In addition to having just been announced as one of the Second Stage acts on Ozzfest 2010, KATAKLYSM frontman Maurizio Iacono has been keeping busy with another business venture: opening a pizzeria. States Iacono:
В
“Growing up in an Italian family, you always know someone that owns a pizza joint.В My father was a head chef in New York, so I kind of grew up with it as well. I chose the path of music, but somehow the restaurant business has come to find me.В
“I’ve decided to open a pizzeria with a very good friend of mine, Saverio Donancricchia. His family has been in the pizza business for over 20 years in Chicago with Albano’s Pizzeria in Cicero. They’ve ranked as a Top 10 Chowdown Joints on вЂTop 101 Places in America’ by The Travel Channel, so needless to say, opening the #2 location has been keeping us very busy!!!В We like to welcome all metalheads to come by Albano’s Pizzeria #2 and try our world famous giant pizza puffs! Bring in your Chicago-area concert ticket for any national tour and receive a discount on your order. Looking forward to unleashing the new KATAKLYSM album plus all the killer tours coming up with both KATAKLYSM and EX DEO.”
