Generational staple to close doors in Williston Park

1979 a year to remember when Frank Speciale opened Gino's Pizzeria in Williston Park and since then it's a must go for Sicilian pizza you can't complain. This month they are closing doors for good after a 50 year run.

Many mom and pop retail outlets are closing around NY since the next generation has different goals in terms of food, clothes, cars, etc. The other reasons are new demographics, rising rents and costs and a new franchise market.

All are encouraged to visit the place and be curious how one man ran the place for 50 years. Located at 626 Willis Avenue in Nassau County. All are encouraged to visit the place.
