Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg presented checks to former employees of Grimaldi’s Pizzeria in Flatiron on Tuesday.

An investigation by the Worker Protection Unit in Bragg’s office found 18 employees were owed more than $30,000 in wages after Grimaldi’s wrote paychecks that bounced, made appointments to deliver back pay and never showed up, or failed to pay employees altogether.

“I am humbled to spend some time with these courageous workers who stepped forward after being mistreated criminally by their employer,” Bragg told NY1 exclusively.

After their arrests earlier this year, Grimaldi’s owner Anthony Piscina and Manhattan manager Frank Santora pleaded guilty to attempted scheme to defraud in the first-degree.

This happened after pizza makers, dishwashers and bus boys went to Manhattan prosecutors to report the wage theft. They shared text messages and empty promises from their bosses.

They were sentenced to pay restitution, which allowed for their former employees to finally receive the money they’d been owed.

Bragg told NY1 Grimaldi employees were subjected to “insulting treatment based on national origin.”

“Some of the work conditions that underpin this case are deplorable and they will not be tolerated in Manhattan,” Bragg said.

When NY1 returned to what was the Grimaldi’s Flatiron location on Tuesday, there was a new name outside of the pizzeria. The location is also no longer listed on the Grimaldi’s website.
