Grab a Slice of “Real NY Pizza” in Corona Del Mar
We kind of have an idea what Jun Senoue has been up to of late, what with all the re-released Sonic soundtracks for the hedgehog’s 20th anniversary. But what about the other half of Crush 40?
It turns out Johnny Gioeli has a bit of entrepreneurial spirit in him. Below, we have a video of him speaking at the Taste of Newport expo near Newport Beach, CA this past September. Gioeli is a business partner in Johnny’s Real NY Pizza in Corona Del Mar, and if you’re in the neighborhood, he really wants you to try a slice. The place even has its own Facebook page, though it hasn’t been updated in a while.
There’s no word on if Senoue or the rest of the band have given the place a try.














This is perhaps the greatest thing I have heard about all week.
HOLY FUCK HE’S RIGHT WHERE I LIVE O_O
If I were in the area I’d totally open my heart to a slice or two =P
I’m buying a plane ticket. Right now. To get there.
SO WANT.
You need to live and learn to taste a slice of Pizza. So why don’t you open your heart and show Johnny what you’re made of.
(Yes I just thought of that)
That’s like an hour and a half away for me. I’ll keep that in mind next time I’m up there.
@Blue Wisp
Use ALL of the song titles!
LOL
Does He actually make Pizzas?
…okay? that’s…interesting.
Awsame
It doesn’t matter now what happens, I’m stopping by Johnny’s Real NY Pizza for a slice of authentic New York pizza pie!
The official pizza of Crush 40!
Continue with pizza. Better way for crush 40.
We need a real and professional musicans for sonic. Aka Sonic Colors and Unleashed artists.
@Lucas Because everyone knows that autotuning is real music and that Johnny isn’t already part of a real band.
*obvious sarcasm is obvious
I would drive 1400 miles to get a slice of Mr. Live and Learn’s pizza lol. I want!!!
I live and learn to love this pizza.
I wonder if there will be be a sonic shape or style(chilidogs?) pizza?
I need flight ticket to get there : O
@Lucas
Get out.
Johnny Gioeli is running a pizza place? Well, it’s time to live and learn to open my heart to breaking free of my diet and revvin’ up to Corona Del Mar and is it me or is this everything was meant to be? Well, I know where I’m going for my pizza now!
Next time I go to California, this place will be one of my stops.
Open your booox for a New York PIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YEAHHH. OPEN YOUR BOXXX
Must take a holiday to NY and try some of this pizza
@Lucas
No.
I’m tempted to take a drive up there and try some of their pizza!
Only an hour and a half from here! So going! D<
now he just needs Jun Senoue to visit, and he can sing Sonic songs and scare all of his customers away.
@Cheddly
Ignorance is ignorance.
I don’t speak any music with vocal. Sonic don’t need horrible vocal music. With or without good vocal. (this included sonic boom and t.sonic warriors)
I speak about STAGE music, felling music, classic felling.
Study how awesome is Masato, Yuzo Koshiro, and the new musicans for music in unleashed & colors is…
Not effect guitars with distorcions and more effect. I speak about real music for sonic. Sonic one day fight with mario. Today he lost good part of essence. Sad =/
@Lucas Hinz
You’re don’t know a damn thing about common sense in your posts, do you?
If anyone can pull off a badass Yoda impression, read Lucas’ last post while talking like that little bastard! Hilarity WILL ensue! Wait… Lucas… Yoda… Oh shit! xD
Oh crap, forgot to comment about the pizza! Ol’ Johnny seems really passionate about this gig. If I’m ever down in NY, you can bet I’ll check the place out.
Ya know, I keep seeing people comment about stopping by if they’re in NY: ITS IN CALIFORNIA XD. It’s just “NY Pizza”. Try to read the article closer next time.
Lemme break it down for you: Johnny’s Real NY Pizza is NEAR LOS ANGELES, CA.
There, I finished my rant for the night, signing off.
Yeah I was wondering why everyone is saying they wanna go to New York LOL.
Yeah I want to try some of this pizza
For the record, Newport Beach is a region of Orange County, bordering Los Angeles County to the south. It’s at practically the opposite corner of the country from New York City.
Also, does this mean Jun Senoue lives in southern California now? I’m sure the two of them need to meet in person a lot if they actually are a musical band.
