Redefined great pizza, among the absolute best ever. Impossibly thin crust without sogginess or being burnt. Delightful fresh and bright feeling sauce. Seated quickly as a party of 3 as the line moved very efficiently. Not even a shadow of a complaint and wish I lived nearby to return! 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.

Got a 1/2 white and margherita personal pizza. White pizza is really yummy. Marguerita is same as everywhere else. But still delish. I’d get a whole pie of the white next time. So good. More

Phenomenal pizza. Anything under 5 stars, the person either has a bias or doesn’t know pizza. Great pizza! Great service and worth the wait from when we went. Thank you. More

Amazing pizza. The best pizza we had in new york, made in a coal oven. You can taste the authenticity in the sauce and fresh mozzarella. No wait in line and they bring the pizza quick. Will always go there again when in New York More

The is a great place for pizza. First come first serve. We waited outside in the cold for about 45 minutes but it was totally worth the wait. Pizza was delicious, atmosphere was nice and service was great. Limited menu but enough to choose from. They also have a wide selection of alcoholic beverages. More

Juliana‘s pizza was a recommendation from a local. We went to the restaurant and got to experience Brooklyn in a fun and unique way eating next to the Brooklyn Bridge and in DUMBO. The pizza was great. Service was great. Atmosphere is great. Would recommend to anybody. More

🥘: 7.5/10. The first pizza that I have tried in New York City! We got a number 6 special Pizza, with grilled chicken, mozzarella, white cheddar and homemade guacamole! I really enjoy the thin crust, a nice smoky crunch and their distinctive oven taste are everything! The guacamole is smooth, flavorful and seasoned nicely! Me and my friend both think that it would be nicer if the pizza has more sauce to it tho. We got a large pizza for around $36. The two of us couldn't finish the whole thing and we have to take a couple pieces to go with us!
🧑🏻🍳: 7/10: nice service and all the waiters were very kind! We got in line around 5:15 in the afternoon and waited for around 30 minutes to get a table.
📍: 9/10: Very easy to find! Right in Brooklyn, close to time out market. I love their lighting inside a restaurant because it is dim, perfect for a date night and I do see a lot of couples there!

Truly an incredible pizza experience. The best right by the Brooklyn bridge with pizza so fresh and ingredients that truly are balanced and seem to dance in your mouth. I took visiting family here and all agreed that I ruined pizza for them going forward because where are they going to have such a pizza again? More

Was excited to try this place after a recommendation.
Passed by Grimaldi's Pizzeria on the way. Honestly regret not heading into that restraunt instead.
I had the Marghherita pizza with meatballs added.
The pizza was good but nothing to write home about.
Maybe I had gotten used to the strong taste of all the other food in big cities these days but the pizzas tasted a little bland to me.
Don't get me wrong. It wasn't bad. It just wasn't all that great compared to other pizzas in NY. I did like that they sold single person pies.

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!

Hands down one of the best pizzas I’ve had in New York! The Margherita came out literally steaming — hot from the oven, with that perfect thin, blistered crust and fresh mozzarella melting into the sauce. The tomato flavor was bright and balanced, and the basil added the perfect touch. The meatballs were also incredible — tender, juicy, and drenched in rich tomato sauce.
The vibe is cozy, bustling, and authentically New York — you can watch the chefs working the red oven while the whole place buzzes with conversation. Totally worth the wait!

What a great place! We were in NYC for our anniversary and had to narrow down the plethora of eating choices, we are so glad Juliana's made the cut! Great service, great tasting pizza, and the place was awesome! We got the white pizza and added arugula. They had a table when we got there, but they were pretty full. We walked the Brooklyn Bridge afterward, what a lovely way to spend the evening! Thanks for dinner

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!

Possibly one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life! We waited in the freezing cold to get a seat, but they did have heat lamps out front that helped out🥶 the wait was absolutely worth it and I would do it all over again for one of these incredible slices! Great presentation inside, staff were amazing, plus you got to see them cook right in front of you!! This was one of my highlights on the trip and made me feel like i was in Newyork! Great work guys 🇺🇸 Brooklyn!!!!!
