Lentini Pizza, located at 43-22 43 Ave., has been closed by the NY City Health Dept.
The Dept. cited the following reasons.
Sanitary Violations
1) Raw, cooked or prepared food is adulterated, contaminated, cross-contaminated, or not discarded in accordance with HACCP plan.
2) Live roaches present in facility’s food and/or non-food areas.
3) Facility not vermin proof. Harborage or conditions conducive to attracting vermin to the premises and/or allowing vermin to exist. (see link)
Update
The owner of the pizzeria said the poor result was due to an ongoing issue with the department over the placement of his food preparation license. He said he was treated unfairly.
