Eminently watchable

I saw this under the title THE PIZZA CONNECTION. The main guy runs a pizza restaurant in America, but he ends up returning to Italy to perform a hit due to his gangster connections. This late-stage Italian crime effort was directed by the experienced Damiano Damiani and it's a lot better written than you'd expect for an '80s film, with the same kind of quality feel as a film ten years older. Not exactly a classic, but eminently watchable all the same.
