Two employees were fired. An American couple had the unpleasant surprise of finding a swastika formed of pepperoni on their pizza on Saturday evening.
Jason Laska was returning from his parents when he decided to have pizza on the way home, reported CNN. He then stopped at a Little Caesars pizzeria in Brook Park, located south of Cleveland (Ohio).
Once at home, the couple then discovered the “work” of the employees. “We were silent for a few moments,” Jason told the American media. He then tried, in vain, to join the pizzeria but no one answered. “That’s when we posted on social media, we wanted to express our anger and show our family and friends what kind of place it was (Little Caesars)”.
