Next to Lombardi's Pizza in New York, this comes in a close second to my favorite pizza ever. Not realizing this place was a favorite to many people, we just showed up hungry but had to wait a short 20 minutes to be seated. We just walked around and browsed at the art galleries in this very pleasant part of Scottsdale.

Upon returning we were immediately seated and our pizza arrived relatively quickly. It was wonderful: the sauce was just perfect, the crust crunchy and thin, with the exact amount of cheese on top... remarkable.

I was sad to leave Arizona as I knew I had to come back to Virginia to bad pizza! I'd honestly make a trip out there just for the pizza, but luckily I'm closer to NY and can make it to the Grimaldi's up there, which I understand has some relation to the pizza place in Scottsdale.

We went to Grimaldi's on a weekday around 4 p.m. Our party consisted of 4 adults and toddler twins. Upon opening the door, you are hit with the smell of pizza baking in a coal-fired oven. Our first impression was that the place was very child-friendly. The hostess offered to watch our stroller. When we were seated, the waitress showed up promptly and offered to bring some dough for the twins to play with. The restaurant only has Pepsi products--just an FYI for those of you who prefer Coke.

We started the meal with a large antipasto. The menu was the same as the Hoboken Grimaldi's--it's my understanding that the Brooklyn one only offers pizza on the menu. The antipasto was excellent! It consisted of very high quality fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, salami, green olives and black olives. We got two small pizzas--one plain cheese and the other with pepperoni and garlic. The pizza was just like what we had in Hoboken. Thin hand-tossed crust with the char found on pizzas that are baked in coal-fired ovens, bits of fresh basil, fresh mozzarella and the same delicious tomato sauce.

We all enjoyed eating at Grimaldi's. Not only for the pizza but for the friendly and prompt service. I highly recommend going here for a true taste of NYC pizza!

My husband and I grew up in New York and are always on the lookout for good pizza. Honestly, we'll even settle for decent pizza, which is about as good as it typically gets, at least outside of Brooklyn ;) So imagine our surprise, in Scottsdale AZ of all places, to walk into Patsy Grimaldi's and have the best thin-crust pizza we've had outside of Rome even! Mozzarella with the obvious texture of fresh, nice sauce (coulda used a little salt, but such a minor quibble), excellent house-roasted peppers. Great crust. Couldn't stop: ate the entire 16-inch pie, which only got better as it cooled. First-class, generous salad. And seriously, the best cannoli we have EVER had: a clear, clean ricotta flavor, rather than the all-too-typical sugar overload, and if they used mini chocolate chips (of excellent quality) rather than citron, well, few people seem to like citron much any more, so whatta ya gonna do? and the shell.... absolutely fantastic. My husband's response: "I can't believe I had to go all the way to Arizona to get a cannoli this good." Excellent service by Christina, in a lovely shaded interior courtyard. Go there; you'll be glad you did!

We visit Arizona every year. We always were hoping to find a great Pizza place in Arizona as it seemes to lack in this area and are pleased to report HERE IT IS!

This Pizza is authentic just like in New York. The Pizza is cooked in Coal ovens which give it the unique taste and texture. When we visit New York City there are only a select number of these Pizza places as the ovens are grandfathered.

If you are looking for a great Pizza, look no further. This is the only place.
