Grimaldi’s Pizzeria — A Taste of Brooklyn’s Most Iconic Coal-Fired Pizza at The Shops at Clearfork in Fort Worth
When New York’s most celebrated pizza tradition meets one of Fort Worth’s most upscale dining destinations, the result is something worth making a reservation for. Grimaldi’s Pizzeria at The Shops at Clearfork brings over 100 years of Brooklyn pizza-making heritage to Cowtown, and the coal-fired brick oven at the heart of the kitchen makes all the difference. The most award-winning pizzeria in the United States, Grimaldi’s uses real ingredients, fresh-sliced mozzarella, and a secret recipe dough and pizza sauce that have been perfected over generations. Pizzas and calzones are baked to perfection in the signature coal-burning oven, delivering a tantalizing aroma, unique flavor, and crisp crust that is simply not possible from gas, convection, or wood-burning ovens.
The menu centers on hand-tossed coal brick-oven pizzas including the classic Margherita with secret recipe tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella, the White with extra mozzarella and garlic, the Pesto with fresh mozzarella and basil pesto, and creative specialty pies like the Hot Honey Pepperoni drizzled with Mike’s Hot Honey and the Garden White topped with pesto, mushrooms, white onions, and jalapeño. Gluten-friendly and cauliflower crust options are available for those with dietary needs. The Caesar salad is a standout worth ordering alongside any pizza, and the cheesecake — especially the blueberry when it’s available — rounds out a meal that from start to finish justifies the price point entirely. A full-service bar with a curated wine list, craft beers on draft, and a red sangria that pairs beautifully with any pie makes Grimaldi’s just as fitting for date night as it is for a family outing.
