The manager of a local pizza place inherits the presidency of a large corporation, a hidden front for the mafia. How will he survive?

Stevan Šerban

It is a comedy, so you must see it at logline. Regardless of all thank you very much!

Debbie Croysdale

Sounds fun. I'd put something like. "A pizza chef and restaurant manager, unwittingly becomes head of an underworld front. Lucky he's a master of his art, and he'd better make sure his new colleagues like their slice."

Kathy Panzella

The manager of a local pizza palace becomes president of a large corporation, a hidden front for the mafia. Comedy ensues as he deftly twists his way through spicy work situations with very hot employees.

Ami Brown

You could do something like this... When a charming (small-town?) pizza chef becomes sole heir to a huge corporation, he soon learns that it's corrupt and the mafia will do anything to oust him.

Anthony Moore

A bit wordy. Have a look at this one: A pizza maker inherits a company only to discover that the position makes him a mob boss and a target.

Stephen Williams

Nice job, Anthony!

At the moment he want to give up, but if he will do this, he risk his life and the life of his family. The point is when he discover the truth, he decided to turn whole business legal! This is the story in tree sentence. What do you think now?

Have you decided to ditch the idea of a logline now? Because that's a synopsis, not a logline. To be honest my version says everything yours does except the bit about his family being in danger. In films about the Mob,it's safe to assume the family of the good guy are going to be in danger so you can probably leave that out. This is a bit longer, but: When a pizza chef who has unexpectedly inherited a multinational company which turns out to be a huge Mafia money laundering scam, he finds himself in a deadly conflict with mobsters who will do anything to stop him turning the business legit.
