I have never eaten at Antonio's Pizza on Flatbush Ave near Park place and now I certainly never will.
I was passing just in front when a customer came walking out and 2 employees came running after him. One worker was evidently trying to stop the other from chasing the customer. The angry worker was shouting obscenities about Joe Biden and the customer and it really looked like he was going to physically attack the customer if his co-worker had not stopped him.
Apparently, what happened inside was this: the employee was ranting about Biden and then moved on to a number of racist remarks about Kamala and some other Black woman politicians. This was the second visit for this customer where he heard this employee making extremely inappropriate comments. This time, the customer decided not to ignore it. He asked the employee to please stop but the tirade went on so he put his unfinished pizza aside and said he wouldn't be coming back and left. (Having paid for his food, by the way.)

Read moreHUMAN ERRORS HAPPEN; It’s about having respect for your customers and taking responsibility! Pizza arrived flipped all over in the box with a slice missing—I can only imagine what happened to this during transit. My wings were not fully cooked and they sent blue cheese dressing despite me requesting ranch. I attempted to contact the restaurant directly to request a refund or credit to which they denied. They claimed “the chef prepared my food as requested and it was delivered to their standards.” I have now filed a dispute with my credit card company as they refuse to acknowledge...
