Martini and Lorenzo Falzetti
The Tortoise Gang runs Pipe Town. They control the coins. They patrol the streets. The Falzetti Boys Pizza Company is the only business still in operation opposing the Tortosies.

If they have to eat a slice or two to power up, sometimes that’s the cost of doing business. Vie for high score and get privileges for being Employee of the Month!
