How we got into the biz ...
The year is 1973 (remember that!) I tell one of my guys, Willy, to find a place where me and my guys can hangout, relax, make plans for future…endeavors. Willy does just that.
Our new “social club” is great…except my wise guys want food, too. So Willy knocks a hole in the wall and there’s just enough room for a sink, walk-in, and a pizza oven. So, Willy starts makin’ pizzas.
In a matter of days the aroma gets around da neighborhood. “Civilians” start comin’ by, askin’ to buy pizza. Us, bein’ good ‘neighbors’ oblige…and before ya know it we got a line around the block!
Next thing I know…we’re goin’ legit! We’re makin’ more money in da pizza business than our other…stuff.
I tell Willy…”run with it…!” We are in da pizza business full time!
