So many amazing new spots are starting to pop up at Toyota Music Factory, and Grimaldi’s Pizzeria is its newest addition. It seems to be a favorite around the DFW location and boy am I glad they found a home in the Las Colinas area. I tried Grimaldi’s for the first time last week at the media dinner preview and I was BEYOND impressed.
They have a signature wine called the Mille Gradi, which is a robust red wine that pairs well with a lot of their menu items (yep, including their pizzas!)
They have several salad options, including the mediterranean salad (top) and this seasonal salad (bottom), which was HEAVENLY. Spinach + candied pecans + cranberries + feta cheese = HEAVEN.
The Don is one of their popular pizzas, and it includes meatballs, pepperoni, and fresh, hand-pinched sausage. They like to add the sausage raw and allow it to cook in their coal-fired brick ovens so the juices leave on some of that moisture and flavor. It was soooo delicious! I also tried their gluten free crust (made with brown rice flour with a touch of butter) which was impressively tasty. Most pizza places have disappointing gluten-free crusts but Grimaldi’s was a lot like the real thing! You can also create your own pizza and add on sauces/toppings that satisfy your taste buds.
If you can– and I know it’s hard– leave some room for dessert. Listen closely when I tell you this: DO. NOT. SLEEP. ON. THE. BUTTERSCOTCH. TOFFEE. CHEESECAKE! It’s been a week since this dinner and I’ve thought about this cheesecake about 12 times already. 13. Treat yourself!
