Dining: Old-world, new-world and delicious at Bay Ridge Pizza
There are pizza places, and then there are pizza places — ones that truly become neighborhood institutions, both because of their owners’ connection to the community and because of the quality of the food.
Bay Ridge Pizza is one of those.
Established 40 years ago by Sal and Tony Tumminello (who both still come in weekly), the eatery — today run by Sal’s son Gaspare — features an array of classic and contemporary Italian dishes with a Sicilian accent, with numerous pizza variations including gluten-free (gluten-free pasta is also available) meant to tantalize the palate and also cater to today’s tastes and concerns.
