After seeing all the positive reviews on Yelp, I expected Grimaldi's to be anywhere from good to excellent. I ended up trying it for the first time tonight, and am very confused about why they're so highly rated. The bottom of both pies were half black and burned, there was almost no cheese on the pies, the sauce is bland, and the pies are way overpriced. Aside from the pizza, the building has a nice atmosphere and looks very good. There's a nice bar area and the employees were friendly. The pies came out fast, too, which is surprising considering how awfully burned they were. Will probably give this place one more try because of all the hype I've read about it, hoping that I just got a bad batch. As of right now, I would say this is nearly, if not absolutely the worst pizza I've ever had.
