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.

Jury Award at the Houston International Film Festival

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.
Wow!!

Great, Great,Great!
I had NO idea this happened, this is a true david & Goliath story, except Goliath won ,how & why is the big question, it should have been a cut/dry case, or make a fair offer, so that this man can live his american dream, instead of stealing it. I did a little research on Anthony, and I think in the end he did get a piece of the pie, he made a success out of himself and has a very successful Fresh Mozzarella company, called FORMAGGIO which I have seen on the supermarket and club store shelves, and have had it at family gatherings and have enjoyed it, now that I know some history about it and it's not some conglomerate of a corporation, and was built with a Vision, blood, sweat and tears I will support the brand!!!

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!

Saw This Film At DOC LA Film Festival.
cannesmoon5 January 2024
I was in the audience for the DOC LA Festival and was amazed at how dark, and moody this film is. The audience was expecting this film to be a parody but in about 5 mins they sure found out this was going to be more rock n roll and personal and dark. I love how the director was able to draw the audience into Anthony Mongiello's personal story. I felt very close to all the characters in the film. An incredible Crime Docudrama, Most Importantly, the music from the film does an excellent job of setting you back in the era of the 1980's and 1990's so you feel transported through that time era. I was very impressed with the filming and the cinematography. I highly recommend this film.
Never eating Pizza Hut again! (As if I ever did)

Warning: Spoilers
I watched this documentary on a whim, and I was honestly very touched by it. The director did a great job and you can tell he feels very passionate about the story of Anthony taking on Pizza Hut. The only gripe I had with it was the repetitive rewind effect, but besides that...it was an outstanding watch.
Spoiler alert !!! It is such a shame that the inventor never got justice for his genuine creativity and contribution. It just goes to show that big corporations truly run this country and will do anything to get their way regardless of the cost.
I am curious to know if this case can be reopened so that Anthony could get his recognition?
