Who We Serve
THE 3 B’S: BANDS, BRANDS & BUSINESSES
We cater to ALL, but the Three Bees are our Bread and Butter.
Bands
FAT ENZO is owned and operated by people who love music and support the scene that gives our lives so much joy. We are artist driven and strive to provide the best merchandise for touring bands. If you have an act and you tour or sling mp3’s online, we would appreciate the opportunity to help re-stock your inventory.
Brands
Your home for contract screen printing, FAT ENZO facilitates garment decoration, tagging, folding, bagging and product fulfillment for streetwear and lifestyle brands up and down the eastern seaboard, from concept to creation. We can drop-ship from our factory to anywhere in the United States. Send us your Mockups and Pantone Numbers and let us get to work!
Businesses
If you need custom shirts, caps, polos or uniforms to help market your trade or company, look no further than FAT ENZO. Our Graphic Artists are skilled Logo Creators and our Laborers are skilled tradesmen, yielding a quality that will be admired by your competitors. We can even help you build a website as beautiful as this one.
Custom Campaign Gear
If you are a Candidate for Public Office or Member of a Political Action Committee, there is a strong likelihood that you are going to enjoy working with FAT ENZO on your next project. Regardless of where your ideologies land on the political spectrum, FAT ENZO reserves our God-given, Constitutional Right to honor your Freedom of Speech. This is our promise. You can entrust FAT ENZO with clothing your campaign.
POLITICIANS & PUBLIC FIGURES
FAT ENZO is a creative brigade of independent thinkers driven by bold design, unorthodox marketing, and a masterful use of language. We’re not afraid to challenge convention — our work speaks with unapologetic clarity, style, and wit.
About Our Logo
What Makes a Great Logo?
Our logo is reminiscent of the Nike Swoosh or the McDonald’s Golden Arches. All the great logos share these resemblances: elegance and simplicity. When you see the silhouette of a once-bitten apple, it’s not a biblical reference — someone just wants to sell you a computer. Our logo signifies Custom T-SHIrTS. So, from now on, when you see the sharp silhouette of a portly pup pooping out a T-SHIrT, only one name should cross your mind: FAT ENZO.
About Our Founders
“WE CAN PRINT ANYTHING BUT MONEY.” — Piazza
FAT ENZO was incorporated on January 9th 2009; therefore, we have been in business for over 91 dog-years. The four rockstars below are the creative creatures behind our success.
Robert Vincent Piccirillo
Robert Vincent Piccirillo aka RVP, our CEO, is also a Podcaster when he’s not peddling T-SHIrTS. RVP has a B.A. in English from the University of Florida. He’s an Aries. He has ridiculous tattoos that landed him on the TLC Reality Show, “America’s Worst Tattoos.” And, Jim Carrey stole his name.
Matthew Anthony Piazza
Matthew Anthony Piazza, also known solely as “Piazza,” was our CCO, but unfortunately he passed away unexpectedly in 2019. His concepts and quips have become a staple throughout FAT ENZO subculture. He conceptualized many of our brands and designs. He was a Creative Genius. Best Person.
Gio “Mom” Iannotti
Joan Karen Iannotti aka Gio, also known as “Mom,” was our CFO, but in 2021 she lost her battle with breast cancer. She tirelessly juggled working on our books while simultaneously authoring Sci-Fi Novels. We would not be a real business today, if it were not for the sacrifices she made for us yesterday. Mom’s efforts are much appreciated and she will forever be missed.
ENZO
Enzo Piccirillo aka FAT ENZO, also know as “Fatty” or “Mr. Enzo,” was a yellowish, canine mutt (exact origin unknown) on the verge of certain obesity. Fatty is our brand ambassador: the inspiration behind our logo and the namesake of our company. Mr. Enzo died in the SweatShop of natural causes at the age of fourteen on the evening of November 22nd 20217, the anniversary of the JFK Assassination.
Around the Sweatshop
“WE CALL IT A ‘SWEATSHOP’ BECAUSE WE WORK HARD SO WE PERSPIRE.” — Piazza

făt en-zoh (n.)
We are a patriotic brigade of free thinkers, known for expressive design, gonzo-style marketing, and a sharp command of language — even if our tone occasionally ruffles feathers. Our work is unapologetically bold, intentionally provocative, and always rooted in creativity and craft.
Our mascot? A yellow-tinged, questionably pure mutt of mysterious origin — charmingly overweight and wildly loyal. This slightly obese canine is believed to bring good luck and serves as the unofficial (but beloved) spokesperson of the FAT ENZO brand.
