4h agoJoe Piscopo, one of the owners of Johnny's Pizzeria in
Mount Vernon, has died. The cause of death was not immediately known.
Piscopo and his siblings had been running the iconic
restaurant since the death of their mother in 2019.
Johnny's first opened back in 1942 by their grandfather.
The pizzeria temporarily closed after the matriarch's death and when it suddenly
caught fire.
"After losing my mom, people were unbelievable,"
said Piscopo told News 12 in Nov. 2019. "It's like starting all over
again. I guess this is our time now. It was my mom and my dad and my uncles
before that, and now it's my brother and my sisters and I into something
new."
