In the world of pizza, Grimaldi's Pizzeria is an institution. Grimaldi's history of coal-fired brick oven cooking can be traced back to the first pizzeria in America back in 1905. Coal-fired brick oven cooking gives pizza a unique smoky flavor and a crisp crust that is just not possible with gas, convection or wood ovens.
Knowing coal-fired brick oven cooking is a dying art, Grimaldi's wants to ensure that future generations will be able to experience this distinctive and truly authentic pizza. It is the passion for pizza that made Grimaldi's Pizzeria a "must have" for pizza lovers and celebrities alike, including Frank Sinatra, and former NYC Major Giuliani.
Grimaldi's fresh ingredients, homemade mozzarella cheese "secret recipe" pizza sauce and dough have made Grimaldi's the most award winning pizzeria in the United States.
