Give him two slices – and an award. Forty-one years after “Saturday Night Fever” changed the game for southern Brooklyn, its leading man will be returning to the borough he helped make famous. On Tuesday, June 12, John Travolta will stop by Lenny’s Pizza, 1969 86th St., to receive a special achievement award from State Sen. Marty Golden, and be celebrated by his family, friends, peers and fans. However, the humbled actor has said the celebration goes both ways.

“When I asked John about this, I told him how much he means to the people of Brooklyn,” said Gravesend native and actor Will DeMeo, who is hosting Travolta’s appearance. “His response was, ‘Well, they mean a lot to me.’” DeMeo, a Brooklyn boy through and through, stars as Sammy “The Bull” Gravano alongside Travolta’s title role in “Gotti,” a film about John Gotti’s rise to the top of the New York underworld to become the boss of the Gambino crime family, hitting theaters nationwide Friday, June 15.
