Pizza Rating:
Finally Grimaldi's! After many recommendations, we made the trip to DUMBO for one of the most famous pies in the city, in honor of AJ's birthday. Lincoln and Andreas joined us, which made standing in line outside in the 40˚ for 45 minutes waiting for a table a little more fun. When we finally got a table, it was perfect. The menu is simple, no crazy preconceived combinations of toppings, you just choose your own. And since they come with a delicious crushed tomato sauce, the most exquisite mozzerella, fresh basil and grated parmesan, it doesn't really need anything. The crust is thin and crispy, without being brittle or charred, probably the result of the super-fast cooking time in the coal burning brick oven. We all agreed to give it five stars—not because it's Plato's ideal pizza, or even the best pizza I ever expect to have in New York, but just because it was really freaking good. Don't pass it up—just remember your hat and gloves!
Yep, that's the line.
We made it to the front!
There they are, making pizzas!
Check out that coal-burning oven.
So hungry.
Don't miss the view of Manhattan right down the hill! Bellissima!

You have no right to review NYC pizza - where are you from - Michigan?
You don't know your neighborhoods...Lombardi's is NoHo - NOT Soho...DUMBO is down under the MANHATTAN Bridge Overpass....not Brooklyn Bridge which is where Grimaldi's is.
Oh - and actually neuvo NYers say NoHo for Grimaldi's - it's LITTLE ITAY!
Yikes, anonymous, have YOU ever been to Grimaldi's? I am very aware of what DUMBO stands for, and it doesn't change the fact that the Brooklyn Bridge is right there. And please, Lombardi's is not north of Houston!
