Hakki has been the subject of at least one biographical film due to his story of going from homeless immigrant speaking no English, to being the CEO of an NYC pizza chain with a line of frozen pizzas in over 900 NYC-area grocery stores, inspirational speaker, pizza competition champion, and advocate for the homeless. He's also been the subject of numerous articles in many publications. Much more can be done to expand this article based on the information from those sources.

This article has been besieged by COI and promotional editing, which is unfortunate because the subject is covered in NYT, USA Today, CNN, etc. and a well-written article is certainly possible. But unsourced peacocking is of course a no-go. I removed the notability tag as there is clearly SIGCOV. I also added inline sourcing today and did enough cleanup to justify the removal of the COI tag, but I wanted to see if there are any objections. If not, I will remove that tag as well in a few days.
