Grimaldi’s Pizzeria

Incredible pizza. Pepperoni mushroom and sausage! Yummmm. Our server Britt was so good and helpful. Loved this place. We will be back.

Beautiful décor that is chic and at the same time very welcoming. Gorgeous pizza and wine. And great taste and thoughtfulness displayed by the staff. Definitely a wonderful dining experience!

My wife and I were in New York about a month ago and tried several pizza places while we were there. In comparison to New York pizza, this Grimaldi’s location was pretty good. We just ordered one pepperoni pizza and that was plenty to feed four of us. I was really a fan of the sauce in the pizza. I’m a sucker for good pizza sauce. Our waitress was very attentive and our drinks were all refilled multiple times, she came by often to ask how we were doing and how the food was. My only question is if you’re going to give bread with balsamic vinegar and olive oil to all tables why not have a little bowl dish for it? We had to either just put it on a flat plate or straight on the bread. Didn’t work out too well. Maybe that’s just me who thinks that is annoying but other than that I enjoyed the pizza and out service.

I am from Jersey originally so I am always on a quest for good pizza everywhere I go outside the tri-​state area. Grimaldi’s nailed the pizza from the crust to the sauce and toppings.
Service was attentive and quick. When I ordered wine, he suggested we get a bottle as it would be cheaper than getting it at our hotel or elsewhere on the strip. I took his advice and that $ 23 bottle of wine was exactly what I needed. It was by far the best priced wine in Vegas. They also recorked it for me and I took what was left with me.

Bomb bomb bomb… so bomb.
This is the best spot for pizza that i have been to in Las Vegas. Possibly even the best spot I’ve been to ever.
We ordered the Don pizza. The marinara had the freshest tasting herbs The brick oven baked crust was perfectly crunchy. The toppings were heavily placed on the pizza. Quality mozzarella cheese covered any void area of the pizza.
We also ordered a caesar salad. It was delicious as well.
Might just have to stay closer to Palazzo next time in Vegas. For added convenience of ordering this amazing pizza!

I didn’t know that Grimaldi’s was known for its thin crust pizza when I chose it; I picked it because it was close to our hotel and had high ratings from a fair number of reviews. My husband and I just arrived and were tired and hungry so this seemed easy.
I was relieved that there was no wait for two people. The restaurant on a Sunday evening around 8 was bustling but not too crowded. We were seated promptly on their little «patio.»
To start, we ordered a ½ carafe of one of the Sangiovese wines and a Mediterranean salad. We asked for the large, but the waitress helpfully told us that a small salad was enough for two people so we got that, then placed an order for a personal size Margherita pizza.
Wine– it was okay. I’m not a connoisseur by any means but I’ve had wines that I prefer to this one. Still, it did the trick after a long day of driving! $ 18 for the half carafe, which was about two and half glasses. Since one glass was $ 7, I’m not entirely sure how good a deal that was.
Mediterranean salad– ~$ 6. romaine lettuce, kalamata olives, feta cheese, tomato, cucumber, and red onion with some type of vinaigrette on top. The small was sufficient although we probably could have finished a large. This was average; the dressing was kind of bland, the lettuce not great and the pieces of feta were pretty small.
Margherita pizza– $ 12. I enjoyed the pizza overall; both the sauce and crust were well seasoned. The thin crust was nice except that it unevenly cooked. One side was burned while the other side was almost underdone. So… points off for that.
The service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. I didn’t regret choosing Grimaldi’s but I wouldn’t necessarily go out of my to eat there again.

Decided on Grimaldis for my birthday dinner. I have been to the location on Eastern, but this was my first visit to the newish Palazzo location.
We decided on the large 18in pizza with chicken sausage and mushrooms. Then, ordered a carafe of their house red wine for $ 15. The wine was not very good on its own, but will likely pair nicely with the pizza.
When it arrived, the pizza looked really tasty and couldn’t wait to take a bite. I was in pizza heaven with the first taste. The crust was thin and some what chewy. Then, the sweet and somewhat spicy sauce was added to the crust in mindful clusters, no haphazard slopping on of sauce here. The yummy mozzarella was applied in a similar manner. Lastly, the chicken sausage added a delicious meaty and spicy fennel note.
I was right, the marginal carafe wine really paired nicely with the pie by bringing out the spicy fennel and cutting through the cheesy mozzarella.
Grimaldi’s, I must confess, your pizza, in my humble opinion, is easily the best in Las Vegas, possibly my favorite of all time. Can’t wait for my next visit to pizza nirvana.

If you love a good thin crusted NY style pizza, you have to come here when you’re in Vegas.
Between 5 people, we ordered 2 large pizzas and a large salad. It was plenty to share amongst us. We even had a couple slices leftover to take for late night munchies.
Their Caesar Salad ($ 10/​large) is one of the best I’ve had. The greens were fresh, crisp and not drenched in dressing. The croutons were crunchy, but not too hard. A good choice for a starter.
The Brooklyn Bridge ($ 24/​large) pizza is a must get. It’s a traditional pizza with red peppers, sausage and most importantly… ricotta cheese! The ricotta adds a rich creaminess to the pizza that is drool worthy. Our second pizza was a simple meatball and pepperoni, but it had really good flavor.
These people know how to do pizza. Their crust to sauce to toppings ratio is on point. You can taste the quality and the prices are not bad. This is becoming one of my go-​to places in Vegas.

I was pleasantly surprised at this place. Nestled in the Venetian, it was pretty dead in the middle of the afternoon. They deliver solid NY style pizza at a decent price. The have an array of sizes and a pretty varied menu. Caesar salad was a step above most– great dressing and big croutons and sliced parmesan. Just what these ladies needed to sop up the alcohol from the night before. I’m a fan!

This year I was in Las Vegas 4 times, from L.A. I went here 3 times, the other location at the Fashion Mall, once. Always great thin crust NY style pizza, hot and crispy. Price is very reasonable. I wish they had spaghetti so I can truly have my Italian dream meal, I call «FESTA ITALIANA», but alas, only pizza.
This review is for the Nov 2015 visit. A VEGAS MUST. Friendly staff, clean environs, excellent pizza!

Excellent mouthwatering coal-​fired brick oven Pizza tucked inside the Palazzo/​Venetian, friendly staff with fast service, if your hungry and are looking for decent pizza & a peaceful lunch to get away from the crowds of the Strip than I say this is definitely a stop for Pizza.

Good pizza! Hubs and I opted to get personal sizes so that we could each have what we wanted. I loaded up my pizza with all kinds of goodies. The biggest thing, I would say, is that you pay for every topping and this can get pricey. We ended up paying almost $ 80 for 2 personal pizzas, 2 salads, 1 tea and 1 cocktail. If it weren’t for that, they would have earned an extra star.

Over the course of my Vegas trips with the No1DP I’ve seen people carrying pizza boxes from Grimaldi’s. The No1DP, being a huge fan of NY-​style pizza, never fails to get a slice every time he’s in the area. It not only serves up a good slice but its location just outside the entrance to the Venetian|Palazzo complex is a short walk from the hotel the No1DP is staying (usually the Palazzo or Encore). I finally got a chance to eat here as an alternative to another nearby restaurant as I though this place would serve a no-​frills yet delicious meal shortly before my flight.
CONCEPT: Grimaldi’s Pizza is known for its signature coal-​burning oven, specifically anthracite coal. It burns more cleanly than gas or wood and the oven reaches to 1200 °F. Supposedly the water system is specifically designed to emulate NY-​style water that is used in making authentic NY-​style pizza dough (thin and crispy).
VENUE: Grimaldi’s is close to the entrance of the Venetian|Palazzo when coming from the bridge that connects the hotel complex with the Wynn/​Encore. There was plenty of indoor seating on a Sunday night. They are not truly affiliated with the Palazzo so they cannot use resort credit/​comps to pay for the bill.
SERVICE: Our service for the most part was attentive except at the end where she didn’t catch that we wanted tiramisu to go.
We opted for the house salad with mozzarella addition (romaine lettuce, red onion, cherry tomatoes, oven roasted sweet red peppers, mushrooms, green olives, vinaigrette dressing, $ 6/​small). The bowl was generous with its non-​lettuce toppings and certain veggies such as cherry tomatoes, red onion and olives tasted fresh. I think I got full quite quickly due to the veggies.
The No1DP is a traditionalist — he wants his pizza with tomato sauce (I gently suggested to try pesto or white pie with garlic to no avail) so we got the small pizza (16 inches — 6 slices, serves 2 – 3 people, $ 14). For toppings we got pepperoni ($ 3), sausage ($ 3), mushrooms ($ 2), green bell peppers ($ 2) and onions ($ 2). The crust was thin and crispy and the cheese oozed out of the slice. Pepperonis were small and crunchy, mushrooms were juicy and there was a good amount of onions. The big perk about these pies is that they are easily customizable to diner’s preferences though there are certain pre-​made pies available.
One big perk was that the No1DP and I technically paid with resort winnings. Were able to pay for this meal with our modest $ 58 we won from betting the outside track on roulette then converted it to cash. Thanks Palazzo.
This is our preferred pizza place on the Venetian|Palazzo side of the Strip (Secret Pizza at the Cosmo is our preferred pizza place on the other side as I see more than a handful of people carrying Secret Pizza boxes)

Grimaldis is my favorite Pizzeria.
I love Grimaldis in NY, in LA, and now in Vegas.
The pizza is always consistent!
The crust is perfect (currently slightly drooling thinking about such amazing carbs), not to mention the melted mozzarella, and the ever so slightly tangy, yet somehow spicy but well-​seasoned marinara.
Hungry yet?
I know I am.
I prefer the large pizza because its your best bang for the buck.
This pizza is killer the next day!
My personal favorites are the chicken sausage, jalapenos (ask them to go easy because they’re HOT), and mushrooms.
Done, and done.
I could go on forever and paint the perfect picture of this pizza but seriously you’d waste too much time reading my review when you should just be eating there already!
Also, the spinach salad is a must as well, just make sure to tell them no bacon. It’ll mess with your palate otherwise.
Either way I think I’ll have pizza now!
Grimalids in El Segundo, CA here I come!
Here’s to 5 star ratings that are truly worthy of much applause!
Happy Eats Unilocalers!

If you’re looking for a great pizza and don’t want to spend $ 15-​$ 20 for an individual pie for one, this is the place for you. We ordered a large pepperoni and sausage pizza. It had eight large slices. It had the perfect crust and it tasted awesome. Pizza oven looks identical to the one they have in Brooklyn and tons more seating so you don’t have to wait in long lines like in Brooklyn. Great find at the Canal Shoppes.

I’m always searching for the best pizza and I think I’ve found the best pizza I’ve ever had in Vegas. The interesting thing is that this place serves a NY style pizza and I haven’t even had a pizza this good when I was in NY.
Their LOCATION is on the second floor above the casino of the Palazzo Hotel which is a prime location if you’re staying on the strip and don’t have a car.
As for the PIZZA, it’s NY style thin crust pizza but wow, what a crust. Not too soggy, not too crispy but just right. The ingredients tasted fresh and it’s not too greasy either. On top of everything, THE PRICE is awesome. My friend and I ordered an 18incher (we ate the whole thing) for less than 20 dollars. With the extra toppings that we ordered it came to a little over 20 but that’s still cheaper than Papa John’s.
The ENVIRONMENT is pretty huge with a NY style of décor. They have a standard bar and dine in area towards the back.
The SERVICE was good, however we did go at a pretty slow time. The pizza came out in a very reasonable time and our server was friendly.
Overall, I have to give them 5 stars because I think I will make it a tradition to eat here every time I come back to Las Vegas.

It’s hands down the best pizza I have ever had!
And I am from NY where this place originated.
It’s an easy 100% – The best tasting cheese, crust, sauce, meatballs in the right proportions, perfectly spun, non-​greasy.
Just a Perfect 10.
You feel good after eating it.
Don’t get sucked into the mediocre 800 degree, blaze pizza, and the like hype. I was barely able to digest my pizza at those joints and I would not go back even if someone paid me.
You compare the quality of the meats and vegetables and cheese and crust at Grimaldi’s to the dog food 800 degrees puts on their pie and let me know what you think.

If you are alone they have a sports bar TV area you can feel comfortable sitting alone at the bar or a table near the bar. They also have a table area if you are couple or grouped up.
Friendly Service here. (Very unlike NYC).

After my long long day at the wedding convention I could not wait to get here. I had breakfast but was saving my appetite. So I’m staying at MGM but my favorite places to stay In Vegas are palazzo, Venetian and the Cosmo.
I rode the monorail to Harrahs From convention center and it was a bit of a wall but I didn’t mind at all thinking that I’m going to devour the pizza once I get here! Lol
Hostesses were super sweet. The bartender Eric, he is awesome! Very friendly. I’ve seen him constantly working. He’s helping out other tables since at this moment I’m the only one at the bar. But he’s also checked on me plenty of times and I am beyond satisfied. This guy is a keeper here!!! I believe that he enjoys working here which is important. If u don’t like being a bartender then u should not be a bartender.
He even recommended the smaller pizza which was plenty for just me!!! Yay he’s great. The pizza was beyond great.
You pick your toppings and your size. They also can pack it up for u to take it to your room. My wine is yummy. My salad was big so if u are one its big. It’s great for 2 – 3 people but I was starving and wanted now.
I love this place and I bet I will be back again before I head home. :D
If u have not been here then u need to try it but all I know is the pizza is the best!!! Since that’s all I eat her.

Delicious, solid choice if you’re craving pizza during your Vegas trip! It’s located inside the Palazzo Hotel.
My husband and I shared a regular pizza with artichokes, garlic, basil, and sundried tomatoes. It was delicious and I absolutely loved the crust on the pizza! It had that great oven-​toasted taste and the perfect chewiness! We also got the Spinach Salad which came with bacon, red onions, cherry tomatoes, gorgonzola, and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. It was pretty good, tasted fresh and went well with our pizza. I haven’t tried the original Grimaldi’s in New York but I’m a fan based on my experience here. I would definitely try out their other locations if I’m craving pizza. They also have a white sauce base and pesto base for their pizzas which sounds unique! Definitely wanna try that someday!
Service was okay. we were being served by a girl who was in training. I felt pretty bad for her because she was obviously nervous but I give her props for trying hard and for smiling!

Die beste pizza die ich in den USA je gegessen habe! Dünner leckerer teig, fruchtige tomatensauce! Das konzept der pizza zum selber kreiieren ist einfach das super! Inklusive guter weinempfehlung durch das service personal!

Pizza is my favorite food and Grimaldi’s definitely hits the mark. My boyfriend and I just happened across this place as we were walking through the Venetian, and made it a point to come here based on the reputation of the New York location. Going in, I was a little confused about what to expect because the restaurant is set up to look like a casual, fast pizza place, but mixed with fine dining. For example, they had checkerboard/​picnic blanket table cloths, but each table had a couple of wine glasses. I wasn’t sure where on the scale of Little Caesars to artisan pizza this was going to fall.
Thankfully, there was no wait here, unlike what I’ve heard about the New York location. We were seated right away and the hostess was very accommodating when I asked to be seated at a table other than the one she initially pointed out. I really liked the table that we did sit at, because we could look out of the restaurant and see the crystal decorations of the Venetian.
Our server was with us right away as well and quickly brought out water with ice upon our request. He let us take our time to figure out what we wanted to eat, and even suggested a small salad while we decided.
We chose the Caesar Salad, and as our server suggested, it was more than enough for the two of us. It was also really tasty; I almost forgot to take a picture of it before it was all gone. The lettuce was fresh and the dressing was evenly tossed. The croutons were also really great, large pieces and very crunchy. The salad was topped off with fresh shaved parmesan and our server also helped us with some cracked pepper. Very good start to the meal.
The pizza menu does not have many preset combinations eg. veggie/​meat lovers. Instead, they have a basic crust with sauce and cheese (prized on size) and you can add on toppings for $ 2-​$ 4 based on what they are. I believe the cost of the topping is regardless of size of the pizza you choose. The are based on «premium» vs «regular» topping eg. artichoke vs extra cheese. They also have an option of red or white sauce and a pesto option.
For our pizza, we knew we wanted Italian Sausage on there right away, but for the rest of the toppings, we were a bit more selective based on each others’ preferences and the quickly increasing price. I consented to Pepperoni while my boyfriend allowed for the Fresh Sliced Roma Tomatoes. We also got the Fresh Baby Spinach, Fresh Garlic, and Extra Mozzarella Cheese. We ordered it all on a small size (16 inch) pizza, which was enough for the two of us.
It did take a while for the pizza to come out, but we enjoyed our time watching from the window. When the pizza arrived, I was so excited because it was bigger than I expected, and it also smelled and looked amazing. I consider myself to be a pizza genius now, because the combination of toppings we had picked out worked so awesome together. I know, it’s just a basic meat pie, but I thought it was almost mind-​blowing. The sausage was very traditional and tasty and complemented their famous sauce very well. I also loved the spinach on the pizza and wish there had been more. The garlic really made the dish for me, I really looked forward to the bites where I could see little clusters of garlic. Really, each bite was packed with flavor and I could not stop eating.
Even though I was completely stuffed after the pizza, I wanted to order the Tiramisu because my boyfriend had never had it before. While it was not the best tiramisu I have ever had, it was quality dessert and a very good first try for my boyfriend. We both enjoyed how creamy the mascarpone was and how moist the ladyfingers were.
The highlight of this experience was definitely the pizza (as it should be) and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. With the personalization of the pizzas, everyone can get something they love.

Très bonne pizzas mais pas les meilleurs que j’ai mangé. Un peu cher quand meme. A quatres, trois pizzas avec un pot de sangria (28 $) on en a eu pour 115 $ tips compris.
Le personnel est très gentil.
Le concept, prendre une taille de pizza (ex: personnel, environ 30 cm, 9 $), la sauce et la mozza sont deja compris dedans. Ensuite il fait ajouter les ingrédients, ils vont de 2 $ a 4 $, il y en a une quinzaine environ. Le prix de la pizza peu donc vite monter!
En bref, si vous voulez une bonne pizza dans un bon et bel endroit plutôt calme, allez-​y!

Love it.
Great Place, nice Location.
Maybe a happy Hour Would be Great. ;-)
Manager i forgot his Name greated & seated us immediatly & was so nice. Explained everything.
