Tony's Pizzeria occupied the storefront at 100-05 Metropolitan Avenue from 1969 to 2001. Anthony Sciarratta, the grandson of Anthony "Tony" Sciarratta, hopes to reopen the pizzeria in the coming years. Tony's grandson is a novelist who recently released his first book, "Finding Forever: A 1970s Love Story", with Post Hill Press. Ironically, the book takes place in 1970s Queens during the time that the pizzeria was actually in business.

"Finding Forever: A 1970s Love Story," is the story of a neurotic Italian American man who is inspired to write a novel about his love affair with a quirky broadway actress. "Everyone thought that I wrote the book," Tony laughed. "My grandson is named after me." Currently, the storefront is occupied by a middle-eastern restaurant, but Sciarratta says he will reopen the pizzeria even if it isn't in the same location.
