Grimaldi's Pizza, one of Brooklyn's oldest and most popular pizza destinations, is expanding to Manhattan in a big way. Sometime in mid-April, the newly renovated Limelight Marketplace is expected to open, replacing the famous nightclub with over 60 boutique retailers in the 163-year-old deconsecrated Chelsea church. Grimaldi’s Pizza will fill an approximately 1,200 square foot location off the 6th Avenue entrance, and also sell pies out of a round-the-clock to-go window. It's unclear from the press release if pizza by the slice—not an option at the DUMBO Grimaldi's—will be sold, but this looks like a guaranteed hit either way.
