We loved everything about this place! Ben, our server, what can I say; spectacular! He was so excited that it was our first time and walked us through the whole menu, gave us suggestions and was so fun to just chat with. He was busy, section was full and still took time to b.s with us and genuinely cared. Food- WOW! We had the Caesar salad and antipasto to start. The Caesar dressing is homemade and the antipasto platter with the bread is absolutely delicious. The bread is so good by itself and even better with the toppings on it with some olive oil. We had The Don pizza and added ricotta. Sooo good, rich and creamy and cooked perfect. Everyone was nice, the restaurant was hopping and we can't wait to go back! Thank you to everyone for a fun Friday night out. See you soon!! read more

I really wanted to enjoy this meal, but unfortunately it missed the mark especially for the price. We ordered an 18" pizza, half pepperoni and black olives and half pepperoni with hot honey. The pizza arrived overcooked and lacked flavor overall. The cheese was hardened, not melted. The crust was overly crisp, and the toppings didn't stand out the way you'd expect. To make matters worse, the total came to just over $40 for the pizza and one soda. The soda itself tasted very watered down, which only added to the disappointment. At that price point, I expect noticeably better quality and attention to detail. I don't mind paying premium prices for great food, but this experience didn't justify the cost. This was not my first time at this location, but the first time it's disappointed me. read more

Was looking for a pizza spot to come to and we decided on Grimaldi's, I hadn't been here in a really long time but I remember the pizza being good, so we decided to give it a try. I had higher expectations honestly, it wasn't necessarily bad but I don't think it was the best. For some reason the sausage tasted kind of off, and the bruschetta wasn't all that great either. I would get something different if I ever decided to come again. The service wasn't bad though so no complaints there. read more

Came for lunch. The lunch special on yelp says $9.99 but it's $10.99- no big deal. But it's really only the cheese pizza not any other unless you pay more . The server only came to take my order, never saw them again. The managers were just standing around talking. read more

Food - Great. Service - Not so great. Came here for dinner on a Saturday around 8pm. The host was not very friendly and was saying things to us really low while looking away from us. We needed to ask 3 times what was said because we could not hear her. When we were seated, it took about 10 minutes for our server to come over and ask us if we wanted anything to drink. The pizza took about 15-20 minutes to finally get to our table and we were not checked on once during that time. When the food finally got to the table, we did not see our server for the rest of the time. We had to flag down another server to finally get the check. I have been to other locations, like one in Vegas and had a much better experience. I will not be back to this location unless I am ordering to go. read more

Came back to this Grimaldi's after a couple of years and the service has improved by leaps and bounds but the cleanliness of the place is still something that needs to be addressed. The layer of dust that is present in this place is concerning.... as much as the fact that San Antonio Health Department gave them a 97 with the level of dust that is present over the diners tables. read more

Cozy nice atmosphere. Very urban Italian looking, good for a first date. Private room available for groups Seating inside and outside Seats were padded though the booth was best, Good thing because the pizza Took a while and they had to remake my hubbys pizza which we never got to see. So I ended up eating alone while he sat and waited . Should have asked for the manager, at least get a free dessert ? Ended up boxing it up when It finally came Pizza was good esp with the garlic butter brushed on but not sure it's worth the asking price. My GF with pepperoni was $24 and it wasn't very big They do have Cauliflower crust btw A full bar Server was very nice and honest about the portions, which we appreciated Join the club and get a free appetizer read more

The restaurant is impeccably clean, even with its industrial, coal plant inspired aesthetic. It's unique and inviting. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The pizza is absolutely phenomenal; simple, fresh ingredients brought together perfectly and fired to perfection in a coal brick oven. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. read more

Came for lunch with the wife and a friend. We were sat down very quickly and got attended to. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure our questions were answered and drinks filled. Pizza took a minute to come out but was fresh made. All ingredients were full of flavor. The tiramisu we had for dessert was also very good. Came out a bit pricey but would recommend for the occasional fancy pizza spot. read more

Grimaldi's Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Had a miserable experience. To start, the food was excellent and the service was good. What made the experience miserable? Being convinced to sit outside. When we arrived with a large party, the hostess recommended we sit outside. We commented on the heat and we were told that the outside area was covered and had fans. She assured us it was very pleasant outside. It was most definitely not. The weather was hot and humid. The covering is so old and worn that it does not provide significant shading from the sun. Also, only one of the fans worked and it was not located near us. After sitting for about five minutes, I was being eaten alive by mosquitoes. Our table was right on top of a trench drain and looking down into it you could see the swarms of mosquitos. I asked if we could be moved and the receptionist did not seem at all receptive to the idea and told us it would be 1.5 hour wait. So we stayed and hated the experience. The pizza is good, as long as it doesn't have hair in it, but it is not cheap. It is very expensive as far as pizza goes, so it is a shame that we spent a lot of money for a miserable experience. Do I recommend going? Yes, but under no circumstances should you let them gaslight you I to sitting outside. read more

Haven't been to this location in about a year and love the 18" The Don pizza. Order to go yesterday and when I go home I was shocked at how little meat they put on the the pizza. I even ordered extra Italian sausage and literally could have held all the meat and cheese in one hand and room to spare. Actually now that I think about it I think they made me the wrong pizza. Nowhere close to The Don. I would like my money back please. These restaurants that think they can skimp are just fooling themselves. I'll never be back if I have a choice. Also, I just noticed the manager responds to negative reviews pretty much the same way but the negative reviews keep coming in. You have to change things, not just give a response. read more

Grimaldi's Pizzeria - Sausage, ricotta, and jalapenos spiced just right! - Pizza Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The pizza was delicious although they were a little stingy with the meat toppings. Honestly, the lemon arugula salad was the best I ever had. I gave this place 3 stars because there's not much of a selection for the appetizers only cold salads. No soups, garlic knots or anything gooey, cheesy or crispy!‍ I believe the hype has been exaggerated and they could do better. Although the pricing wasn't bad at all. read more

I love the thin crust -it's mighty tasty! The red sauce is just right, not too sweet, and the cheese is perfectly ooey-gooey without being overdone. The staff and service were excellent, and the atmosphere was surprisingly pleasant. Given the high, unfinished ceilings, I expected it to be unbearably loud, but it wasn't. My only complaint is that the toppings could be spread a bit more evenly. Some sections were lacking, but I get it--pizza making is more of an art than a science. If I wanted science, I'd go back to school, lol. Overall, great pizza! read more

I haven't been here in a while but I do remember it from my college years. My wife and our friends went to this place a few times and I do remember very well that our pizza was great and the ambiance was very homey.

I wasn't sure why Grimaldi's had such low ratings but now I know why. Very strange experience. It's lunch time, took me 32 minutes to get this one slice of pizza with olives thrown on top--wasn't isn't even cooked in with the cheese! Seemed as if they cooked the pizza and half way threw some olives on the slice and put it back in the oven for a minute or two. VERY disappointed. I'm a PIZZA person and this WAS NOT IT. Thankfully I wasn't on a time crunch, because the lunch time special that indicates it's "quick" was not represented. read more

The people working here are always so consistently kind and have given great service. The pizza here is absolutely amazing. I've eaten five slices In a row one time it's so delicious. The pizza is so consistent with its flavor each time I come here. Hands down, this is the best pizza I've ever had in my entire life. Nothing can top it for me. It's not too greasy, it's airy, cheesy, and it's perfect. It literally cannot be messed up. read more

I love the pizza here and how well it tastes. However, every time we have been here the service takes a long time. We even tried to order online just to see if there would be a difference however the wait time just for our food was even longer. We ordered a pizza at six and the estimated time for pick up was going to be 845. I remember I called the restaurant and I asked them if this was accurate, and they said yes. Luckily, I was issued a refund. I really like the feeling of this restaurant however service is always lacking. That's one of the biggest things that I don't like about coming to eat here, but I can't take away the great tasting pizza they have. The homey feeling here is always great. read more

Extremely poor service with the hostess. Those 2 young girls require training and customer service etiquette. The fact that they're talking about every customer that walks in and gossiping in front of the other customers is just terrible. What a shame bc the food is very good and our waiter Edwin deserves a raise. Phenomenal service he deserves 10 stars. Truthfully the low stars is due to the front of the house. It seems leadership is much needed read more

I ordered a Don on Sunday and it was the first pizza made. When it was delivered the pizza was uncooked in the center and all the toppings had fallen off. I spoke with the manager on duty who said it was the first pizza made that day and said he would refund my money but it never happened! There's 40 bucks thrown in the trash.... read more

The cook was making the pizza without any gloves. so incredibly unsanitary. Why would you not wear gloves when handling food?

I arrived to Grimaldi's to order a medium pepperoni pizza with extra cheese , a small house salad with ranch dressing, a small Sierra Mist and a cannoli to go. I paid upfront at the counter and was told that it would be ready in about 45 minutes. No biggie, not that long of a wait. So I decided to kill some time browsing around at the Trader Joe's nearby. Once I finished that, I went to go to my car to wait for a text or a call that my food was ready. Here's where things went wrong. By the time was up, I didn't get neither a text or a call that my order was ready so I went inside to show the hostess my receipt and my order had been ready. I asked her why I didn't get a call or a text and she said that they don't do that. Then the other hostess was struggling trying to find a straw for my soda. I drove home to eat my pizza and it was good but it wasn't hot enough. I'd recommend Grimaldi's only for dining in ,not take out. read more

this is my go to spot when I want a hankering for a true slice of authentic pizza ( i have other junk food pizza loves- haha). we love getting a big boy with black olives because the whole crew will eat it. the environment transports us to new york and allows us to have a good family night. they give the kids pizza dough to play with while they wait. read more

grimaldi's pizza stone oak location really dropped the ball today! this is the third time i've gone in there. and the pizza is so dry as they have reduced the sauce on the pizza to next to nothing. the table next to me asked for additional sauce and was trying to spread it onto their already cooked pizza because they were talking about how dry it was. i ordered a white garlic with jalapenos, so there isn't any red sauce on it, but rather white sauce and it was bone dry and the cheese was nonexistent. i remember in years past, how the cheese was thick and gooey, and that's just not happening today. why did the prices keep going up and the ingredients used and quality of the pie keep going down?!!! this was a major disappointment. read more

Never had a bad experience with the food but unfortunately this wasn't the first time we had bad service. Waitress took an eternity to come back and check on table for refills etc and food took about 45 minutes to arrive. I was disappointed and on top of it, took the balsamic and oil without asking when I was finally ready to use it. read more

This location is the closest to me but also the worst at online orders. I recommend just going to eat in person here and moving forward I will not order online. Online I set my pizza order for ASAP which said it would be 2 hours to make it and pick up. Which I don't mind because I truly enjoy their pizza. But the last two times, it's been horrible. This last time it was unacceptable all around and I will only be dining in and ordering to go somewhere else. Placed my order at 6:15pm and the pick up said 8:15. I go pick up my pizza and the person at the pick up station said my pizza had been ready since 7:30pm. Keep in mind when placing an order online they ask for your information. They could have email, called etc. nothing. Get home to a COLD pizza and it's missing toppings. Least they could do is cut it correctly. Half of the pizza was not cut and the other half was horribly cut. Big believer of try everything atleast twice but after twice of online ordering it has not been it. I will just dine in and even then when there not a two hour wait for dine in. read more

Second time going to this lake cation. First time about a month ago, they were out of ranch and took about 45 minutes to get our pizza Fast forward a month, today. Told us it would be 45 minutes to an hour to get pizza. That's fine I would enjoy a salad in the meantime. Guess what? They were out of lettuce. ROFL. Never going back. read more

Pizza haven! We had their The Don (which is the overload meat), classic Pepperoni with light sauce and the Margherita pizza. We also had their bruschetta which is somehow okay (expecting for a better bread used to it, but turns out still okay) . Then the highlight was the italian soda! It was a long wait at the time we were there (6pax). Even we are #1 on the waiting list since no table is available it still happens to be a 40-50mins wait. The service starts kind of off vibe and ends well. Still enjoy the food and the dim ambiance of the place. read more

It was a good pizza, but I have to downgrade my rating from "good" to "okay". Let me explain. I was craving pizza, and Grimaldi's was calling my name. I was looking up restaurants at the Alamo Quarry Market, and Grimaldi's had a location just on the other side of Basse. I was taking a walk around that other shopping center, called Quarry Village, before making my way to Grimaldi's. I saw a sign that said Grimaldi's To-Go, indicating that takeout orders were to be done at the counter below, which is where the bar is situated. Seems a little odd to be having the bartenders do double duty, attending to the patrons at the bar and serving the customers ordering to go. The line there was a little confusing because there was also a sign at the counter saying "Order & Pick Up To-Go", and there were two customers on either side of the counter. There was another customer standing behind one of those two customers, so it wasn't clear to me what they were in line for. Did one customer order and two were placing their orders? Did all three actually place their orders online, and they were waiting to pick them up? Another customer stepped in the longer line, and it made me think I should have stepped in that line instead. So I basically lost one position in line due to this confusion. Didn't waste much time, but still a little annoying. What was also annoying was that the menu wasn't posted at the To-Go counter. There was one on a window, so I had to take a photo of it before stepping in line. That way, I could study the menu, but it didn't tell me what exactly a traditional pizza is. Did it come with any toppings? As it turns out, no. It's not like MOD Pizza, Blaze Pizza, or Pieology where you can get unlimited toppings at no additional charge. At Grimaldi's, all toppings are an upcharge, and they vary from $2 to $5. Veggie toppings are more likely to be $2, but meat toppings are more likely to be $4. Anyways, I ordered the 12" Traditional Pizza with Italian Sausage and Green Peppers. The pizza base is $14, so I was looking at a $20 pizza with the upcharges from the toppings. Ilan (sp?), the bartender who took my order, asked for my first name, phone number, and then my last initial. First name, understandable. Phone number could be understandable until he told me Grimaldi's wouldn't text me when my order was ready, but he was happy enough to give me a call. But the last initial? Why? So they can tie orders to Yelpers like myself? lol Anyways, I took another walk around Quarry Village and just so happened to be standing close to Grimaldi's that when Ilan gave me the call that my pizza was ready to be picked up, I told him I'd be there in 5 seconds lol. After he gave me my pizza, he also offered crushed red peppers and parmesan cheese, which of course I happily accepted. When I returned to my hotel, I took out the box, but it looked like a cheese pizza with blobs of meatballs and red sauce scattered about. Where were the green peppers? I thought they would have been longer slices, but they were actually diced. Also, they skimped on the green peppers. I know it was only a $2 upcharge, but that was like 50 cents worth of green peppers right there. There was plenty more Italian Sausage, but hard to say if it really was $4 worth of Italian Sausage on my pizza. I enjoyed the thin Brooklyn-style crust of the pizza, but the crust was burnt in some places, making the $20+ pizza not so pleasant to eat at times. Also, some of the cheese peeled off of one of the last two slices as I was separating them. I'm not sure how that happened, but maybe the pizza wasn't cut that well? Overall, it was a good pizza, but I doubt it's the best Brooklyn style pizza in San Antonio, especially for the price point of the base pizza as well as the individual toppings. It would be cool if they opened a location in California, where I'm from, but I won't be rushing to try it again if they do. read more

Not good: pizza was more crust than toppings and it was cold when I picked it up at the restaurant. Take a look at the picture. We ordered the Brooklyn Bridge; the red peppers were not roasted, the ricotta was paper thin, and there was even less sausage. The crust was passable but stone cold. This pizza cost over $33.00 and I picked it up, so the cost was not inflated by delivery fees. Save your money: this pizza was awful. read more

We tried to reserve a table through their website and it wasn't working. Luckily, we were seated right away but it was a Tuesday night. I ordered a watermelon Italian soda and the first one had barely any syrup. It was more like a seltzer. The second one had enough syrup, but they are $4.50 each so I got charged nine dollars for soda water and syrup. The salads were delicious, but they didn't have a strawberry spinach salad. They didn't have the strawberries for it but they still charge me for the strawberry spinach salad, even though we had to change it to a lemon arugula salad. The $12 salad is the only reason I would go back it was delicious but I'm not sure to pay $12 because other places have $12 salads with the fruit that I wanted. We ordered a Brooklyn bridge calzone and she charged me eight dollars extra. $4 for red peppers and $4 for sausage. We all know a calzone is just equivalent of a pizza folded over. I don't know why I was charged half the price of the calzone in toppings. Plus, she didn't let us know that she was going to charge all that and she didn't let me know that she was going to charge me for a refill on the Italian soda. read more

I usually love grimaldi's but this past time left a bad taste in my mouth... we waited 1 hour and 15mins for our carryout order of one medium pizza and a large salad, which truly wasn't an issue... the issue was the rude service. When I told Arriah and madison, the two host that there was a mistake on my salad they responded unprofessionally and very disrespectful and then proceeded to get my order incorrectly again and then proceeded to let my correct salad to sit on the counter for more than 10 mins. I 100% was understanding that they were busy but the rudeness and unprofessionalism was not necessary. read more

I saw the three-star reviews but didn't believe it, as I remembered liking their pizza a few years ago. Since I was near there and was wanting a calzone, I ordered one and was NOT impressed. Whoever was making the calzones on Dec 4, 2024, at 6:30 p.m., at the Quarry location, you suck as a cook. It was horrible. And expensive. I did get the arugula lemon salad and that was good so glad they didn't mess up some greens with shaved cheese and a bit of dressing. Go elsewhere. Too expensive for the quality. read more
