Mobsters have serious food fight over stolen pizza recipe

If there's one lesson to take away from mobster Francis Guerra's racketeering and murder trial, it's that you do NOT steal recipes from The Family. Anthony Russo, a Mafia man-turned-informant, said Guerra threatened to "break [the] head" of Eugene Lombardo over a knockoff of Guerra's in-laws' famous pizza. Lombardo reportedly cased L&B Spumoni Gardens (whose Sicilian slices are often cited among NYC's best) shortly before opening his own pizzeria, but when Lombardo advertised his pies as "L&B-style" pizza, the sauce really hit the fan. The crime families eventually met at a local Panera Bread (really?), and Lombardo had to fork over a $4,000-or-else payoff.
