86. Today is my beautiful daughter's 22nd Birthday. So we celebrated by going to a delicious pizza restaurant, "Grimaldi's Pizzeria". The original restaurant is in Brooklyn. But we went to Grimaldi's in Garden City, NY.
My daughter told me it was like no other pizza I've ever had. She was so right! The crust is so thin but so tasty and the sauce is bright with garlic and slightly sweet.We first enjoyed an appetizer of Spinach Artichoke Dip with Chips. It was hot and cheesy.
Our waitress came over to our table and said, "I am so sorry, we brought you the wrong pizza...this pizza was for another table." And then we all commented..."We were wondering why there were so many more toppings." Then the waitress went to grab the tray and her boss called her back to the side. She came back to our table and said, "We made a mistake and we apologize, your pizza is on its way and you can keep the wrong pizza too." And then she leaned in close and said, "you guys don't realize all the extra toppings that are on this pizza!" We then received the pizza we ordered...ahhh...so much pizza! But it was so wonderful! And the best part, they didn't charge us for the mistake! I told Emily it was because it was her Birthday! Thanks Grimaldi's! If you are ever in Brooklyn, by the bridge, look for Grimaldi's...you will experience a fantastic pizza!
Then we ordered our pizza, half eggplant, half pesto sauce, and one personal plain cheese pizza for Maggie. While we munched on our chips and yummy dip, our pizza arrived! We were surprise at how quickly it came...and we dug in right away! Wow! It was delicious! But as we were munching we realized, there is more than just pesto and eggplant, there was mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and so much cheese with whole basil.
