Patsy Grimaldi to Occupy Original Grimaldi's Space
Patsy Grimaldi has left a long trail in the history of New York City pizza. It started in the 40s, when he learned how to make pizza under his uncle up in Harlem. A legal battle in the 90s lead to the current Grimaldi's name and the end of the decade, 1998, saw Patsy Grimaldi's retirement from the pizza world. A decision that never stopped haunting him.
Unpaid rent forced Grimaldi's out of the original 19 Old Fulton Street space at the end of last year. They opened their new location half a block away, at 1 Front Street.
Patsy Grimaldi saw this as a perfect chance to come out of retirement. He plans to open Juliana's, a name attributed to his late mother, in the original Grimaldi's location at 19 Old Fulton Street in DUMBO, BK.
Make pizza, not war.
