History

Pasquale "Patsy" Grimaldi's uncle, Pasquale "Patsy" Lancieri who has the same nickname, founded a bakery in 1925. Lancieri converted the bakery to a pizzeria in 1933 known as Patsy's Pizzeria, in East Harlem where Grimaldi worked as a cook. Following in his uncle's footsteps, Grimaldi opened Grimaldi's Pizzeria on Old Fulton Street in 1990. The building has a history dating back to the 18th century, formerly used as a tavern and later owned by Dipoline Manufacturing Company before becoming a pizzeria. In 1998, Patsy retired and sold the Grimaldi's brand name and franchise to Frank Ciolli. Due to popularity Grimaldi's Pizzeria moved to a larger building across the street. In 2011, Patsy came out of retirement at the age of 80, but was unable to use his own name after selling his brand rights. He open Juliana's, named after his mother Maria "Juliana" Lancieri Grimaldi,[5] in Grimaldi's former location starting a rivalry between the two.[6]
