Grimaldi's Pizzeria Coming Soon to Park Meadows

    SCOTTSDALE, AZ, May 20, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Grimaldi's Pizzeria, famously known for their award-winning hand-tossed, coal-fired brick oven pizzas and calzones, fresh salads and delicious desserts has announced its plans to open their third location in Colorado's Only Retail Resort, Park Meadows. Grimaldi's is expected to open in the exclusive shopping center late summer. Grimaldi's Pizzeria will occupy a 3,100 square foot space that includes a patio and private event dining. Other Grimaldi's locations in Colorado include Denver Pavilions.

"Grimaldi's is not just about pizza. We are a community-based concept and we could think of no better family atmosphere, than the Park Meadows property," said Joe Ciolli, Chief Executive Officer of Grimaldi's Pizzeria, "We think our brand will be an excellent fit for both the City of Lone Tree and the community that surrounds the retail resort."

Grimaldi's pizzeria has shown tremendous growth in 2014 and has promised to continue their local national expansion plans throughout 2015. This year, they were named top 50 fastest growing restaurant group by Restaurant Business Magazine. Grimaldi's Pizzeria currently has thirty-seven locations across the US, including: Texas, Nevada, Florida, Arizona, Colorado, California, Louisiana, Idaho South Carolina and its flagship stores in New York City. They also have announced other signed leases in Fort Collins, Colorado and Overland Park, Kansas.

In the world of pizza, Grimaldi's is an institution that has garnered more awards than any other pizzeria in the country, with more celebrity sightings than most 5-star restaurants. Using only the freshest ingredients, a "secret recipe" pizza sauce, handmade mozzarella cheese and dough, Grimaldi's serves traditional pizza (as it began in Naples, Italy) in an upscale yet casual, family oriented pizzeria.

Designed and built by hand, the coal-fired oven at Grimaldi's Pizzeria delivers a unique flavor and consistency that is just not possible from wood or gas ovens. Weighing in at 25 tons and heated by 100 pounds of coal per day (cleanest burning fuel available and environmentally tested), the oven heats up to 1,200 degrees. The intense heat of the oven evenly bakes the pies to create Grimaldi's famous crispy and smoky thin crust that Zagat has voted best pizza, year after year.

It has been said that the secret to true New York-style pizza is the water. Grimaldi's believes that too, going to great lengths to keep the integrity of the water used in the Brooklyn pizzeria by hiring a chemist to analyze and recreate the mineral content and exact composition of the water to ensure the dough tastes the same in Colorado.

Grimaldi's offers guests a selection of beers, as well as an extensive list of wines (by the glass and bottle) to complement their freshly prepared salads, hand tossed pizzas and calzones and famous desserts. For more information on Grimaldi's Pizzeria visit http://www.grimaldispizzeria.com.
