The manager of a local pizza place inherits the presidency of a large corporation, a hidden front for the mafia. How will he survive?
It is a comedy, so you must see it at logline. Regardless of all thank you very much!
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."
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.
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.

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.

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.
Hi Anton, this is not a log line, this is what is story about for better understanding. Thank you, I think your log line is a good one!
