Pepperoni, sausage, or cocaine?

These were allegedly among the options at West End Pizza, a shoe-box-sized pizzeria that authorities say doubled as a carry-out cocaine-sales operation just blocks from the TD Banknorth Garden. Amid the cheese, flour, and toppings behind the counter, authorities say, the employees stashed numerous tiny bags of cocaine for sale.

Beginning in November, State Police conducted a sting operation on the nondescript restaurant, setting up a series of undercover cocaine buys. Police said the pizza place served as both an outlet for sales of small amounts of cocaine and a conduit to the owner's house in Revere, where larger amounts could be procured.

On Thursday, police arrested the owner, Domenic DiCenso, 34, and two employees and uncovered a small arsenal of weapons in DiCenso's home, including machine guns and a silencer.

The bust had faint echoes of the so-called Pizza Connection case in New York City in the mid-1980s, when Mafia families used pizza parlors as fronts for heroin smuggling, resulting in one of the largest organized crime prosecutions in US history.

Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said authorities were examining the possibility of a wider conspiracy in the West End Pizza case.

"Whether or not it's affiliated with any sort of organized crime, a syndicate, or ring has to be developed through further investigation, if at all," Conley said.

DiCenso pleaded not guilty yesterday to a host of drug and weapons charges in Chelsea District Court. Police said the raid at his house on Thursday netted 1.5 kilograms of cocaine, enough for 53 single-ounce sales, stashed in a can filled with coffee grounds, two machine guns, three handguns, and a thick wad of cash.

"The idea that a kilogram of cocaine would be contained inside a coffee can suggests he's not a low-level drug dealer, but a sophisticated high-level drug dealer," said Assistant District Attorney Dean Mazzone. Mazzone said coffee is used to mask the scent of cocaine from drug-sniffing dogs.

A judge set DiCenso's bail at $1 million. His next court date was scheduled for April 25.

DiCenso's lawyer, Jerry Falbo, said his client is innocent.

"There is no evidence that the defendant participated in any of the exchanges," Falbo said. "The defendant never made an exchange or sell of any drugs to any State Police officer."

Two of DiCenso's employees - Jose I. Rivera, 33, of Cambridge and Aldo E. Saravia, 30, of East Boston - both pleaded not guilty yesterday in Boston Municipal Court to multiple charges of distributing cocaine.

The tiny West End Pizza storefront had just enough room for an oven, refrigerator, and a counter with five stools. In November, the controlled buys began and continued through last month, police said.

I hadn't seen this one last year. Matteo Trotto, who survived a hit attempt during the war in the 90's, was indicted on murder charges last year for a 1994 drug related killing. He's been incarcerated the whole time. I think it was Gino Rida who orchestrated his murder attempt.

Crazy thing is, they offered Dom 10 years. He really thought that his case was so erroneous that he stood a fighting chance of beating it. He was a mess, constantly stressing and taking bullshit advice from jailhouse lawyers. I've thought about writing him but I remember he practically never responded to people's mail, just wanted to be left alone. I was with him in Concord and he could not wait to get the hell outta there to atleast a different facility (he was 52A for those who know what that means), but turns out once he got sentenced he ended up staying there and he's there to this day. This is a guy whose supposed to be one of the sharpest guys on the street, and in prison he was like 140 pounds soaking wet, always unshaved, constantly stressing over his case. I swear nothing could go right for the dude

Arson is suspected in an explosion at a North Cambridge pizza shop

yesterday morning in which the shop's owner was killed.

Francesco DiCenzo, 42, of 32 Prince st. in Boston's North End, was dead on

arrival at Cambridge Hospital after the explosion ripped through Franco's

Pizza Sub and Breakfast Shop at 111 Rice st.

Sgt. Joseph Amoroso said an autopsy was scheduled today to determine the cause of DiCenzo's death.

Amoroso said arson was suspected in the 1:20 explosion that spread flames into a beauty shop on the first floor of an adjoining three-story building.

Fire Chief Daniel Regan said the fire's origin seemed "suspicious" and that the smell of gasoline inside the building indicated that arson might have been the cause. Regan also said he believed the pizza shop, located in a residential area, was closed at the time of the incident.

Ten persons were forced to evacuate their apartments in the building next door but were able to return after electrical power was restored.

Regan said the fire was concentrated in the pizza shop's cellar
