I am an ex-chef at Mattie Sopranos and I recently quit because I am so uncomfortable serving food to my customers. I am an Italian girl native to New Jersey where the only place that beats our pizza is NYC itself. Matties food is no more ""authentic"" than Dominos. Everything from the jalapeno poppers to the ravioli comes from a bag out of the freezer that Mattie bought at King Soopers and then resells it to you at top dollar. He is so cheap that he dropped a calzone on the floor, and served it to a table so he didnt have to ""waste"" ingredients by making it over. I watched as the family laughed and happily ate their calzone, not even knowing what had happened in the back. His ""vodka sauce"" is simply marinara sauce mixed with alfredo and it is absolutely disgusting. I have never once seen any of the other chefs wash their hands--they eat, squash flies, and pick their noses (no lie) and then rub their dirty hands all over your food. I would NEVER eat Mattie Sopranos pizza, they rarely clean their equipment and there are colonies of ants living behind the pizza station. I have been working in the restaurant industry for over 6 years now and I have never seen anything that was this bad, and I absolutely refuse to be a part of it.
Cons: Violation of health codes, freezer bound food
