Only reason it got 4 stars is because the service was very slow. We were the first ones and only ones for about 30 min there. It took us about 40 min to get our food and the sever wasn't every present. But that FOOD THOUGH! Worth. The. Wait!! It was amazing. The kids did get pizza dough to play with which was cute! The pizza was cooked to perfection and everyone devoured it. Location is in such a good spot with tons of things to do around it. Inside was romantic read more

I came to Grimaldi's for what I expected to be a quick lunch, when shopping around the Domain. They're now serving slices during lunch time between 11 am - 3 pm, so this seemed like a great idea since I didn't feel like getting a whole pizza pie. Heads up, I downgraded my rating because the service has diminished since my last visit. I sat out on the patio because it was a gorgeous day, and looked through the menu and ordered water to start. After a while, I asked about the pizza slices for lunch because I couldn't find it on the menu. The hostess or someone else ended up bringing me the lunch menu. I seemed to be the only person sitting outside on the patio, but there were barely any servers coming outside to take my order or check in. After 15 mins, a server came out and asked if my order had been taken yet. I pointed at the slice + salad + iced tea/soda on the menu and said I'd take that option & the server said I could get up to 3 toppings. I placed the order, and waited 20+ mins for my food (no one checking in on my table whatsoever). I was sitting there with my water, and about to leave because it was taking so long for a slice + salad. Finally my slice came out, and the server was like, "they didn't bring out your salad?" I shook my head no, and he apologized and said he'd go get it. Salad came about 10 mins later. Food wasn't as good as my last visit either, but this could have been due to my topping combination on the pizza. Check came, and i was charged more than what the menu stated for the slice and salad combo. I was fed up at this point because of the long waits to get service (order taken, food, and check). I should have checked the receipt before handing my card, but like I mentioned I was rather frustrated and wanted to leave. I didn't realize the $ difference until I was about to sign, and of course, a server is nowhere to be found. Overall, because I hadn't ordered the soda/iced tea, they were itemizing my order; I understand this is partly my mistake bc I didn't order a soda, however, my main complaint is the lack of service for the entirety of the meal, because it was hard to get anyone to come out to my table at all. Had I realized, I would have ordered the additional drink to my water to get the combo pricing. I was asking for the adjustment of the check, but they ended up comping the slice and salad, hence 3 stars. It'll probably be some time before I decide to come back because of the lackluster service received this visit. read more

Ambiance: the decor and music were just right for an Italian meal. Service: I don't remember our waiters name but he was very polite and always came back around to see if we needed anything and to fill our drinks. Food: We ordered pepperoni pizza, the don pizza and a margarita pizza and they all were absolutely delicious and flavorful! The pizzas were thin and crust was cooked with just the right amount of charbroiled flavor! Super tasty! read more

As someone that comes from New York, their service is super slow. They sat us down. We waited 15 minutes and no one came to even offer us water. We ended up leaving. the place wasn't even packed. They were on their slow day! if you guys are going to Claim to be like New York act like it! We are fast and we don't let our customers sit for a long period of time read more

Good atmosphere - watching the kitchen as they toss the dough in the air is still quite entertaining. Pizza was delicious and salad was great. On a Saturday, early afternoon - the restaurant was not crowded, and staffing levels appeared adequate for the crowd size. The guy busing tables never stopped moving, cleaning or smiling. Our server was very different - I don't know if she was tired or just plain didn't care. at almost $100 for lunch (2 of us and I don't drink) I had expected the service to be as good as Grimaldi's has been at other locations. that service never happened. She seemed to think she was doing us a favor to actually (finally) take the order. I don't want to be catered to every minute but I don't like to be ignored - actually heard a similar complain about the server from other diners. it will be a very long time if I ever go back to this location - seriously the pizza is good, but get it to go read more

I've been searching for the best pizza in Austin and I think I've found it! I'd heard so many good things about their other locations in San Antonio, TX & NYC, but this one is local so I had pretty high expectations. They definitely did NOT disappoint. When we walked in, we were immediately impressed with the classic Italian pizzeria aroma, which lots of places are missing. Table decor has the classic white/red checkered table cloths. The staff are friendly and then to top it off, the pizza is INCREDIBLE!! I'm a big fan of thin and crispy crust pizza and this is exactly that. The pizzas are ready SO fast! Less than 10 minutes after we ordered. Just a note to all the basic b*tches (like myself), they do NOT carry ranch, and may even get offended when you ask. So either BYOR or just enjoy the authentic flavors!! read more

Grimaldi's Pizzeria - Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

Grimaldi's Grimaldi's...ate here for to-go once and then again with my sister in location. First, if you want pizza to-go here during 3:00PM and 4:00PM it's probably not happening... the first time I went here for to go was around 3:40PM and I was told that they were 'enriching' or some other term I've not really heard at a pizza place and that there is no to-go during this period...this info not on their website... so I went elsewhere. The second time I came back was at 2:50PM and after the week before just being told that this period was 3 PM to 4 PM, I was told at 2:50 PM that day that the pizza was not available to go. after politely explaining to the manager that this is not what I was told the first time I came for to-go, and it is clearly before 3:00PM, she relented and allowed me to order two pizzas to go. The pepperoni and red onion was delicious . The sauce was great and the crust was very thin style and cooked perfectly. I also ordered the barbecue chicken pizza and it was also very good, however the barbecue sauce was a little too tangy for the rest of the ingredients on the pie. Now, I'm a true Texan and I love tangy barbecue sauce, but this just didn't fit. 'Spicy/sweet' would be better adjectives for a BBQ chicken pizza, not 'tangy'. Returning with my sister a couple of weeks later, we ordered the pepperoni and hot honey add red onion and the white pesto pizza. Both outstanding. Service was friendly and good and efficient . The location at the domain is very nice. It's clean. It looks very New York and is often busy and buzzing with happy people eating lunch or dinner. Lastly, the only complaint I have is the cost of the pies...12" is $30.... So by the time you finish ordering two pizzas and drinks - not even alcohol - it's $80....ouch. Nothing like having a good meal and then having buyers remorse for your wallet after you leave realizing you just had a few pieces of pizza.... So that's why Grimaldi's gets four out of five stars. The pizza is great but get ready for your wallet to be pimped. read more

This is some damn good pizza at this cute New York style pie joint. The host was very nice too! I just love when the food and service are both quality. Job well done y'all ! I'll be back (: read more

I've had better pizza at a shop across the gay club. This place is on the pricier side, and it's like $4 per topping. I don't mind paying the extra money, but I'd expect it to taste a lot better. Good ambiance. Staff was nice. I wouldn't give it a second try. 2 stars. read more

Extremely horrible service. I think we saw our server once. We ordered a salad with our food, never got it. Luckily we weren't charged for it. Food was pretty good but it took forever to come out and we only got 2 12" pizzas. We went on a Saturday and the place was not that busy. No reason for such horrible service. We will never be going back. read more

Too expensive for what you get! The crust was not cooked evenly all away around the pie.

Finally. It's here. I've been to a number of Grimaldi's in other parts of the country. I remember talking with the manager in San Antonio a few years ago. He said they had been trying to open an Austin location for a few years. And it is finally here. First, lets talk about stoking their wood/charcoal fired oven. I haven't read the reviews yet for this location (so I don't know if there such reviews here). But... every afternoon from about 3 to 4 pm. they stop making pizzas to stoke the oven. This kind of oven is an important part of the magic of their pizzas. A sneaky trick... Arrive while the oven is being stoked and advance order your pizza. We ordered an antipasto (not salad) that came with little slices of italian bread, chopped fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, olives, fresh basil, and olive oil and balsamic on the side. I loved it. We ordered a 12 inch Margherita pizza with italian sausage - also great. I love the charred but soft crust, the fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella.... all of it. I do not recommend delivery (just my opinion). Some of the magic to me is when its fresh out of the oven. Anyway.... so glad to have a Grimaldi's finally in Austin. I wish it was closer to Cedar Park/Leander. But this will do nicely. Good service and atmosphere. They are a little pricey, but worth it. read more

Grimaldi's Pizzeria - Margherita Pizza (12") with Italian Sausage - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is the Austin branch of what it is now an awesome pizza chain with the original taste and quality. I trained for 3 years in the Bronx and learned about the original Grimaldi's from locals and ever since I loved it!!! Probably the best pizza I have ever had! Pepperoni pizza with fresh basil and no more ingredients. Too many topics don't go well with this pizza. It is baked in a brick oven and it is very thin and crunchy, very special tase! I just love it!!! I am super happy they opened in Austin, I used to go to San Antonio for whatever reason just to go to Grimaldi's, now it is right here in the Domain. The caprese salad is also very good! Going back tonight! To break 48h of fasting in a delicious manner! read more

If you are looking for a similar pizza to the one served at Grimaldi's in Brooklyn, you are in luck. This pizza tasted similar to what I remember eating at their location under the Brooklyn Bridge in Brooklyn. We ordered a margherita pizza and a regular pizza. I have not been a fan of Grimaldi's because I liked other pizzas better. But if you like their pizza in Brooklyn, you will be happy with their pizza in Austin. My wife's son said that the pizza tastes great and had good char. We ordered it well done. He wants to return to the restaurant. My wife received a free giant salad because we signed to their rewards program. She said that the salad was really great. As for my soft drink, the waiter was nowhere to be found. I found him after nearly ten minutes and had to remind him to fill my soda. He did return quickly with a refill. The air conditioning was not very good. It was kind of warm inside (before noon). read more

First time eating at Grimaldi's. Easy to find location in the Domaine, with plenty of parking/garage very slight walking distance. Cute place with red & white checkered table cloths, and great decor. Every employee that made contact with me was genuinely kind. Ordered a small Caesar salad, plenty for two of us! The pizza was on point. Would definitely go back for an evening meal. We were there for lunch 12:30ish, not busy at all... read more

(4/5) FIRST TAKE - Eating at the domain can become a bit aggravating. Parking to find out there's a 1 hour & 45 minute wait, to now have to find something to do before you can eat is mind numbing, but Grimaldis from what I've experienced gets you seated and fed right away, kinda like if you're visiting you're Italian Uncle Jimmy from Brooklyn. Each table is covered with the classic red and white checkered table cloth, giving it that traditional Italian feel. The staff here is very helpful--we were greeted by the GM, I believe his name was Chase who said he was filling in from San Antonio, but based on our experience, I might even try these guys out next time I'm in SA. FEASTING - My guests and I ordered two salads to start things off. The Caprese was fresh and had the perfect touch of olive oil and pepper. Very fresh basil and the tomatoes were sliced just right. Sometimes they can be to thin which just leaves a runny mess, but these were perfect (3.5/5). The star of the show was the Lemon Arugula salad! Listen, jus do it! It's packed with flavors and if I would have known better, I would have skipped the Caprese and gone with the large Arugula salad to accompany the pizza. But actually, who am I kidding, I need both and so do you (5/5)! Finally, The Don! I added mushrooms and red onions to mine but I think even without the pizza was just fine! The crust was cooked perfectly, a little char but not burnt, and the sauce to topping ratio was outstanding. These guys do it right! (4/5). PRO TIP - The only downfall is these guys only have 3 TVs, so not a great place to watch a game if that's what you're looking for, but if you insist, sit at the seat yourself bar seating. There's a large TV and if you're nice to the bartender, they might even turn the volume on the TV up just a bit for you to here the game! read more

Everything was excellent the food, ambience and service. Every time we go to Austin we make sure to stop by for some good pizza.

I've always been a fan of NY-style pizza; I especially enjoy it when I'm in NYC.  The last time I was there I read about the Grimaldi's chain on Yelp but I didn't have time to get to one of their locations.  Flashing forward to now, I noticed that Grimaldi's has a location right here in Austin, so I set out to pay them a visit. After consulting our waitress for recommendations, my friend and I decided to share a Calzone and a pizza.  Here's the 411 from our order: - A small (sixteen inch) regular pizza, with pepperoni, sun-dried tomatos, fresh garlic, and Italian sausage. - A personal size calzone with pepperoni and meatballs; apparently all of their Calzones automatically include Ricotta cheese. Let's talk about the best first - the Calzone was the highpoint of our meal.  It's hard to find words to describe exactly how good that ricotta cheese tastes when you take your first full bite.  The dough and the fillings complement each other perfectly, and the additional subtlety and flavor added by the pepperoni and meatballs brought the overall taste profile up several notches. While the Calzone was our favorite, their pizzas are exceptional as well.  Grimaldi's crust is quite a bit thinner than traditional NY style pizza, but it's unquestionably Legit based on it's size, texture, and shape.  The quality of the toppings we tried was all first-class; the cheese was gooey and delicious; I particularly enjoyed how the flavors of our chosen toppings blended together perfectly.  Despite the crust's thinness, it stood up to the additional toppings we chose with fabulously. Summary: Grimaldi's makes some of the best NY-style pizza I've enjoyed anywhere outside of NYC, and their Calzones are simply amazing!  I won't hesitate to return here or try another link in the chain. read more

Cute cafe style pizza restaurant. Service was slow, and it took quite a while to get our pizzas. The pizzas are wonderfully thin crusted. Toppings on the "Don" and the "Garden Pesto" pizzas were tasty. Mojito was disappointing. read more

Grimaldi's Pizzeria - Tables - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

TL;DR: don't waste your time or money on this particular location whether it's dine-in or delivery. You'll be incredibly disappointed. I very rarely leave one-star reviews. However after my third experience wanting to love Grimaldi's in the domain recently, I can say it's only gotten worse each time. They're severely understaffed at all times, it seems. Nobody even acknowledges people walking in to be seated. I'm not even referring to the small party I was with, but everyone. Hostesses/waitresses walk right past everyone and proceed to serve the seated tables for 15-20 min without so much as a word to those waiting (I get that you're "busy" - maybe 25% of tables have been full every time I've been in, but ok,.. but a quick "we'll be with you as soon as we can" goes a long way - I worked in the service industry for many many years and found it really odd that their staff doesn't even speak to people unless forced to) Don't even think about ordering from Uber eats or DoorDash or any delivery service from here. The pizzas are soggy, cold, stuck to the box, and completely inedible upon delivery. I don't place the blame entirely on the restaurant here, but come on. If you're in a location in the domain where there's zero decent parking and a driver probably has to circle around for 15 min to park and get the order, you'd think the restaurant wouldn't make it and let it sit for 30 min. Anyway, staff 2/10, food, 1/10. Huge disappointment all the way around. And finally, if you've had pizza in New York, literally ever... this ain't it. I wanted to love it so much because I'm a pizza junkie. But this place is so poorly run and the pizza just ends up being so gross and sad recommendations for great NYC style pizza? read more

While shopping in the area we stopped in for a quick bite to eat. Around 12:30 on a Saturday- there was no wait! The service was good and the food came out fast. It's a cool spot to eat at if you like pizza. The pizza is good, could use just a little more sauce I'd recommend asking for extra if you like a traditional amount of sauce. Overall the food was decent enough and was fast so I would say that it's worth the visit! Located in a main spot of the shopping area so it's conveniently located. read more

Grimaldi's Pizzeria - Pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

Quick review for Grimaldi's Pizzeria place today, we thought we might have shown up a bit to early for the pizza over the coal raking cycle, but we got lucky and temp was back up speed for pizza cooking. Check the website and they list the times they can't cook pizzas. Server and staff were very nice, the salad was good, could have used a better mix of the extras for the house salad, but we liked it and the dressing. The Pizza was thin crust, had great flavor and the sauce had a tad bit of spicy and great flavor. The gave us a fair amount of toppings and the copart and I were happy chopping down and people watching from the patio. Now why they didn't have pineapple.. sniff sniff, but oh well pizza can't always be perfect ! Over all very happy with the place and staff !! I would come back again next time I am in the domain area shopping !, read more

Love this place. Y'all really know how to make service excellent. Food is great too. Will be back for sure.

Love everything about it!! The service is awesome and the food is always great! Highly recommended

Been wanting to go to this NYC style pizza place for a while. Finally gave it a try. I mean it was ok place. We went there and they told us their oven isn't working so pizza will take forever to come out. Secondly our server was brand new so he didn't know what he was doing. Not his fault but when you visit domain, you expect top notch service. We ordered 3 types bruschetta, salad and pizza of course. Food was fine but nothing to rave about. It's nyc style but you could go over to home slice and get the best nyc style pizza for half the price. Over all it was fine. I just don't see myself coming back. read more

Grimaldi's Pizzeria - Half pepperoni & mushroom / cheese - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

You will wait AN HOUR for your pizza (I timed it) if you dine in, as they serve the takeout orders of people living in the domain first. Took my son, food was okay for a chain, pizza isn't bad. But seriously, drive out of the domain over to Desano's on Burnet Rd, which has better pizza (very similar styles) and it comes out in like 10 minutes. Sorry, but won't ever return. Had we known it would have been an hour we would have never stayed. read more

Always enjoy pizza from here. Portion sizes are huge. Outdoor seating is covered. Staff could be more attentive at times.

Some of the best pizza I've had in Austin. Our waitress was very sweet but they do seem to be slightly understaffed. The wait was to get seated and for the pizza to come out was quite long; it was a good thing the pizza was worth the wait. We got the garden pesto pizza which was very fresh and flavorful, and the dough was perfectly cooked. This location has indoor and patio seating. read more

Grimaldi's Pizzeria - Garden pesto pizza - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have tried to eat there FOUR times since they've opened at The Domain. Every time, most of their tables are empty, inside and out on the patio, but they still say it will be at least a 30-minute wait. I'm not waiting that long in a mostly empty restaurant. Not trying again. At this rate they probably won't be there much longer anyway. No restaurant that's paying Domain rent can afford to be constantly 2/3 empty and turning people away. read more

An almost ridiculous experience. Went in for the lunchtime "super slice" special. Asked for a slice with extra cheese and was met with confusion and anger. Menu offers 20+ toppings, but was informed that the kitchen was "not equipped" to put extra cheese on a slice. The result? A dry slice with no flavor. I did enjoy watching the wait staff congregate around the kitchen in hopes that the customers would just leave. So we did. read more
