Grimaldi's Pizzeria is an American pizzeria chain based in the New York City area, they have restaurants in New Jersey and southern and northern parts of the US. Its most famous restaurant is under the Brooklyn Bridge in Brooklyn at 1 Front Street, next door to its original location. It does not sell slices, only whole pies. The pizzas are famous made using a coal-fired brick oven. ==History== Patsy Grimaldi, the founder of Grimaldi's, learned to make pizza at Patsy's Pizzeria, his uncle Patsy Lancieri's restaurant in Italian Harlem in 1941 at age ten. He eventually opened his own restaurant, Grimaldi's Pizzeria in Brooklyn, which he originally also named Patsy's. Grimaldi originally planned to build it in Manhattan. However, he believed that coal-fired brick ovens produced the best pizza, and that it was illegal to build new coal ovens in Manhattan. As a result, he moved to the current location at Fulton Ferry, Brooklyn. In 1991, Grimaldi’s aunt, Carmela Lancieri, sold the East Harlem restaurant along with its naming and branding rights to a corporation, which franchised the Patsy’s name to other Manhattan restaurants. In 1995, the corporation sued Patsy Grimaldi for naming his restaurant Patsy’s Pizzeria, which eventually led Grimaldi to change the name of his restaurant to Patsy Grimaldi’s in 1996.〔 Also in 1991, husband and wife, Pasquale and Carol Grimaldi, opened Grimaldi's Pizzeria at its present location at 19 Old Fulton Street in Brooklyn. The couple operated the pizzeria until 1998, when they sold the restaurant and its branding rights to Frank Ciolli.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/13/nyregion/carol-grimaldi-dies-at-76-owned-esteemed-pizzeria.html )〕 Carol and Pasquale Grimaldi soon regretted selling the business, leading to a public dispute over pizza quality, potential competition and ownership of the branded name.〔 Following numerous disagreements between Ciolli and the Brooklyn landlord relating to Ciolli's failure to pay rent and city taxes for the Brooklyn location, the Brooklyn landlord did not renew Ciolli's lease for the Brooklyn location. Ciolli left behind the coal oven that made Patsy Grimaldi's pizza famous and moved Grimaldi's to the former Ferrybank Restaurant building, next door to the old location. Patsy Grimaldi, the original owner of Grimaldi's, has returned to the 19 Old Fulton Street, Brooklyn location to open a pizza restaurant named Juliana's, a tribute to his late mother.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grimaldi's Pizzeria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
