A Brooklyn staple is saying goodbye after serving up slices for nearly seven decades. News 4’s Adam Harding reports on the mad dash before Lenny’s closes for good.
After 70 years in business, the iconic Lenny's Pizza is serving up its last slice.
The Brooklyn shop announced that it will be closing for good on Sunday. The pizza joint was made famous after it was featured in the hit movie "Saturday Night Fever," starring John Travolta.
