Grimaldi’s In Brooklyn Getting Evicted
Huffington Post - One of the best pizza joints in the city may have to close its doors. The owner of Grimaldi’s in Brooklyn has been served with eviction papers. Dorothy Waxman says her tenant, Frank Ciolli, owes her $44,000. Ciolli disputes how much he owes Waxman and says he paid his rent on time “for the most part.” On Friday, Waxman plans to ask a State Supreme Court judge to give her tenant the boot. Regardless of the judges decision, Ciolli hopes to open a new restaurant on Sixth Avenue and 20th Street in Manhattan.
Fantastic pizza and tremendous canolis now if you wops could just learn how to pay the rent we’ll be in business. I’ve never been to this joint but I guess I gotta get on that ASAP. Obviously the place is legendary but I can’t make the hike all the way to BK for a slice of pizza. Does this place live up to the hype?
Best pizza I ever had was at this little joint in the Bronx on City Island where I grew up. The pizzeria was called….drumroll please….”The Pizza Place.” Hey nobody ever said guineas were creative, either. A close second was Pugsley’s Pizza on 191st street right next to Fordham’s campus. A Richie Special (Slice, chicken roll, drink) for $5 still to this day could be the greatest drunk food I’ve ever had in my entire life. Plus they also had cheap pitchers of beer and the dude who ran the joint Sal was a weird bird and he used to let you go behind the counter and bang this enormous gong. It was really all about the ambiance if you ask me.
Anyway, I need to know from people who have been to Grimaldi’s if it is good enough to make an emergency voyage to Brooklyn before it closes
Vote 1 for its not that good Vote 10 for Grimaldi’s pizza is a must have and I need to get out there ASAP

pizzeria regina blows any other pizza joint out of the water, no questions asked.
Yo KFC, you keep up with the racial/ethnic insults and these bigots are going to start calling me Boy and the N-word….
Santarpios in East Boston. Game.Set.Match.
^^^^ I can’t believe I agree with BDEB…racial slurs in comments section = banned commenter…racial slur from poster = ????
Story was fine without it…unnecessary man.
Awesome stories today KFC. This one time me and my boy went to Village Fare in Brookline. I paid too much for a slice of shitty pizza. Oh yea and I was wasted at the time.
I’m sure there will be 1mm posts of the best pizza, but facts are facts. The best pizza of all time is:
Pepe’s Pizza, New Haven, CT
Ask the Food Network.
Sal was a weird bird and he used to let you go behind the counter and bang this enormous dong.
That would have been funnier.
Other pizza places can’t hold Pepe’s jock.
aintgotshitonboston…that’s funny
YO mooks need to try the baby pizza my boy makes, the shit is out of this world!
Go to DiFara’s in Brooklyn. Trust me.
Mooks?
papa ginos #1
with the 3rd slice
Ok, if your gonna try and say that a pizza place is bangin it better be in NYC…donkeypunch said: { Aug 11, 2010 – 02:08:56 }
Santarpios in East Boston. Game.Set.Match…Boston really everyone knows that Mass pizza or bagels are like eatin rubber compared to NYC…BillyBaroo the food network may talk about that shit your tryin to sling in CT but once again facts are New York pizza cant be compared to anythin its like comparing Joe Namath to Ryan Leaf there is just no competition
KFC there is a grimaldi’s in hoboken close to the Path.
I agree with Yankee Hater – DiFara’s in Brooklyn, also Joe and Pat’s on Victory Blvd in Staten Island and John’s on Bleecker.
no N-bombs allowed, but wops is cool? fuck your site, my kraut-mick friend.

Lebron is a lock to go to the Knicks because who doesn’t love NY, right? They have the best pizza and bagels! It’s the center of the fucking universe. If it exists outside the tri-state area it’s inferior.
Is this why all the girls in NY are so beefy?
NY= Good pizza + ugly, chubby chicks. Pass.
I didn’t ever say that but I agree with the comment if it exists outside the tri-state are it is inferior…and if its in PA its inferior too PA just sucks
Broadway Joe’s on 242nd & Broadway in the Bronx. One guy slingin pies looks like Seinfeld. Are these clowns serious saying CT pizza is “the best” in the world? What a joke.
it is worth the trip. end of story.
Di Fara’s Pizza in Midwood Brooklyn is by far the best pizza in NYC. It is one old bird slinging pies and he’s been doing it for years. Go there before he retires and or dies.
and im pretty sure grimaldis doesnt do slices but its been awhile since i been over there.
are you cunts arguing about pizza?
NJRV89,
I live in NYC and am on board for it being the mecca of pizza for the free world, but it all bows down to Pepe’s. Frank’s pies are boner-inducing. If erections last for longer than 4 hrs, consult a slam pig.
Where’s it at I gotta try this place
I like zee pizza from Sbarro!
Durk Diglur,
A Jewish guy slanging pizza in the Bronx? Weird.
The only way this is the “best pizza” in NYC is if i got a blow job from a lipstick lesbian in addition to my slice. Waiting in line for cheese, meat, and sauce for 45 mins – Hour is stupid
NJRV89,
Pepe’s? The one in New Haven, CT has been around for like 85yrs, but they just started opening other locations. Think there is actually a new one in Yonkers or something…
http://www.pepespizzeria.com/
I gotta try this Di Fara’s spot.
PASTY’S on 118th and 1st is the best pizza in the city without question!!….you want a square instead, maybe spumoni’s in BK …but fuck Grimaldi’s (even thought they did have a sick location near the bridge)
Patsy’s Pizza on 118th … if you have had it then there is no way you disagree, none
pepe’s has a place at the foxwoods/mgm or something now dont they?
Sals Pizza on Mamaroneck Ave in Mamaroneck is the ( . ) ( . ) s. Salad Slice son
Pepes in Yonkers is pretty good too if you don’t want to haul your ass up to New Haven
I waited out in the dumping down snow during last year’s blizzard for Grimaldi’s Za. They are so militaristic, they wouldn’t even let us wait in the empty doorway, instead outside on the street while it dumped snow on us. In the end, it was NOT worth the wait.
Lucali in Carroll Gardens much better and you can take in your own booze. Also have heard Di Fara is the real deal.

Sal’s sicilian fucking rocks any other, hands down.
Billy Baroo, 242nd Street and Broadway in the Bronx is one of the most Jewish neighborhoods in existence. Riverdale man. Although broadway is a bit down the hill…
Di Fara’s pie is way better than Grimaldi’s. Motorino in Williamsburg is good too.
Pepe’s and Sal’s Apizza are so good because of the ancient brick ovens they cook them in, I’d be worried that any expansion retaurants wouldn’t really capture the flavor of the originals.
sorry, should say Sally’s Apizza, also in New Haven
i second Quest on spumonis
Joran Vander Cunt, you can never ever be taken seriously agian after saying sbarro’s in a “best pizza” conversation. Unless you were joking.
I am 100 percent Italian, i prefer grease ball to guinea…not that guinea is offensive, it just doens’t sound as funny!
pizza gruppo
bob and timmy’s in providence
Child please Boston! You cannot compete with a place like L&B Spumoni Gardens in BK.
Pepe’s pizza is by far the best pizza I have ever had in my life. The second best would have to be the original Regina’s in Boston. Everything else is a distant third.
Unfortunately, the price of a Rich special has skyrocketed to $7 at Pugsley’s. Still one of the best drunk eats available in the country though. University Pizza across the street from good ole FU makes a mean buffalo chicken slice as well.
Park Pizza and Ozone Park Pizza…..a third would be Bianci’s in Revere
