Good pizza, good friends.

Last night I met up with an old friend in oldtown Scottsdale. Usually I'd hate to drive my Scooter during rush hour down into Scottsdale, because a) most people in Scottsdale drive badly b) they drive big vehicles, and c) they drive fast. Becuase I left early and went through a bit of exploring, I found out that 64th street bends and curves its way down to McDonald - or at least I found my way down there pretty well nonetheless.

I travelled down to the fashion square mall to meet Kelly, who didn't know where to go for dinner. When she arrived I craved pizza, and so we headed out to Grimaldis, because they supposedly had the best pizza in old town.

Right north of main on Scottsdale, grimaldis is a great traditional pizza place, with a big wood fired oven in the back. They had the details down, from the simple menu to the checkered red and white tablecloths. The constant references to the mob in their menus are a little campy, but all in good fun.

We ordered a small garlic and fresh tomato pizza and a Fulton street salad. The Fulton Street Salad was a cucumber, tomato, feta cheese salad - Almost greek, but not quite. The small pizza is something like 16" wide. We finished about half of each between the two of us. The food was excellent, the cucumbers were English, the tomatoes were perfect, and the cheese wasn't oily, and very tasty.

Great place for a big meal without killing the wallet, food plus two drinks was less than $30.
