text: Hearing that this is a New York transplant in Vegas my friend had urged that I try out Grimaldis Upon arriving in Vegas this was the first place we hit up less than an hour after they opened nnThe hostess was quick to meet us and sat us outside in the main shopping area I was hesitant at first because I did not want the feel of being a zoo animal in an exhibit nnMy friend ordered the classic Margherita pizza while I ordered the plain pesto pizzannKnowing that they freshly make their pizzas we waited patiently and were more than thrilled with the pizzas arrived Shortly after we got our food there was a holiday special performance with Santa and his dancing elves This attracted a lot of attention throughout the mall and hence made me feel like the zoo animal I feared I would becomennPeople would walk by pointing at what we were eating And to add brownie points Close to the end of the holiday performance fake snow started falling from the ceiling of the shopping center so we got the complimentary topping of soap suds on our pizzannThis was the reason this review is stars not or I felt my experience was really ruined as a result of the special performance and eating outside in the shopping areannTIPSn Do not eat here on the weekends in Decembern Eat inside if you can do not sit out in the shopping arean Order the pesto it is yummynnOverall the pizza was tasty I love NY style pizza I actually love all forms of pizza i do not discriminate Grimaldis knows how to impress with their pies too bad the locale was not as impressivennStaff is friendly moderately attentive with the water Just when I thought our server forgot us he would show up Not sure I would come back since Vegas is full of great places to feast at but definitely will not pass it up if Grimaldis came up in culinary consideration conversation
