New York Pizza, which is not in New York, is out with another strange commercial just in time to be compared to the recent Miller commercial, featuring Sopranos actor Frank Vincent, which was derided for perpetuating Italian stereotypes. In the commercial, we see the stereotypical mafioso type who’s “got other businesses” envision a “Damn Hot” promotion that, in the end, doesn’t go so well.
After surprising a little boy, pleasing dad and shocking mom, New York Pizza’s Rollergirl gets lost, hangs with prostitutes and ultimately gets arrested. At which time our mafioso character concludes, “Eh, bad idea” and realizes all that matters is a “damn tasty pizza and a damn cheap price.”
