Took my wife and our 6-year-old nephew here for pizza before an Austin FC game. The place was fairly empty but busy enough, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and provided great service. We ordered two small 12-inch pizzas, one beer, and two sodas. My pizza, The Don, was good and came out quickly. My wife and nephew split a custom pizza. My wife's half was okay, but my nephew's side was pretty subpar. They also put the basil on before cooking, so it came out completely burnt. Even my 6-year-old nephew looked at it and said, "This isn't basil!" Overall, the service was good, but the food didn't justify the price. Our bill was about $90 before tip for two small pizzas and three drinks. At that price point, I expected much better quality and larger portions. Unfortunately, based on the value, I wouldn't return. read more

Great pizza got the Quattro & The Don 18inch we had a lot of left overs for a party of 5. The Quattro was a bit salty. The pepperoni topping did not deliver but sauces on the pizzas were on point! read more

You know what? It does its job. If you can find a good special online, I think it's worth it. We got the 18" Don's Pizza ($36 woof) and a small Mediterranean salad ($13, but we got it free by signing up for texts). I'd come back for the pizza, not the salad. read more

A friend invited me to lunch at Grimaldi's Pizzeria at The Domain. It is in the core portion of the Northside on Domain Blvd. backing Culinary Dropout and Flower Child. Grimaldi's has the quintessential New York flare - red and white tablecloths, pictures of the statue of liberty and empire state buildings and ceiling tiles reminiscent of New York. The restaurant features the traditional New York-style pizza using a coal-fired brick-oven. We ordered the traditional pizza with Italian sausage. The pizza was crispy with an ever so slightly charred crust, and light sprinkled with cheese. Important to note, the pie is very thin, which we absolutely loved. Huberto aka Burt, our server, was very attentive and was kind to make suggestions for pizza selection. All in all, an extremely good experience. read more

Grimaldi's pizza is amazing! They have so many interesting and delicious variations and toppings; we got a rare opportunity to sample many of them! My running group took us there after one of our Monday night runs. Pizza was complimentary, courtesy of an In Kind partnership, and whole pizzas kept coming out...each looking more appetizing than the last and each tasting delicious! The first one I tried was to die for: Prosciutto, Parmesan shavings, mozzarella and hot honey. What a great topping combo! Some of the other delicious Chef's Selections included: MARGHERITA Tactional Pizza with Extra Famous Sauce and Fresh Basil. BROOKLYN BRIDGE Roasted Sweet Red Peppers, Creamy Ricotta Cheese and Hand-Pinched Italian Sausage atop the traditional pizza. QUATTRO FORMAGGI Mozarella, Asiago, Parmesan, Pecorino Romano & Gorgonzola Cheese. PROSCIUTTO ARUGULA Our Classic White Pizza Topped with Thinly Sliced Prosciutto, Shaved Cheese Blend and Fresh Arugula. BARBECUE CHICKEN Sweet Baby Ray's® Barbecue Sauce, Chicken, Bacon, Red Onion and Fresh Cilantro. TUSCAN VEGGIE White or Traditional Pizza, Roasted Red Peppers, Artichoke Hearts, Spinach, Garlic and Basil. THE IVY White Pizza with Garlic, Pesto, Mushroom, White Onion They even allow you to create your own pizza, and gluten-free cauliflower crust is available for small pizzas. Someone ordered a pizza with pesto and jalapeños. That was interesting and tasty! We also tried the Buffalo Chicken pizza: Fire-braised chicken breast, Sweet Baby Ray's® Hot Sauce, mozzarella, Gorgonzola crumbles and celery. The servers were incredibly friendly and helpful, making it a truly memorable experience. We sat outside, enjoying a warm evening and even warmer atmosphere. read more

Authentic NY pizza at its best! 10/10. The crust has a perfect coal-fired taste and the sauce-to-cheese ratio is exactly right,no soggy slices here. Make sure to save room for the Trio Dessert; the New York cheesecake is elite. Super creamy and rich. I'll be back! read more

First visit to Grimaldi's Pizzeria. The salad was surprisingly good and fresh. Pizza had a nice crispy crust, but the taste was a bit average. Not bad at all, just didn't live up to the hype. Service was solid. Overall a decent experience, just not a place I'd rush back to. read more

Grimaldis pizza is such good pizza and no matter which one you go to the food quality is always top notch. The servers were extremely attentive making sure our we had everything we need and that our drinks remained full. This location has some great shaded outdoor seating that could even house large parties while not causing it to be crowd. read more

A great establishment whose pizza was delicious and filling! Staff were kind and it was evident that there were strong, open lines of communication. Music made for a noisy atmosphere inside. Outdoor seating had the radio on quiet but the background noise didn't impact one's ability to hear conversation. Outdoor seating also had the heat on when temperatures drop with the changing of the seasons which made for a cozy atmosphere. Bathrooms were small considering the size of the restaurant and the amount of maximum occupancy the restaurant was allowed. The menu had quite a bit of variety but my party stayed with ordering different types of pizza. The sizing of the pizza made it possible for either the pizza to be spit between 2-3 people or for one person to have leftovers. I liked what I ordered so I would go again! read more

I've always wanted to try this place out, but we came right around the "stoking" hour, so it felt a bit rushed trying to decide what type of pizza I wanted right when we were sat. The Bellini tasted so good, I had to get another! I ordered a small white sauce pizza with chicken and jalapeños. To add chicken was $4, and it seemed like they did not put enough chicken on the pizza for the cost. The 12in pizza was about $30 w/chicken, basil and jalapeños. It was pretty quiet, but once 4o clock came it started to liven up a bit. I'll def come back for the giant slice and cocktail. read more

Disclaimer: if you are eating here under the assumption this will be anything like the original Grimaldi's in Brooklyn then you will be sorely disappointed. Unfortunately for us, we are a tad delusional and went in with that mindset. Let's start with the good: the staff is very friendly and attentive, the options for pizza are great, and for how busy The Domain can be on any given night it's nice to be somewhere a bit more relaxed and quiet. The subway station stop decor made us feel a bit at home, which is always a welcome feeling. And for the bad (or at least not good): the pizza is just severely overpriced, almost comically so. You're telling me a 12 inch pizza with 2 toppings is pushing $30? If I wanted to be robbed like that I would just go to 6th Street and hand a vagrant my wallet. The food isn't bad per se, but it just isn't worth the price it's set at. We ordered four pies: The Don, a white pizza with chicken and sun dried tomatoes, a white pizza with spicy sausage and sun dried tomatoes, and a tomato pie with Italian sausage. Aesthetically they all looked great, and the flavors were good as well. We poured a bit of hot honey over our slices which provided it a strong zip of heat alongside some sweetness. The pizza is well balanced and would be considered decent by NY standards. Altogether Grimaldi's is a good pizza place handcuffed by the fact that they think they can charge NY prices for Austin pizza. read more

Eh. The pizza is ok, but the prices are insulting. We ordered an 18 inch Exxtra Pepperoni with Hot Honey for our family of 3 thinking it would be more than enough, which we were very wrong. The price for their 18 inch pizzas is close to $40 and I can safely say that their pizza is not worth those prices. The servers were cool. I definitely wanted to love this place, but would recommend Desano's over Grimaldi's which is not too far from here. read more

My new favorite pizza place! Staff was super helpful and it's a good little atmosphere. Sat on the patio on Sunday for lunch and it was perfect! The pizza is amazing! New York style but best I have had in the Austin area. Sizes are pretty big so be conservative. We had half cheese half donatto. I also got a calzone and it was the small but massive!! The cheese was amazing and so creamy it was wild how get it was. Plenty of great leftovers which was so spot on. Also got a piece of pumpkin cheesecake to go. Let me tell you!! It was so good we are getting a couple for Thanksgiving! They will be a hit. read more

The good about this restaurant is it is in a great area and is a very nice atmosphere. It has a ton of potential but is a chain so not sure if they can make the changes they need to get the extra *s from me. We were a table of 10 and our server was great. He did a great job of taking care of us. We ordered 5 pies and they came out fairly fast but not all at the same time. That made sense possible because of the wood fire oven but the pizza got cold extremely quick IMO. I am a fast eater and love hot pizza and by my second slice it was no longer hot. This may have only bothered me as no one else in my group said anything. I was surprised by the lack of favor on this pie that claimed to be a spicy pie. It was mild and hardly had any flavor. I am not a fan of writing negative reviews and I hope things can be fixed because I would love to give them another shot next time. The pizza are not cheap so that means they got to be memorable. read more

Guest beware!! DO NOT GET TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF!! We got to the restaurant and were very excited to eat here. We decided to eat a pizza that is half and half. We expected to be charged the higher price of the more expensive pizza. Instead, of a $3 difference we ended up with a $13 difference because they charged for each ingredient that wasn't on the other pizza, on top of the original price. Oh and when doing this no one said anything about how we would be charged. When I asked someone that works here they said it was how corporate wanted them to ring it up. So either they lied (I believe them and think they were being truthful) or the corporate offices want to nickel and dime customers. Either way horrible! Very disappointing and would definitely NOT recommend coming here!! read more

It's Grimaldi's, of course it's good. Just hate how expensive it is. You can't build a pizza for less than $20 for a 12 inch. Then they nickle and dime you for a side of ranch. read more

It's nothing like the original Grimaldi's in Brooklyn but it's still good! Caesar salad good. Pizza is thin crust and good. I like they have "slice deals". These are really good cuz you can try multiple toppings. See photos for the menus. And if you can fit it in, don't forget the cheesecake for dessert! The bartender was our waitress even though we sat at a table. She was sooo nice. Gave extra tip just cuz of her happy and helpful personality. And I love the open feeling here. Lots of space and cool decor. I like the wine bottle chandeliers. read more

Well, first of all, having been in the restaurant business I like to include the employees in the review. Our multitasking server was Juan (I think his last name is Inamillion) I always like to feel welcome in every business and Juan certainly made us feel welcome. The restaurant is nicely appointed and comfortable. They use the team method of serving which means that your food is delivered immediately when ready. Virtually every team member was a delight. Juan followed our instructions to the letter. We had arrived at a time when the wood fired oven was being re-stoked. The hostess carefully described what that meant as far as service. I looked at my watch and figured...hey, a glass of wine and a salad and our pizza would show up and that is exactly what happenned. So, if you are going to the Domain and you haven't tried Grimaldi's Pizza, I highly reccommend it. read more

Food was delicious!!! Came out prompt. Service was outstanding!!! I asked to speak to a manager. Kaitlyn (mgr) came to our table. I had a very random, semi-odd request to which she was more than willing to see how she could help. She came back and MORE THAN SATISFACTORY accommodated our request!!! My wife was very impressed. I told her "all u hv to do is ask, u hv nothing to lose". Again, food --GREAT!! People--awesome!! Service--phenomenal!!! read more

Great location and fresh ingredients based on taste. Wood-fire give the pies a unique taste. We had the pesto pizza and I'd order it again but looking forward to exploring other flavors. Enjoyed our service from the host until closing out. Great wine selection and variety of pizzas to choose from the menu. You can do half and half of customize. Our server was prompt and efficient. read more

Great place in the domain. Very cute restaurant, love the atmosphere. The bar is separated from the dining room. We went on a weeknight and were seated right away. Our server met us at the table and took our drink order right away. As we had never been before she explained the menu and ordering for us. We ordered the Caesar salad, Margherita and The Don. Everything we had was good. Loved the coal fired New York style pizza. We will definitely be back. read more

I visited Grimaldi's for the first time on Sunday, and while the pizza was good, the super long wait time and getting overcharged and not realizing until it was too late were problems. I shared a 12" pizza with my boyfriend since we both weren't super hungry and figured we could customize our halves. I got a white pizza with garlic and topped it with artichoke hearts, olive, and onion. It would have been nice if they had pineapple haha. The service was good but I felt like they were trying to push us to download the app for rewards. They also offered ranch and other condiments, and I didn't realize a side of ranch would cost and extra $1... um, what? On top of that, the pizza took forever to come out, which surprised me because it was a "small" 12" pizza. I appreciated that the crust was thin and they kept my boyfriends prosciutto well away from my side of the pie. But what blew me away was that our pizza cost $34...um, come again?? At the time we didn't think of it since we split the bill and it didn't strike us but when we left I was like, that seemed crazy for one small pizza... Not sure if I'd come back on my own, don't really want to spend more than $10 on a small pizza so I'll happily get my cravings satisfied at Mod or Blaze lol read more

So, I've eaten here a few times and each time the pizza is delicious and crispy AS LONG AS you dine-in. Unfortunately, when you take it to go, the pizzas are steamed by the boxes and the crispy deliciousness is ruined ;( I wasted $90 on 2 x-large pizzas to go and almost wrote the place off as I was so upset. Tonight, I came back and enjoyed 2 tasty crispy pizzas and decided no more to go pizzas for me; ONLY dine-in from now on. Leftovers work as the pizza is already cooled when you're taking it home. Christian served us well tonight and the lovely weather made it perfect to sit outside. Cheers to Grimaldi's redemption visit! read more

First time at Grimaldi's...the server says, "you are in for a treat to the best pizza in Texas". I roll my eyes and reply, " I grew up in the East coast and have not found great pizza in Texas. My friend is vegetarian so we ordered a Traditional Pizza lightly baked because she didn't want it to have a charred crust. The pizza's consistency was good. The slice folded over nicely. The pie was cut in odd shaped slices. Some were very large while others were small. The sauce was lacking much flavor...it could use a bit of salt among other spices. The mozzarella was very good although I would have liked a bit more coverage on the pizza. The pizza was not piping hot. Although if it were it might have scorched the roof of our mouths. I refused to eat pizza in Texas for many years as I was spoiled growing up in the Northeast. All in all this is one of the better pizza places in Austin. It just needs a little tweaking! read more

Much better! We had not been here in awhile as the last time we were there, service was slow and food was not that great. Man, have they turned it around!

Hostess didn't acknowledge our party when we came in. After standing there awkwardly for a while I finally said how it would be great if they did. The response was a side eye and no comment. When I asked to be seated outside she said they had no tables available. The patio area was empty. Rather than argue because it was obviously pointless we were seated inside. Our waiter was super friendly and efficient, so that's the 3 stars. We got small two cheese pizzas, three lemonades and a small salad. Plus tip the bill came out to $96. The service upon entering did not match what they charge for the food. read more

Hannah was amazing! Although they no longer have bbq chicken pizza, she helped is find our next best option. Got a half white pizza and half margarita with chicken. It was delicious. We did order a grazing board to start, which was missing things such as olives, peppers, and more. Service though was perfect. read more

A very very good pizza experience! I love pizza (as you can see from my reviews over the years). It's important that I love everything about it- the crust, the sauce, and the amount and freshness of the toppings. Experiencing pizza at a restaurant also requires good atmosphere and attentive service. Grimaldi's wins on all these points. The only drawback for me personally is that I love a slightly thicker crust. This is a great place for casual get-togethers or fun date night in the center of the Domain eateries. Mangia ("let's eat" in Italian)! Enjoy! read more

Clean place, good customers service, the services , foods is really good, they made sure everything outstanding.

It's far from being the best pizza I've had, but it's the best I've had in Texas. The crust is thin, crispy and bubbly, with a good undercarriage. The sauce is clean, not heavily seasoned like some places. The mozz is underwhelming. I prefer a blend of mozz and provolone. That would give it the tang that was missing. And if we go back, I'll bring a little bottle of EVOO to sprinkle on the pizza. In case you haven't guessed, I grew up where you can get REAL pizza, NJ/NY/CT, so I'm a bit of a pizza snob. Place is clean, and service is good. read more

I asked to split an 18" pizza between two $36 specialty options. The server said yes, but instead of treating it as a standard half-and-half, I was charged $36 for the one pizza and $13 in topping fees -- with no clear warning. This isn't standard practice at most pizzerias and feels misleading. I would've been better off ordering two separate 12" specialty pizzas for less. The pizza itself was good, but the lack of transparency left a bad taste. I won't be returning and I definitely won't be recommending this place to anyone. read more

Eating here was a horrible experience. We had to order items over 3 times for the server to finally remember to bring it and everything we ordered took at least 30 minutes to get including the salad and the drinks. We had to remind the server to get our drink 3 different times for him to finally remember. Place is way too expensive for how poor the service is. read more

Be careful on asking for half half here. Ordered 16in pizza and asked for half2 "The Don + Procuitto". Later did we know they charged you for the toppings for the other half of the pizza. We ended up paying $41 (27+4pepperoni+5meatball+5sausage) for an OK 16in pizza. Lol. What a rip off. Not again. P.s. The wait was long for a not so busy lunch, don't go hungry. read more
