Madison, Alabama (May 13, 2026) – Power Brands Hospitality Group, the Alabama franchisee of Grimaldi’s Pizzeria, has officially opened its newest Grimaldi’s location at Clift Farm, 461 John Henry Way, Suite 850, in Madison, Alabama. The restaurant brings the brand’s award-winning, Brooklyn style coal-fired brick-oven pizzas to the North Alabama community. This opening marks the third Grimaldi’s location in the state and the 45th nationwide.
Spanning 3,940 square feet, the new restaurant blends Grimaldi’s classic New York-inspired aesthetic with a welcoming, neighborhood feel. Guests will find familiar design elements like black-and-white photography, handcrafted wine bottle chandeliers and cozy dining spaces, seating up to 179 guests. The restaurant also features a private party room accommodating up to 40 guests, ideal for group gatherings and celebrations.
“Madison has long been a key focus as we continue expanding across Alabama, and Clift Farm offers a vibrant, accessible environment with strong community engagement,” said Michael Flaum, COO of Grimaldi’s Pizzeria. “We’re excited to introduce our coal-fired pizza to new guests and become part of the area’s dynamic dining scene.”
Brooklyn Tradition Meets Southern Hospitality
At the heart of the menu are Grimaldi’s coal-fired pizzas and calzones, crafted using a proprietary dough recipe, fresh mozzarella and time-honored techniques rooted in Brooklyn. The menu also features a range of salads, starters and desserts, including the brand’s well-known New York-style cheesecake.
The Madison opening builds on the success of Power Brands Hospitality Group, the brand’s Alabama franchise partner, which first introduced Grimaldi’s to the Huntsville market in 2022.
“We’ve seen strong enthusiasm for the brand across North Alabama, making Madison a natural next step for our continued growth,” said Kumar Patel, Managing Partner at Power Brands Hospitality Group. “We’re looking forward to welcoming guests and continuing to grow alongside the community.”
With its combination of traditional techniques, elevated ingredients and a warm, approachable atmosphere, the new Clift Farm location serves as both an everyday dining destination and a gathering place for families, friends and the local community. Grimaldi’s offers a Stoking Social Hour promotion, available seven days a week from 3 to 5 p.m. at participating locations. While the expert pizza makers stoke the famous coal brick ovens, dine-in guests can enjoy $10 signature cocktails, $3 off starters and salads, $10 off bottles of wine and $2 off beer, wine, spritzes, sangria and mocktails.
