It's funny but they are franchised stores that could be shaken down because they have an owner of that single store. U have to shake down the owner tho not the counter boy. But he will most likely run to the fbi

99% of the zah in Chicago is garbage. IDGaF, how you slice it. Most consumers a rehtareds when it comes to dough, sauce, toppings, etc. ettc. There is no culture here anymore. Anyone who gives AF grows/sources their own ingredients and cooks at home. Whatever one thinks, much less knows, about laissez-faire capitalism, comes to the realization that we're on the smelly end of the dog-poo stick.
This is crazy! I grew up one block away from the square and remember when it opened, I used to spend a lot of time in that place. The waitress/counter lady was a sweetheart but it was very evident she came from some crazy background or mob related family.
lmfao the silhouette that hides nothing about the person, the aggressive sweat wiping that goes on for far too long and serves zero purpose, the pizza being served at the sit down with dramatic music playing, the unfinished story about the pizza owner gunned down in front of his family, all makes this comedic gold. what a hysterically sloppily thrown together video of a story that actually is worthwhile and interesting, but was done no favours by being told through Vice.
@@ErikPT About 1% maybe and 99% is American blood, any Italian blood is so watered down since their family came to the US over 100 years ago. They're Americans, after all everybody in America (except native American Indians) has a heratige from another country, everyone's relations came from somewhere else originally but those people don't say, " I'm French or I'm German or whatever country their family originated from. All except people with Italian or Irish heritage, for some reason those guys all say" I'm Italian or I'm Irish, when they've never been near Italy or Ireland. It's just funny when Americans actually say I'm Irish or I'm Italian when the truth ifs they're Americans with Irish or Italian roots, guy's you're Americans
@@davidmellish3295 you are a hater 😂 you want people to not be a certain way so bad bro, how watered down can it be? There are only so many generations in 100 years 😂 I’m 4th generation still carrying 50% of my heritage’s blood. Let people be proud of who they are. You should be proud of who you are too. You sound mad jealous right now 😂 kinda sus
The square was a block away from me, I never saw that place busy once, mind you, there was 4 pizzerias in the football field sized circle that made up the town square where ‘the square’ was located. L&B just fell off drastically and wasn’t anything compared to what it once was at that time.
Keep in mind legitimate businesses are still maintained for money laundering. There's lots of peaceful Mexican drug cartel businesses in Mexico to wash their American dollars since they have to funnel their drug profits in the US down to Mexico and convert it to the Mexican peso so local authorities can't trace their money. Restaurants, even road side street tacos have to pay cartel money
Man they have been putting the sauce on top of the cheese, has been goin in since the 50’s. So if you have an original “way” to make a pizza its not gonna be as good. Theres love in the food. Dont forget

This is the problem when you think pennywise but pound foolish. They all could have made $ if it weren't for short, sided thinking. Wasted opportunity for everyone involved, just needed better advising.
This is stupid because if you “steal” recipes the other person doesn’t know how to make it like the same unless they do. Then what ingredient about a pizza could possibly be stolen really. Rosetta’s getting into the frozen pizza business is the hardest slinging of pizza I’ve ever seen in my life and that orange color thin sauce of theirs is delicious. I really think myself though that the best pizza concept is the Philly tomato pie. I never go to Philly but I’d actually like swooping in on the famous places that make this pizza style one day. Absolutely my favorite. Can’t believe other people that need it to have an introduction. It’s rudimentary. It’s crisp. Doesn’t make mobsters 💩 their pants on the job because the cheese wasn’t kept properly . Keeps Philly tattoo artists from 💩 themselves on the job. Philly tomato pie is an underdog legend.
This happens everywhere in the food industry. We don’t see McDonald’s sending mafia plp to all the small businesses etc. Even in other industry you see this from tech, clothing, shoes etc so it’s not supposed to be taken to this level….
Has LCN really fallen this far. Back in the day sit downs happened to settle disputes in the millions of dollars. Now all this for a 1 time 75K payout? Disgraceful.
JUST BECAUSE-you’ve done something for a certain amount of years or since you were very young or because that’s the only thing you’ve done is literally no correlation or justification that the indication is your good at something. There’s plenty of people that have been doing certain things for 20 30/50 years and are still horrible and bad at that thing. There is no brag in saying you’re unemployable in another area as proof of your proficiency in original said thing. 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂

$75k is peanuts to settle stealing L&B's recipe.
I guess the pizza guy didn't know there are legal ways to keep employees from stealing trade secrets.

Anyone know where to watch the rest of this?
Where's the rest of the story?
I live down the block from l n b for 46 years. This is 100 % not even close to how this story went but hey, its your story now lol
Honestly the quality went down. Also the workers give old squares.....they keep the fresh stuff for themselves.

What year was this?
My pizza never hurt nobody
plot twist: the recipe wasn't stolen, they just didn't want competition
imagine if the pizza tasted like every other pizza place and they still wanted a slice of the action from an eerily similar pizza.
That Scott Weiner nerd from the $1 slice munchies video 😂

This is exactly what portnoy was talking about in that one bite review were homeboy supposedly didnt steal the pepperoni pizza recipe.

It’s not over pizza sauce. It’s over money and people’s ability to make a living

Among us Italians this is something to keep in family.
