The Meatball Mafia

06/17/2026

6 years of slingin pizzas and rolling meatballs in Hilliard! We haven’t raised our meatball prices since that first meatball bowl.
Because of insane beef prices (and the rising costs of, well, everything), we’ll have to raise our prices on those hand made meatballs soon. For now, thank you for 6 years at the Crooked Can and enjoy the pandemic era pricing while it lasts!

Hello Mafiosos! Summer is officially here. The kids are done with school. Celebration at the Station starts this Thursday. Changes are coming to the mafia.
But I’ll take a minute and post about my favorite summer pizza, the Brine! Garlic oil, pickles, and house made ranch🥒
Yes, I understand the Italians of Italy are pi**ed.
No, I do not care what they think, because I’m Italian American🤌

Hello mafiosos! Just wanted to give an update on why we close at 7 on some days and 8 on the others. Currently we have 6 people (who all live in Hilliard) working for a 7 day operation. I’m trying not to overwork them too much. We’re waiting on our college kids to come back as we haven’t had any high school applicants this season (first time since 2021).
Please. Do not give us bad reviews because we closed at the stated time. These reviews last a lifetime.
The kids will be trickling back in the next few weeks and we’ll extend the hours to 8 and 9.
And if you know Heather Lindsay, kindly ask her to delete this review.

Hello Mafiosos. The post I’m about to make brings me great embarrassment as a resident of Hilliard. Recently my staff has experienced abusive behavior from minors ordering from us. Everything from chanting “NO TIP!” to saying directly disgusting things to my staff. Heading into the summer months I want to make it perfectly clear this will NOT be tolerated, and we reserve the right to refuse service to ANYONE we deem to be a prick. Have a conversation with your children about what public behavior is, and what common decency is as well.
Enjoy the weather. Enjoy the pizza.

I was typing an April fools post where I misled you all into believing we were calling it quits and going back to the food truck life. While writing the post it gave me horrendous flashbacks of sweating my meatballs off all summer, and being poor all winter. I couldn’t even joke about it.
Anyhow, happy April fools day. We’ll be extending hours soon!
Parents of Hilliard: if you have a high schooler over the age of 16 who wants a job, we need a couple mafiosos for the summer! Perks of the job are obviously pizza, and they get to say for the rest of their lives their first job was with the Mafia🤌

Yes. This picture is how the meatball mafia started in 2013. You can’t see it, but there’s a bullet hole in the window
