mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Just imagine what they didnt find!!!!

'dose ah caypurse?

At least the mouse was healthy enough to run.

Those weren't raisins??? OH MY!!!!

This place gets shut down every couple of years for this stuff. They basically refuse to renovate. For the record, it is some of the best pizza on earth. Dom, the old guy, cooks all by himself, no help. This means a slow process, but the food is phenomenal. Never had an issue with the place mainly because, the pizza is made right in front of you and sells so fast its never sitting for more than 3 minutes.

Freshest ingredients youll ever find ona pizza. Dont know what they will do when Dom finally kicks the bucket.

For $5 per slice I'd like to think I'm not getting any mouse turds.

Ferchrissakes, it's not that hard to get a rodent problem under control. That's friggen' nasty. I also like how he's playing the victim AND sluffing it off as a big joke. It really instills confidence. I'll have to remember to avoid that place next time I'm in NYC.

...and some reasoned that a ticket-happy city was simply making an example of their favorite pizzeria.

"It's a symbolic shutdown just to strike fear through everybody else," said Scott Wiener, a Di Fara disciple who leads pizza-tasting tours around the city.

They ARE making an example of it. Because a place that prepares food SHOULD NOT ALLOW A MOUSE PROBLEM TO DEVELOP. I don't care how orgasmic their pizza is, I would never eat at a place where I'm likely to get a side order of hantavirus!

And no pictures of Black people on the wall.

It's not too hard to avoid, it's in farking Midwood.

Maybe they'll clean it.

Those are extra toppings. That'll be $1.50.

I know in my city, it takes quite a bit to shut a place down for more then just a couple of days.

Also....you knew the inspection was coming and you still never got someone else in to work the clean up shift? Thats just insane. I am not sure I want to know just how bad your place usually is.

That's nothing. There are giant rats running around Times Square in broad daylight.

Silver Lining!

What is he supposed to do? New York City is completely overrun with rats, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and other assorted vermin. And that's just Jets fans!

vinnydoz007: Freshest ingredients youll ever find ona pizza...

Yes, I believe that's why they got closed down.

DiFaro is worth the risk.

I'm not familiar with the area but I'm assuming that means it's not smack dab in the middle of rodent central which makes this even more ridiculous.

Even in the middle of Manhattan with a little effort controlling rodents isn't that hard or expensive. Rip off any baseboards, fill any obvious holes with fine steel wool, cover them with sheet aluminum, use expanding foam and/or caulking to seal along the base of the walls, bleach along the bottom of the walls (gets rid of their pheromone trail), replace the baseboards using construction glue sealing them to the wall and floor, set traps, check traps regularly and make sure you f*cking clean often and don't leave food out for any longer than it needs to be. Also invest in sealable containers for everything edible.

You've probably just invested under $50 and spent a day of your time.

This guy's a clown.

FreakinB: It's not exactly in a high-traffic part of the city. Most of the people there probably aren't coming from too far away.

Good. Then I'm not likely to just stumble across it while I'm hungry.

I imagine they just tried to make it look authentic Southern Italian:

Was it this guy?

In fact I've never had to use traps when I've lived by myself. I just did the rodent proofing and basic cleaning and they lost interest. I also don't use poison because then you have rodent sh*t AND poison all over your counters.

Despite what Adams wrote we are the superior species in this fight.

Is special kind of hamster.

If there's anything I've learned about New Yorkers it's that they'll eat anything as long as it tastes good. I'm sure most of the bad stuff burns off in the oven and whatever is left over only adds to the flavor.

I'm a veteran city dweller. Doesn't mean I have to live like I'm in medieval London.

Barf, I ain't going there!

Capers?

Doesn't see what the problem is.

NYC style pizza is awful.
