Lawrence Persico, son of convicted Colombo family boss Carmine Persico, makes a pizza delivery in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn.
He's a mob prince and a pauper.
In yet another sign of the decline of the Mafia, the son of the boss of the beleaguered Colombo crime family is delivering pies for a Brooklyn pizzeria, the Daily News has learned.
Ex-con Lawrence Persico, 60, the son of Carmine (the Snake) Persico, was observed making deliveries for Mia’s Pizza Shop on 13th Ave. in Dyker Heights on a busy Friday evening this month.
Persico would park his black Nissan Altima on 85th St. near a fire hydrant, walk inside the pizzeria and emerge minutes later carrying a plastic bag of takeout or an insulated bag for carrying pizza boxes.
“My, how the mighty have fallen,” observed a law enforcement official who viewed photos of the pizza bag man taken by The News. “I guess that’s how he gets his dough.”
