Juliana’s

The Best Restaurants In Dumbo & Brooklyn Heights - New York - The Infatuation

"Juliana’s Pizza opened in 2012, but its pizza-making roots go all the way back to 1933. Patsy Grimaldi worked at his family's classic coal-oven pizzeria before opening Grimaldi’s in 1990. He eventually sold the name, but later opened Juliana’s in the original Grimaldi’s space. People still compare the two, but we’re team Juliana’s. The coal-fired pizza here is deeply charred, with a crust like a savory Wheat Thin that balances out the fresh-tasting, minimally seasoned tomato sauce. They don’t do slices, so grab a table in the dining room, where you can watch chefs pull pie after pie from a cavernous oven at the back. On weekends, you might find a line of people waiting, mostly from out of town." - willa moore, bryan kim, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, carina finn koeppicus, hannah albertine
