Joseph Todaro Jr.

Joseph A. "Big Joe" Todaro Jr. (born 1945 or 1946)[1] is an American businessman and the son of Joseph Todaro Sr.[2] Todaro is best known as the owner of La Nova Pizzeria, a popular pizzeria chain in Buffalo, New York and the Western New York region that was founded by his father. Both Todaro Sr. and Todaro Jr. have been accused of holding regional leadership roles in the American Mafia, charges that Todaro Jr. has denied.

In 2017, Canadian court proceedings alleged that Todaro Jr. is the current boss of the Buffalo crime family, a position previously held by his father Todaro Sr.[3][4]
