Grimaldi's Pizzeria - San Antonio

Such a wonderful experience. Katie, was exceptional!! She had wonderful recommendations and was so pleasant. The pizza is one to write home about. We will definitely be back.

Split a large salad with my husband and it was perfect. Very fresh! The pizza was so delicious! I will definitely go back.

It doesn 't get any better than a coal-fired brick oven pizza ! The pizza alone is five stars!! This style of pizza gives a crispy slice with an amazing crunch, no flop, and great crust! The restaurants kitchen is open and in plain view where you can see your pizza being made from scratch to finish with their Fresh hand-tossed dough that is made in-house daily. We ordered The Don and The Margherita pizza and they were both delicious. Also ordered the Lemon Arugula Salad . Ordered the small... and the portion size was very generous. I loved this salad (and I 'm not a big salad fan). Why not give a five star review? Well the overall experience was lacking a little, let me explain. The seating arrangement in the restaurant isn 't ideal. It is a smaller space yet it is filled with overly large round tables taking up most of the real estate. We were sat in a huge round table, party of five, and it made us feel super far away from one another...I actually felt like I was part of the family sitting behind us since I was so close to them. The huge round table is actually blocking the corner so when they needed to get up I had to stand up to make space for them. The seating arrangement is almost a fire hazard. There 's nothing more annoying then a wobbly table. The food runner plopped my pizza down as far away as possible, never made eye contact or bothered to care actually placing it by the person who ordered it. Half of the plates on the table were wet and slimy, giving an impression they were dirty. Drinks weren 't refilled with timeliness. I ordered a Peroni because they have it on Draft (which is a huge plus) but it was brought to my table almost warm. The bar has an open partition to their outdoor seating area, and it was 100 degrees outside so maybe bring out the drinks in a timely manner? It 's not like it 's free. The owner or manager was in the kitchen scheming every pizza before it was boxed. This was great but also recommend a little attention to the service areas starting with the hostess stand. You have kids running your restaurant. Left a 20% tip but could not leave a four-five star review. Take Maggiano 's for example, go there 2-3 times a year and always enjoy a 5 star experience for restaurants in this price range.

The pizza was outstanding but even better than the food was the service. My waiter Joseph was extremely helpful, attentive and generally just day my day better. He took extra time to chat with me and overall is a great employee. The pizza is coal fired and perfectly cooked. I recommend the 3 meat pizza. Keep up the amazing service and the great food!!!

From the moment we arrived to when we left, the ambiance, the service the food was top notch!!!! Love it, brick oven pizza ???? is the best!
