Bronx Pizza Parlor Delivered Cocaine On the Side

After a ten-month investigation, NYPD narcotics officers busted John's Pizza & Heros on Westchester Avenue in the Bronx on Tuesday, charging six people with participating in cocaine trafficking at the restaurant. According to prosecutors, manager Benigno Burgos and his associates moved hundreds of thousands of dollars of drugs through the joint, with customers coming from as far as Connecticut to pick up their take-out orders, which were actually pizza boxes stuffed with up to $40,000 of cocaine at a time. The place also delivered. Of course, this story calls for some fun wisecracks, which DEA Special Agent-In-Charge John Gilbride has clearly been polishing. He tells the Post, ahem, "This gives a new meaning to the phrase 'slice and a Coke.' " On Tuesday cops also raided four nearby drug supply houses, finding nine kilos of cocaine, four handguns and approximately $20,000 in cash. They discovered the coke stash at Burgos's house hidden under a child's mattress, where no one was ever supposed to find it!
