When they say "less is more," they have Grimaldi's Pizzeria in mind. The sheer simplicity of this old Brooklyn establishment is what draws people in from all over NYC. Residing in Brooklyn's DUMBO neighborhood (Down Under the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge Overpass), expect to see lines out the door to the end of the block consisting of loyal followers to their pilgrimage.

This place offers either dine in or take out of pizza. That's it. They don't accept credit cards either, it's a cash only business! Well worth the wait, once escorted into the modest interior, you begin to feel like a part of an old Brooklyn tradition, gathering with other neighborhood people to share in some really delicious pizza. They have a meager beer and wine selection, but their toppings list more than makes up for it. Their pizza, baked in one of the few remaining authentic coal ovens, is crispy, flavorful, and actually quite pretty.

I would definitely recommend this as a great date place. Start off in the city, walk across the bridge. Grab a bite to eat at Grimaldi's, then walk down to the pier for some ice cream, all on a beautiful sunny day!

Good, inexpensive eats here! Highly recommend!
