Grimaldi’s Pizzeria is built on more than 100 years of pizza-making traditions. Grimaldi’s Pizzeria is famous for pizzas baked to perfection in its signature coal-brick oven. In the world of pizza, Grimaldi’s is an icon that has earned more awards than any other pizzeria in the country, with more celebrity sightings than most five-star restaurants. Using only the freshest ingredients, a “secret recipe” sauce, sliced fresh mozzarella cheese and dough, Grimaldi’s serves traditional pizza (as it began in Naples, Italy) in an upscale yet casual, family-friendly environment.

COMPANY STRENGTHS: “Consistency, dedication and energy. Treating our guests as part of the Grimaldi’s family.” STRENGTH OF STAFF: “Our staff is great at maintaining a positive attitude and energy at all times. It is our attention to detail which makes us special. It allows us to provide a all around excellent dining experience for our guests.” IMPACT OF NO. 1 RANKING: “It is truly an honor for us. Being voted No. 1 shows that customers appreciate what we provide and the effort that we put in to our food and service. That is a great feeling. We love being a part of this community and serving our Arizona family.” last year 3
