Grimaldi’s pizza, atmosphere charmpair

Linda Pollock writes, “My husband and I took a drive to LaCenterra just to look around. I was telling him of a Ken Hoffman article about Grimaldi’s, and we were surprised to find it there. We went in and beat most of the crowd that came in shortly after us. The décor is charming — like the hanging wine bottles. The wait staff was friendly with excellent service and advice. (Thank you, Andrea.)

“We ordered a pizza, and you get to select your toppings. It was delicious. Had a glass of chianti, which was a lunch treat for us. The house chianti was good. The crust on the pizza was thin and tasty. Loved the coal cooking. Will be going back again. Would highly recommend this place.”
