Boston Blotter: Just Ask for "Extra Parm"

pizza.jpg--More news emerged about West End Pizza, which served up cocaine, guns, and pizza. Police held a news conference showing everything they discovered inside the pizza shack and the owner's home in Revere, including machine guns with silencers. Did they deliver? Those are delivery guys you do not want to mess with! Police also discovered cocaine hidden in a tomato sauce can.

The Globe described West End Pizza, which is near TD Banknorth: "The tiny West End Pizza storefront had just enough room for an oven, refrigerator, and a counter with five stools."

The pizza place also served as a party spot, much to the chagrin of police officers: "On Dec. 3, a Boston police officer passing by noticed a raucous party underway, with two women gyrating on the counter while several men boogied away on the restaurant floor." Wow - once they broke the "no-boogie" law, there was no going back.

Since the owner was the son of what the Herald says is a "reputed mob boss," the police are probably quite happy right now.

Has anyone reading this post actually eaten at West End Pizza? How was it? Did you feel unusually hyper, awake, and confident afterward? Or did you bite into a shell casing? Let us know!

--No more triples! After two triple stabbings, a triple shooting unfolded last night in Roxbury. No one died, but a bullet struck a baby in the leg. The shooter or shooters are still on the loose.

--This isn't quite blotter material, but it fits in with yesterday's theme of contaminated water. If you know anyone in Woburn, tell them not to drink the water. E. Coli was found in it.

--Oh, and Bobby Brown refuses to vacate the blotter. His story just will not end. After a radio station kindly paid his child support, Brown refused to grant them an interview. According to WHDH, "The station and Brown's attorney mutually decided the deal was not in Brown's best interest and that Brown would return the money." Well, given his previous inability to pay off past obligations, the radio station shouldn’t expect that money anytime soon.

    The info. in this article is false. The owner, Domenic was NOT having his workers sell drugs out of the shop. They were doing it on their own. After buying from the workers, the cops got a warrant to search the owner's house. But he was never involved nor aware that his workers were selling little bags out of the shop. And the pizza was great. It had that awesome thin soft crust.

    I've stopped in there numerous times after going to the Harp or Hurricane O'Reily's. Its great pizza when you are drunk! There is usually a line too late night...now I know the real reason

    I stopped in there for a slice a 5 or 6 times on my way to Celtics games. The pizza was decent, not fantastic, but a better deal than the place down the street on Causeway. I got an odd vibe from some of the other customers, thought the place might be a front for a sports book operation. I stopped going as a result. An odd location, very small. Hard to imagine 18 people crammed in there for a dance party.

    Great pizza, friendly atmosphere. I ate lunch at the counter one day, and the guy working there asked me to keep an eye on the place while he made a delivery down the street. By the way, I'm proud to be on the clean side for this stat (from the Herald):

    "For every one or two customers that came in for a slice, eight or 10 came in for cocaine."
