Amato's Pizza Spirals into Shame: Introducing Madanto

I'm sure I'm going to be chastized for this considerably, but I always thought Amato's was overrated. I'm not too sad to see it fade away.

Considering I work down the street from a Mamma's location, I too have a soft spot for them.

It's true, Amato has been franchising lately, so you never know whose decision this "madantos" was.

I happen to know that the owner of the biz underwent some serious personal hardships over the last year, I'm heartbroken to see this poor biz dragged through the mud as much as it is. He really is doing his best, and it's sad it's all worked out this way.

To R who advised that the owner of Amato has been having a 'tough time time this year' and it is sad that his business is being 'dragged through the mud', allow me to point out: No matter how badly you are doing, your employees MUST BE PAID. That is legally and morally imperative. If you cannot pay your staff you must close your business. If you carry on at the expense of miminum wage workers, you deserve to be dragged through the mud. And by the way, I understand that there are actually three owners of Amato who are doing personally very well indeed. It seems to me that they are hardly doing 'their best in a tough time'. Looks more like they found a great new way to make more money - don't pay your staff and then lie about it. I suggest we all go to Pizza Aioli down the street.

It is so amazing to me how people are responding to Amato and i am so proud to have started this all over a year ago when they fired me for owing over $10,000.
Keep up the good fight and stay angry because i was there for over 6 years and i know their "hardships" which are nothing short of not ever having enough money to fulfill their sick ideas of happiness with.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
