Peter Volpe Jr. became one-third owner of Angelo’s Pizza in Wausau in August 2024, when the business took over his frozen pizza company.
Volpe alleges in this complaint that his father held the state permits needed to run the frozen pizza business, but the other owners fired him, leaving Angelo’s without the proper authorizations.
Volpe says he told Johnson and Kurzynski in writing in September 2025 that he wanted out and asked for two years of accounting records and tax returns to start talking about a fair price, according to the complaint filed in Marathon County Court. But, he alleges, they never provided the records or got a valuation, and that he has been shut out of decisions and meetings.
He is asking the court to dissolve the company under court supervision and is seeking a money judgment, punitive damages and attorney fees.
