For some reason, the best restaurants happen to (usually) be the hardest reviews to write - this is one of those.
Pizza in NYC is a hot debate. Everyone's got their spot where they put a stake in the ground to declare it the best. Well, I say each spot has their own flavor and feel, but however you rank your pizza spots, I'd be surprised if Juliana's Pizza wasn't near the top. On the subject of pizza ratings, I like to think of pizza places in a few different categories: New York style (further broken down into by the slice or whole pies), Neapolitan (think your standard thin, simple Italian pizza), and the 'Sicilian Square' (sometimes I hear Detroit-style when describing the thick squares, but if there's a Sicilian square that is basically the same thing, is there any doubt to what the name should really be?). Anyways, Juliana's falls in the Neapolitan style category (don't @ me on my naming conventions idk what the difference is between pizza from Napoli or other Italian regions).
OK, now that we've got the pizza categories out of the way and we know where this one falls, let's get down to brass tacks. The pizza is amazing - only Song' E Napuli competes with it as far as the Italian category goes. I'm a sucker for prosciutto, so the No. 4 tends to be my go-to. Every pizza they've served us here has been great; the crust is so good, you could put just about any pizza topping on it and it'd be an award winner. For two people, I think a large pizza to share is the perfect amount... unfortunately I can't speak for anything on the menu outside of pizza as I've never tried it.
So, the only catch to this is they don't take reservations and there's been a 30+ minute line out the door every time we've gone - but what do you expect from a popular restaurant in New York? I'd say a glorious summer night is going across the Brooklyn bridge and down to Juliana's (the restaurant is situated very close to the water just south of the bridge), getting excited for pizza while you're in line, and then heading over to Ample Hills Creamery for dessert.
