In today's world of take out and delivery, the good old fashioned sit-down pizza shop seems to be a thing of the past. I have fond memories of going out for pizza with my family when I was a kid, and Juliano's is the kind of place that takes me back to those simpler times.
This is not a fancy pizza shop. The decor is old and dated, but it still feels homey and welcoming. The staff (from the servers to the cashiers) have always been nothing but incredibly pleasant. But of course the main reason we come here is for the pizza. It is, quite simply, delicious. We're fans of their square Sicilian-style pie (one of their signature pizza types), which has a wonderfully thick, fluffy, slightly sweet crust that is crispy on the edges (I don't normally eat the edges of my pizza, but I devour these!) The sauce is well-seasoned and also has a bit of sweetness to it. The portion of toppings and cheese is more than adequate and always tasty. Juliano's makes a very simple, very good pie with high quality ingredients. They serve other Italian dishes too (pastas, etc.) that I'd love to try, but it's hard to tear myself away from their pizza. Maybe someday.
I don't live nearby, and in general I hate driving out to the Robinson area, but they are worth braving the tunnel monsters for. I only wish they'd open one in my neck of the woods. :)
