Grimaldi’s story and charitable work
• Heritage: Founded beneath the Brooklyn Bridge in DUMBO, Grimaldi’s carries forward more than a century of New York pizza tradition, folding old‑world technique and neighborhood spirit into every pie served at our Huntsville location.
• Authenticity: Each pizza starts with their secret‑recipe dough, hand‑tossed daily and finished in signature coal‑fired brick ovens that create a blistered, smoky crust and a depth of flavor impossible with conventional ovens. Every ingredient is chosen for freshness and balance so each slice tastes rooted in Brooklyn authenticity.
• Craft and care: From house‑made sauces and fresh mozzarella to thoughtfully selected toppings, their team treats every order like a small craft project; consistent technique, careful timing, and the kind of attention that makes a simple pie feel special.
• Giving back: Grimaldi’s commitment to community is longstanding and active: since 2020 the brand has donated over $20,000 in gift cards and food to local charities, and nationally Grimaldi’s has raised more than $1.1 million for No Kid Hungry to help fight childhood hunger.
• Local impact: Beyond monetary gifts, Grimaldi’s team members volunteer time with schools, food banks, children’s hospitals, and animal shelters, focusing local efforts on children, pets, and education to ensure your visit supports meaningful community programs.
Practical tips for a smooth visit

• Order ahead when possible: call or check their website to preorder large pies or schedule a quick takeout pickup to minimize wait during peak trick‑or‑treat hours.
• Capture and share: snap costume photos near the IRR decorated dining area or signature backdrop; tag the restaurant and use event hashtags to show off your Halloween look.
• Bring small essentials: a compact wet wipe, hairpins, or face‑gem kit for quick costume touchups; a lightweight layer for cooler evenings.
