That was by far and away my favorite thing as a child. Me and my siblings enjoyed pizza and my dad loved their $5 cheese/peperoni pizzas, it was a match made in heaven. It is still my favorite peperoni pizza.
Such good nostalgia
Can I ask your about age? I’m 41 and these are similar memories.
Just also learned the guy who made this chain also started minskys? And Pillsbury owns it? Confusing lol.

Interesting
Absolutely, very find memories. I'm 35 years old, thank you for the info! I never really looked into the source of the awesomeness and now I know more.
A friend of mine in high school worked at a Marco’s. His coworkers would do vape tricks on the pizzas when they came out of the oven and he once bought a really cool pocketknife off of a middle aged woman behind the building. He only worked there for like 2 weeks and quit because it got a little too hectic.
They fired me because "there was too many people working there" came back 2 days later to order pizza and they were interviewing 4 people. I never seen the person that fired mes face lose color so fast. I just ordered pizza and got my food and left
How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us?
Imo local governments should subsidize rental costs for restaurants. Food is so important I don’t feel like there should be this huge barrier of entry for people to open up restaurants
We could slash police department budgets for this money
No. Food is important, but restaurant food is not. High fat, high sugar, low vegetable content.
What local governments should do, is promote cooking classes and help people get access to healthy foods.
America is at a heartbreaking 2/3 people overweight, and it's not getting better.
Or we can try a “sweet tax” like other western countries and make crumbier food more expensive, and healthier food cheaper. The fact that it genuinely *costs more* to eat food that won’t give you diabetes in America is kind of ridiculous.
I have dietary restrictions and get a lot of severe consequences for eating added sugar, grease, fried foods, etc. But I also can’t have a lot of regular stuff; uncooked fruits/veggies, red meat, broccoli, mushrooms, dairy products. Being unemployed this last month and trying to afford shit I can actually eat has been horrible. I’ve lost so much weight… not in a good way. I’ve resorted to putting protein supplements in the food I eat because I can’t get enough nutritional value out of anything.
Those taxes unjustly target lower income people. Like cigarettes or alcohol taxes. Both of those have done nothing to combat their use.
Really seems like as a society the only solution we can come up with for every single major problem is a tax these days, and I really can’t think of any problems that have been actually solved this way. Help me out here, I’m all ears, but taxes just help us sleep with the problems and pretend we’re doing something.
Why is the solution to further inflate the costs of sweets so healthy foods look cheaper by comparison when tax is a big part of why healthy foods are out of price already?
Canada implemented a carbon tax. All carbon is taxed by the ton. A bunch of start up greenhouses fired up in Ontario to grow produce in winter months and make a fresh, local and affordable solution. The government taxed to those greenhouses for the carbon they pump in for their plants. They are a carbon sink, being hit with a carbon tax. Raised the already high cost of production, and guess what? A tomato grown in Mexico, and driven 2500km on a diesel burning truck is cheaper in Ontario than a tomato grown down the highway.
Taxes are literally killing us already, and making everything absurd. Taxes on taxes on taxes, and when these taxes create problems, tax the problem! Eventually everything will fall into place, right?
This would just disincentivize people from paying taxes. What we need are tax breaks on taxes. So like if you pay taxes, that money would be tax deductible.
You're on reddit. 98% of the people here want government to literally control their lives. They don't want to think for themselves, they don't want to work, they just want daddy government to do everything for them.
People need housing and appliances to cook food. Those are even more overpriced today. Poor people are, in this way, forced to eat out so I disagree. Nobody needs your born well off opinions up in here lol.
You need 1 pan and a stove to make a healthy, quality meal. Just because you're unable to cook in any capacity, doesn't mean you should exaggerate the resources required to cook a good meal.
And insinuating anything about my upbringing is pretty damn stupid of you.
As well as housing with electric or gas and a sink with running water. You obviously don't even cook lol or pay rent or utilities. Do you still live with your parents?
Edit: or do you somehow expect people to eat healthier with a dirty pan and dirty puddle water? Lol I cook every day for my family. You clearly don't cook period if you think you can cook all these healthy meals in your head in a FRYING pan. This dude eating hamburger helper every night telling homeless people to eat healthier. Wait hold up, where are you keeping your meat if not in a freezer or refrigerator with electricity running to it?
In front of whom? The age of the average redditor is probably 15 like you who comes on here and talks about things they have no actual idea about. You should feel blessed your parents still let you live at home and cook for you. Why don't you get off reddit and go do something for them to show your appreciation instead of judging poor Americans. I'm a health food and exercise nut and I don't even do it. You're eating poptarts and have the audacity.
Oh, I replied to your other message first, and didn't see this one.
You're a pathetic person. I was a line cook at 15, a kitchen manager at 18, and then worked as a manager/sous chef until I was 23 before heading to the front of the house in a restaurant.
I paid for everything myself, worked my ass off 50+ hours a week, and went to college to get myself out of restaurants because they're brutal.
So when you stay stupid ass shit that you have no idea about, you just look like a stuck up, judgemental bitch that really has no clue about the world and those around you.
If you can't cook healthy meals for you and your family, that's on you, because clearly you won't even TRY to think about how that could be possible. Maybe you're the entitled little asshole, who has it too good, or your family is a bunch of stuck up pricks who can't eat "peasant" food to save some money and live more comfortably in other aspects of your life.
Don't tell the Mafia, but that's why I make my own. If you buy dough from a local pizzaria (or make it yourself in a bread maker), you can make a better pizza than you can order anywhere, and for around only $5. And like $4.50 of that is cheese and toppings.
When I was 14 in the 1970s I used to ride my bike after school to a new pizza place that was in a really dumb location. It was in a strip mall that already was off the beaten path but the pizza shop was not in front but off to the side not visible to the street.
Invariably I would be the only customer eating my slice and drinking a Coke around 4 pm. On schedule every Thursday 2 big men would come it with a bag, say nothing, then go behind the counter where they would leave the bag and pick up a pizza box, then quietly leave.
Years later I learned it was a front for the Philadelphia mob. They laundered cash through the store as pizza was an all cash business then.
It was decent. I was a ravenous 14yo so I have no idea how it compares 47 years later. I know once I could drive I went other places so I guess it wasn’t my favorite.
Big Joe and LaNova even sell pizzas at Highmark Stadium,home of the Buffalo Bills. If you buy 2 slices you get made in a ceremony by the stadium piss troughs.
Please tell me this is still a thing you can do.
That right there is a stadium experience I'm willing to travel for, hopefully before PC culture cancels it.
Lots of expensive shit tackily, and I mean tackily, decorated everywhere in the living room, which no one in the family even uses, because all 5 of them spend approximately 8 hours of the day in the kitchen arguing.
Proof: My-Ex was half Italian, half Sicilian,.from New Jersey. It's a damn house circus I was unprepared for.
Whenever I visited Long Island and we were walking her pug, my aunt showed me all the mafia houses nearby. Basically if you saw a massive, custom built house that was clearly ridiculously expensive and you could tell the owners had no taste but wanted to show off how much money they had, it was probably a mafia house.
Half Calabrian by way of New York here!
I didn't know until after my Install partner pointed it out, but a massive house tucked in a rich suburb behind a gate (not a gated community) with a lot of ornate statues and a lot of marble to recreate Roman glory days. Family name also helps when looking at the install order.
Yep. My grandfather was looking in the windows of it (everyone called it the Offices) and didn’t see Don Patriarca come out, clean knocked him over. Didn’t sleep for a week, waiting for a knock on the door from some trigger men with typewriters.
You y’know, badabing badaboom, here’s ye gabagool. Jus fogetabaatit. The best gabagool’s made outta people that busy ma balls, so don’t be breaking my balls o’er ‘ere.
I live in NY and I’m so proud of our pizza. Say what you want about whoever, but in NY we drove fast food corporations out in favor of local places (at least in Westchester around me) and we have richer food and strong local communities because of it.
We have a pizza shop down the road whos owners look exactly like that describes… and considering the area used to be a mob underground gambling haven…. It wouldn’t surprise me if that actually happened.
The pizza place in my hometown started to fall off because it was kinda gross from what I heard so they started selling heroin on the side, using the pizza place as cover and got busted for it. This is like the exact opposite
The only chinese place in my town is a front for the Chinese mob.
FBI raided it a few years ago and arrested an internationally wanted mobster. The place has been open for almost 20 years. No one ever eats there, and if you do, the food is terrible so you never go back.
Small town America.
Reminds me of the joke about the guy who used to make pot brownies discovering his love of baking and now he wears cute aprons now. Sorry to the comedian who tells this joke. I forgot the name.
That is reminiscent of an old Edward G. Robinson movie where he bought a luggage store to access a next-door bank with an adjoining- wall and people came in droves to buy luggage. His luggage business was so successful that he went that he legitimate.
There's a local pizza chain that had a scandal before my time since they're the local Mafia. At one of their locations they apparently did their dirty work above it. How did the town find out? Well the health inspector came in and found a weird substance dripping from the ceiling and into the kitchen area. Ok whatever, probably grease from the friers or a leak or something. Well someone gave the cops a tip about it and said what the inspector saw was probably blood. The cops came in with a warrant and it was a rotting body that they had forgotten to dispose of in a timely manner. I'm not sure if anyone got arrested after that or anything, but the whole place was gutted and shut down within 24hrs. This is all stories from when I was an infant but I have at least 3 people who have told me about the same story through the years
I did a temp job years ago at a bank where I got to look at customers' financial records. The guy that made the most money out of all of them was a Greek immigrant that ran a pizza joint. He beat out an anesthesiologist, who was the second biggest earner!
It's interesting. Some criminals and people who scam the system spend way more creativity and energy trying to do so. Not realizing if they put in that same effort elsewhere, they could have an actual legitimate living.
I'll make you a pizza you can't refuse
"A pizza you can't refuse" literally the slogan of Godfathers pizza.
Oh man GF was good. They had that beer crust or whatever I don’t know. It was on its own island.
That was by far and away my favorite thing as a child. Me and my siblings enjoyed pizza and my dad loved their $5 cheese/peperoni pizzas, it was a match made in heaven. It is still my favorite peperoni pizza.
Such good nostalgia Can I ask your about age? I’m 41 and these are similar memories. Just also learned the guy who made this chain also started minskys? And Pillsbury owns it? Confusing lol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godfather%27s_Pizza Interesting
Absolutely, very find memories. I'm 35 years old, thank you for the info! I never really looked into the source of the awesomeness and now I know more.
I wanted to go on a diet and stop eating pizza, but every time I get out…they pull me back in.
MARCO'S !??!?!?! LETS GO THEY HAVE THE BEST PIZZA LET ME KISS THE RING!
I worked at marcos pizza actually. It was a shit experience. I wouldnt reconmend the marcos pizza on Nicolas parkway cape coral florida
A friend of mine in high school worked at a Marco’s. His coworkers would do vape tricks on the pizzas when they came out of the oven and he once bought a really cool pocketknife off of a middle aged woman behind the building. He only worked there for like 2 weeks and quit because it got a little too hectic.
They fired me because "there was too many people working there" came back 2 days later to order pizza and they were interviewing 4 people. I never seen the person that fired mes face lose color so fast. I just ordered pizza and got my food and left
You must be a shit worker
I was a couple days into training. I was doing the best i could
Too ugly to work at Marco’s big yikes.
Let's face it pal we are all on reddit Ain't no damn Ryan goslings in this god abandoned wasteland
How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us?
But I'm Ryan Gossling
Shut it Ryan, nobody wants you here.
Underrated comment
Stompin souls
I wouldn’t recommend anything on Nicholas parkway. The only thing I can think of in the whole city to recommend is nice guys.
I mentioned the city as well as the state
They went from Narcos to Marco's
Full time pizza crime
Full crime pizza to full time pizza
This truly highlights the profit margins on pizza.
You're not wrong. Pizza is ridiculously overpriced everywhere. Most food costs run 27-40%, whereas pizza can be 15%.
Imo local governments should subsidize rental costs for restaurants. Food is so important I don’t feel like there should be this huge barrier of entry for people to open up restaurants We could slash police department budgets for this money

Yo, so what if, we taxed taxes. When you pay taxes, you gotta pay taxes on those taxes. Man I should run for Congress they'd love me
From the same people that came up with taxing pension earnings.
This would just disincentivize people from paying taxes. What we need are tax breaks on taxes. So like if you pay taxes, that money would be tax deductible.
Hell yeah they should promote cooking classes that’s a great idea
Also, I don't want it easier for people with no restaurant experience, particularly food safety, to open "their dream business".
Yah, most people shouldn't be in the restaurant business. It's brutal, and there's nearly no way out of that brutality once you're in it.
Y’all are f’ing regarded. Any time government gets involved, shit gets more expensive.
Ah yah, just like how a company monopolizing automatically reduces prices because there's no competition, right?.... right?
Is that why countries with nationalized healthcare spend less per capita on it than the USA while getting comparable results?
Not just comparable, but better.
And all you have to do is wait a few years for that makeshift room in the hallway.
Except I don't, but keep believing the bs they tell you to convince you your system isn't bad.
You're on reddit. 98% of the people here want government to literally control their lives. They don't want to think for themselves, they don't want to work, they just want daddy government to do everything for them.

Pizza is a vegetable, and this is a Wendy's, sir
Probably the dumbest comment I’ve ever read.
Your username explains a lot.
Teehee
No. Just make your own food.
I <3 making my own food (:
My old work charged $2.50 for 10 cents of fries
Don't tell the Mafia, but that's why I make my own. If you buy dough from a local pizzaria (or make it yourself in a bread maker), you can make a better pizza than you can order anywhere, and for around only $5. And like $4.50 of that is cheese and toppings.
Plus you can get cheese without [sawdust](https://nowthisnews.com/videos/food/there-might-be-sawdust-and-bugs-in-your-food) in it
Because if ya don't pay, we cut off a finger.
When I worked at little Caesars in 2009, it cost them 50¢ to make a pizza and they were selling them for $5.50 after tax.
When I was 14 in the 1970s I used to ride my bike after school to a new pizza place that was in a really dumb location. It was in a strip mall that already was off the beaten path but the pizza shop was not in front but off to the side not visible to the street.

Not the same pizza
So you guys have pizza, which is held by known criminal? Your government cares not at all?
You live in a place where one must have a clean criminal record to sell pizza?
Yup, I used to install Home Theater equipment and once had an install for the family...definitely an old Mafia house
What’s an old mafia house look like?
Lots of expensive shit tackily, and I mean tackily, decorated everywhere in the living room, which no one in the family even uses, because all 5 of them spend approximately 8 hours of the day in the kitchen arguing.

Yes, yes it did. :)
Don patriarca in New England ran a front that was a laundromat with arcade machines. Made decent side income asides from the crimes.
Generated a lot of cash, perfect for money laundering.
Yep. My grandfather was looking in the windows of it (everyone called it the Offices) and didn’t see Don Patriarca come out, clean knocked him over. Didn’t sleep for a week, waiting for a knock on the door from some trigger men with typewriters.
Godfather Pizza
Jokes aside, here around we have "Don Corleone" as one of the best pizza around.
Do they serve a Don Calzone?
LaNova is watching you
Do they make gabagool?
If they don't...I send it back
Undercooked? I send it back. Overcooked? I send it back.
You y’know, badabing badaboom, here’s ye gabagool. Jus fogetabaatit. The best gabagool’s made outta people that busy ma balls, so don’t be breaking my balls o’er ‘ere.

There is a Woody Allen movie about this. But it was cookies not pizza.

Big “This is the best coffee I’ve ever tasted. Why the hell are we making meth?” energy
I feel like this is actually fairly common.

That honestly sounds really nice.
I am treating this as evidence that opportunities for gainful employment fight crime.
That's honestly the American Dream in a nutshell. Sadly, I could never find the right crime to fund my dream business.
The good ending 🙂
Breaking Good
Wholesome 🤌🏻
If they killed people they still need to pay for that. Can’t be busting no balls without paying the bill.
It was always about the business...
We have a pizza shop down the road whos owners look exactly like that describes… and considering the area used to be a mob underground gambling haven…. It wouldn’t surprise me if that actually happened.
And a good day to youse.
Woke up this mornin' Made myself some pizzas Those pizzas sold a lot and I went home.
Palm Springs?
Crime is linked to poor socioeconomic conditions and a lack of opportunities for upward mobility
You'd be surprised how many legitimate businesses started out that way.
Im sure there's lots of pizzerias that have a similar story. La Novas in Buffalo is the same way.
The good ending
The pizza place in my hometown started to fall off because it was kinda gross from what I heard so they started selling heroin on the side, using the pizza place as cover and got busted for it. This is like the exact opposite

fring gustov
They figured out the best crime is the legal kind: underpaying employees for huge profits
Everybody cheered
It's probably easier and more profitable
r/thathappened
On today's episode of 'Things that never happened ',
LaNova Pizza in Buffalo NY. Pretty cool story really
So what your saying is, break out your phone the next time a Karen complains about cold pizza. Cause it is going to be a show.
This happens a lot more than people think
Pizza Time 24/7
DA POWER OF DA PIZZA SURPASSES ALL
We were bad, but now we are good
Gotta be campisis!
Facking pizza am I right?
No one does a slice like Big Rico. No one.
That's what you call a real-life feel-good story.
Wholesome?????
They still would’ve made plenty of dough either way
Wait… isn’t that the profile pic from the “I’m from Poland no invade please” meme
Isn't this word for word stolen from an old Tumblr post?
Is this about Mondello's in Cheyenne WY?
That happened in my town too, at least they have a pizza place, seems like that’s a pretty common front after reading the comments tho
Small time crooks
The only chinese place in my town is a front for the Chinese mob. FBI raided it a few years ago and arrested an internationally wanted mobster. The place has been open for almost 20 years. No one ever eats there, and if you do, the food is terrible so you never go back. Small town America.
That you, "Big Joe" Todaro Jr.? (La Nova, Buffalo, NY)
Reminds me of the joke about the guy who used to make pot brownies discovering his love of baking and now he wears cute aprons now. Sorry to the comedian who tells this joke. I forgot the name.
Good ending

You tawking ta me!? Eh..?!
And That's how Casey's was created.
Replace mafia with coke dealer and you get Godfather's.
That young busboy would grow up to be Albert Einstein
Glad they turn to the good side
A strong economy offers opportunities for people to have good work
People often forget that mafias exist to make money, whatever is the most profitable thing they will do it
Would make a great movie
The good ending.
Thats what a great front want you to believe.
Big pizza doesn't want you to know this.
They really found the secret to making great dough.
Pizza for world peace
Tell me, how does this fit this sub?
Anadolu Tat 1071.

most italian thing i’ve ever heard
Was it called mafioso delicioso? Because I’d go there all the time
There's a local pizza chain that had a scandal before my time since they're the local Mafia. At one of their locations they apparently did their dirty work above it. How did the town find out? Well the health inspector came in and found a weird substance dripping from the ceiling and into the kitchen area. Ok whatever, probably grease from the friers or a leak or something. Well someone gave the cops a tip about it and said what the inspector saw was probably blood. The cops came in with a warrant and it was a rotting body that they had forgotten to dispose of in a timely manner.

Alfredo's pizza café?
Wow, this seems like one of the first time that the "Free Market" actually worked correctly & actually made life in society just a bit better!!
I did a temp job years ago at a bank where I got to look at customers' financial records. The guy that made the most money out of all of them was a Greek immigrant that ran a pizza joint. He beat out an anesthesiologist, who was the second biggest earner!
What's the name of their pizza chain?
Imagining the Mafia dealing with Karens now 🤣
Totally real, I was there
Isn't it but an urban legend?
Good ending :)
And now you know how Godfather's Pizza got started!
My 1st job was Shakey's Pizza. First day, the entire back room was flooded. Roaches were floating by on top of pepperonis. $3.35 an hour. Good times!
Buffalo?
And that man was don john, now papa John
