Grimaldi's is consistently solid. I ordered a cheese pizza for take out. Good crisp, sweet sauce- I was pleased. 16" is enough to share for 2. Staff was very pleasant and helpful.

Don Pizza:  Traditional Pizza topped with italian sausage, meatballs and pepperoni.  This is served with fresh basil.
Joneice B.

Sat at the bar. It has been quite a long time since I have eaten at one of these. On this evening. We had refreshing drinks. Mojito and Hugo Spritz. For dinner we shared a salad. The small was plenty to share for two people. For the main event, we got the Don. Especially delicious on this evening. The meatballs were so tasty. I appreciate their sauce and coal fire pizza cooking approach. All in all, good experience. Will come back to check out special and Happy hour during the week.

Menu

We've been coming here for years and. Don't know why but the last few years they seem to not want to let you sit at a booth. I looked around and plenty of booths open but the girl exclaimed they were all reserved.. really? She said they all have reservations for 6. So your telling me that every booth in this whole place has people coming in at exactly 6. I really find that hard to believe. I told her I've never been able to make a reservation there to which she replied we don't take same day reservations. I've called many times to ask about reservations even if it was for another day and repeatedly told they don't take reservations. Even the join waitlist on Yelp and their website says sorry waitlist unavailable no matter what time of day you try it. **just noticed I hadn't posted this review, it's probably a few years old **

Soda, pizza and salad - good meal
Vivian H.

I had lunch here today and it's always been a good experience here. I sat at the bar and was the lone wolf at the bar. I ordered the lunch special which was a slice of pizza, a salad (I had Caesar's) and a soda for $10.99. You really can beat that these days with prices going thru the roof. Caesar salad was very fresh, and just the right amount of dressing and lettuce wasn't drowned in dressing. Grimaldi's makes some fantastic salads and I love their lemon arugula salad too. Pizza wasn't that gigantic a slice but it was bigger than a traditional slice. It was a little drier than I liked, but it worked out OK. Server was very good and very in step with checking in. She was also able to pull up my rewards number just by entering my phone number. I like Grimaldi's and definitely will come back again and again. Frank Sinatra was playing overhead and really made me miss NYC. I come here to get a slice of the Big Apple when I need it.

House salad
Chris G.

What can you say except this is my all time favorite pizza , There pepperoni pizza is so good and the service has always been top notch always quick service and nice ambiance inside with the wine bottle lights and some frank sinatra playing and they have a patio if the weather is nice. I also suggest the house salad as its dressing is so so good. I will stop by here anytime in the area and they have several locations to choose from regardless where you are in the valley.

Mediterranean Salad
Cynthia P.

Pizza was phenomenal. Absolutely loved the taste. We also enjoyed their Mediterranean Salad and the Bruschetta trio. My only concern is the pizza maker in front of us was tossing pizza, slapping it around his arms and the dough kept hitting the bracelets on his wrists. Not very sanitary. I would have given this place a five hadn't been for me watching him toss raw pizza dough on those bracelets. I had to convince myself that the germs were being burnt off in the hot oven.

White pizza with garlic add pepperoni and jalapeño
Arielle W.

Picked up my app order which was my birthday pizza with added toppings. The pizza was hot and fresh and ready at the stated time. Service was friendly and quick. I've never been to this location but it's pretty big! Only gripe- $4 for toppings is fine if you add an adequate amount to justify the price. Didn't hit the make. Tasted amazing as always though!

Elaine R.

If you're on the hunt for authentic, coal-fired brick oven pizza, look no further than Grimaldi's. From the moment you step inside, the warm ambiance and enticing aroma of freshly baked pizza draw you in. Their crust is perfectly crispy yet delightfully chewy, striking that delicate balance that sets it apart. I've been dining at Grimaldi's for almost over 10 years now and I always ALWAYS get my pizza with fresh garlic. This particular visit, I ordered an 18-inch cheese pizza loaded with sausage, pepperoni, extra cheese, fresh garlic, and white onion. This time the pizza was only just ok, why because even though I ordered fresh garlic as a topping, I could absolutely not taste it on my pizza. As mentioned above, I always get fresh garlic on my pizza, so I know what the pizza is supposed to taste like. Thankfully, after letting my waiter know I didn't taste any garlic, he removed that topping from my bill. Despite this minor hiccup, I always enjoy dining at Grimaldi's. My favorite thing about Grimaldi's is the overall flavor(s) their pizza offers. Also, their extensive menu ensures there's something for every pizza lover. To round out the experience, the service was attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home. Whether it's a casual dinner or a celebration with loved ones, Grimaldi's still delivers an enjoyable dining outing. Recommended for pizza enthusiasts with an eye for detail!

John G.

Exemplary customer service by Selena and Andrea. Grimaldi's arugula and lemon salad with the shaved Parmesan has become my absolute favorite salads: healthy and quite delicious. I've noticed that extreme cleanliness and staff courtesy seem to be a common denominator at all Grimaldi's franchise. That alone is enough to lure me back.

Quattro Formaggi Pizza with added Pepperoni and half red sauce
Patrick D.

Tried out Grimaldi's Pizzeria for the first time today and it didn't disappoint. The service was on spot the second we walked on and the ambiance was great! The first server that saw us to our table asked if it was a special occasion as well as the waitress that took our order! We started with the Caprese appetizer which was full of flavor. Tried the Quattro Formaggi pizza and added pepperoni and did half red sauce. It was on spot! Did the ores cheesecake for dessert! Great date night!! I will be back!

Lunch special giant slice
Shiloh M.

The ambiance and decoration are nice. I really like the patio seating area as well as the indoor fireplace. The food is...fine. It's not special. And it's not cheap. It's been awhile since I've been here and it just isn't as good. The salad in the lunch special was the hero of the day. The pizza just looked flopped together. The service was really lacking. Three people in our party were nearly finished before the fourth person even got their pizza. Server kept saying it was "in the oven" but I think she just forgot. It was a single lunch slice of pepperoni pizza--nothing difficult. Kind of an overall bleh experience.

Chantel Q.

We were shopping most of the afternoon and decided to eat out for dinner. There was about a 20-25 min wait on a Saturday night, not too bad. Our server was really upbeat and made sure to answer any questions we had. We ended up ordering a Greek salad, which I loved. Kids ordered a margarita pizza, and my husband got a meat combo. We all enjoyed everything. We will definitely be back, thank you!

Berry sangria and Modelo
Chloë J.

We had a lovely visit at Grimaldi's a this Saturday night. There was no wait time, we were greeted and sat as soon as we walked in. Our waitress was great, made sure our drinks stayed full and our empty plates were taken away. We ordered a large Caesar salad, BBQ chicken pizza, and a white pizza with prosciutto, bacon, ricotta, & tomatoes. Everything tasted delicious! Great spot for a first date, relaxed bit also fancy-ish vibes

Cheese pizza with barbecue sauce. First time coming here and not disappointed :)

She made it seem like we were there to get drunk??? She had an attitude basically the whole time she was talking to me. For no reason. At one point I said "never mind" and wanted to walk away but she tried to make up for her attitude and gave us a couple options to try. The tequila was great and both my boyfriend and I agreed we were gonna come back to purchase the Suavecito (but we already had our hearts set on a wine from a wine sample we tried). The gentleman at the wine section was a whole lotttt friendlier. Since we tried a couple of tequila samples and didn't buy any tequila at the time, when we walked away, she said "All that and you still didn't buy anything". Girl. The attitude. Just flat out rude. If you're so miserable at your job, find a new one. Also it's so uncomfortable being followed around the whole time you shop there. Literally feels like hawks around you. I definitely won't be back. The wine is good tho!

Consistency and professionalism are no longer values fostered and maintained at AJ's in newly hired team members due to lack of effective leadership and sub-par training programs. Thankfully the long-standing staff that care is the only saving grace of this store, along with a variety of good items not found nearby due to the lack of competition which also has contributed to AJ's decline. If you want a burrito here like they used to regularly offer, good luck--they rarely make them anymore, and when they do it's no longer at any predictable time. None offered even at 9am on a Saturday. Better off making one at home with quality ingredients anyway, not Bashas' junk ingredients sold at a premium. Just think what AJ's could've been with proper leadership. Instead, still riding out the ripples that remain from its wave of 1900s excellence.

A weary traveler arrives and sits down at his favorite bar--Bottleshop48, located at 3318 S McClintock Dr, Tempe, AZ 85282, in the Aldi shopping center. He orders a crisp glass of Bottleshop Water, known to the regulars simply as "water," and rests for a moment as a film begins to play on the main TV. Brad and Angelina appear. It is Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the acclaimed 2005 action/comedy. A small tear rolls down his face; finally, he will be able to enjoy Mr. and Mrs. Smith from start to finish. Finally, his life will have meaning beyond the crude dionysian pursuit of wine, women, and song. Today, he thinks: "my suffering will end: I am free from the banality of the world outside, with a full 2 hours of action/comedy to enjoy, cold drink in hand, hale companions to my left and to my right." But this man was mistaken. Instead a challenger appears--a man from the wrong side of the tracks, a man bent on ruining our hero's uninterrupted viewing of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Shockingly this newcomer requests the TV remote. He brazenly downloads the Sling Freestream app on the TV. He scrolls through the Sling Freestream app's numerous free ad-supported options and chooses--impossibly--Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the 1975 comedic send-up of the grim circumstances of the Middle Ages as told through the story of King Arthur and framed by a modern-day murder investigation. Our hero protests meekly, in earnest: "but I was watching Mr. and Mrs. Smith." "Oh sorry," the upstart pretender responds, surprised that someone would be so interested in seeing the end of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Does our hero challenge this cruel usurper to fisticuffs for the TV remote? No. Does he chuck a beer at this sadistic lover of classic British humor? No. Does he strip naked and dance atop the bar in a lewd manner to assert his dominance over the TV? He does not. A man of peace--a true lover not a fighter and a known Ryan Gosling look-alike--our hero grits his teeth and accepts the excruciating truth that he will see no more of Brad and Angelina on this night. He simply pays his tab and exits into the freezing late April air, never to know true happiness. Never to experience complete extasy. Never to see the end of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
