I can see why some people give Grimaldi's five stars -- their execution is consistently perfect. If you like the modern style of New York pizza, made with fresh mozzarella, you will enjoy your pie. Period. End of story. Well, not quite. Here are some issues:\n\n1. The salads are large but uninspired. Fresh, but just the usual ingredients.\n2. The crust is thin and crispy -- if you like bready crusts, go somewhere else.\n3. Here, the pizza is about the cheese, but the red sauce could be a bit better and more abundant.\n4. It gets crowded easily -- you may have to wait.\n\nThis are really just minor things, but they add up. Grimaldi's is a good pizzeria, but it is just a pizzeria after all.\n\nBy the way, they have another place in northern Scottsdale. In my opinion, this location is better. The pizzas up north have been soggy the two times I ate there.\n\nHint: I think the milder toppings are better here because the crust and cheese are the stars. Spicy pepperoni only detracts. You might like tomato and basil.-
