DorouliniMay 24, 2018Delicious pizza! The 8-piece size is huge! We also tried the antipasti and it was ok! We went at the opening time and we just walked in. I definitely recommend it!!

Kayla GibsonMarch 3, 2014Get there early, wait gets crazy. But if you have to wait, it's worth it. The half pepperoni, meatball and half ricotta, onion was pretty spectacular. The location is also unbeatable.
Roger RJune 2, 2016Grimaldi's is a great experience if you want some NY pizza history, but there are better pizzas in this style to be had in the the city/BK The best pizza on the menu is their White Pizza by far!
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍December 19, 2018Local Brooklyn's favorite pizzeria. Delicious straight forward fresh pizza that is worth the hype. Honestly, the bad reviews of this place are the kind of negativity you don't need in your life- Richard EllisNovember 1, 2016I thought tourist price and I go to place on Manhattan, Then I remembered I spent $100 on beer last night and stayed for a small meatball. Excellent NY pizza & take off my bucket list. JUST DO IT!
SooaDecember 24, 2014you can pick out of two bases for your pizza - white (14$-small / has extra cheese no tomato) and original (12$-small / w. tomato) . Then pick your toppings. jalapeño and garlic is amazing. Cash only.
Erik CintronAugust 14, 2014This original pizza in the heart of dumbo. A landmark with a tourist attraction. It's some good and fast pizza. It's fairly priced they moved it got more space. No more long lines. Do it once!!!
Josenny TorresMay 2, 2016The pizza is amazing. Made to perfection. The only downside is that you wait a long time to be seated, and to get your food. Overall, once you get the food you'll see its worth it
Halstead PropertyJuly 11, 2013Ranked New York City’s #1 Pizza, this is the best coal-oven pie with the freshest mozzarella and just the right amount of sauce. Come hungry and bring friends because they don’t sell by the slice!
Cris LauerJanuary 15, 2016Came on a whim to avoid the line at Juliana's-- great decision!! 👍🏽👍🏽 Calzone was huge and delicious and pizza was just right. Fast service too.
Julie SosciaJanuary 13, 2019Located in DUMBO, Grimaldi's is known to tread on the touristy side, but their pizza is really tasty and it has a real New York feel. Make sure you bring cash - they don't take cards.
Bartek KożusznikMay 4, 2014You may have to queue for a bit to get seated but it's definitely worth it - Italian atmosphere, delicious pizza and reasonable prices. P.S. Cash only
Ryan RossAugust 6, 2014The best cheap pizza in New York. You can eat out for a twenty here, and you'll leave full and satisfied. The service is very much in keeping with the vibe however, not for the sensitive.
MalloryJuly 25, 2012Definitely worth the wait! Small pizza is enough for 3 people to share, large works too depending on how hungry. Also, try the "Olde Brooklyn" root beer, very tasty! :)
BeccaMay 12, 2018Great location and great food, the pizza is different in a good way and it’s not over priced. Great lunch or date setting.
David ChitanavaJune 12, 2021One of the best pizza in the city.Its definitely worth to try.Pizza was crispy, flavorful and tasty.The place was not overcrowded as it was usually before a pandemic.
SuzieNovember 24, 2013If it's a nice day out, get it to go and eat it by Jane's Carousel. There are several tables & a nice view of the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, and Manhattan skyline.
Tayyare FlyingSeptember 29, 2015Allllways with a looong queue in front. They do not accept credit cards, cash only. Plastic plates, forks and knives. Bıt the pizzas they serve are UNVELİEVABLE. They are amazaingly TASTY. Must try
Christina ChinFebruary 19, 2022Went on sunday at 2p and was empty, no line! I think maybe 30min later it started getting lil more busy but still no wait. Pies order only, 16" totally enough for 2. Worth it when there's no wait.
João Otávio dos Santos SilvaJuly 20, 2015I had a simple fresh tomato slices and basil pizza but it couldn't be better. The taste was awesome. But beware: this place is really popular, so you might have to wait a while for a table.
Rong NguyenJanuary 24, 2012Cash only!!! Went at lunch time no lines got a small pizza with 6 slices which is enough for 2. I like the pizza here more than Lombardi's. Great thin crust pizza and yummie with red crust peppers!
Julie MorseMay 10, 2016Small pizza perfect for 2, specially if you're hungry! Their mozzarella cheese is authentic and amazing. And the place is super cozy and free wifi!!
Estefanía López DefloryMay 12, 2014Long queues, but worth the wait under the Brooklyn Bridge. Food and service are excellent. Much better than Lombardi's in Little Italy, and very reasonable prices.
Mariela CabreraSeptember 14, 2017Amazing but the only take cash. No slices, so if you go alone, you will have to order a hole pizza.
Hannah KirsebomJuly 30, 2019Great pizza. Totally worth standing in line a bit to get a table. The “small” pizza was anything but small... more than enough for 2 hungry adults
Gaston BOctober 11, 2016Definitely worth the trip to Brooklyn! This place is cash only but they do have an ATM inside.
Kyo SongApril 17, 2016Has gotten very touristy and prices vs what you get... Still a good pizza but it isn't as good as Grimaldi's was that local haunt (before the Reno and the expanded locations). Worth trying once
Michelin Travel & LifestyleSeptember 23, 2012Almost as famous as their astounding pizza is the long line, but the wait is well worth it. These whole pizzas (no slices) go for $12-16 & should be eaten in Brooklyn Bridge Park. - Green Guide Editor
Daniel BarnettOctober 20, 2014Grimaldi's, like Lombardi's is a classic, historic name in the pizza business that has unfortunately dropped in goodness as it expanded. Fine. The pizzas still great.
Deborah CareyMarch 9, 2018Good pie, fast service—no booze so maybe better for families with kids-went to pass time during rush hour heading back to Philly from JFK -did the trick but could have used a cold one with my pie!
Carla SchoemanSeptember 12, 2014Firstly note this is a cash only place- there is an atm upstairs though. Best pizza of my life.- L. T.July 25, 2015The pizza is fantastic but overrated. The hype makes lines so ridiculous during peak hours. Opt for lunch instead of dinner if this is a must for you. Otherwise, try any other amazing pizza nearby.
- aSeptember 30, 2016A classic and a pretty good pizza, not as saucy as other offerings, but still very good. The fresh mozz on the cheese pie makes it.
Everything here is amazing. If you get a carafe of wine, it's more like a bottle and a half so it will last a while. Get friendly with your neighbors and enjoy the familial atmosphere.
StefanoBlack▒October 25, 2011One of the most deservedly famous Bk pizzerias. Lines get long with good reason. Take a date for an evening walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, then swing under the far end for a pie & a bottle of wine.
Kelly GonzalezDecember 20, 2011Haven't been here since last year, they moved a few doors down to a bigger location. The new location is much better than the old. This pizzeria is definitely worth the wait!!
Tim BushnellMay 8, 2017A great classic pizza, charcoal oven fired and everything you want a NYC pizza to be
Alyssa B.August 1, 2021It was good, but not as good as I expected it to be. The pizza was fine- flavor 8/10, crust 6/10, price/value 8/10, service 10/10 (covid sunday, no line, attentive). The caesar salad could be better
Greg PhilippiJune 8, 2012Filling and Good, fresh ingredients. Mushroom pie was damn good. A bit hot upstairs but well worth the wait! Oh yeah, always a line but other location less crowded!
InFOODxicationOctober 14, 2013Come here on a rainy day..you'll save yourself the lines! Either way, pizza is worth the wait!
christina leigh morganOctober 27, 2014thin crust coal-fired pizza w/ real mozzarella 🍕 cash only no slices! eat + walk back over the BB towards the city 🌆
Francisco VillacisAugust 22, 2011The wait on the line is worth it. I was real skeptic about Grimaldi's but its different from your local mom and pop's pizza. Think of a quality pizza with quality ingredients. Enjoy!!!
Hani AlawadhiAugust 23, 2014New Yorkers love to argue about the best pizza, but no one can argue that this Grimaldi's is one of the top in town.
ドーラMarch 7, 2011Homemade sauce, fresh mozzarella, soft ricotta, spicy pepperoni, salty capers, hand-cut mushrooms and basil decorate the best offerings. There's also a white pizza (no sauce) and calzones to nosh on.
Rob MehtaFebruary 28, 2014The BEST pizza in NY. Skip the cannoli and have dessert down the street at the ice cream shop at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Mark DregerSeptember 29, 2014After standing in line for almost an hour (and the bouncer at the door letting 10+ people behind us in), we were surprised to find plenty of open tables inside. Tasty pizza, but ditch the attitude.
Alejandro OlveraApril 30, 2014Good quality ingredients, but not impressed by the flavor. The mozzarella is plain. A nice location, but in our case the big prices and flavor didn't leave up to the big expectations set by reviews.
