    Oh my goodness! Hands down the best meal in NYC during this short weekend trip! Found this place via IG. Probably ranks up there as one of the best pizzas for us. Super cute location in DUMBO area, smallish but not too small. High energy vibe. Service is great, attentive and friendly. We got the meatballs with tomato sauce. MUST get the tomato sauce - it is delicious! We also ordered a medium No. 2 and one of us had The Sixth Borough (cocktail). Simple ingredients but big flavors. Would recommend.

    Juliana's vs Grimaldi is the pizza battle of our generation. Go with Juliana Not my fav pizza (slices are not Krispy and flop) but this is a dumbo Brooklyn experience. Friendly staff. Fast service. Opens at 1130A. Get on line by 1115A because it can get long. Large is enough for 4 people and 2 slices each.

    Came 4 years ago and was excited to try the white pizza again! Came on a Saturday afternoon and had about 7 parties waiting in front of me. We got the large pizza half / half white pizza and Margherita w/ pepperoni and sausage added on. They don't discount the added ingredients even if you only add it to half the pizza. Pizza was just as good as I remembered. Always a family favorite for us and great spot to take pictures after or take the ferry

    Pizza is average to me but the service was great. I liked the thin crust but it was gooey and not crispy enough. It's a typical pizza spot nothing fancy but everyone was super friendly. I felt like the pizza needed more seasoning. A little bland to me. Fernando was excellent and very attentive. I'm giving an extra star because Fernando was great.

    Forget the City grab the cannoli!

    Forget the City grab the cannolis! So let's put a little history of this place. The original owner was there for a very long time and retired and sold the business off. It's an authentic recipe in another company bought it and built a pizza place up the road. Maybe 2 to 3 restaurants down. The owner got restless in retirement and didn't really like the way he left so he created Juliana's (his daughter's name) . I'm gonna tell you this. It's one of the best pizzas I've had in a very long time in New York City. It's actually in Brooklyn over in Dumbo. The service was above cloud bar! A super small place maybe 12 to 15 tables, but they are always packed and I happen to go there on a day that we were able to get in there right away. Now for the pizza. It's cooked on a coal stove right in the back and you can watch it being cooked. It cooks faster because of the heat and it comes out with such an amazing taste! light amount of cheese, tomatoes that come from Italy topped with a few leaves of basil All hand tossed. It reminds me of my uncle when he used to toss pizza in the house. Now - the cannoli was off the charts awesome! For sure this is a punch to the happy glands with every bite you take. Perfectly refrigerated cream that's prepared to order. I say that because they keep the cream chilled and the cookies on deck and when someone orders it, they fill the cookie with the cream right then in there. So we get perfect temperature and perfect crisp cookie. Even as we left the place, they asked if we had enough water in our jugs to go back uptown. They would've filled it up for us, but we have already done that. Thanks Rob for the suggestion I will for sure make it back there

    Margherita Pizza
    Jeremy S.

    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!

    Calzone
    David L.

    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!!!

    Small half with Pepperoni and the other half just sauce and cheese

    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!

    Inside was so cozy!!
    Catherine L.

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    Emily B.

    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.

    Amy W.

    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.

Waiting in line to get added to a waitlist that still doesn't always guarantee you will sit down to eat at the requested time - we were seated 40 mins after checking in (unusually long, never had more then 20 mins or so in past visits) but still a strange system, keeps the spot exclusive I'd guess. Have visited several times and always have had a good meal and the prices are very fair. Seating is not super comfortable and they pack you in for real, the restaurant is also unnecessarily dark and loud - But not in a bad way? I can't explain it but the very delicious pizza makes up for the weird ambiance and all the rules... definitely something to experience atleast once.

We visited as a stop on Scott's Pizza Bus Tour, which meant we were actively evaluating it against some of the best pizza in the city. Evaluating pizza on a tour is tricky because excellence becomes relative when you are eating multiple high-end pies in a single afternoon. According to Scott, Brooklyn DOP began in founder Thomas Ardito's apartment during the 2020 lockdowns. With his primary work on pause, he started baking pizza and selling pies through Instagram to pay his rent. People kept ordering. His friend Jason D'Amelio joined the effort, and what started as an apartment project turned into pop-ups and eventually a brick-and-mortar shop on 5th Avenue in Park Slope. That is a considerably more compelling origin story than a corporate franchise business plan. The setup in Park Slope includes a quiet back courtyard, which offered a comfortable spot for our group to sit, eat, and recover between stops. It feels relaxed and distinctly Brooklyn without trying too hard to remind you where you are. The pizza itself is very good. The crust strikes a proper balance between a crisp bottom and a chewy interior. The toppings are handled with care, from the crushed tomatoes to the fresh mozzarella. This is dough crafted by people who take fermentation seriously rather than relying on pre-packaged shortcuts. On its own merits, the pizza is a solid 4.5 stars. Unfortunately for Brooklyn DOP, it was competing on a tour against places operating on another plane. It is an excellent pie, but it was not the single slice that caused the entire tour to fall silent in collective awe. Still, that is an aggressive standard to hold against any local shop. Brooklyn DOP offers a great courtyard, a serious approach to dough, and a standout product. Landing just shy of five stars says far more about the sheer volume of elite pizza we ate that day than it does about the shop itself. Four stars. And if you are not spending the afternoon riding around New York with Scott Wiener eating pizza at some of the finest pizza joints the 5 boroughs have to offer, you can probably bump that half-star back up.
