One fake dubbed score because Pres is scared to get his legs broken everyone knows the rules
legit laughed out loud at this
I grew up half a mile from the other la Nova's and the the pizzaria across the street mysteriously burned down in an "accident" shortly after they opened. It's well known around here that the old man and his sons have a mob connection. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if davey one slice was coerced into a good score. The pizza isn't that good anyways. Buffalo has a shitload better food to offer that isn't la Nova's, trust me.
@@leazyfpv5521 there's more truth than you know lol
@@leazyfpv5521 well it’s true, todaro who owns it is the head of the Buffalo crime family. It’s been well known he’s controlled western New York and Ontario for 30 something years. Him and dozens of others including crooked dea agents and a nys Supreme Court justice are under investigation right now from the feds
@@matthewh4747 bro have you been watching the news lately? The whole federal investigation is insane. They’ve indicted six so far. They’re investigating that nys Supreme Court judge, and already got todaros nephews on the drugs guns and sex trafficking. They interviewed todaro and he said it was “nonsense
Those girls eat hot Cheetos and yell on the school bus
This will still be a thing in 3019.
... my favorite
@@Signals_Jerry it will be a thing as long as Cheetos exist
Yooooo that’s too real 😂
eat hot chip and lie
Bro I guarantee you, you are one of like 3 people in history who have heard Joe Todaro say "come on, let me show you the freezers" and come back upstairs with your body intact. So many golden moments, all of which had Pres inches from losing his life lol
Yeah, I bet Todaro showed those stupid boxes out of habit of throwing the people in there.
@@KiffJRockka "You fuck with me I'm putting your body in a box and sending it to your mother."
I think dude was using it as a opportunity to have footage of his shop online like he's paranoid he's being watched so he's look nothing to see here. He's not even saying like this is where we keep this we source it from bla bla how any restaurant owner would say he'd just go thru three locks to open a door with boxes in it like dudes supposed to react. He got carried away with his motive
My son must have been one of the 3!
@@darlenesulit7078im the other one lol
One 3 minute review with a 7 minute epilogue, everybody know he was lucky to get out alive.
😂😂
He aint no fuckin threat! TRUST ME I KNOW FOR SURE
@@raysmithpt25 lol are you still alive after all your shot talking? Just curious
@@mattsimon6926 I worked there for 18 years and still do so until you're actually around you should be quiet unless you know him and even if you do he likes to get tough with people he expect to back down from him, this ain't the day of the Mafia anymore, no one is scared of the Mafia, I just cussed him out big time when the Bills played the Titans FOH
@@raysmithpt25 you’re actually bragging about working in a local pizza shop for 18 years? Hey I guess if you set your bar low enough you can never fail 🤙🏼
"He's showing me boxes" LMAOOOOOO
No offence, but there fucking boxes.
Funny stuff
Then he tries to offer wings and fails 😂
@@turtles9707 “yea your right I’m sorry” Lmaooooo 😂😂😂
Fuckin lost it when i heard that lmao
Funniest pizza review ever. "Your just showing me boxes" 😂
I died😂
You like the blue cheese 🤣
Everybody in Buffalo knows the REAL mafia owns La Nova. Pres had no idea he was actually walking into a mafia joint when he was making all those mob jokes. He had no idea who he was talking to either. That old “salt of the earth” guy is a man known as “Big Joe” Todaro. He is legitimately the boss of the Buffalo crime family. Think about it. He walks out with an envelope and asks the cameras to be shut off when he gets a phone call, then walks away so no one can hear what’s going on. Joe is a nice guy. A good person. A philanthropist. His pizza and wings are a solid 9.4/10, but he’s an old school mob boss through and through. Look it up.
It's not just Buffalo, they run half the state and everything in Canada from the Falls to Toronto
Holy shit! I looked it up. You weren’t kidding!
@@xp8969 lmao sure they do buddy
@@Waltherppk78 they actually do kid do some dam research and see for yourself moron
The old man is wearing an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak wristwatch that costs about $70,000. Yeah he’s rolling in dough
Who went back to listen for the “7.3” 😂
TurkeyyBag you suck
Mark K On the real I went back like five times LOL 🤣
Yea😂
I did lol, was like wtf was that hahah
Sounded like pft's pat mahomes impression lol
Dave breaking the stones of a MAFIA BOSS is epic. This stuff you don't see everyday, pure GOLD!
He’s a pizza store owner
@@yute7184 He can be whatever he wants to be LOL
@@yute7184 yes he is, and the fbi also believes he was the boss of whatever was left of the Buffalo crime family after his dad (joe tudaro sr) died.
@yute7184, he denies it cuz he has too but it’s a terribly kept secret, he is the boss of the Buffalo crime family. I actually met him cuz my bf used to deliver food for them. I’m glad they’ve never been able to pin anything on him cuz he seems like a really nice guy, and he’s good for the community
@@yute7184 I mean he is legit part of a crime family, look up the name Todaro
That ringtone is insane. I thought he was turning off his car alarm with his phone at first
I thought somebody hit on a illegal gambling machine
Too funny, he has no idea this is “Big Joe” Tadaro.. an actual mob boss and he’s making jokes about the meat locker and bodies and stuff. Absolutely no idea who he is and he’s making wise cracks like this guy can’t make portnoy disappear.
Just looked it up and you’re right. Wow Pres was playing with fire on this one
I'm really surprised the Bills are going to sell pizza at the stadium that endorses the Mob.. C'mon
they did the fake score because they know who he is and they jokingly dont want to make him mad cause hes a mob guy... i think they knew lol
@@bradythagoatt well it doesn't really matter because he says it a 6.8. So these guys know Davey was lying once they watch the video. No wonder the grandson warned the grandfather.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Todaro_Jr. 😬😬😬☠️☠️☠️
"When they found Carbone in the meat truck, he was frozen so stiff it took them three days to thaw him out for the autopsy”
Richard Kuklinski has entered the chat....
Lol
That's the actual mafia. Everyone in Buffalo knows it. You got Bills Mafia, but you got actual Mafia. And that's La Nova.
It's the one place you dont rob in Buffalo.
How u think they got escalades as pizza delivery cars 😂😂😂😂
@@itsssirr1606 I like how they pretended to sell a million pizzas one year.. obviously laundering money and no one called them on their bullshit. They'd have to sell almost 3,000 pizzas every single day...
@@rafaelrondon2854 100,000 or 200,000 maybe. but no way a fuckin million
@@rafaelrondon2854 They supply pizzas and ship wings to other parts of the country.
One Escalade as a delivery truck, everybody knows they’re upside down.
Robbie White all the other drivers use their personal cars and they have more than one Escalade just not on the premises.
@@haleylabolt4060 How much do you make for being a lawyer the mob keeps on retainer?
Robbie White they have more then one Escalade as a delivery truck. I go to La Nova a lot.
Joe Todaro Jr. is such a stand-up guy..... One of the last of the Old-timer's!
@@haleylabolt4060 2 escalades! One for the store, the other one is used personally someone! No big deal these people is a joke! And Ive told him to his face plenty of times
this guy is actually a big time guy in the mafia in buffalo lmaooooo
Big time Hes the Don bruh
@@vegasgambino1744 sorry I didn’t say the Don buddy get a life
It's not just Buffalo, they run half the state and everything in Canada from the Falls to Toronto
The guy's making it look like he's letting the feds know his freezers are clean, what he doesn't show you are the dirty ones round the back
As a life long Buffalonian, I was thinking how lucky he was to have made it out of that joint alive. He was very close to finding out where Hoffa is, Just saying.
Hold on I'll be right back a UPS driver is knocking at my door... Funny thing is I don't remember ordering any packages.
Ashy Slashy F
Caleb Sketchy because he’s an actual mob boss. Google Big Joe Todaro Jr.
sugreev2001 I was like that AP on his hand can’t be from selling pizzas and wings
Every restaurant manager needs a personal steam room
Prez can get along with all kinds of people. That's a good trait.
NFL is rigged first positive comment ever
It's a Jewish thing
@Michael Stanton and all the regular white people from Buffalo. But make sure you make everything about race. Stupid fucking millenials.
@Michael Stanton stupid race baiting millennial.
Matt C. *Palestine has entered the chat
3 years later and him just showing you boxes is still amazing
The owner definitely a mafia boss. He was terrified to be on film. Like he was on America’s most wanted. I thought it was a goodfellas scene.
cmontalvo194 you can google him , he’s a bad ass
His name is Joe Todaro Jr
That’s honestly the best review I’ve ever seen I was laughing my ass off the whole time.
Just Don’t laugh to “Big” Joe Todaro Jr.’s face. You’ll never see the light of day again if you do that lol. He’s been the head of the Buffalo crime family for 30 years. His underboss is Domenico Viola. His nephews Peter and Tony Gerace were just indicted on charges of sex trafficking, narcotics trafficking, and illegal firearms. A crooked DEA Agent you took bribes from them was just arrested, and the feds are investigating a nys Supreme Court judges “friendship” with Todaro and his nephews, and when this became known, a day later, that judge coincidentally was hit and nearly killed by a freight train. There more news stories. It’s flooding the news in western ny rn. So yeah, these guys while may think of the movies, are the real thing, and are very very dangerous guys
@@danhaley9393 what happened after this? i'm just curious.
@@danhaley9393 judge took his own life since then
@@danhaley9393 out of towners think buffalo is a big joke because it's buffalo. To an out of towner they mine as well be the mafia of toon-town.
But what they don't understand... is that the buffalo/niagara falls mafia, is the only mafia in the country that was never dismantled.
Every other city, all those guys got caught. That never happened in buffalo.
Just let that sink in.
@@brockmccaw4259 yeah saw that. Supposedly anyway.
This was by far one of my fave reviews, if I ever find myself randomly in Buffalo I’m chucking out la nova 7.3*** 😂😂😂
Checking***
Me too lol.. average score but the guys personality makes it so much better
La nova is def a 10 I eat it atleast 3 times of the week all there food is good 😋
Make sure you get pepperoni on the pie,adds tone of flavor.
9.2 wings
I love that when Dave and the crew meet “real” people the score gets influenced. Great review.
I was actually pretty nervous for most of this one
I think he was actually thinking about wacking him, but Dave won him over at some point and he decided not too.
...This place is actually mobbed up
Legit.
MrAitraining lol look up big joe tadora and then say it’s a pretend shop again😂
@@MrAitraining Joseph "Big Joe" Todaro Jr. is a Buffalo, New York businessman and organized crime figure allegedly involved in labor racketeering, loansharking, illegal gambling, narcotics, and murder for hire. Outside of organized crime, Todaro operates La Nova Pizzeria, a popular pizza restaurant in Buffalo.

This is the hardest I've ever laughed at anything that Barstool has ever put out. Great review.

Exactly 💯
@@danhaley9393 if he is the boss,why would he not shun publicity?
5:44 "The next time I ask you to stop filming, you stop filming. Do that again and your head goes in this oven."
Man I just relistened to that, that's fucked hahahaha
Hahahah that could be what he said
@@ryancoleman7855not what he said
@@breezy9394 who cares LOL
Love how the guy hated the low 7 review on the pizza and totally missed the 9.2 wing review cause he was yapping on the phone 😂
Hey, you're in Buffalo...where they invented the damn things. If they're not at least a 9.0...something's wrong.
The guy you talk off is a known legit mobster off the real wny mafia
Yea but for Dave to give a 9 anything is basically a 10 for everybody else lol
Did u hear his convo on the phone? Lol. Talking about a hotel and how someone wants the best place in town. Then he says " I own the whole fuckin floor". Lol
One bite, everybody know's The Mafia paid off Prez.
lol
This was hilarious! The 7.3 voiceover, the bathroom with the steam room, the murder freezer with boxes. Good review
Just when I was getting bored with these reviews along comes Buffalo's Tony Soprano. Excellent stuff.
It's not just Buffalo, they run half the state and everything in Canada from the Falls to Toronto
I’m from Buffalo and was never really a huge La Nova fan but that was probably one of the most entertaining pizza reviews. I laughed so hard.
Their cheese and pepperoni slices are average but their speciality slices and wings are bomb
Picasso's alllll da way
I agree with Picassos pizza for wny...
Dood Olisis.
Been working in the pizza game for over a decade. Never seen a padlock on walk-in freezers
To prevent the "wings" from escaping ?.
A clue, the nice owner wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Todaro_Jr.
Cause he’s actually a mob boss. The feds are investigating him rn. He controls the Buffalo crime family. Big Joe Todaro Jr.
@@danhaley9393 lol perhaps
@@SAsh-zg6ln not perhaps, it’s well known around these parts. Just look up his name online, he has a wiki, or look up the Buffalo crime family and you’ll see tons of news articles from the current fbi investigations. There’s no perhaps about it lol. The fbi has wanted him since the late 1960s, he’s just a slippery guy.
@@danhaley9393 damn that’s kinda electric
This place is mobbed up. Good pizza too.
the hasidic homeboy?
The owner was straight out of the Sopranos. Even has Goodfella's quotes on his uniform lmao. The delivery driver looked like he's killed a few people too.
Seriously. Pretty sure he’s wearing a gold AP.
Jcream101 I’ve had La Nova before and it is actually amazing pizza.
I don't wanna get shot or robbed getting my pizza. Place looks like a fucking war zone
If you know the restaurant business than you know owners are usually reluctant to take people into their freezers,especially non-staff,due to how nasty or dirty the freezers usually are.I'm glad the owner is at least ensuring things are in an acceptable manner that even a guy like Dave and his cameras can go in there.Ive seen some nasty freezers in my days,one had mushrooms growing in it.
I worked in one “fancy restaurant” that had standing water in the walk in fridge & the door to the wall in literally did not even close all the way and half the employees didn’t wear gloves
Prob also trying to show that he doesn’t have guys hanging out and playing cards lol
Love how the mob boss is casually wearing a ~$60k AP Gold Royal Oak. Great watch!
pays well
Delivering pizzas in an Escalade
Funny story about this… I’ve been friendly with Joe for 5 years now he comes down to marriot harbor beach in fort laud during winter and I’m a member there
We met and he always saw me wearing watches
Before Covid in 19 he said I want to get this ap my dealer has it at a discount (before market went crazy) I said that’s crem de la crem (perpetual cal) he got like 30% off and was like 68k
We saw each other after Covid craziness but at height of market and he was hollering how it’s worth 200k now and thank you so much haha
We took wrist pics
One loud annoying ringtone, everybody knows it’s because he’s an Italian
its the lack of attention span so its gotta be loud af
Very intense. And 2 seconds after answering he lost focus both times 😂
He's actually the boss of La Cosa Nostra in Buffalo.
@@frazmeupnice racist jab buddy
The high pitched voice over for the score. 😂
This is such a great review. Didnt expect the place to be so big . Prez looked like he didnt wanna stay but it turned out to be a great experience for him and Frankie especially with the wings. Great job barstool
Most underrated review of all time! 😆 and Dave has balls sticking up for himself I respect that!
That old man was great I love that he captures those moments there simple beautiful moments caught love it made my day
King David631 he’s a mob boss
@@MikeD-hs6pf good on him
One 10 minute upload everyone knows it’s about to be electric
“Don’t let him keep you too long” - “well uh we’re doing this phonecall from his bathroom”😂😂
it all ties in to the end - i can honestly say this is the best pizza review of all time - beginning climax and ending
Instant classic. One of the best all time.
Did he really dubbed over a score I’m so dead 💀 😂
Shouldn’t that make it unofficial? You can’t re score
One Bad La Nova review and you're sleeping with the fishes, everybody knows the rules.
He had too lmao. That’s “Big” Joe Todaro Jr. he was with. He’s been the head of the Buffalo crime family for 30 years. His underboss is Domenico Viola. His nephews Peter and Tony Gerace were just indicted on charges of sex trafficking, narcotics trafficking, and illegal firearms. A crooked DEA Agent you took bribes from them was just arrested, and the feds are investigating a nys Supreme Court judges “friendship” with Todaro and his nephews, and when this became known, a day later, that judge coincidentally was hit and nearly killed by a freight train. There more news stories. It’s flooding the news in western ny rn. One bad review, and Dave may have been wearing cement shoes, jk lol. In seriousness though, these guys are very dangerous guys, guys that have pulled the trigger more than once, guys that you don’t want to have beef with.
Kevo Cabb 6.8
One Expos shirt, everybody knows Dave has never been to Canada.
I loved this review so much that I don't even care if it's a 6.8 pizza. I'm willing to drive the 6 or so hours to check this place out. The energy from this place is top notch.
It’s been about a year, have ya done it yet?
The wings are worth the drive!
@@p00ch58 i went Monday the pizza is superb
“This is the meat locker I keep all my dead bodies.”
One ignored compliment on the shirt everybody knows prez is heartbroken
Google. “Joe Todaro” big mafia don that owns this pizza place.
Jesus you weren't even lying
Totally explains the "don't say that" when prez joked about mafia shit lolll
Holy Shit!!!
I love this interaction with Dave and the owner lol so raw and real
One Jimmy Hoffa iceman everyone knows the Teamsters are after Pres now
Local 210
one 7.3 everyone knows its actually a 6.8
Lol. Yup
That * next to the score means it's actually a 6.8
Only the mafia could change a score
no. he barely ate that pizza. that pizza looked great.
Something that's actually fuckin amazing? Dave got to meet an actual active mob boss, like an actual boss not a capo like Franzese or an underboss like Gravano, this is a real old-school boss that isn't online giving podcasts like Merlino.
haha Watched about 100 of these videos, THIS may be my favorite one yet. Fun stuff Barstool Dave! THUMBS UP
Respect for going to the la novas on the westside and not the one in Amherst 💪💪
Facts but how they leave out just pizza
Thank you !!! 😂😂😂
@@itsssirr1606 The best pizza places in buffalo are the small mom and pop places. Not the chains like lanova and just pizza.
Is this the one on Delaware Ave? Driven past it for 50 years, after watching this, I can’t wait to go there! Love big Joe!
@@dbc7772011 what?😂 there is no La Novas on Delaware this is La Novas on the Westside on Ferry street
All time great review. Thanks for visiting our city, Pres! Man of the people!
I will forever here "7.3!" in that voice whenever someone asks me how something tastes...lol. good review and great hospitality. Pizza brings everyone together.
With every word that came out of Daves mouth I was more on edge.
One cool western NY old guy, everybody knows Prez has a new father figure.
lol
@patrick howard You're a millennial huh?
One "father figure" who already runs his own "family" everyone knows the rules...
@@MikeSmith-gx6be lmao i have a friend from Buffalo. I asked him of this place was really mobbed up. He said. "Yep "
*Actual Mob boss* not just some old guy
everybody knows 2:14 was a coke deal and didn’t want it on camera. Escalade delivers pizza and Coke not Pepsi
Hands down the BEST Prez Pizza review ever. These people are absolutely priceless.......
One of the greatest reviews of all time
Potentially my favorite review lol I'm dead!! Edited score, call from the shitter, and the confession of the score at the end had me dying 😂😂
Considering the guy is the Current Boss of the Buffalo LCN.... for sure.
Respect to the son (guy in orange). Just a biz owner trying to grow his brand and provide. Good review.
LOL I love Dave sticking up for himself and telling him how it is. My respect went even higher for him for that!
I love it.. This is the same type of hospitality you get in Oklahoma. Completely different cultures.. same vibes.. They got pizza and wings.. we got steak, ribs and chicken.. love it, man. My favorite review.
More of these types of reviews please! Entertaining from beginning to end, love it when Dave gets one of these old school pizza owners to banter with. "These are just boxes, you're just showing me boxes now"....lol
Holy shit one of the best pizza reviews of all time comes from my home town. Pats may have won last week, but we still got a dub!
Two of the best reviews if you include Bills Mafia and Pizza Pete
I'm relatively new to these Pizza Reviews and this is so far the most hilarious one. He even brought him into his bathroom and it seems like Dave can't say no. I guess that's why I'm reading so many coke comments on all his videos.
Kiei Luahi 😂 welcome
7.3 Everyone knows prez doesn't want to end up in those boxes.
Wow, they blessed him with the wings too. Jeez. Lol
This is my favourite review to date, I was in absolute stitches.
Best review yet, that guy is a national treasure.
Thats so Italian.
“These are just boxes. You’re showing me boxes.”
Best review. Definitely want to go there.
Man I love these multi-generation pizza shops
La Nova’s was my favorite Buffalo place when I lived there (many many years ago). Bocce’s was good, too. But like Dave, I like a thin, crisp slice when I’m standing on the sidewalk. Buffalo pizza is a full-on meal.
I live in Buffalo and all those jokes you were making weren’t jokes my man…. Just be glad he liked you
Dave is the epitome of giving zero fucks. “You’re just showing me boxes.”
Legendary
I might be from Buffalo but this was the best review i have ever seen on this god forsaken channel!!!!!
This is an instant classic. This guy is awesome.
I love this review! I'd go eat there just because he kept showing him boxes. That owner's distraction game is on POINT!
La Nova owner is so genuine and welcoming 👏🏽🙌🏼😍. Bathroom phone call was hilarious🤣. ❤️Dave for entertaining all of the owner’s requests👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
He's also the boss of the Buffalo Mafia
Are you from Buffalo?
He’s was so apologetic after the boxes comment lmao what a nice guy
This is Barstools greatest pizza review!
Hands down the best owner yet. Dude is real! Need to add him to future segments.
He’s a Godamn mafia boss
@@danevertt3210 he does not act like a mafia boss.
@@russel777yeah so he wont get caught lol thats obvious
This was the best review that I’ve seen in a while.
This is the most western NY shit I’ve ever seen and I’m from Western NY
Mase Leone hahaha yoooo😂😂 I thought this too
Dustin J Yeah but then Pres would’ve met a Gingello, not a Todaro.
I live nearby... My life is colorful.
Same 😂
This up there with one of the best reviews 😂😂
Guy was cool as hell. Seems like a real nice guy. Glad Dave was kind enough to give him a 7.3 looked like decent pizza those wing's tho😍
That nice old man has killed more people than Marlboro. He’s a mob boss.
6.8
This was hilarious. With the music and the quirkiness it felt like an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm
This is the greatest review of all time. That old ginzo is the best!!
Mike Lofo that old Ginzo is the head of the the biggest Mob in Buffalo
@@thomasdatrain7977 Im surprised the mob is not back in NYC. With the riots and police shutting small businesses down, it would have been prime time for mob protection. Whacking a few cops that overstep boundaries or a few people that smash in store windows
@@TheAngryAustrian Yeah I mean who outside the organization rly knows what they are up. Different time I guess
Loving all the reviews in Buffalo. Missed you out there by week. If you are ever in the Vermont area would love to have you stop into Ramuntos Bennington. Go Bills!!
La Novas is the best, I grew up on the west side of buffalo and close to them, ate there often and Love Joe and his family.
That shit was hilarious Dave! I was wondering the whole video what was up with that voice on your score. Then at the end when you explained it I was in years laughing!
Everyone knows that's Eddie mush from A Bronx Tale. Nice to see he's improved the bathroom he used to be stuck in.
Someone was worried about sleeping with the fishes, everybody knows a fake score. Great review
I wish Dave would do these longer format videos where he does more than just pizza reviews
This is one of the top 5 best reviews 😄
Amazing. "those are just boxes" 😂😂😂 best review ever.
