Thieves rob NYC pizzeria and make off with lots of dough - literally

[marmar]

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Police in New York City say thieves held up the owners of a pizzeria and then fled with a bag full of dough — the kind that crusts are made of.

Police tell the Daily News that Salvatore LaRosa was charged with robbery after surrendering to police.

According to court papers, LaRosa and an accomplice followed the owners of Brothers Pizzeria on Staten Island. After donning masks, the papers say, they pointed guns and demanded the men turn over a bag they believed held the day's proceeds.

But instead, the bag was full of pizza dough.

LaRosa was released on $1 million bail on Monday. His attorney, James Froccaro, declined to comment.

1. THAT should make Keith's list...

2. They caught him?

LaRosa should have jumped on the scale and got a weigh.

God, this thread is going to get soooo locked.

3. A couple of years ago, when I had a pizza shop,

A 50# bag of flour jumped from $7.00 to over $30.00. They made off with some white gold!
