Carol Grimaldi (1938 – April 10, 2014) was an American restauranteur and co-founder of Grimaldi's Pizzeria. She was born in 1938 in Harlem, New York. In 1933, her uncle, Pasquale Lancieri, founded the Patsy’s Pizzeria in Harlem, which was one of the first pizzerias in Harlem. Grimaldi, alongside her husband, opened the first "Grimaldi" pizzeria in 1990. Eight years after the opening of the pizzeria, Grimaldi and her husband sold the pizzeria, and retired from the restaurant business. While still remaining in different business enterprises throughout the years, including Juliannas Pizzeria, the couple decided to re-open the former pizzeria business. As of today, the Grimaldi pizzeria business has become global.
