This was our second pizza stop in the city and it might be my favorite! Ordered two medium pies, which was more than enough for our party of 4. We got the margherita and the no. 3 special and I really liked both! The toppings were great and the crust was delicious. The margherita was my favorite and getting a slice with a good amount of cheese on it was simply amazing. Service was good in taking our order and explaining the menu. One thing to note is that they only take orders by the pie. Plenty of seating inside, there was a short line at around 12:30 PM on a Saturday but it moved super fast. Great Pizza Spot in Brooklyn and worth the visit! read more

Decent sauce, nice toppings, but what's up with the soggy crust? Being wanting to visit this famous pizza spot for the last few years. Came here in the past and always a line out the door so didn't bother. Finally had a chance to try yesterday for late lunch with a friend when there were many empty tables inside, so no line and no waiting. We ordered a medium Margarita based pizza with pepperoni & roasted peppers toppings. We were really surprisd the pizza came out in less than 5 minutes after waiter served us our drink order. Upon biting into it, right away what popped up in my head is 'why is the pizza crust so soggy?' Maybe the knife & fork on the table should've been a dead give away. One saving Grace is the sauce does have a sweetness to it, not tangy like some other famous shop in the Village. And also the 2 toppings were tasty enough to save this dining experice. Before leaving the restaurant, asked our waiter about the crust, he said since restaurant wasn't busy, the kitchen had already pre-made the pizzas, so it was just a matter of heating it and bring it out, hence the fast service. Pro-tip: next time (a big if for this reviewer), one must ask the crust be 'well-done,' in order to get its texture to the desired degree of cripiness that one should expect from what should have been an iconic pizza place in NYC. read more

Went to check out the Brooklyn Bridge and stopped by Juliana's right before it opened. There was already a line, so glad we got in just at the right time and didn't have to wait. The pizzas we ordered were great. It felt like a more Neapolitan style pizza than a New York Style. Either way, I loved it. Great little pizza spot. read more

This place cranks awesome pizzas out fast. Friendly and fast. Don't forget about the mid-afternoon coal stoking when the are closed, from 3:15-4pm every day. The best was the calzone which wasn't just plain ricotta but seasoned like for shells or cannelloni with an amazing sauce. The crust on the pizza was excellent!!! Love!!! read more

We were one of the first customers seated, and right away we noticed how clean and welcoming the environment felt. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, which made the experience even better. Our server, Yakima (I hope I'm spelling that correctly!), was such a sweetheart. She was attentive, patient, and incredibly helpful while we tried to decide what to order. We weren't sure which pizzas to choose, and she suggested getting two small pizzas and doing them half-and-half -- which was the perfect idea. One of them was half white and half traditional sauce with pepperoni and prosciutto. You could truly taste the freshness in every bite. The ingredients were flavorful, high quality, and not overly heavy. It was satisfying without feeling too filling, which we loved. Between the delicious pizza and Yakima's kind customer service, we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

First time visiting this spot and I truly enjoyed it! It was definitely packed when we got there but it was a family friendly place. The Pizza was delicious, I love the thin crust and cheesy. The lentil soup was okay, needed a little bit more salt but overall it was a great experience. The staff were friendly and patient. read more

Rare time my fellow Yelpers let me down with 5 star reviews as this pizza simply was not worth the $30+ dollars for a medium with 2 toppings. The crust is so thin and cracker-like I thought it was Gluten Free. Real NY pizza crust should have that nice chew. Sauce, cheese, and toppings were just ok but the star of the pizza (the dough) really let me down. I lived in NYC for 25 years so I know good pizza. The place and service were nice but I was shocked (considering the reviews) how average the pizza tasted. Sorry guys. read more

10000/10 will come back here very time I visit New York! I'll probably visit New York just to come to Juliana's. It was a very cold day in Brooklyn and it was so cozy, relaxed and no rush or wait at all inside Juliana's. It was perfect. I always get a large white with garlic with meatballs at Grimaldis and so I definitely had to take advantage of it here. Once I saw the flat pepperoni like meatballs, I knew the pizza would be a delicacy. It was the best meal I had my entire trip to NY. I did not get a better shot of their salad but it was super acidic (the very good kind) and a perfect starter. If you love olives, lime and salt then get this for you. Can't wait to come back! read more

This is the place everyone said to go after walking the Brooklyn bridge. Maybe my hopes were too high, but it was a little disappointing. The pizza is well made, but options are very limited and prices are super high. There are only 4 options that you can customize (one doesn't have cheese- the one with "normal" pizza sauce- so you pay $5 extra if you want that- otherwise you can get margherita pizza or white sauce as your other options). Then there are a couple more supreme options that adults will like. If it's what you're looking for it'll be great but it's good to know! They also rush you in and out because it's so busy (we went on a Monday afternoon). read more

All the hype all the talk so we had to stop. Small place nice clean great service. Line around the corner but we were there as it opened. Ordered the OG pizza to experience it. That's where it ended. Totally overrated... maybe this is what you think is best pizza or type. None of us at the table felt this. No digs just not our style or taste! read more

Very popular sitdown pizza in Brooklyn, with the crowds and lines to back it up. Dining room inside isn't that large, hence the wait, and you'll be sitting close to other tables giving some ambience. Ordered the #4 pizza and it was thin, crisp, tasty, salty, everything you need in a pizza without tasting too greasy or overly filling. The arugula on top was excessive, unless you're an arugula lover, but it was easy to pick off. read more

So we rolled up on this place after walking the Brooklyn bridge in the evening on a Friday around 8pmish in September. We were 9 and they accommodated us on two tables side by side. This restaurant is small so seating a party of 9 was a big win! The service welcoming and efficient and overall "top shelf" - 5 stars. it's a cozy restaurant, the ambience and vibes were perfect - 5 stars. The beer selection was on point, I had a local IPA (I think Stonewall) and it hit the spot after the long day of walking NYC that day. The pizza was absolutely phenomenal...apparently this place is popular as a NYC fav, I can see why. Food and drink - 5 stars Highly Recommend when in NYC!!! Overall - 5 Stars!! read more

a bit overrated, imo. I appreciate the pizza lore in DUMBO, but Juliana's had been a bit disappointing. it is a small menu and the pizza toppings are both very overpriced and not that great in variety. we ended up getting two large pies split between four people, which was not quite enough to be full. the interior was honestly a bit slimmer than I thought and maybe not the best place for large groups? the service was nice, if a bit slow. the pizza was good but fell short of my experiences elsewhere. read more

So good! We've been to Grimaldi's in AZ and Juliana's is 10x better than that, which I wasn't sure was possible. Food was great, service was helpful and fast. Thanks Edilberto! read more

Needed a bite that was kid friendly, Juliana's did not disappoint. We walked over from Time Out Market, immediately got a table inside for 5. The server was quick and could tell it was our first time. He made some recommendations and was back in no time at all. The inside was cute and you could tell it gets packed by a certain time, we were early around 5pm then the rush came. I like that you can see the team preparing the dough, they looked happy to be there making magic happen. Pizza was out fairly quickly and had the most perfect thin crust. My kids loved it and for a pie to be considered good by the entire crew is no small feat. We weren't able to finish but the leftovers made for a perfect reheat when we made it back to our hotel. I wish we hadn't eaten so much ice cream prior to dinner so we could've tried a dessert. The ring dings and tiramisu were calling me. 10/10 would encourage you to stop in and give it a try when in the area. Not crowded, easy access to bathroom and delicious meal. read more

Visiting Brooklyn, New York for the first time, we stopped by Juliana's for dinner. Juliana's is a classic Italian spot serving wood-fired New York-style pizza. The vibe feels authentic -- most of the staff seemed to be Italian themselves. As a table of two, we waited briefly in line before getting seated inside. We ordered the Margherita pizza and the White pizza with mushrooms. Both are well-known choices here, so it was a no-brainer. The pizzas came stacked on top of each other, and we got the smallest size for both -- perfect portions for two people. The pizzas were excellent overall -- maybe not the single best I've ever had, but definitely flavorful, well-cooked, and satisfying. The White pizza with mushrooms stood out for me, though the Margherita held its own. Both were classic thin-crust, New York-style pies done right. Pricing and serving size felt fair. One critique: I'd love to see Juliana's expand their menu with more specialty pizzas beyond the usual tomato-base or white options. Overall, a great dinner spot in Brooklyn. I'd happily return next time I'm in the area. Last visited: August 23, 2025 read more

I got two large pizzas (a white pizza & a Margherita) to go here and it cost almost $70. The pizza itself was OK. I personally prefer Grimaldi's. I learned that they do not have any current affiliation with Grimaldi's. The service also is OK. I went in multiple times to check if the pizza was ready and they did seem annoyed, but they were very busy as well. They are known for their Margherita pizza, but they only sell whole pies and not slices. They do not have gluten-free or vegan pizzas either. They are open daily from 11:30 AM to 3:15 PM and again from 4 PM to 9 PM. They have this break to stoke their coal-fired pizza oven apparently. In terms of the ambiance, they are very busy and have plenty of seating. Parking is very limited though. They also do not take reservations so make sure your entire party is present in order to be seated. read more

We visited the DUMBO area and stopped at Juliana's before heading to the subway. A cute little pizza place. At 6:00 pm on a Tuesday evening, there was no waiting line for a table for 2 and we were seated immediately. By 6:30 all the tables were taken. Nice helpful and attentive customer service. We ordered a medium Margherita pizza + Pepperoni. I was surprised at how quick the pizza came out....piping hot with a nice thin crunch. Yum! read more

My family had been raving about the pizza at Juliana's for a while. Having lived in NJ for a long time and after prior travels to Italy, I wasn't sure that I was going to be that impressed by pizza in DUMBO. Oh boy was I wrong! The pizza is the perfect NY slice. It leans a little Italian, but it is still a classic NY slice. Thin crust, great sauce, plenty of cheese. The line outside is proof that the pizza is good. The hostess however was able to seat my party of 5 pretty quickly, and we ordered and received our food quickly as well. The inside is like a typical NY/NJ Italian restaurant. Nothing fancy, but the ambiance doesn't need to be great when the food is good! Certainly worth checking out if you're in DUMBO and are craving some great pizza! read more

Absolutely some of the best pizza I have ever had. Very small spot but man do they stay busy. True Italian cuisine and will absolutely be returning. read more

Juliana's - White pizza with mushrooms - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My wife and I decided to finally try Juliana's after hearing some raving reviews from friends who have gone before. We knew it would be fairly touristy (with prices to match), so we set our expectations appropriately. We went on a Sunday evening and it was PACKED, with about a 20 min wait in line. Totally fine and what we expected. The pizza itself was delicious - we got the No.1 (I love a good white slice) and a marg pizza with pepperoni. While both were good, the meat itself tasted a tad gamey. The crust was incredible (and I'm not generally a big crust person). Would still recommend to others who are in the area - especially if there is a little wait. read more

I really wanted to love this place. After seeing it hyped up all over TikTok, I had high hopes--but sadly, it just didn't deliver for me. The pizza tasted surprisingly similar to something like Red Baron grocery store pizza, which was a real letdown given the buzz. That said, the decor, facilities, and staff were all fantastic--clean, friendly, and welcoming. The experience itself was pleasant... the flavor just didn't live up to the expectations or the social media hype. Maybe it was an off day, or maybe it just wasn't my style--but for all the love Juliana's gets online, I walked away underwhelmed. read more

This is the second time I've been here. The first time was years ago and we got to meet the owner, who was really cool. It was a great experience. This time, not so much. The staff miscommunicated the table wait time to my wife and gave out table to someone else. So, we had to wait another 10 mins after already waiting for 20. Second, they messed up our order twice. We ordered two pies, a Margherita Pizza and a White Pizza. The Margherita came in on time. The White one was sent to another table. They apologized and said our pizza would come in within 2 to 3 minutes. No biggie. However, 10 mins passed and we asked for our pizza. They apparently forgot and scrambled to get it. It finally arrived. The pizzas are still very good and worth the wait. The current staff, unfortunately, could use better training and time management. read more

The best pizza is here!! Yes better than Lombardis! We got Mahgarita and White Pizza. On my white pizza I got extra arugula and basil! Service is amazing. I suggest getting it to go. Prepare to wait for some deliciousness! read more

This was such a fun place....usually you'll order outside in some long line (not a long line when we got there) and then I guess grab a seat on the inside or out, but my cousin has the hookup! They came out to get us and sat us at the bar with the view of the kitchen and the hot pizza oven and got the whole show. I had a local beer and their hand tossed fresh pizza and it's very good! The sauce was light enough (especially for me) and the owner and staff were very personable friendly. This location is in the heart of DUMBO and it was decent pizza. I think coming from FL, it should be considered amazing, but I'm not a huge pizza person, but I like it ok... this was decent. I did like that the personal sized pizza were actually sized well enough for one person! I ate the whole thing! read more

Must must must go. Reading through travel blogs and saw Juliana's on the list. We visited on a late afternoon early evening on a Monday. Man, was it busy and very loud! I was quite surprised by this given the time of day during the week. The employees work hard and orders come out quickly so they are able to turn over tables quickly for the next guests. Thankfully, with only two people, we were able to get one of a few tables open. We were served water right away and the staff checked in. We ordered the No. 1 pizza. Turnaround time was fast and O-M-G was it good. Totally worth it and some of the best pizza I have ever had. We were hoping for leftovers but sadly that didn't happen. Probably unlike most people, I'm all about the crust. I would eat a pizza made entirely of this crust without sauce, cheese, or toppings. 5/5 stars - would very much recommend read more

Juliana's - No. 1 medium - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

After hearing a number of people tell me this was one of the better pizza spots and seeing a massive line over Memorial day weekend, I was pretty excited to try the pizza here. Unfortunately expectations were not met as this was my least favorite of the 5 pizza spots I tried while visiting New York. I came back a few days after Memorial day when there was no line to be seated and ordered the No. 4 special, which comes with arugula and proscuitto. The crust was overly charred at the bottom and the underlying cheese was bland enough that I felt like I was eating a salad instead of a pizza even after taking off a good amount of the arugula off. Perhaps it was just an off night given the generally positive reviews this spot gets but I personally did not have a good experience here. read more

The pizza was amazing - I had the margarita pizza. The cheese, the sauce, the crust. My server recommended it and he was spot on!

I was a little hesitant on visiting Juliana's at first when there are so many other options to choose from, however, we were in a bind and hungry. Juliama's far exceeded my expectations and if I'm honest, it has been one of my favorite pizzas so far in NY. First, we didnt have reservation amd were able to walk right in and get a seat (keep in mind this a Thursday night in February) Wanted to keep it simple, so just ordered the Margherita Pizza and added garlic. Pizza came out very quickly and the pie looked and tasted amazing. The pizza was very light so didnt walk away feeling overstuffed, however, it had so much flavor and they clearly use quality ingredients. The sauce was on the sweeter side but it paired well with the rest of the ingredients. The place itself seemed like a quintessential NY pizza joint and was buzzing which gave it a nice vibe. Would love to come back if I had more time! read more

We tried Grimaldi's on our last visit to Brooklyn so we wanted to try Juliana's this time around. Juliana's is cozy, crowded but it was a good coal-fired pizza. We ordered a medium mushroom pepperoni pizza for 4 of us. The pizza was a thin crust with a little char. Good pizza but not elaborate pizza. Overall the flavor was good but not extra-ordinary. In fact, I had to ask for pepper flakes to bring out the flavor. We had two small slices each, so if you are a big eater than medium would not be enough for you. I think my experience at Grimaldi's next door was more memorable pizza than Juliana's. read more

Juliana is a very quaint Italian location located near the Brooklyn Bridge entrance in Brooklyn. They specialized in coal fired pizza but also offer meatballs as well as spaghetti and meatballs. The pizza is range in size from personal up to large. I got the margarita Personal pan pizza and it was delicious! The crust is super thin and the sauce was so simplistic and I loved how you could taste the natural ingredients. Personal pan was definitely perfect size for me. It's four slices but it was perfect. My husband got the spaghetti and meatballs and spaghetti was perfectly cooked and the meatballs are each about 4 ounces in size so they're a good size meatball and they were amazingly seasoned. Again, there's nothing flashy about this location. It's just good home-cooked Italian food read more

The pizza is quite good. I was able to get in with almost no wait on a Sunday evening an hour before closing, though a line formed behind me rather quickly as I was waiting for the table to get ready. We tried the arugula salad, #2 pizza (veggie option), calzone, and an egg cream. Everything was pretty good, with the calzone being a standout from the creamy ricotta and distinct black pepper flavor. The pizza crust is thin, but still a bit chewy. The meal worked out to $30 per person for four people. I'm not sure it's worth waiting more than 15-20 minutes to get seated, but it's worth it if there's not much of a line. read more

TLDR: Cozy spot + great coal-fired pizza, friendly service. Personal-sized pizzas may be slightly small for bigger appetites. Would return! We chose Juliana's for our first pizza experience in NYC based on its stellar reviews and my love for coal-fired pizza. We called ahead, and they estimated a 20-30 minute wait, but we were seated immediately when we arrived around 7:30 PM. The restaurant had a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff was friendly. The menu was straightforward, making it easy to decide. We ordered a margherita pizza for me, a pepperoni pizza for my husband, and a salad to share. The salad was simple but fresh, with a tasty vinaigrette. The pizzas arrived hot from the coal oven with a crisp crust and well-balanced flavors, although a little burned. The margherita had a great sauce-to-cheese ratio, and the pepperoni had just the right amount of spice. The portion was perfect for me, but my husband could have used an extra slice or two. I was tempted to try the spaghetti and meatballs but was too full. Overall, Juliana's delivered a solid first NYC pizza experience, and we'll be back next time we're in Brooklyn! read more

My pizza was fine, but I'm not sure what the critics rave about. I ordered a margarita with pepper and ricotta toppings. The pepper was good, but I was expecting a lot less ricotta than what was on the pizza. There was so much ricotta on the pizza that it was too sweet and the pizza got soggy after the first slice. The Number 4 (mozzarella, tomato sauce, arugula, and prosciutto) was somewhat boring to me. I was looking for something more savory. Now that L&B has finally opened their downtown Brooklyn location on the same street, I would sooner go there. read more
