Afternoon Oddball:

A couple of pizza robbers in Staten Island are feeling pretty stupid right now after making off with the wrong dough! Salvatore LaRosa, 25, and an unidentified accomplice mugged the owners of a pizzeria last June. They demanded one of the shopkeepers hand over a bag, thinking it contained the day's earnings. But when they opened the bag, it didn't contain the dough they were expecting. Instead of cash, it was filled with pizza dough! The crusty criminals made a hasty retreat, but LaRosa finally surrendered to the cops last Friday. D'oh!
