6. Denino’s Pizzeria & Tavern
Founded in: 1951
John Denino first opened his doors as confectionery, which in the year 1937 developed into a tavern. It wasn’t until after his death in 1951 that his son Carlo Denino introduced pizza at the tavern. Denino’s pizza was not only a huge winner when it was first served but has also succeeded in retaining its good name through the years. So if you ever head out towards Staten Island, do give the pizzeria a visit!
