Last day for iconic 'Lenny's Pizza' in Brooklyn
An iconic Brooklyn pizzeria immortalized in "Saturday Night Fever" made its last pie Sunday, and the neighborhood came out to wish its owner a happy retirement.
NEW YORK - The iconic "Saturday Night Fever" pizzeria in Bensonhurst Brooklyn made its last pie on Sunday.
Frank Giordano, the 77-year-old owner of Lenny’s, says "I feel 20 years young," but that it was time for him to move on.

Giordano bought the restaurant 40 years ago after it appeared in the hit movie ‘Saturday Night Fever’ starring John Travolta.
In the movie, Travolta's character, Tony Manero, orders a double decker slice (one slice on top of the other), and wolfs it down while jamming to "Stayin' Alive."
Since then, Lenny's has become a neighborhood favorite and a phenomenon for those visiting the area.
Loyal customers, family, and friends all showed up Sunday to show their support, and try to get their hands on one last slice.
