Mr. Garlotti

Mr. Garlotti is a fictional character who appeared in the Hogan's Heroes episode, The Pizza Parlor. He was played by Ernest Sarracino.

Mr. Garlotti is an Italian American whose son is a POW at Stalag 13. The owner and chef of a pizza parlor in Newark, New Jersery, he is contacted by Hogan through London with a request to help with the war effort by giving him and his men the recipe for his prized pizza, as part of their campaign to woo the Italian Major Bonacelli over to their side. Mr. Garlotti is happy to oblige, and not only does he share his recipe with Hogan, but also the lyrics of Santa Lucia as well! Both the pizza and the song help Hogan and his men win the Major over, and he promises to visit Mr. Garlotti's establishment once the war is over, and asks Hogan for the recipe.
