The owner of Grimaldi’s in Brooklyn has been served with eviction papers. Dorothy Waxman says her tenant, Frank Ciolli, owes her $44,000. Ciolli disputes how much he owes Waxman and says he paid his rent on time “for the most part.”
Have no fear, pizza/sceney folks – they’re moving to Manhattan anyway. Seems kinda funny that the epitome of NYC pizza is getting kicked out for back rent, though. It just makes it… so much more New Yorky.
Ciolli also owes the city nearly $12,350 in property taxes and business improvement district charges, according to court papers.
Now it just seems shady. What the hell has been going on over there?
If you’re interested, Grimaldi’s opened a place in Douglaston, Queens. Pretty sure it’s the same people (otherwise they shamelessly stole the “Under the Brooklyn Bridge” slogan and wrote a false back story to go with it =P ).
And yes, the pizza there is pretty amazing.
