Grimaldi's Pizza to Open 24/7 Joint in Old Limelight Space

Grimaldi's Pizza, one of Brooklyn's oldest and most popular pizza destinations, is expanding to Manhattan in a big way. Sometime in mid-April, the newly renovated Limelight Marketplace is expected to open, replacing the famous nightclub with over 60 boutique retailers in the 163-year-old deconsecrated Chelsea church. Grimaldi’s Pizza will fill an approximately 1,200 square foot location off the 6th Avenue entrance, and also sell pies out of a round-the-clock to-go window. It's unclear from the press release if pizza by the slice—not an option at the DUMBO Grimaldi's—will be sold, but this looks like a guaranteed hit either way.

actually they have been open for a lot longer than 1990 lol i have been going there and can tell you they have been open a long time but for those not in the know (ahem) like synik they used to be called patsy's than due to legal troubles with the original patsy's they had to change their name get your facts straight before you go all paranoid and spout conspiracy theories buddy

You've been fooled again! They've only been around since 1990.

Damn, and I was planning on avoiding that retail shitshow.

Nom nom nom.

I will say the Grimaldi's outposts in Garden City and Douglaston are still good but not as good as the original. Most be the oven.
