Juliana's is a pizzeria located in Brooklyn, New York considered the best pizzeria in the United States as of 2015 according to TripAdvisor.
Pasquale "Patsy" Grimaldi's uncle, Pasquale "Patsy" Lancieri who has the same nickname, founded a bakery in 1925. Lancieri converted the bakery to a pizzeria in 1933 known as Patsy's Pizzeria, in East Harlem where Grimaldi worked as a cook. Following in his uncle's footsteps, Grimaldi opened Grimaldi's Pizzeria on Old Fulton Street in 1990. The building has a history dating back to the 18th century, formerly used as a tavern and later owned by Dipoline Manufacturing Company before becoming a pizzeria. In 1998, Grimaldi retired and sold the Grimaldi's brand name and franchise to Frank Ciolli. Due to popularity, Ciolli moved Grimaldi's Pizzeria to a larger building across the street. In 2011, Grimaldi announced he was coming out of retirement at the age of 80. Grimaldi was unable to open a restaurant in his own name due to selling his brand rights. In 2012, he opened Juliana's, named after his mother Maria "Juliana" Lancieri Grimaldi, in Grimaldi's former location starting a rivalry between the two.
