This was my first time trying this location. I wasn't happy with the experience. I am not impressed with this location. I am not impressed with the pizza. I am not impressed with the quality. I am not impressed with the Sangria. I am not impressed with the service. Food was ok part of my pizza was burnt. Berry Sangria wasn't very berry. Customer Service was lacking it was so lack luster. It was truly disappointing and made me sad. Thank goodness I know Grimaldi' s can do better. I won't be coming back here. Please improve on service and friendliness and QUALITY. I will stick to Dallas or Allen. read more

Wow I had the mediterranean salad. I've had it many times, but it was a stand out today. I was talking to the waiter and he said they fresh cut the vegetables every morning and you can taste it the tomatoes the cucumbers all the vegetables were just fresh and they tasted so good. The chicken I added was delicious slightly smoky perfectly cooked husband enjoyed his pizza . This is our first time at the Plano location. The salad was just delicious and the amount of dressing was perfect . I noticed the cook had his hair tied back his appearance was professional and clean . Everything was so clean waiter couldn't have been nicer . Great meal , great waiter great service. read more

Let me start by saying I'm not a fully committed Grimaldi's fan. To me the pizza is never great. Today's was a miss but,I think it's more a personal preference. There are a lot of people that like Grimaldi's. I do like their Cesear Salad. It's always good and today's was delicious even after a ride home delay. Not wanting to hang out with the holiday mobs,I got a small white Pizza to go with pepperoni, sausage and meatballs. Something about the way they slice their meat toppings doesn't appeal to me. I usually don't get desert here but took a slice of cheesecake to go. Again, average. I think Grimaldi's is a personal preference kind of place. Not for me but you may like it. For the prices I just expect a more ,Wow type pizza experience. read more

Great lunch spot. My son and I stopped in, sat at the bar and had the lunch special. Slice of pizza with salad. Very good NY style slice and fresh ceasar salad. Service was great, friendly and welcoming. Restaurant reminds you of a traditional Italian spot which I loved! I will definitely return! read more

Unfortunately, I get why this spot doesn't have the best reviews. From the couple of times I have been, the pizza is usually not as fresh and the service is a little distant. I remember I arrived and it took almost 10 min to get a menu and take my order. My all time favorite Grimaldis is in San Antonio where the pizza and service is top tier. I'd be willing to give this place another try next time I'm in Plano. read more

Amazing pizza and even more amazing service. Lovers the sweet sauce and the crust was one of the best I've ever had. Visited on a Friday evening and walked right in and was able to get seated. Sangria was delicious too! read more

Had a great experience yesterday. My daughter wanted pizza and we were close to this location so we went in.Kasey K was flawless. Hospitality like I hadn't had in a long time anywhere. Very personable We had a simple 12-in pizza and the bruschetta trio pictured Even had the happy hour pricing on the bruschetta Typical design of an Italian restaurant but cozy I've had some good experiences and some bad experiences at this location, but this was the best experience. Mostly because of the above mentioned Kasey. read more

Grimaldi's is our favorite spot for pizza. Thin crust with a slight crunch. Usually a 9/10...not a 10 due to the lack of toppings every.single.time, but the flavor is there! For an almost $30 pizza I expect those toppings to be falling off the pizzas! read more

Went out for a Friday Pizza night at Grimaldi's. From the moment we entered the staff took great care of us, with them even bringing my 3 year old son a piece of dough. The atmosphere was perfect for a family that captured that classic nostalgia pizza vibe. The pizza was amazing we started off getting a large margarita and pepperoni and hot honey pizza. The pizza was very good, with the sauce having a lot of flavor to it, and the pepperoni with the hot honey was some of the best tasting pepperoni I've had, the dough was good, with my only comment that being that it could be a bit crispier, but it still had that perfect char, that all the classic pizza's have. My family of 5 devoured the 2 pizzas and we immediately asked for another pepperoni with hot honey, which only lasted a couple minutes before we ate that all up. Our waitress was amazing making sure our drinks were refilled and making sure we were having a great experience. This will definitely be a spot in the rotation for Pizza nights going forward! read more

This place is amazing, ignore the bad reviews. From the dough, to the sauce to the cheese; it's great. Not sysco foods. 1 of 2 places in the north Plano area that's a cousin to the margarita pizza you eat in Napoli. Go and try it! read more

I came here once for takeout and wondered how it would taste fresh out the oven for a dine in experience. The pizza tasted even better. I highly recommend the Don Pizza. The peach mocktail was also delicious. Service was quick and friendly. read more

I picked the wrong night to eat here. They were having computer issues and out of mushrooms. The pizza took a long time to get and it was burnt. I gave an extra star because our server was great read more

We stopped by on our way home from an appointment on a Tuesday around 1:45 p.m. We ordered the large Margarita pizza and it did not disappoint. The service was fast and friendly which we appreciated and the pizza was delicious , we definitely plan to come back! The ambiance of the restaurant was nice even though we didn't eat there it had an authentic pizzeria feel to it. read more

Our 16 inch pizza was over $50 and cold. We ordered half of the don pizza and half hot honey pepperoni. We added black olives, green bell peppers and mushroom. Right before the pizza came out the server let us know they were out of hot honey! Why would they not tell us this prior to ordering the pizza? No quality control. We also learned they use Hormel Pepperoni full of Chemicals... no thank. The food is mid here. read more

There's something about Grimaldi's that makes you feel like you've stepped into the kind of East Coast pizzeria where folding your slice is a sign of respect--and flavor. We came in for the Slices ASAP lunch special and left full, happy, and humming Sinatra. The "giant" slice wasn't as giant as I imagined, but it was surprisingly filling--thin, coal-fired, and kissed with just the right amount of char on the crust. I went classic with pepperoni and added roasted red peppers. The oil was real (as it should be), but fold your slice and let it drip--it's all part of the experience. The Caesar salad was fresh, chilled, and dressed in just the right amount of creamy, tangy dressing. The parmesan shavings were generous, and I appreciated that they didn't over-saturate the greens. The vibe? Spotless dining area, red-checkered tablecloths, good music, and fantastic service. Our server was quick, kind, and attentive without hovering. The whole place reminded me of my years in Staten Island--surrounded by true Italian charm, where even mobsters knew a good slice when they tasted one. Dessert sealed the deal. We tried the trio sampler--New York cheesecake, tiramisu, and a cannoli. Each one held its own, but the tiramisu stole the spotlight. If you're a tiramisu lover like me, skip the sampler and go all in. You'll only be disappointed by how small the trio portion is. We also had the Oreo cheesecake, and it hit the sweet tooth just right--creamy, rich, and playful without being too heavy. Grimaldi's is exactly what it claims to be: a little slice of old-school New York tucked into Frisco, Texas. It's not trying too hard--it just knows who it is. And I respect that. #HayiaSophia #HayiaSophiaFaves #FoldYourSlice #TiramisuWins #FriscoEats read more

I buy pizza for the office almost every week. My local Grimaldi's (Legacy Plano) is great. Clean, Prompt, and Accommodating of my special requests. The staff is friendly and the pizza is great. I would make one suggestion, order your pie cooked on a screen. Directly in oven sometimes results in an unpleasant charcoal (burn) that we don't like. The screen cook eliminates this side effect. Go try the pizza, you won't be disappointed. read more

Love the Ambiance here in this restaurant! Great music with a few TVs for the sports fans. View to the kitchen to see the hand tossed crust and prep is a cool feature. Can't go wrong with that! Ice tea was made right as well. Not just colored water but a real taste of tea! I ordered the Don and had shrooms added since it was an easier way to build a pizza. Plenty of toppings to choose from but thought they'd have more selections rather than build your own. The pizza has really great flavor with the meat combo. Meatballs were some of the best I've had. Thin crust, coal fired, cooked to perfection in my eyes! Loved every bit of it and had some for left-overs o. The drive home Grimaldi's has my vote! read more

Surprised at the bad reviews because we have been going to Grimaldi's for pizza for many many years (originally the one in Dallas) and never had an issue. Service has always been good, food quality has been consistent and taste has always been delicious! It's our go to pizza restaurant! read more

A group of us (about 15) went to dinner here on a Sunday night. First impression was good. Bright, spacious and clean. We order. Some drinks take 30 minutes to come after having to ask. I ordered a spinach salad, they're out of spinach. The chicken on it was so dry. Pizza was just ok. Waitress disappeared. Weird pricing on one of the pizzas. Maybe we just caught them on a bad night? Go at your own risk. read more

Our dinner became a comedy of errors by the night's end. Poor service, unattentive staff and rude management made the night a bust. Drinks took over a half hour, some forgotten. Food did not arrive together with some pizzas arriving after others finished eating already and arrived cold. We wondered why the place was nearly empty on a Sunday nignt and now we know why. Staff needs more training. The bill was also calculated incorrectly and was not handled properly by management. I would not recommend this establishment. read more

I hated writing this review. I really did. But I can no longer buy pizza from this place. When the pizza is GOOD, it is REALLY GOOD. But over 50% of the time THIS is what I get. A BURNED CRUST!!! Rule number 1 is making pizza - DONT F'ING BURN THE CRUST!! I buy 4 pizzas, I get 2 burned pizzas. That is totally unacceptable, ESPECIALLY for a delivery. What is the one thing you can't fix once you get home? That's right. BURNING IT!! The hillbillies they have working the oven are ruining peoples orders on a REGULAR basis, and it's a disgrace to their absolutely otherwise delicious pizza. They are burning the pizzas because they aren't focused on making PIZZA!! That's your job Bru! No more. Fool me more than once and you get a crappy review. read more

Ordered takeout. Arrived 20 minutes later after them telling me it would be ready in 15 minutes. I show up and it's raining outside with nowhere to park and I run inside and ask where the order is. She takes my payment first and then looks for my order and doesn't see it and doesn't even tell me what's going on. I ask about where my pizza is she says let me go. Check comes back and says it'll be ready in a few minutes. I had to go re-park because I was illegally parked with no parking available so I came back in after five minutes and she said let me check on it again. After some back-and-forth, I figured out that my pizza was somehow gone and they had to remake it. They said it would be another 10 minutes. So they hurriedly made my pizza. I sat there for another 15 minutes. What's the point of takeout if you can't get the order right? The most frustrating part was they didn't even offer anything for the inconvenience of sitting there for 25 to 30 minutes waiting for my takeout order. Honest mistakes can be made but nobody fessed up or offered anything for recompense. No wonder they only have a 3.1 rating read more

So happy that a Grimaldi's opened relatively close to us. We decided to stop by for lunch out of the blue because we hadn't eaten at the new location yet. Stepping inside is pretty much like stepping into the others: decor is the same, music is the same, and layout is pretty much the same. I will say this one seemed to have its music on fairly loud. My SO and I had a hard time talking and we were sitting across from each other. The place settings were on the table when we arrived. I quickly noticed that the napkin for mine was stained or something. When the server came by to get our order, she promptly replaced it with a new, clean set. We ordered two pizzas, 12" pepperoni for my SO and a 12" Margherita for myself. They both came out perfect. The bottoms were done to the ideal darkness, and the crust had that distinct chew. Of course, the mozzarella and sauce just brings it on home. It was a home run for us. Overall, our experience was great. Our server was super nice and attentive and the food came out exactly how we wanted. Will most definitely return Although I believe another location is opening in The Colony which is even closer! read more

Grimaldi's Pizzeria - Napkin on table still had sauce stains from prior use - Desserts Near Me - Plano, Texas

Grimaldi's Pizzeria was a disaster. Service was pathetic at best! Ordered salad and three pizza's. No salad, two pizza's were good, one was wrong. Server stayed behind the bar, had to signal her for refills, never came back for other refills, dessert or to check on us. We shared our displeasure and it was like who cares...I'm the bartender...obviously no idea how to take care of a table! Watched two other servers working on their dance moves, and the manager was obviously not involved in managing - seemed very lethargic. What kind of restaurant runs this way...no apology, no deduction, no reason to go back! But if you want a good show - go watch the dough guy...he knows how to throw dough! read more

The pizza here is always so good. No matter what pizza you get! The only reason I have it 4 stars instead of 5 is because service was slow. The waitress did compensate us in the end because they took so long. The waitress was very nice. It's just a little slow but if you're in no rush i definitely recommend as the pizza is so great!!! read more

We waited to be sat in an empty restaurant for quite a while. We were sat with no menus. The lemon arugula salad was divine. We love how they make their croutons homemade. The pizza was good too. You'll have to fold it to get the best experience because they don't put cheese everywhere on the pizza. read more

Pizza Quattro Formaggi was amazing and the thin crust made the difference. The place is very cute.

For a soft opening, I'd say this was a very solid experience. Had the spinach salad for starters. The small is pretty generous and very much sharable by 2 people. The large is HUGE and is sharable by 4 people, maybe 3 if you like a ton of side salad. Had The Don on 1st visit and The Brooklyn 2nd. The Don was very good but more like a typical meat lovers kind of za. Brooklyn was better, especially because we subbed grilled chicken instead of sausage. YUM. Definitely recommended. Visit 1 was cannole for dessert. YUMTASTIC. Very very good - admittedly coming from someone who can't remember the last time he had a cannole, so I'm no connoisseur. Visit 2 we shared the tiramisu, and it was solid. Not the best I've had locally, but it was delicious fo sho. Between the 2, I'd probably pick the cannole. Service was super fun and friendly, across the board. Interacted with several people and everyone was just full of good vibes and good cheer. What a great group! Atmosphere is lively and fun with cool decor. Love the wine bottle overhead lighting. Loud - not an intimate spot. A fun spot. Overall was a solid experience and we'll be back. read more

This was my first visit to Grimaldi's and I won't waste my time coming back. Ordered a margarita pizza and the bottom of the pizza was totally charred black. I don't know if it was due to the coal fired oven. Even the basil leaves were charred black and unrecognizable. We also had salads which were excellent but the pizza was a disappointment. read more

I order online Grimaldi's pizza to be lite cooked after 2 times before considerable burnt. This pizza was taken home completely not edible a 3rd time and when called to ask why burnt, the manager laughed and offered me a pizza if I'm ever in the area. Completely unprofessional and disappointing, after spending $60.00 with a tip and no food to eat for tonight. I would expect better for such an established place in the Plano area. read more

Came in on Saturday at 9pm, no wait wasn't really busy. Waited forever for our pizza and our server didn't really do much. Kept saying "that pizza shouldn't take long" and then it took like 30 minutes. Again with another pizza later on. Our party kept running out of water and would take forever to bring us refills. worst part we wanted to order dessert and she just assumed we were done and brought 1 check for 5 people without asking. Food is amazing, service is questionable. read more

Grimaldi's Pizzeria - Quite empty, service still took forever - Desserts Near Me - Plano, Texas

Pizza and salad were tasty, BUT, I was very surprised and very distracted by the guy working behind the bar (I think he was a manager) sneezing into his hands and not immediately washing them. Also, I was charged for a lemonade AND I did NOT order or drink one. I brought a water flavor packet with me AND I kept the packet visible on the table. I left a handsome tip before reviewing the details of my receipt. Good food, but I'm a disappointed customer. This was NOT the Grimaldi's Pizzeria experience I remember. read more

My favorite pizza place. You seriously can't beat it. They also have the best cheesecake. I only have 4 stars because of the service. I've had the same waiter a couple times and we always have to ask for drink refills and today we had to go to the bar to get our own drinks after they sat there for 20 minutes. read more

Grimaldi's Pizzeria - Prosciutto with white garlic sauce was one of my favorites! - Desserts Near Me - Plano, Texas

Good pizza, terrbible service. We were there this past Sunday and the place was fairly empty. We waited 5-6 minutes to get sat, then waited at the table for another 10 for a server to come by. He was nice when he finally came by, took our drink order and food order. Drinks took about 20 minutes. My son's pizza came out first then ours about 15 minutes later. We wanted another round of drinks but we couldn't find our server. I finally asked the hostess to find him. Same result, 20 minutes to get another round. Bill as $113 for two pizzas, an app, and four drinks, so about what I'd expect, but there are other pizza places with as good pizza and way better service. read more

Grimaldi's Pizzeria uses coal- fire brick oven. If you never had coal fired oven pizza, the crust is thin, slightly burnt from coal fire brick oven which gives a unique delicious tasting crust (the edges of the crust should be chard) We ordered, 'The Don' their traditional pizza, top with spicy Italian sausage, meatballs, and pepperoni. Pizza sizes are 12 and 16 inch and 18 inch. They also offer gluten friendly crust. Full bar, friendly customer service. read more

We have been to this grimaldis multiple times, as we don't want to wait for the allen location to clean their ovens. This is our first bad experience, and it wasn't just bad-- it was awful and we don't plan on coming back. It took about 7~ mins to be acknowledged by a server. We ordered drinks and pizza at the same time since we had waited so long. She did not use an order pad, and she forgot multiple things (we subbed italian sausage for pepperoni and we didn't get either on the pizza. We had to ask for the hot honey that we ordered with the pizza 3 times. The blonde girl that initially took our order and forgot multiple things-- she never checked on us again. The server for the adjacent table (curly hair) had to help us with all the errors the first server made, and for that and her we are grateful. But by the time we received our pepperonis and hot honey, our pizza was cold and not appetizing at all. When it came time to check out, no one knew who our server was or how to get the check. The blonde server was leaving for shift change, the curly hair server said we weren't her table, then somehow a new server who just came on was able to check us out. It's important to note--this was 345p-430p, they were not busy and had so many staff on. Overall a horrible experience. read more

We came to this location for the 1st time. Its located at the shops of legacy. We ordered a cheese, a pepperoni and the prosciutto/arugula pizzas. The latter was my favorite. But the pizzas were delicious. Thin crust, cooked well and very flavorful and tasty. We had enough to take home for the next day. We also ordered a bottle of Italian pinot noir and it was pretty decent. The place looks nice inside. They have an open kitchen style where you can see the brick oven and everyone preparing the food. Nice lighting as well. But what we enjoyed the most was our waiter Jaden (I believe is his name). He was so funny and attentive. He did an excellent job! Shoutout to Jaden! We had so much fun and stayed for several hours that I forgot to take any photos since I wasn't on my phone. Definitely coming back here soon! read more
