NY Pizza Suprema was established in 1964 in this location by my father Salvatore Riggio, an Italian immigrant. This pizzeria was here before Madison Square Garden moved here. At that time the school around the corner currently named TCI was RCA. When Sal decided to raise the price from 5 cents a slice, the RCA students picketed in front of the pizzeria for several days, catching media attention. From 1964 and all the way up to 1988, Sal only served plain cheese slices. If you wanted anything extra on your slice, you had to buy the whole pie.
