MPAA RATING: Not Rated

Starring Vincent Pastore, Frank Vincent, Robin Paul, Conor Dubin, and Patti D'Arbanville

The Bianco and the Rossi families of Yonkers have been feuding for years - over pizza! Those who prefer a tangy sauce go to Rossi's; those who like their crust thin and crispy go to Bianco's. When young Angela Rossi, armed with a newly minted associates degree in marketing from New York's Fashion Institute, tries to help her father put the Biancos out of business, pizza detente goes out the window. And when doodle artist Tony Bianco agrees to help his father steal the secret of the Rossi's sauce to win the neighborhood pizza contest, pizza war - and a little star-crossed loving - follow.

Variety Ronnie Scheib

In scope, depth, rhythm and gags, "Pizzas" seems best suited to the small screen.

TV Guide Ken Fox

Sassone's hit-and-miss ethnic comedy is actually a retelling of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, with the Italian neighborhood of South Yonkers, N.Y., standing in for Verona.

Village Voice Matt Singer

Writer-director Vincent Sassone makes your mouth water with his lovingly photographed images of freshly baked pizza but turns your stomach with extra-cheesy dialogue and an inconsistent narrative.

The New York Times Janet Maslin

The film borrows themes and cast members from HBO's "Sopranos," but the script lacks the nuance and wit of that series's creator, David Chase.

New York Post Lou Lumenick

Any way you slice it, A Tale of Two Pizzas is so ineptly written and directed that it's pretty soggy entertainment.

The average user rating for this movie is 5.5 (out of 10) based on 2 User Votes

Justin E. gave it a1:
Fuggetabout it. Not worth the celluloid its released on. Amateurish attempt at film making.. Idiotic plot,bad directing, and amateruish pseudo italian music-(Sounds like a track produced by an expert in yiddish music, not italian .)
