Grimaldi's Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great place! The pizza was really good.. love the new york style pizza! Great service as well.

It was a little over 10 years ago that I first visited a Grimaldi's. It just happened to be the original under the Brooklyn Bridge and it was a pleasant experience. I enjoyed the pie, interior decor and feel of the restaurant. Since then, while I haven't revisited that location, I have dined at a few of their other locations. Yesterday was my first time here. I was surprised that the restaurant was so empty when I walked in shortly after noon. There were maybe 10 diners inside so it was easy to get a table. This restaurant is decorated like all of the others (including Brooklyn) with all of the NYC pictures of The Big Apple and celebrities. After all what would an Italian restaurant be without pictures of Frank, Dean, Sammy, etc? What would an Italian restaurant be without those named celebrities and others singing Italian songs? Their spirits must see this and wish they could get royalties from all of this exposure...or at least some free food! That first time in Brooklyn, I thought the pictures and music were unique to that restaurant. Now I realize it's just regular restaurant chain decor. However, the intent is to transport you to NYC with the pictures and music and it succeeds, I guess. This transportation to NYC is validated when perusing the menu and seeing the NYC prices too. I ordered the Garden pizza which is basically a veggie pie with Roma tomatoes, onions, mushrooms and olives. The pizza took about 15-20 minutes to come out. I like New York thin crust pizza along with a slightly burned bottom which is what they serve here. My slices were very good in taste with the toppings being flavorful. It was a quality pizza. Table service was very good. The menus here are limited to pizza, calzone and salad. No pasta here! I will give a 4 for this meal because Grimaldi's serves a quality pizza. Yes it's a little pricey but remember you are in New York. Walking out of the restaurants' door, I then happily returned to Houston. read more

Grimaldi's Pizzeria - The Garden Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Houston, Texas

This Grimaldi's location is at City Centre and just a short walk from the parking garage. The atmosphere is the same as the other Grimaldi's with slightly dimmed lighting and wine bottle lights hanging from the ceiling, with framed photos of Marilyn Monroe on the wall. My group of four were greeted and seated upon entrance and we ordered a large 18" white pizza with garlic and ham. This is my go-to pizza whenever at Grimaldi's although I know there are so many more combos I can create. The pizza crust here was what I expected as it carried the same thickness across the entire pie. The cheese on our pie was much less than what we've previously gotten at another location and the taste was less apparent. Not sure if it was because of the amount of cheese or the garlic. Service was standard. Might be back when in the mood for pizza whilst shopping City Centre. read more

I love Grimaldi's!!! The Don with ricotta cheese is my favorite! The cheesecake is pretty good too! I love coming here. So worth it!! read more

I'm so very disappointed to write this review especially reading all of the good reviews about this restaurant. Ordered from DoorDash. Got the pizza two hours later the poor driver said he had to wait a whole hour over there for them to get the pizza ready. The pizza arrived as cold as ice The cheese was absolutely awful Looked like dried up glue and had the same consistency. The pizza crust was very thin and burnt not at all what I was expecting. This is my first time ordering from this pizza place and definitely the last read more

Incredibly disappointing! My daughter called ahead to ask if we could sit outside with our dog. They said that was fine and didn't mention a time their pizza oven shut down.... it is a pizzeria. ( no "non" pizza times on the door either) We drove to the restaurant, waited for a parking spot just before 2:45, entered the restaurant at 2:50. After asking for a table they told me they would NOT make pizza after 3:00, it was 2:50. I felt the manager was rude and unaccommodating too. He also could have cared less if I wrote this review. So if I was you I would find a different pizza spot. With service like this they will probably be out of business anyways. read more

Great food, W service, and pretty chill atmosphere. One of the best pizza places in Texas!

We stopped by today to have a family dinner. Came in and asked for a table for 9. We were told there would be a bit of a wait. No problem. Finally we were sat down and a few minutes later were asked to leave the table because they had a reservation and had messed up. The manager, Kendra, was absolutely dismissive and unapologetic. We used to love this place but feel completely disrespected and disappointed with the service. read more

All of the pizzas were burnt. When we asked them to remake one that wasn't salvageable, the manager told us that the cauliflower crust and too many vegetables were the cause. The two pictures I'm posting are of a different pizza with only pepperoni and jalapeños. The other one is regular crust. Obviously the toppings weren't the problem. read more

A cool new find with delicious coal brick oven pizza in City Centre. Very friendly staff seated my party and explained the options of pizzas. Restaurant offers three different pizza crusts, three sizes -- small, medium, and large, with separate individual toppings charges. There is a bar on one end and one private room with an open door on the opposite side behind the hostess stand. The restaurant faces the street. It's next door to West Elm and Eddie V's. There is a parking garage directly across the street. 0-3 hours is $6 and upwards with additional time. There was a couple of signs posted: free parking for Town and Country patrons and the second on the ground next to the parking arm displayed the charges. Since it's City Centre I figured the payment sign is the updated one. The pizza takes 15 to 20 minutes and is displayed on a steel pizza stand with a large spatula. We opted for half and half with no extra charge. I chose the veggie style with added artichokes and the other half was pesto and Italian sausage. It was very good. As always, my side had burned crust, but the opposite escaped the char. It didn't change the flavor as I just pulled it off. It is a nice family restaurant with TVs inside as well. I will definitely return. read more

The wait it soooo long, the guy got our drink order and never came back we didn't see him ever after that. Took about 15 minutes for drinks, 37 for salad, & 56 for pizza. I really hope they fire this guy. read more

This is simply the best pizza in Houston. Don't order delivery or to go, you have to eat this pizza directly out of the oven in the restaurant. Multi bene! read more

I love this place, the pizza is fantastic. You can order pre arranged pizza with toppings, or go with the traditional in different sizes starting with 12" then 16" etc and request whatever toppings you like. If you're not on the same page with your dinner date, you can request half your choices and half theirs. I go with the Italian sausage and mushroom and meatball on the other side yummmmmmm. Do be aware that before dinner, maybe around 5ish they shut down the brick oven to clean and prepare it for dinner and you'l not be able to order for a good long while. read more

I ordered on their website a 12" traditional pizza and a 16" 1/2 vegetarian and 1/2 meat lovers pizza. The halves are entered on the website by left side and right side topping entries. Imagine my disappointment when two cold cheese pizzas were picked up. I've lived in City Center for 6 years and have loved Grimaldi's over the years. Jeff as managers says the pizzas are prepared just as they appear on their website. In other word it's my fault. Guess what Jeff, I'm not ordering Grimaldi's anymore. My wife and I both checked our order before submitting. Blaming the customer for user error is never a good idea during a pandemic when every restaurant is fighting for customers and survival. read more

Delicious Pizza! My wife and I loved the food, great music, the place is lovely. The Insalata caprese is incredible. The restaurant is Very clean and the staff is exceptional. read more

Our hostess wasn't too great but our server made up for that. I think she was annoyed because I chose to sit somewhere else where it wasn't too crowded (kids) and she was yanking the wine glasses outta my hand as I was trying to pass them to her to collect. Pizza was thin but had good flavors, the kids loved it and actually wanted to eat more despite the size of each slice. Our server informed us of the happy hour special, which wed were in luck because we made it in time. Otherwise the drinks were kinda pricy ($11 but thanks to HH -$3). We ended up ordering the holiday specials, the mule and sangria. My favorite was the mule because of the ginger soda but both were great choices thanks to our server. Would definitely try it out again! read more

The wait time is always about an hour and the prices are $$ but best pizza and calzone around. We always get take out parking isn't great but running in quick for take out is easy. Meatball calzone was fantastic last time. read more

The pizza smells better than it tastes, which was so disappointing to find out. It's a decent pizza place but the crust is rather tough and flavor isn't good enough to crave. read more

My first visit to this establishment in City Centre. Silly me thinking I was early by arriving when they opened to obtain a parking space. After driving around three times I lucked up and found one across the street from the restaurant. The lady at the bar was friendly as well as the manager on duty. The atmosphere was inviting. My $67 pizzas weren't as good as I hoped for the price. It will be my first and final visit Thanks for the experience and all the best. read more

I love Grimaldis. I would say it's my favorite pizza place. I have gone to several Grimaldis locations on several occasions, and I never leave disappointed (except for a few minor instances, but due to service and not food.) Whenever I go with my boyfriend, we order antipasto and a large pizza with spicy chicken sausage for the topping. On our most recent trip, we got our usual and also ordered a Blue Moon and I got a red sangria, which I always enjoy. All the food was good. The antipasto comes with mozzarella, bread, bell peppers/garlic, olives, and basil; it's always fresh and really good. As for the pizza, it was also good; the spicy chicken sausage can get pretty spicy (which I love), but I wouldn't recommend to people who are sensitive to spice. Something cool that Grimaldis does as well is give you a free pizza on your birthday! You just need to sign up for their rewards program. read more

Excellent pizza. Ordered for pickup. Tastes sooo good - even cold . I don't eat it as much as I'd Li because it's a bit pricey, but it's worth it. read more

Love Grimaldis, always have gone there, since we lived in San Antonio. I prefer NY style pizza and Grimaldis is the best!

My family is from Naples Italy. Where pizza Margherita was first created. Grimaldis is the best I have had in Houston. Better than Pizaro's Pizza and their's is very good too. read more

Grimaldi's makes me happy. The service is very much what you expect from some place that falls in this price range. It's a tier above RA imo and a grade below what one may expect when they hear Eddie V's (though imo it's several notches above what I've ever experienced at Eddie V's) but I digress. I will keep this one short and simple: Food: 98 Service: 94 Drinks: My nieces loved their lemonades and they are harsh critics so I imagine it's pretty amazing. I just keep coming back for their apps and pizzas!!! read more

This is officially my fav pizza place! Ordered pizza and salads for take out. Website said to would be ready in an hour and fifteen min but I called to confirm and was told it would be more like 35 min. Parked nearby easily. Went to pick it up 35 min later and it was ready. Friendly and attentive right when I arrived. Food was so fresh and delicious! I will definitely be back. I want to try dining in next time. read more

I'm traveling the country in my RV and tried pizza everywhere. I had the Don. It was spectacular. Top tier pizza. The meats where delicious and fresh. Crust was thin and crispy just how it should be. If you are in Houston and craving a good, quality thin crispy pizza. Go to Grimaldi's read more

Absolutely AWFUL experience. I can't speak on the quality or taste of the food because we never received it. The female bartender with glasses treated us awful and didn't want to give us the time of day. We are very generous tippers and not usually ones to complain - very patient and understanding, but this was unacceptable. I got yelled at for wanting to cancel my pizza after it was not out for 45 minutes, no drink refills the entire time, bartenders, waiters and managers walked off in the middle of my sentences, I could go on and on. It was also quite evident that we weren't the only ones that were frustrated. I will absolutely NOT be back and would not recommend to anyone. If you are looking for a nice laid back place to eat, DO NOT go to Grimaldi's. I relayed this information to my family who lives in The Woodlands and are regulars at this restaurant. They agree the service and quality of food has declined substantially. The guy with the curly hair running up and down the stairs that greeted us was really nice, but that's the only good thing that I can say about this experience. read more

I confess that I came here because I got a free birthday pizza, but would have gladly paid for such an amazing experience. It is located in Citycentre, and it was a post- workout meal. The free birthday pizza is a 16in with one topping, but I paid extra to get 3 toppings instead. We ordered the traditional pizza with spicy chicken sausage, mushrooms and onions. It wasn't a long wait and the pizza was huge! We shared amongst 3 of us, which was 2 slices each. Toppings were delicious and crust was crunchy. Center of the pizza was a bit soft though so it doesn't hold its shape. Regardless, flavors were on point. After I finished my 2 big slices, I bullied my little sister into letting me take more bites out of her slice by pulling the birthday card. She gave in of course. Finished the meal with a tiramisu, which was also yummy. Service was friendly and quick. I can see myself coming here more often to render my workouts useless, but it's all worth it! read more

So disappointed! waited at the bar for over 45 minutes for a traditional 12" pizza. The bartender went to check on the order at around 40 minutes and reported back that it was in the oven. I was served a cold round slab of cardboard with stiff dried cheese and dried up hint of sauce! Bartender was so busy with take out I had to ask for silverware and no oregano or hot pepper in site. This is what happens when a restaurant turns into a chain and the kitchen crew doesn't feel the love! I expressed my displeasure and the bartender vanished. I still left her a good tip! it's the management that needs improvement! In NYC people have gone missing for lesser crimes! read more

Good but nothing like it's NYC stores ! Wasn't crispy enough for me amd the topping were hard to see let alone r taste them!

We went back for our company Christmas party and it went great. We had great service and great food
