Our Story
Grimaldi’s family business began with the opening of our first location under the Brooklyn Bridge in the borough’s DUMBO neighborhood.
Grimaldi’s Pizzeria serves traditional coal-fired brick oven pizza using pizza-making traditions originating in Brooklyn over 100 years ago. Using only the freshest ingredients, and our ‘secret recipe’ dough that’s hand-tossed and made in house daily, our pizzas are prepared in our signature Coal-Fired Brick Ovens, which helps us deliver an authentic taste that’s not found in conventional oven pizza. We are a family-friendly, casual yet upscale, New York-themed restaurant. It is our passion for pizza that has made us a “must eat” for pizza lovers everywhere!
Coal-Fired Brick Oven Pizzeria
Our coal-fired brick oven is a true artisanal gem, setting us apart in the world of pizza. This classic oven is hand-built, with an interior lined with bricks that retain and radiate heat evenly. The use of clean-burning coal as the heat source is crucial to our exceptional pizzas.
This traditional method of baking at extremely high temperatures gives their pizzas a crispy, thin crust and a perfectly charred finish. It’s the secret behind their mouthwatering, old-world taste. If you’re looking for a classic and delicious pizza experience, Grimaldi’s coal-fired brick oven pizzeria is the place to be.
