Okay, would you believe rodent droppings in the pizza?
This has already been on FARK, but I did want to mention it here: Di Fara Pizza in Brooklyn, home of the $5 slice of cheese pizza, has been temporarily closed by the Health Department.
The city reported the 46-year-old pizzeria at the corner of E. 15th Street, known for it’s drop-dead Sicilian pie, racked up 67 violation points during last week’s inspection and was cited for mouse droppings “throughout the kitchen,” enough to shut the store and require the owner to take a course in food protection.
The owners say the “person who was supposed to come in and clean” wasn’t able to make it. And by the way, Occupy Wall Street caused paperwork delays.
“Is it worth risking rodent-borne illness?” wondered Josh Bauchner, a Di Fara enthusiast. “Certainly.”
(Here’s a classic Marvin Zindler restaurant report from 1999 that includes the phrase that pays. Don’t worry: it shows up at about the 1:50 mark.)
