text: I would like to give Grimaldis higher praise but it just was not as good as I had hoped I knew of their reputation long ago since I occasionally have business in NYC but never made it to the original restaurant Plus you can find good pizza on pretty much any corner in the city so there is no need to make a special tripnnThe service here was lovely but the food was so average that I do not really know what to say We had a salad which was decent and a cheese pizza that was also decent The coal oven does give it a unique flavor but it was not my thing Again and again I say Pinos is the best pizza in town and everything else just disappoints me
