NEW YORK -- The Drug Enforcement Administration seized more than 100 lbs. of crack cocaine, fentanyl and heroin from a Bronx pizzeria. 

Authorities said the drugs found inside Mexzzarella Pizza in Soundview have an estimated street value of $4 million. 

Three men were arrested in the bust on Oct. 19.

"To have over 100 pounds of different types of drugs, to include the lethal drug fentanyl, right on the same premises where they're making food on a regular basis. And this is, again, what is causing the most harm in New York City," said DEA Special Agent In Charge Frank Tarentino. 

Bail was set at $150,000 for two suspects. The other was remanded.

The pizzeria is located across the street from P.S. 69.
