Absolutely fantastic service! My boyfriend and I have been here multiple times and sat at the bar with Travis and he is hands down one of the best bartenders I’ve come across! All the staff is extremely friendly, and the pizza is delicious (white pizza with chicken and bacon is a must have). The wine selection is amazing and the coconut caramel cheese cake is to die for! If I could give this place 6 stars I would!! Best pizza in southwest Florida for sure!

I am a bit of a pizza snob. For me, New York Pizza is the best pizza in the world. In that area, foe me Grimaldi's is the best of the best. It is my favoritE thing to eat, regardless of which restaurant you visit.

This by far is the best pizza in Florida! If you like thin crispy crust and delicious toppings Grimaldi’s is the place for you. Our location in Ft Myers offers indoor and outdoor seating in an authentic Italian atmosphere. The Pizzas are coal oven baked giving them a one of a kind taste. Try the Don pizza, their version of a meat lovers, you’ll love it!

We love Grimaldi’s! Pizza is delicious, they have great salads, and we love to take home a dessert trio! They have a great e-Club also, sign up and get a free large one item pizza for your birthday!! The manager is great and the staff seems very well trained. Wish they would put one in Cape Coral, but we think it’s worth the drive!

We love this place we’ve been coming for three years We have never had a bad experience. twice we brought our daughters dog and they were extremely accommodating they even brought her some water all the waitresses wanted to pet her. we had some wonderful times there. Every server I have had has been wonderful. one time I was down in Florida and left my umbrella on the seat in April I came back in November and they had saved it for me! The food is fantastic in the atmosphere is as well we love this place

I brought my mother here because I had been to Grimaldi’s in Las Vegas. The pizza there was the best I ever had. Ft Myers was definitely equal to that. Tory, however, made the experience even better than Vegas. He was personable, funny, and really loved what he was doing. Even though the pizza alone would’ve made the experience great, Tory made it so we will definitely be back.

Hooked on Grimaldi's.  Haven't been able to have pizza elsewhere since trying the Brooklyn Bridge with added pepperoni a bit well done per Tony's suggestion.   It's the best!!  The staff is always friendly, the ambiance reminds you of any city sidewalk cafe, and the wine list is above average for this type of restaurant.  Maybe pricier than some, but well worth it.  We've become regulars.

Grimaldi's Pizzeria, Cleveland Ave., Ft. Myers, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.

I came here because they are one of the few places that give you a ENTIRE FREE MEAL.  If you sign up for the e mail club you get a free 1 topping 16 inch pizza on your birthday, Dine in only.

I hate to really complain. But I will. Pizza is a personal thing. I like mushroom and pepperoni pies. In this case I added mushroom for 2 dollars more.

But when it arrived piping hot, thin crust and covered with pepperoni. Lo and behold, Where are my MUSHROONS ??

It not the money. I want to taste and eat mushrooms with my pepperoni. There were some 'roons. Just not very much. Though lacking this the pie was very good hot.

I also judge a pie on how it taste cold. In this situation it really failed. The pie was very spongy and too chewy when cold.

The staff was exceptional nice and professional.

I will return and say to you all come on down.


Grimaldi's Pizzeria, Bell Tower Mall, Ft. Myers, Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
Before the food I must comment on the decor. It is mahvalous . Red & white checker table clothes. Photographs of the Rat Pack. Songs from Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis,Jr & Dean Martin in the background.

An ole skool thing. Romantic or business atmosphere.

The food. Coal cooked pepperoni & mushroom pizza. It was quick. Sauce was slighty sweet. Crust was very thin. The slices are such you handle like a New Yorker. One handed and folding.

Service was stellar. Definitely I will be back.

Grimaldis Brooklyn has a thinner crust and cooks in less than 3 minutes and comes out charcoal burnt on the edges, the ft myers location has a thicker crust similar to a neopolitan pie available everyware in ny. Since most people have never had the original Brooklyn or Garden city pie my review is worthless.  If you like it that's all that matters.

Stupid good pizza, a little pricey, but IDC. I own a pizza joint. I am a pizza snob. And this is good pizza. I mean, it should be for what they are selling it for, but that doesn't change that fact that it is a great pizza.

Great Pizza and Service...Ordered a pizza to go at the bar just before closing the other night and had a beer while i waited. The bartender was friendly and attentive. I ordered a pepperoni, mushroom, and onion personal pizza and a Blue Moon draught. The pizza tasted incredible! I'll be back next time I'm in Ft. Myers!

We were impressed. It has a great atmosphere. The pizza was better than we were expecting. Thin crust, wood fired with the freshest ingredients. You will not be disappointed.

Awesome pesto!. 3/25/2013
We got a pesto pizza and brought it over to World of Beer...can't beat great pizza and great beer! It was two of us, and we weren't super hungy, so we went with the personal sized pesto pizza. If you're starving, I'd go with the small, but otherwise the personal size was perfect. The pesto was great, not overly garlicy, but still a great flavor, and the crust was perfect! I haven't eaten there, but definitely recommend as far as carry out goes!

What a great atmosphere. I enjoyed the seating, lighting and the sound levels. Our waitress seemed new but friendly. My only complaint is there is nothing like this pizza in KY that I have found.

Perfecto!!. What makes a pizza good? If there is science underlying this answer the chefs at Grimaldis have PhDs. A confluence of zesty sauce, apposite crust texture, fresh toppings, and appropriate spicing create the perfect pizza. Two and a half hour waits on Fridays and Saturday nights tell the tale. And the atmosphere here is truly authentic: red and white checkered table cloths, innovative pendant lighting using wine bottles, red brick walling, and antique Italian photographs. I love this place!!

Pizza nirvana. Joe should be knighted or sainted or something for bringing real pizza to the barbarian world (ie. outside of Brooklyn). Folks, this is the Real Deal - look no further. Thank you, Grimaldi's, thank you. It has been far too long since I've been able to visit you at the Brooklyn Bridge.

Best Pizza in SW Florida. Pepperoni & Jalapeno - at least three times a month - it's an addiction.

The quality of this pizza is truly exceptional. Great house red and salads that are easy to share makes this place both affordable and delicious.

Not fancy, just good. Really good.

Great pizza!!!! Wait staff seem very friendly as well. Only negative is I watched one of the girls fluff her hair while standing next to the area where the pizza is made. Not a huge deal, but she never washed her hands after doing her hair! Need to work on restaurant manners maybe? Otherwise a great experience.

Thin, Crispy, Delicious Pizza. The menu is simple and straightforward at Grimaldi's. Pizza, calzones, and salads. They don't need a lot of menu items because the pizza is so good you can eat a whole one! The personal pizza with pepperoni is classic. The tomato sauce is light and flavorful. The cheese tastes fresh. The crust is thin, crispy, and charred in all the right places. The white pizza's are great also! It's the best pizza I've had in Fort Myers for sure!

We had a 20 minute wait but really enjoyed the pizza. The small is large and the large is huge. Pizza is thin crust. The servers were friendly and helpful. We had a pesto and it was great. Unfortunately parking at Bell Tower hAs become almost impossible.

Don’t miss this place if you’re in the mood for pizza, especially if you’re from Chicago or New York! This place did not at all disappoint Service is fantastic, with an amazing ambiance down to the checkered table cloths, brick accents, tin ceiling tiles and etched concrete floors. Jenna was our server and didn’t miss a beat! This is a classic pizzeria reminiscent of New York! The Calzone was amazing, we ordered sausage and mushroom with mozzarella cheese and ricotta cheese! The coal fired oven made the crust decedent and flavorful. The side salad was huge and the ingredients were farm fresh! The Parmesan, Romano pepper blend was perfect on the salad and pizza! The GM Kevin stopped by and asked about our visit and we were so impressed about his passion! To top it off he offered us cheesecake to go, which we graciously accepted! Don’t forget to download the app, to earn points on your visits, even free pizza on your birthday! Put this amazing pizzeria on your rotation, it’s a must!!! Finally Florida delivers a pizza worth the mention! Enjoy!!

I’m from Chicago, so I’m very picky when it comes to pizza since Chicago has the best! But Grimaldi’s is by far one of the best pizzas I’ve had here in fort Myers ! Everything is really fresh and the sauce is unbeatable . The side Caesar salad was huge and the dressing and fresh Parmesan in it was delicious . To end the night we had the dessert trio and it was worth every bite . The service was amazing as well. I will definitely be coming back !

I'm from Brooklyn and was raised eating Grimaldi's pizza under the Brooklyn Bridge. Until this day, one of my favorite spots to have pizza in. Was in fort Myers driving back down to the airport and saw these guys and had to try. Pizza was good, still not NY (so maybe it is the water??) But still was very good. Everyone complained that there are no good pizza places in FL. This is a good option for pizza if you are into the brick oven. They do a good job matching the flavors but as delicious as it was, simply not thr same as I have in NY. Still would recommend checking these guys out if you are in the area. At least you know you are getting high quality ingredients and a consistent flavor.

Grimaldi’s is a favorite amongst locals. I was hosting an open house nearby and a New Yorker came in and said this pizza is the best he’s had in the area that I had to try it. I ordered a couple pizzas to go. Picked them up on my way home, 30 minutes later I was disappointed that I didn’t eat the pizza at the restaurant. Brick oven pizzas are best enjoyed right away. With that being said, this pizza was still delicious but I would recommend dine in to truly enjoy this dining experience!

Stopped in for a Valentine's day dinner with the family. We were greeted upon entering and seated promptly. They weren't too busy when we arrived, but they quickly filled up. Our waitress was Ari she was very nice and attentive. It was a Tuesday so we endulged in the happy hour for the wines. I told Ari to surprise me with her choice and she brought me the most delicious and refreshing peach sangria I have ever had. We ordered the white with garlic pizza, and we also ordered a traditional pie with sausage and pepperoni. Both pies came out very good and they werent burnt on the bottom which was the best part. We definitely enjoyed ourselves and will return.

Great NY style pizza. Approaching New Haven style, but the sauce is not quite there. New Haven style sauce uses San Marzano tomatoes. Not sure what is used here. In any case, excellent pizza

Grimaldi's is one of my favorites for coa-fired NY-style pizze. This particular location made my favorite Brooklyn Bridge Pizza better than the others. Cannoli and tiramasu are winners every time....and a great way to cap off the visit.

Brick oven pizza that tastes so good you'd think it was made in Italy. They have a huge selection of wine and pizza, the deserts are amazing. I personally had the tirimisu, and it was mouth watering. The pizza that I got was called "The Don" and had pepperoni, Italian sausage and meatballs. The pizza is extraordinarily good. Amazing service, thank you Julian you are a real one.
