"It just a simple recipe, we keep it as simple as we can," Domenico Posillico, co-owner of Gino's Pizza of West Hempstead, told Patch. "They come in mild or spicy. They have just a little kick to them, but we make them as you like."

Posillico and his business partner, Franco Pietronigro, both Westbury residents, have been operating the pizzeria in the community since 1994. He said, "It's an honor for our fans to recognize what we do and what we have."

The wings come in orders of 10, and are just one part of a rather extensive menu that Gino's offers its customers.

Aside from their tasty food, Posillico says the business serves the local community in many other ways including donating cash to local organizations and gift cards to be raffled off at fundraisers. In fact, when we called on March 2 to tell Posillico his business had won, they were busy making pizzas, as they do every Friday, for s lunch program.
