Grimaldi's Pizzeria opens in West Village

We've been talking about this place for months, but now it's finally here. Patsy Grimaldi's, the Brooklyn-based pizzeria, opened yesterday in West Village -- 3636 McKinney Ave., Suite 190, 214-559-4611.
Their specialty is coal-fired, brick-oven pizza, but Grimaldi's also serves calzones, an antipasto platter and four kinds of salad, as well as hot and cold beverages and desserts.
At the moment, Grimaldi's is open daily for dinner, 5 p.m. to midnight; eventually they plan to open for lunch as well. They do take reservations, but only for parties of five or more.

You've been waiting for months for coal-fired, brick oven pizza?
Why? We already have it and it's not that great.
Until someone -- with other than marketing hype about special water and lignite and dough --- lays a smackdown on Fireside Pies, it's all just noise. I guess we'll see here.

We went there for dinner last night and thought the food and atmosphere were both great. Great classic, no-nonsense pizza with a good wine list.
