Menu




New York style pizza is characterized by its large, wide, cirspy yet foldable pie shape. As recommended by various media outlets, one of the most well-known New York-style pizzerias is located in Brooklyn, just under the iconic Brooklyn bridge. On a windy, and rather cold day, John (@J1kim), Rob (@Rawbzz), and I ventured out to the most populous burrow of New York to try Brooklyn's very own Grimaldi's Pizzeria (@Grimaldispizza)

Seating

The first thing you'll notice when you come inside is just how space efficient it is.every corner of space is well used to ensure maximum seating capacity. That being said, it can be quite the nightmare for claustrophobic patrons.

keeping track of all the orders and bills

The menu here is quite simplistic, so the three of us had no problems deciding exactly what to have. We quickly put in our pizza order, and then watch from afar as the one wooden brick oven churns out the hand-tossed pizzas one by one.

The pizza comes piping hot from the oven, straight to our table. We marveled at just how large this pie was, before digging right in. We were starved from the line up!

What I loved about this pizza is how well everything worked together. The pizza crust was nice and crispy on the edges, but malleable near the center where the heapings of sauce and cheese were crasddled.

The Aftermath

The pizza was just enough to feed three hungry mouths; we ate every single bit and were left feeling happy and full. I think Grimaldi's definitely lived up to all the hype, if you don't mind the line up, and the cramp seating that is!
