The Death Of The Boss[edit]
It's is sad to report that well known Buffalo businessman Joseph Todaro Sr., known as "Pappa Joe" by his family, friends n all those within the Buffalo community that respected n loved him has passed away after a lengthy illness on December 26, 2012 at the age of 89. Joe Todaro Sr. is the founder n patriarch of the world famous La Nova Pizza n Wings located at 371 West Ferry St. in Buffalo, New York. The original La Nova was begun by Todaro Sr. in North Tonawanda, New York (just outside the Queen City) in 1957 n moved to it's present lication on Buffalo's West Side in 1969. By the mid-1990s Joe Todaro Sr. and his family, which includes his son Joseph Jr. n Jr.'s wife Cookie, their kids Joseph Todaro III n sister Carla turned La Nova into the #1 Independent pizzeria in the United States (with yearly sales of over $25, 000, 000). The Todaro family is well known for their humanitarian n charitable works throughout the Buffalo community n elsewhere. In all truth n actuality, Joseph Todaro Sr. will also be remembered by his other name....Joseph "Leadpipe" Todaro Sr. Todaro Sr., along with his son Joe Jr. have allegedly been longtime members of the American mafia n allegedly headed the Buffalo crime family since the mid-1980s n according to law enforcement they still do. But it must be noted that both Sr. n Jr. have never been convicted of any serious crime or felony related to organized crime activities. The Todaro family name will be remembered for both organized crime (American mafia) n charity related circumstances, but no matter what, Joe Todaro Sr. created an empire....or two, that will be spoken of n envied for a long time to come. He was an old-school Italian-American, who came to live the American dream ...in a BIG WAY, and created a legacy that will live forever in the hearts n minds of those who knew him n those who knew of him!
Our condolences n love go out to his family.
Rest In Peace, Joseph Todaro Sr. 1923 - December 26, 2012
Riposa In Pace!
CENT' ANNI JOE!!!
