Travolta revisits Lenny’s Pizza to promote John Gotti movie
Bensonhurst was alive with the sound of the Bee Gees on Tuesday, as John Travolta made a triumphant return to Lenny’s Pizza to promote his latest film, receive a special award from the New York State Senate and, of course, grab a slice.
The massive event – emceed by “Brooklyn’s own” Joe Causi – was the brainchild of actor and Gravesend native Will DeMeo, who stars as Sammy “The Bull” Gravano alongside Travolta’s title role in “Gotti,” a film about John Gotti’s rise to the top of the New York underworld to become the boss of the Gambino crime family, hitting theaters nationwide Friday, June 15.
Working with Travolta, the actor told the crowd, was his “biggest dream come true.”
