As the day progresses, the next step involves preparing their signature sauce. Grimaldi’s utilizes large cans of San Marzano tomatoes, blending them with sugar in buckets to create a rich, flavorful mixture. With a one-day shelf life, the sauce is designed to be used fresh, keeping the flavor profile vibrant and mouthwatering. They go through around 700 quarts of these premium tomatoes weekly, showcasing their commitment to quality.
Simultaneously, 200 pounds of mozzarella are hand-sliced into strips, following a method that has remained unchanged since the restaurant's inception. Grimaldi's cheese is unique, crafted specifically for their pizzeria to offer a distinct flavor that withstands the high heat of their coal oven.
