“ This place is FIRE!!!! The staff is amazing & never stop working to ensure you have a great dining experience. The pizza is incredible! Coal fired makes the perfect crispy crust & their sauce is delicious. You can’t go wrong with any of the pizzas here!!! ”
“ We have eaten at many Grimaldi’s locations across the US, including the original before it franchised. This location made AMAZING pizza. One of the best ones we’ve eaten at. Seems very new - They were still working on finishes in different areas. Bathrooms at Grimaldi’s are usually too small and in need of repairs - finally a location with good bathrooms! Easy parking lot in front. Indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend. ”
“ Really good thin crust pizza. The crust is cooked perfectly and the toppings taste great. My new favorite pizza place in town. I know it’s a chain, but it’s better than most stand alone pizza joints. ”
“ We've been coming here since it opened, and every time, it’s been nothing short of amazing. The pizza is always top-notch—perfectly baked crust, fresh ingredients, and flavors that keep us coming back. But this last visit truly blew us away. My daughter had one simple wish that day: ice cream. Unfortunately, it’s not something they offer. But what happened next speaks volumes about the kind of people who run this place. The manager—without hesitation—left the restaurant, went to a nearby spot, and brought her back ice cream. It wasn’t just a kind gesture—it made her whole day, and ours too. That kind of above-and-beyond service is rare. The food is incredible, but it's the people that make this place unforgettable. Consistently delicious, consistently kind. If you're thinking about going—just go. You won’t be disappointed. ”
“ We went on a Sunday at 11am and we were the only ones there until we left at noon. It’s an amazing place. So clean and inviting. The pizza was to die for and our sever was the sweetest! We’ve been back a couple times since and still would give 5 stars ”
“ Amazing pizza. We don't often choose pizza when we go out but this was amazing. Nice snap to the crust, not soggy. Toppings were flavorful and plenty and crust wasn't too big. We had the BBQ Chicken. ”
“ Food was great some of the best pie I’ve ever had. Service was decent could have been better, and kind of expensive when they charge per topping. now on the down side. Me and my church family came there was roughly 16 of us. We all received our bills and there was an automatically a 20% charge for a large party charge/tip on each one of our bills, personally never had this happen before and most likely the reason I’ll never go back, ”
