Over the weekend Grimaldi’s was back in business in Dumbo in its new home at 1 Front Street. The Buildings Dept. signed off on the space’s coal-fired oven after previously questioning its legality, and tourists were once again waiting in hour-long lines for the pizzeria as of Saturday. Patsy Grimaldi is reportedly going to reopen a pizzeria named Juliana’s in the original Grimaldi’s location down the block, at 19 Old Fulton Street, though Grimaldi’s owner Frank Ciolli told the Post that he doesn’t “think [Patsy Grimaldi is] ever going to get in there.”
