La Nova Pizzeria Buffalo Shooting

https://buffalonews.com/2019/07/18/man-shot-repeatedly-outside-la-nova-pizzeria-in-buffalo/

Update: Man shot outside La Nova Pizzeria in fair condition at ECMC

Anyone know the name of the individual that was shot ?

No, only someone made an assumption that his shooting may be related to two other guys from Detroit who were shot later that night at a gentleman's club. All three are still alive. Six shots were fired at the La Nova Pizzeria guy when he walked out of the restaurant and went down the street. The other two were in a gentleman's club parking lot when a vehicle speed into the parking lot and three men got out and started shooting at the guys in the parking lot.

Thanks Giacomo.

Another question:

Do you know if that place is still owned by the Todaro family ?

Yes the Todaros still own the restaurant.

You mentioned the La Nova Pizzeria guy, are you saying he was an employee or just differentiating between the guys shot in Detroit.

Thanks, I was just wondering if someone was making a move on them or if it was just a random shooting.

Honestly, I have no clue. The area is a hotbed for gang activity and drugs so could be that. I will say gang leaders are at the store all the time. I have to wonder if there isn’t some interconnection in all of that. Of course they could just be enjoying a slice. Everyone loves their pizza.

Differentiating the two shootings that day. He was just a customer somewhat of a regular. I believe the shootings were street gangs. There may be a connection, there may not be a connection. I dont see Buffalo family involved in this, just that La Nova Pizzeria is where the guy left moments ago before being shot. Plus this would be too much publicity for them after Canada, they would want it quite and under the radar. The family wants to avoid anything in the limelight, and would only make a public hit if there is no other way.

NC, there is are some members of gangs that frequent La Nova Pizzeria, but they are usually with their families. You are right, they do make some good pizza.

We all know that LCN is using street gang foot soldiers to do their shootings today.

Buffalo would never do something like this however, this sure wouod be a nice way to make a headache for TODARO, which every where we turn you have credible people saying Buffalo, is playing a very active role in the C.A. mob war.

It's getting harder and harder for TODARO, to claim he has nothing to do with anything LCN.

Nothing so close to a business, especially a legitimate one that helps to keeps the IRS at bay.

I think that Todaro was is a smart guy and that would never give the ok for kill a man outside of his legitimate bussiness.

I agree I am saying that part of his do we had been he is and always was a legit business man
.
Which is Genius be side it is a way of tainting the jury pool against him.

He has broadcast an image of himself of an old grandpa business man that is being targeted because the sins of his father and because his last name ends in a vowel.

If he gets indicted a jury of his peers which are locals from his area he is more known as the Pizza.or wing guy than LCN boss.

He would never do anything to risk that reputation.

However, for his rivals and people that want to hurt him :TAINTING" his rep would be a score that's all I am saying.....

He has been cultivating his rep for a lifetime.

The Buffalo mob if still exist isnt respected by the street gangs if one of them decide to order a shooting near the of a pizzeria owned by an alleged mob boss.

The Todaro family still owns La Nova. This is just a random hit, no mob connections at all.

Ravens agreed that is most likely the case but Furio is still on point....

The Buffalo Mafia....the family so strong and powerful the local police, 99.9% of the local media as well as the FBI are too scared to admit they still exist (even though the law enforcement would get more funding the media would make more money if they said they existed) ...they have guys killed from Montreal to Toronto and are running the mafia in Canada....... but some street banger has no fear of whacking someone outside of this secretive international mob families boss’ pizza place.... makes sense! 🤦‍♂️

Very true. After the Cali hit, I don’t know what to believe anymore

I dont said that the Buffalo mob run the mafia in canada etc etc but if there are any italian group in buffalo,dont have enought men to scary the gangs.

Don’t know anything about this case but if you guys think that there is nothing going on in these once thriving mob city’s you are wrong.

I am not saying there are full families or a commission seat or anything near but these guys still have connections and still do not have no problem making money the way they have and there grandfathers before.

Not saying there not creating new rackets because every now and then you get a smart guy and he does well along with all the old stuff they been doing for years.

And it’s not just Buffalo.

Furio sorry if I said that wrong I am agreeing with you and saying that obviously a street gang that is active in Buffalo was not scared to make that bold move..

So the people saying Buffalo is a power house behind the war in Canada and flourishing below the radar seems comical when someone shot someone outside the boss’s place.

Todaro knows faster what happened then the police, but he´s probably in Florida.

Bills mafia. Internal house cleaning.

I read that in Oct.2013, a Terrance Price robbed two La Nova pizzeria's. Four or five La Nova employees chased him while they were being fired upon. They still managed to capture the robber.

La Nova employees seem to have a strong dedication towards the pizzeria they work for.

That’s the scene from the movie real life mafia in Buffalo by the rooster right ?

miss rooster and or arm. but really isnt buffalo small detroit just a warzone???

Here is the Buffalo News article about that: https://buffalonews.com/2013/10/24/robber-at-la-nova-fires-shots-at-his-pursuers/

Its ok Homer. Anyone know what gangs are present in buffalo area?

i think there are not famous gangs like crips or bloods, just some local street gangs based in some shithole over there

Map of Buffalo gangs territories

Bobby Panero’s grandson Louis Prentice Jr. AKA Little Varney (rapper name) was said to run the 10th street gang on Buffalo’s west side.

I don't think the average Blood, Crip or MS 13 gang member gives two fucks about where they would target a rival.

Just not on their radar whether it's a Gambino, Lucheese, Genoveese etc..Territory..that the shooting would.be done on.

It's just not something they care about.
Has nothing to do with the power of the LCN family.

In the last few years ALOT of families have been using gang memb ers to do contract killing work.

With very little to no repercussions from LCN families.

I.E. the Crips carried out hits on the Bonnano family associate ZATOLA, are the Bonnano's looking to go after anyone?

And that guy was a cash cow.

Look at all those Hamilton hits, looks like gang members are the foot soldiers and doing the shooting...

You are talking about the other powerful mob families in nyc that are using gangs to carry out hits and in the Canada war these guys are also being used allegedly by the buffalo mob. So they control them in Canada but they can’t control these gangs in buffalo . That makes sense.

Yall overthinking it...

We saw Cali, arguably a top 2 boss in NY, get killed at his HOUSE, for essentially nothing...

It's so baffling it's actually hard to accept... people are still looking g for a mob angle there....

Seems all the stories have very few details.

Tadaro will not stand for this

Bills mafia 2-0 got the town on there toes. Week after sunday Pats vs bills there both 3-0 . Streets and pizzerias will be coverd in blood

Was down at the local watering hole this evening and word on the street is that Tadaro is “shitting on his wiener” whatever that is supposed to mean

It's an insult is what that means, they dont like Tadaro or dont respect his leadership.

Let me stir the pot a little. Recently I haven’t put my opinion out here as much, but given all the news and articles over the past couple of years I’m beginning to believe the drug activity on the Westside and especially near La Nova is mob related.

First, Buffalo has been rumored to use street gangs for drug distribution in the past.



Second, and this is no proof, just intuition and speculation based on Canadian/UK articles stating the Todaro family is involved in the old Montreal, Hamilton/Buffalo, New York City drug trafficking triangle setup by Bonanno and Magaddino. Several of those articles specifically mention Buffalo. Do these journalists know something? Is the drug trafficking just involve Buffalo’s Canadian faction (the Violi’s) or is it all pet of something bigger?

No proof, but I lead toward bigger and involving the mob in Buffalo on the US side of the border.

If true that the mob in Buffalo is involved in narcotics, I wonder if the trafficking is taking place from Buffalo to Canada like the early 80’s/90’s or if that has reversed. I lean to the latter given the news of the last couple years.

Thoughts?

No clue now days but if there is any activity from Italians the money on the border is and always been very very profitable and just with what regular folks want from Canada is big let alone anything illegal “ big money.
