15 Business profile Bay Ridge Pizza is voted “The Best” for 2022 COURIER LIFE, JUNE 3-9, 2022 By Camille Sperrazza Bay Ridge Pizza has been named “The Best” for 2022 – for its pizza and for its cater- ing – in an annual competition sponsored by the Dime Sav- ings Bank. This isn’t the first time the family-owned eatery has earned this top award. What’s its recipe to success? One of the owners, Gaspare Tum- minello, says it’s “Consistency in product, hard work, loyalty to customers, and staff that’s been with so long, they are like family.” Bay Ridge Pizza has also adapted with the times, se- curing a strong social media presence on platforms such as Instagram and Facebook; and accommodating those who like to place orders with ser- vices that include Uber Eats, Grub Hub, Slice, Seamless, and Delivery.com. They accept Apple Pay. “We’ve moved with the times to accommodate the younger and older generation,” says Tumminello. The owners also had the foresight to fine-tune recipes so they reflect current cus- tomers’ tastes and needs. For example, when they opened in 1978, few had heard of the term, “gluten-free.” But in the year 2000, Bay Ridge Pizza in- troduced gluten-free pizza and bread products to its custom- ers, says Tumminello. Then they started getting requests for gluten-free dishes, and of- fered that option to customers. The menu now contains more than 40 different types of glu- ten-free pizza. Soon customers asked about vegan cheese, and once again, Bay Ridge Pizza, deliv- Proud Contest Winner – Owner Gaspare of Bay Ridge Pizza and Caterers “Best Of Brooklyn 2022“ ered.
