How did the mugger botch the robbery of a Staten Island pizza man? He grabbed the wrong bag of dough, of course.
Salvatore LaRosa, 25, wasn't laughing when he surrendered to the feds on Friday to be charged in what authorities said would have been been a well-planned stickup.
LaRosa and an unidentified accomplice allegedly followed the owners of Brother's Pizzeria home on June 30, 2008. They put on masks and confronted the victims at gunpoint in their driveway, according to a complaint unsealed Monday in Brooklyn Federal Court.
The assailants demanded one of the shopkeepers hand over a bag - thinking it contained the day's proceeds, officials said.
"The bag that was stolen contained pizza dough," Drug Enforcement Administration agent Kristie Osswald stated in the complaint.
Even though it wasn't cash, the robbery victim resisted and was shot twice in the legs.
LaRosa was released Monday on $1 million bail. Defense lawyer James Froccaro declined to comment.
