had heared about this place. First parking impossible to find, the line was long so we assumed must be worth it. Finally got in after a 90 minute wait. Walked in and the place had a musty smell, the floors,ceiling were filthy,plates and cutlery dirty but I guess people accept this. The... more

Great pizza at great prices. Any place people queue up for has got to be good and this is. Had aleady been to Lombardis in Little Italy which was good but a bit too commercial. Grimaldi's is far better and the service is good to. more

Nothing in the Bay Area (which is a great area for good food) can compare to Grimaldi's pizza in NY. It was crowded, but definitely worth the wait. We even saw Geoffrey Rush there! I haven't been able to find anything close to it. However, I will be going to Italy, so we'll see! more

On our first trip to NYC from the UK and read about this place. I work for a pizza chain so had to check it out after reading the reviews. 3:30pm on a Monday afternoon and a queue down the road outside when we arrived. It could put some people off but it also means they are doing something right... more

A unique place for its food, ambiance and location. While you're in the queue (can be one hour, though) you can enjoy the Manhattan skyline, 50mt ahead. They make superpizzas, which can be shared on the table among guests. more

On a recent trip to NYC, my sister and I made a stop at Grimaldi's after hearing so many great things about it. We were not disappointed! Yes, there was a wait, but we have found that the best places to eat often do - there is a reason so many people are there! The service was quick and efficient,... more

My husband and I decided to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and then back across to Manhattan. We had heard about Grimaldi's on the internet. We strolled across the bridge in midafternoon which was incredible. We missed the shortcut though and followed the bridge path though to the end, so we had to backtrack to get down to the river... more

I was all set to love this place, despite the long line. I came with my two friends from Naples Italy. However, after trying four of their pizzas, I was a bit disappointed and left wondering where all the hype had come from. First off, let me say the pizza makers were fabulous - really talented and capable of making... more

Having read all the reviews on Tripadvisor, we decided to try and dodge the queues by going for a late lunch on a weekday. We just about managed it, getting the last table available at 14:30! This pizzeria knows what it's good at and sticks to it with a menu that has pizza, pizza or pizza on it! Pizzas are... more
