New Yorker’s are always touting how good their pizza is and today, thanks to a fairly new establishment in Brooklyn, they can put a smile on their faces. Brooklyn’s own Julianna’s Pizza, an eatery established in 2012 by Patsy Grimaldo has been named the best pizza joint in American, according to a TripAdvisor study based on quality and quantity of reviews from millions of travelers.
Juliana’s Pizza, located on Old Fulton Street in DUMBO, is known for its thin crust pizza that is charred to perfection under a coal-fired hearth. One TripAdvisor reviewer said, “The main reason why Patsy Grimaldi is an institution is because he does make outstanding pizza! After all these years, the perfect crust, great tomatoes, delicious mozzarella and toppings galore; try them all, you can’t go wrong.”
Two other New York pizzerias also made the top 10. Keste, on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village who is known for its authentic Neapolitan pizza, came in at No. 4. And John’s Pizzeria, also on Bleecker street, came in at No. 10. Overall, New York City was named the second best city in the country for pizza, behind Chicago.
