THE PIZZA BAR | Est. 1972 HISTORY: The Pizza Bar is a Paleto Bay sandwich/pizza shop, renowned state-wide across northwest San Andreas for their "Hot Ham n' Cheese" sandwich and hand-rolled pizzas. It features a classic, simple menu consisting of authentic Sicilian and Italian dishes, as well as traditional American fare. Originally founded as a pool hall in the 1960s by Neapolitan immigrant Carlo Furillo, it was purchased in 1972 by Blaine County Circuit clerk James Leigh and his wife Lucille. Turning it into a sandwich shop, the Pizza Bar became a staple of Blaine County, catering primarily to Paleto High's afterschool crowd. Following Lucille's death in 2014, the restaurant began to sink into decline. In December 2022, the Pizza Bar filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and all assets were sold to Los Santos entrepreneur Vincent J. Torelli in March 2023. Under the Torelli family's ownership, the interior was repaired and the menu was revitalized, consisting primarily of traditional American fare and authentic Italian and Sicilian recipes from Vincent's grandmother, who originally hailed from Agrigento, Western Sicily.

Organized crime history Organized crime researchers believe Vincent's initial involvement with the Italian-American mafia began in 2005, when he was hired by Faraday Securities Corporation. His father James Torelli reputedly used his connections to Wall Street businessmen in Algonquin, Liberty City to secure the position for Vincent. He also could've used extortionary tactics against then-executive Sylvester McCollough, who later died of natural causes in 2010. By 2021, Vincent was active in the criminal underworld of Los Santos. It is believed that during much of 2021 and early 2022, Vincent was associated with Melody Frey, a noted criminal figure and political anarchist active in southern San Andreas. It is believed that Frey was responsible for the importation and distribution of large amounts of fentanyl and cocaine via an importer with ties to the San Andreas government, and that Vincent worked as an enforcer for Frey's organized criminal ring on behalf of the Torelli crime family. By the summer of 2022, Vincent allegedly gained a connection to the locally dominant Martorano crime family, and worked primarily as a drug trafficker for the organization. He was associated to the Downtown crew, through captain John "Apples" Aparo (d. 2023). According to witness testimony, Vincent was also an associate of Rocco DiFiore (d. 2022), Ronald DiFiore (d. 2022), and Dominic Civella, the latter of which was indicted in April 2023 for racketeering and embezzlement. As of July 2023, Vincent maintains a loose connection to the mafia presence in southern San Andreas, reputedly working as a representative of the Alderney mafia. He conducts business from the Pizza Bar, a restaurant in rural Paleto Bay. References 1. ^ Black Hand Forum (needs citation) 2. ^ u/Wdstrvx (June 19, 2023).

Henry Stelli From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Henry Martino Stelli (born November 14, 1997) is a reputed American mobster in Los Santos, San Andreas. Henry is an associate of the Philadelphia crime family, via member John Amendola, in Vespucci Beach. According to organized crime investigators, Henry has been active in the Vespucci neighborhood of Los Santos, as part of a loosely-knit crew of mob-affiliated criminals on the corner of Bay City Avenue and Aguja Street. Biography Henry Stelli was born in 1997 in Messina, Sicily, to Angelina Stelli. His father remains unknown, but was allegedly an associate of a chapter of Sicilian Cosa Nostra in eastern Sicily who had an extramarital affair with Angelina. Shortly after Henry was born, he and his mother moved to America, possibly coerced by his father. The family settled in upstate Liberty State, near Albany. Henry grew up in Troy, Liberty State near the corner of 4th and Ferry Streets, commonly considered the "Little Italy" of the Albany-Schenectady-Troy Metropolitan Area, having a large Italian-American presence even into the 21st century. Henry commonly associated with local petty criminals during his high school years, specializing in internet scams. In 2014, Henry became associated to Matthew "Matty" Catalano, a Philadelphia-based gangster. Soon after graduating high school, Henry moved to South Philadelphia to pursue a criminal career with Matthew. He was quickly introduced to other associates of Matthew, including John and Victor Amendola, Frank Cascone and Dominick Attardo. Starting in 2018, several members and associates of the Philadelphia family under John Amendola began moving out west to southern San Andreas. The Philadelphia crime family has historically maintained a large presence in San Andreas, especially through Philip Martorano, a former Philadelphia member who led the Martorano crime family until his death in late 2022. Henry arrived in Los Santos in 2018, where he was quick to ingrain himself into the city's criminal underworld. By 2020, Henry had made a name for himself as a marijuana dealer, working primarily with African-American gangsters from the south side. It is believed that Henry is still active in Los Santos as of 2023. Allegedly, he maintains an association to the La Cosa Nostra presence on Aguja Street, earning money through drug trafficking, auto theft and extortion. The Amendola Crew While the Martorano family's strongholds historically include Mission Row on the corner of Sinner Street and Vespucci Avenue, and Vespucci Beach on Bay City Avenue, Henry Stelli and other Amendola associates were primarily active on Aguja Street. The Aguja Street mobsters have maintained a unique identity, and their existence dates as far back as the late-1980s and 1990s, when a crew of the Philadelphia family existed out of the Silver Stallion bar, including now-retired mobsters such as Raymond Sciandra, Victor DiFarina and the recently deceased Benjamin "Benny Venturas" Carneglia, a prominent west coast casino magnate. It is believed that for a brief period of time in the early 2020s, the Amendola Crew was considered under the umbrella of Martorano's organization. However, following the coup against former Martorano boss John "Apples" Aparo by Paul Longo, the family fell into disarray and the Amendola Crew became an independent entity again.
