Caterinas Pizzeria — Restaurant in New York

I've been to this pizza restaurant many times through the years. It's along my route home sometimes... TLDR, This place is a walking health code violation. It's disgusting and unsanitary. The guys who make the pizza don't wash their hands, at least not often, or I've ever seen them. The same guy who handles the pizza often (like 90%) handles the money and credit cards. The "pizza handler" let's call him, should not be allowed to handle food in any restaurant, period. The amount of cross contamination will make your skin crawl; and then he has the nerve to wear a glove on one hand, and still proceeds to touch everything with it; post oven. Why even bother? If you value your health, don't eat here. The pizza isn't bad, if you don't see how it's handled. But once you do, you can't unsee it.

This is very bad business and extremely disrespectful. Right before this happened to me 1 of the workers blatantly screamed at a elderly woman because she couldn't hear and kept asking for a...

I had no intentions of going to this location for my first choice of eating but, I am glad I did make the right choice. First this is an authentic Italian pizzeria restaurant. Secondly, the pizza slice is superb, big and delicious. Made with great tasting cheese and Marianna sauce. Thirdly the price for an original slice is $2.75. 🫡 If you are in the neighborhood I recommend this pizzeria.

PS. Will return to get pictures to add to this...
