Carol Grimaldi (née Lancieri, May 20, 1938 – April 10, 2014) was an American restaurateur and co-founder of Grimaldi's Pizzeria. In 1933, her uncle, Pasquale Lancieri, founded the Patsy's Pizzeria in Harlem, which was one of the first pizzerias in Harlem. The Harlem-born Grimaldi and her husband were forced to change the name from Patsy's to Grimaldi's in the mid-1990s, due to a dispute with another restaurant. 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 Juliana's Pizzeria, the couple decided to re-open the former pizzeria business in 2011.
