ProHouston Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Grimaldi's Pizzeria of Brooklyn will be opening a new location outside of the tri-state area with a new restaurant at the First Colony Courtyard. While the sign has been up for months, nobody was sure whether it was actually the same Grimaldi's or when it would open. It is now confirmed to be the famed Brooklyn pizzeria and to open next summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyman2005 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 This is great news, but the big question is why in the heck would this pizza place open a joint in Sugar Land?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniepwils Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I am guessing someone in their family was transfered here for work, and that persons spouse is part of that restaurant family, and decided to open one up here.I know it is far fetched!

brucesw Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 More likely a franchise - they're already in Phoenix and Las Vegas. Maybe someone's bought the territory and there'll be more.Grimaldi's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displaced Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Vegas and Phoenix make sense. Phoenix is popular with the witness relo program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fringe Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Have been there twice now and it's awesome. Finally, I don't have to drive into H-town to get decent pizza. review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, I don't have to drive into H-town to get decent pizza. review I haven't been there yet so I can't disagree. However, Sugar Land is home to my favorite pizza place, Pepperonis. Great food, great prices, great neighborhood restaurant. And I don't even work for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebus Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 It finally opened? I swear I drove through there just a few weeks ago and they still hadn't broken ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's done, but there's no 'real' sign, just a banner hanging on the building. The pizza was good and the prices were reasonable, but the place is VERY small and there's no lobby. By 6:30pm there were a lot of people crammed against the walls waiting for tables (kind of makes you feel pressured while you eat). The waiter was good, but getting the food took forever, but I think they are still working the kinks out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fringe Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yeah. Best to avoid it for now on a Friday or Saturday night. They are jam-packed and do not have a very good seating system. They have no real way of announcing your name when a table is ready so you have to hang out close to the front and keep checking where you are on the list. All this and to go orders to boot, it does take a while to get your food. But like you say, they are still working out the kinks. They do have a full bar though and outside seating when the weathers nice. I'll have to try Pepperonis. I've seen they're flyer's but have never eaten one of their pizzas.

I never do delivery as I live close to 2 locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only saw 2 seating areas, but my husband told me later there was another one in the back. I thought there was just an "L" shape around the cooking area, but I guess it's really a "U". I'm kind of claustrophic and the people lining the outer walls probably was what made it feel small to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
