Grimaldi's Pizzeria is an American pizzeria chain from the New York City area with several restaurants throughout the United States. It does not sell slices, only whole pies. The pizzas are cooked by a coal-fired brick oven.
Grimaldi opened Grimaldi's Pizzeria in Brooklyn, New York in 1990.
In the late 1990s, Patsy Grimaldi retired, selling the Grimaldi's name and franchise (except for the Hoboken locations) to restaurateur Frank Ciolli. In 2011, the building's owner declined to renew Ciolli's lease, so he renovated an abandoned bank next door and moved the restaurant over. The next year, Patsy Grimaldi came out of retirement and opened a new pizzeria called Juliana's Pizza in the original building, resulting in enmity between himself and Ciolli.
