damnlines.comdamnlines.comPatsy Grimaldi's coal-oven pizzeria at his original Brooklyn Bridge address, next door to the Grimaldi's that took his name.
Juliana's takes no reservations and seats complete parties only on arrival, per its own site, so the queue is the front door. The Infatuation reports that on weekends "you might find a line of people waiting, mostly from out of town." Gothamist found both DUMBO coal-oven pizzerias with "lines out the door every Friday around noon."
The line exists because Juliana's shares a block with Grimaldi's, the pizzeria that bought Patsy Grimaldi's old name. Grimaldi's draws the longer queue on brand recognition; New York Dearly's DUMBO guide says its line "can hit 45 minutes on a Saturday," while Juliana's is "usually shorter." Tourists catch on to Juliana's next door, which is where Patsy actually cooks.
To skip it, sources point to weekday mornings. New York Dearly's DUMBO guide says a weekday-morning visit means "fewer crowds" and that "you can actually get a table at Juliana's without a wait." Note the daily reset: last lunch order is 3:15pm, and the kitchen closes roughly 3:30 to 4pm to stoke the coal oven before dinner, per Juliana's own site.

No. Juliana's own site states it does "not accept reservations" and seats "complete parties only upon arrival." It is walk-in only, so the line is the wait.
