Pizzeria Owner Gets 10 Years In Jail For Pistol Whipping Complaining Customers
The former owner of a Palm Coast pizzeria accused of attacking customers who complained about their order has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
A Flagler County judge sentenced 42-year-old Joseph Milano on Wednesday. He was convicted in June of possession of a firearm by a felon.
Milano was arrested in January 2009 after he reportedly assaulted and pistol-whipped two men who complained about their calzone order at Goomba’s Pizzeria. Deputies later discovered that Milano is actually Joseph Calco — a former mob hit man turned federal witness.
The gun charge stems from February domestic disturbance call, where a deputy found a gun under his mattress.
Milano acknowledged in court that he wasn’t supposed to have the gun but needed it to protect himself from Mafia enemies.
