Lenora, Vinny, and Kristina- I am so sorry for your loss. Tony was a force of nature. He was an incredible person and an awesome boss. Always took a moment to connect to his customers. I respected him so much as a successful yet humble business owner. He put so much of himself into NYP. He will be dearly missed. My heart goes out to you all.

I will miss Tony. I have known Tony since I was young. He was a good man, always had a cute little smile, and has been very important to an entire community. A lot of good memories are from the company he established. I will keep the family in my prayers.

TONY WAS AN ICON & PILLAR IN THE COMMUNITY. I HAVE BEEN GOING TO THE RESTAURANT EVERY SINCE IT OPENED UP. HOWEVER, I MET TONY ON A MORE PERSONAL LEVEL 11YRS. AGO. I AM AN ELEMENTARY TEACHER & I WAS TEACHING A UNIT ON ECONOMICS TO 2O SOME 2ND GRADERS. I TRIED TO THINK OF A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS & NEW YORK PIZZA WAS JUST THAT. I APPROACHED TONY ABOUT MY IDEA TO BRING IN A BUS LOAD OF STUDENTS SO THEY COULD SEE HOW A BUSINESS WAS PROPERLY MANAGED. WELL, HE NOT ONLY SAID YES BUT HE MADE ME GET...
