PrintClosings: Lento's
We heard some scuttlebutt late last week about Lento's closing. Bay Ridge Blog offers more supporting evidence: "Went past Lento's tonight, and it was closed at 7:30 p.m. And the word Lento's was cut out of the awning. I hope that they have not closed. That would be awful."
Operating as a pizzeria since 1933, the place was a neighborhood favorite and, for some, a destination pizzeria. When I lived in Bay Ridge after first moving to New York City, Lento's was easily a once-a-week affair for me.
So here's to Lento's, R.I.P. Slice will pour some on the ground for you.

I have lived in Bay Ridge for about 8 years. I never got to try Lento`s, but I really like Casa Calimari. They are on the corner of 86th and 3rd Ave and were taken over by Leo of Leo+Joe`s Pizza(89th+3rd), which closed up almost two years ago. Their square pie is probably the best in Brooklyn? It has quality ingredients and is cooked to my idea of perfection with a medium thick crust that has a bit of a crunch. Great pie plus $1.00 pints of Coors for lunch. HAPPY EATING

I'm so upset about Lento's. It was my hands down favorite pizza, and I travelled in from Manhattan as often as possible to have some. I've never tried the SI outpost, but will now. I assume/hope it's still open.
