How does it compare to the other pizzerias is BR?

Is it as expensive as it seems on their online menu? $30 for a 16" pizza with 4 toppings?

Do they not have specialty pies at all or do you have to pay for each topping separately?

Well, for one, it's vastly overpriced.

It's okay... I just assume eat red zepplin or mellow mushroom. Oh and pricey, was $42 I think for a large pizza, an app (which is just a salad) 2 diets and a water. Won't be back myself unless I'm stuck at the mall for some reason

We went there the other night and got a large pie with four toppings, a small antipasto plate and two glasses of wine and it was $50-$60. It's got a nice atmosphere and the food was tasty, (although I thought the sauce was too watery) but it was a little too much.

Well, we tried to go, but they were having problems with their ovens and would not have them running for 45 minutes or more.

We went next door to Red Robin...I am waiting for our food. I ordered fish and chips. I wasn't sure if I wanted to try their burger before I actually saw one.

Went to today. Was going to try Red Robin, but they had a line, so we walked across the road to Grimaldi's. The place was nearly full, but we didn't have to wait.

For Starters, we ordered a small Caesar salad ($7), which was served family style and meant to be shared. (The Caesar salad was invented in Mexico, but the guy that invented it, Caesar Cardini, was Italian, so suck it you little shite "we don't serve Caesar salad but we have redneck Ranch dressing" Italian purest restaurants.) The salad was fine. The salad bowl was room temp and the romaine lettuce was approaching being wilted (wasn't crisp), the croutons were made with diced bread from pizza oven. The salad tasted good, but needed improvement in freshness.

Ordered a large pizza ($16) and added pepperoni ($2) and spicy chicken sausage ($4).

I must say that I enjoyed it. One of the better pizzas I had in a while. The crust was a very good quality crust. The cheese, sauce and toppings were good quality too. It tasted good. It tasted fresh. But to knock it a little, I will say that it had too many (three) large puffed up crust bubbles. One is fun. Two is cool. Three is "lets talk about the bubbles"

We ordered 2 cheesecakes ($5 each) for dessert. Butterscotch (tasted like a Butterfinger candy bar) It was good. Oreo. Didn't taste it, but was told it was good. Our waiter was stoked about the Amaretto cheesecake and seemed a little sad when we didn't order it. In hindsight, I wish I did.

Our waiter was competent and genuinely sought to do a good job. I would say his language was a little relaxed when talking to us, considering the prices, but all in all I would be happy to have him serve us again.

The decor was brick walls, the ceiling was a patch work of old and random styles of tin roof. The lighting was at an appropriate level. Had hundreds of green and white wine bottles hanging from the ceiling, with light bulbs in them. Red and white checkered tablecloths (cloth not plastic) on all the tables. I seem to remember walnut wood trim on the door frames and stuff. What can I say, the place looks good and has a clean look.

The price ain't cheap, but it shouldn't be surprising that it's not. Nothing about the restaurant says cheap pizza. The decor and wine glasses on the tables should give you a clue. You got to keep the undesirables out somehow. This ain't Showbiz pizza.
