Grimaldi's Pizzeria will now serve its New York-style pizza in West Palm Beach, Fla. Like its other locations in Arizona, Nevada and Texas, the newest restaurant in the system will have a built-by-hand, coal-fired oven that weighs 25 tons and heated by 100 pounds of coal per day.
The intense heat of the oven evenly bakes the pies to create Grimaldi's crispy and smoky thin crust.
What's in the water?
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 Florida.
Grimaldi's Pizzeria wholly owns and operates locations in Phoenix, Tucson, Ariz., Las Vegas, Reno amd Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Fort Myers, and Corpus Christi, Texas. Additional locations in Texas are on the drawing board.
