John Pino Pizza revival celebrates grand opening on 20th Avenue
It was a celebration for the history books on Monday, August 7 when friends, family and neighbors of the new John Pino pizza restaurant marked its grand opening with music, food and a little bit of uninvited rain.
The Italian eatery – at home at 7810 20th Avenue – is the second-coming of owner John Diana’s original Pino Pizza Ristorante, which called Bath Avenue home for at least four decades.
“I want to invite all of the people who loved the old place and all of the people who are new to Pino’s and to the neighborhood to enjoy our food,” said Diana, who was joined at the grand opening by friends, family and new neighbors.
