How New York’s Best Pizzeria Makes 140,000 Pizzas In Its Coal-Fired Oven Every Year | Big Batches

By



Grimaldi’s is a legendary pizzeria in New York City known for its authentic New York-style coal-oven pizza. Over the past 30 years, it has gained the admiration of both tourists and locals. Recently, Joe Avella, a host of Insider’s “Food Tours,” named it the best in New York City: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tFIy-PYGDo&t=1257s

But what truly sets the pizzeria apart is its production volume and team. Each day, veteran pizzaiolos hand-stretch 500 pies, expertly slice 200 pounds of fresh mozzarella, and manage a 1,000-degree oven.

While the pizzeria has changed hands over the years and expanded to more than 45 locations across the United States, the Brooklyn flagship has preserved the traditional recipes and kept most of its original staff.

We visited Grimaldi’s flagship to see how it makes its pizzas in such big batches.

    That is 383 pizza's each day of the year – Wow~! I would say they know what they are doing & I wish they had been in NYC when I was stationed in the navy yard. Shalom

    There are 576,500 minutes approximately in a year. They make 140,000. You telling me the make almost 1 pizza every 4 minutes based on a 24 hour operation?

    Saying "Servers with over 20 years of experience" with such proudness makes me feel sick. Don't waste your life serving the rich, people wake up and live your dream.

    Wow! No gloves or hair net especially with that long hair. Had this been from a developing country, the lecture about maintaining hygeine would have been never-ending. Hypocrisy much.
