Tony's Famous New York Pizza, Indian Harbour Beach

How many generations of a family does it take to run a restaurant business? Though that might sound like the set-up for something humorous, working at the family restaurant is actually a regular part of growing up in the multi-talented Abitino family. With three generations of Abitinos overseeing in the front and the back of the house at Tony's Famous New York Pizza, one thing is for sure: there's always someone around to make sure quality always comes first.

Cousins Dom and Carlos lead the team, making sure everything runs like clockwork. Then there's, Dom's dad—known to everyone as Uncle Tony—who oversees the kitchen. Back there, chefs toss pizzas by hand and craft pasta dishes made from Tony's family recipes that are now kept in a safe that requires a fingerprint scan and completion of a Sunday New York Times crossword in order to open. But no no matter who's manning the ovens on any given day, it's making fresh, piping-hot pizzas and special sub sandwiches that's always at the top of this family's list.
