TOMS RIVER, NEW JERSEY: Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' have spent years attempting to prioritize family, but their pizza-gate crisis may be the final straw. With Joe and his wife Melissa Gorga missing Teresa's wedding to her now-husband Luis Ruelas, maybe owing to the aftermath of their pizza-oven-gone-wrong, the battle may be worse than ever.
Teresa and her brother Joe have had a strained relationship for years, but things have taken a turn for the worse as the impact from one of their most recent clashes has had far-reaching consequences for the family. Teresa, who had been married to her ex-husband Joe Giudice for nearly 20 years, met Luis in 2020 and was engaged to him by 2021. Viewers already know that Melissa and Joe were suspiciously absent at his sister's wedding in August 2022. It's evident that boundaries were crossed between the siblings and their wives after knowing more about the turmoil that occurred before the nuptials and recognizing what drama was still to store for the family. Teresa and Joe's troubled relationship may come to an end as a result of Pizza-gate, the latest in a long line of slights.

Melissa took to Instagram on May 26 to upload a video of herself and Joe showing off their cherished "outdoor pizza oven." In the video, she expresses her passion for pizza and how much she enjoys creating it using their Alfa Nano pizza oven. Joe can be seen bringing a new pizza out of the oven, making fans salivate.

'You’ll always come in second'
Joe, who has been honest with his sister Teresa about his feelings for Luis, approached his prospective brother-in-law with a business plan to sell at-home pizza ovens and provide an ingredient subscription service. While Teresa did not appear to be happy with combining family and business, Luis took Joe up on his offer and committed $250,000 to make it a reality. The business arrangement fell through due to a communication breach, and Luis and Teresa blamed Joe for the failure.
Reacting to the Gorgas' giveaway post, one person commented, "Omg this is unreal. Always competing with Teresa yet you’ll always come in second. Give it a rest." Another person chimed in, "Funny. When you guys went over Louie’s for the first time he had one and made pizzas with the kids. Why do you copy every single thing with your sisters life???? It’s really scary." One person threw a jab at the Gorgas, "So you finally came up with the money or did you con someone else." A fourth user quipped, "Napoleon looks like a little kid making pizza. U can do better Melissa."
On Twitter, 'RHONJ' fans couldn't help but notice how the video came right after Teresa announced her cooking channel on YouTube. One fan tweeted, "This is right after Teresa put up cooking videos. these two are so embarrassing." Another person chimed in, "Funny they did this after Teresa gifted Andy a Skinny Italian Pizza Oven. Always trying one up her. Tell me again they’re not riding on her coattails they wouldn’t have anything they have if they weren’t related to Teresa." One user tweeted, "And she’s leaning on the cold oven shouldn’t it be hot if the pizza just came out of it like they are saying." Another user tweeted, "If they spent this much time creating a legitimate business vs. trolling his sister on social media every day they wouldn’t have all these lawsuits!"
