Grimaldi’s Pizzeria, famously known for their award-winning hand-tossed, coal-fired brick oven pizzas are now partnering with SanTan Brewery on the ultimate pizza and craft brew pairing. With both businesses emphasizing pairing driven menus and top quality ingredients, this highly anticipated promotion is sure to impact the local dining community.
In the past decade, Grimaldi’s has brought over 100-years of pizza making traditions and the tantalizing aroma of pizza and calzones baked to perfection, in the signature coal burning oven. While they have offered select wine and pizza pairings the chance to work with a local business of the caliber of San Tan Brewery, has proven a perfect partnership. Both businesses are locally owned and operated out of the Phoenix area. Head Chef Cory Lattuca and Head Brewer Anthony Canecchia are currently developing the ultimate pairing of coal fired pizza and the west coast pale ale, Devil’s Ale.
In the world of pizza, Grimaldi’s is an institution that has garnered more awards than any other pizzeria in the country with more celebrity sightings than most 5-star restaurants. Using only the freshest ingredients, a “secret recipe” pizza sauce, handmade mozzarella cheese and dough, Grimaldi’s serves traditional pizza (as it began in Naples, Italy) in an upscale yet casual, family oriented pizzeria.
Designed and built by hand, the coal-fired oven at Grimaldi’s Pizzeria delivers a unique flavor and consistency that is just not possible from wood or gas ovens. Weighing in at 25 tons and heated by 100 pounds of coal per day (cleanest burning fuel available and environmentally tested), the oven heats up to 1,200 degrees. The intense heat of the oven evenly bakes the pies to create Grimaldi’s famous crispy and smoky thin crust that Zagat has voted best pizza year after year.
In 2007, the historic Valley National Bank, in Downtown Chandler was transformed into a destination for Craft Beer and food lovers alike with the opening of SanTan Brewing Company. Our goal at the brewpub is to provide a neighborhood spot where family, friends or colleagues can gather and enjoy a cold pint of freshly brewed beer using only the finest malts, hops and barley! In addition to our core beers on draught year round, Brewmaster Anthony Canecchia surprises SanTan fans with specialty seasonal beers, a weekly Cask Conditioned Ale release as well as guest beers from brewers both local and around the nation. As the Brewmaster always says...Craft Beer for Beer Drinkers!
One of their most recognizable and newsworthy craft brews Devil's Ale is of the new breed of West Coast American Ales. Using fresh Cascade and Centennial hops grown in the Pacific Northwest, Devil's Ale is known for it’s light citrusy hop flavor balanced with a firm caramel malt character. Deep, golden-maroon in color, the Devil's Ale is a pub favorite that goes excellent with everything from bacon cheeseburgers to filet mignon.
Grimaldi’s Pizzeria (grimaldispizzeria.com) will first announce the selected pairing in September. What is certain is their continued support for local businesses and continued quest for quality ingredients.
