What to Eat at Grimaldi's Pizzeria - Coal Fired Brick Oven Pizza How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Grimaldi's Pizzeria - Coal Fired Brick Oven Pizza, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Brooklyn bridge pizza Net +1
“I decided to go all out and ordered the Brooklyn Bridge pizza. When it arrived at the table, it was an experience—something only a true foodie can relate to! The crust had that perfect, smoky char from a coal oven- crispy on the outside but perfectly chewy. It was generously topped with sweet roasted red peppers, Italian sausage, and big, dreamy dollops of creamy ricotta that melted over the fresh mozzarella. Every bite was a perfect combination of smoky, creamy, and savory. Ohhhhh my mouth still waters just thinking about that taste!”

Tips for a Better Visit
Avoid rushes. If possible, visit off-peak; a 21 March review reported slow service and a long wait for food.
Customise freely. Ask about changing the sauce or toppings if the menu pizzas do not quite fit what you want.
Check arancini. Ask whether arancini is available before ordering; one diner saw it in photos but not on the menu card.
Try lunch. For a lower-cost visit, consider the business lunch, which one reviewer specifically called good value.
Watch preparation. Choose a table with a view of the open kitchen if you enjoy watching pizzas being freshly prepared.

Overcooked sides

The Bottom Line
Grimaldi’s in Dubai Silicon Oasis is built around coal-fired brick-oven pizza, with reviews repeatedly highlighting crisp crusts and an authentic New York-style flavour. The truffle pizza is a standout for diners who like a richer pie, while the Brooklyn Bridge pizza combines roasted red peppers, Italian sausage, ricotta and mozzarella on a smoky, chewy crust. The open kitchen lets you watch the pizzas being hand-tossed and prepared.
There is more than pizza on the menu: reviewers mention pasta, lasagna, wings, steak and salads, with one calling the salad outstanding. The restaurant’s cosy, well-lit setting and family-friendly feel make it workable for a casual meal or a family occasion, and portions have been described as generous. The business lunch is also mentioned as good value.
Service is often praised as warm, attentive and quick, but the experience is not completely consistent. Some visits involved slow service and long waits; one particularly poor meal arrived cold, missing an item, with melted ice cream. Another diner found the pizza disappointing and a separate review wanted more seasoning.
Visiting outside busy periods and checking availability for less-visible items such as arancini may help.
