About this business

Pasty Grimaldi is a purist when it comes to pizza. Patsy Learned the trade from his uncle, Patsy Lancieri, who trained with the man credited with opening the first pizzeria in America in 1905. Lancieri opened Patsy's Pizzeria in East Harlem in 1931, where Grimaldi started learning the art of coal brick oven pizza at the tender age of 10. In time Patsy was ready to open the first of his two Pizzerias in New York. Soon the smokey taste of his coal-fired brick oven pizza became a "must have" for hundreds of celebrities includin... read more

MEDIOCRE PIZZA HUGE LET DOWN FOR WHAT I WAS EXPECTING – IT'S NO WONDER I SEE THIS PLACE ADVERTISING IN EVERY MAGAZINE AND EVERY COUPON MAGAZINE I GET MAILED TO AT MY HOUSE. THE PIZZA AIN'T WHAT IT SHOULD BE. SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE KNOWS IT TOO WHY ELSE ALL THE ADS AND COUPONS. THE PROBLEM IS THEY ARE TRYING TO LIVE UP TO PEOPLE'S EXPECTATIONS OF THE "LORE" OF NYC PIZZA. THE TRUTH IS IF THEY CALLED THE PLACE MIKE'S PIZZA IT MIGHT HAVE DONE BETTER AS THERE WOULD BE NO PRECONCEIVED EXPECTATION. I UNDERSTOOD THOUGH THAT THE OWNERS ... read more

Great pizza in lively, friendly atmosphere – Grimaldi's coal-oven pizza was delicious. All ingredients were fresh, and the pizza was served within five minutes of ordering. Go with several people because they only serve full pies. Skip desert and head down to the Brooklyn pier for ice cream at the Brooklyn Ice Cream company. Coffee ice cream was some of the best I have ever had. I hear peaches 'n cream is a must try.

BEST PIZZA IN LONG ISLAND. – I've been here countless times since last May. Its absolutely amazing. They have a great bar and great staff with the owner even greeting you. The best part is always the pizza though. They have a real coal brick oven unlike all the places that say they do and have gas fired or fake coal brick ovens. If you know about pizza making, they have perfected the art of the coal brick oven with masterful control of the temperature and output. Ive been to both Grimaldis in brooklyn and here and the taste ... read more

BEST PIZZA ANYWHERE – I have been to this place several times and I absolutely love it !! The place is beautiful the atmosphere is warm and inviting. They have a large bar for happy hour and they can accomodate large parties with no problem. I recommend it for all ages. Unlike their sister store in Brooklyn they have a lot of salads , appetizers and they do catering on or off site, ( I know use them for my office) Umbertos in New hyde park has nothing on their pizza
