You could spend two hours or more of your New York City vacation waiting for a slice of Grimaldi's pizza, or you could stop by the West Village location in Dallas before you go. The slice you see here is a Brooklyn favorite known as Margherita pizza. This is pure pizza without blinding flavors and a recipe that allows you to taste the purity of the sauce, cheese and crust. When I used to order it in Brooklyn at Amorina Pizza on Vanderbilt, it would come with sauce, basil and round pads of mozzarella. Grimaldi's came close, though I think I would prefer it without the tomatoes. Anyway, the atmosphere is great, it's located on the McKinney streetcar line and you'll find it hard to argue with a more than 90 percent favorable rating on Urban Spoon.
