Stolen Dough captures very well the profound sense of betrayal and injustice experienced by Mongiello, This Documentary presents a stark reminder of the power imbalances in the corporate world. Legal battles of this nature not only take a financial toll on the "little guy" but are emotional as well.
Mongiello and his family deserve to be recognized and valued for this creation/recipe and hopefully this film ends up helping them towards receiving that.
I wasn't expecting to be so emotionally invested in this documentary. Intellectual property theft probably happens more often than we hear about and the lengths to which corporations will go to protest their own interest is so frustrating. Anyone that is concerned with fairness and justice, Stolen Dough is a must watch.

I truly enjoyed this film for many reasons! The film was well done and made me feel sincere compassion for the main character. I laughed and cried as i watched this story unfold. A heart felt, true story of how a young American man that was robbed of his idea and not compensated by a massive food conglomerate. The real-life situations this film identifies are probably not as uncommon as the average person would believe. Many people feel robbed at some point in their life and this film hits home for those people. This film is as educational as it is entertaining to watch. Stolen Dough is on my must watch again and again list.
This film truly is touching, beautiful, emotional and such an experience to watch. I am so glad to know the true story of who invented Stuffed Crust Pizza and so sad to see what Anthony went through, yet so happy to see who he made himself to be. A must watch, true story, made with love.. you can tell! It was such a great experience to watch this film. I felt like I was living it with him. A story that will leave a mark in the food history books! The producers did a fantastic job on creating this movie.
I can watch it over and over again and not be bored!!! Had me on my toes the whole time!! Love this film!

I was really pleased to see this film when I was in Houston, Texas at the Houston International Film Festival. I had no idea the background of Anthony Mongiello and his lawsuit against Pizza Hut. This film was very compelling, like a deep, underworld crime drama. I was happy I came across this accidentally during Houston International Film Festival large schedule. On the final day, when they run the films again, I brought my friend Erik to see the film with me, and he loved it. At first we were expecting this film to be sort of a comedy documentary but it couldn't have been further from that. It felt more like a who done it crime drama, and you could clearly see the influence of Italian American film directors like Scorsese in Stolen Dough opening minute. It's the best crime film I ve seen all year. An emotional and gripping film.
Stolen Dough brings to light a deeply upsetting case of corporate greed. It's heartbreaking that this young Italian American investor was not given proper credit. Wish we heard of this sooner as we have enjoyed way too many Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizzas. After watching this documentary we researched Anthony Mongiello online and found a tutorial he had on how to make the perfect stuffed crust pizza at home. We did it and let me tell you he definitely knows what he is talking about! It was delicious!
Sorry for Monticello's struggle against a corporate behemoth.
A great documentary! This is a film my husband and I highly recommend.
