Health department officials in Indianapolis shut down a Little Caesars after a couple found mouse poop in their pizza.
Johnathan McNeil and his girlfriend ordered a pizza to go. On the way home, the girlfriend noticed something wasn’t right with the pizza. They turned around and returned to the franchise location.
“She looked at the pizza and realized there was like doo-doo-looking stuff on the pizza,” McNeil told Fox59.
When they took the pizza into the franchise, employees acted like they had no idea what it was.
“All of them were looking at my pizza dumbfounded as if they didn’t know what’s going on,” said McNeil. “I said, ‘That’s mouse doo-doo on the bottom of my pizza.’”
McNeil ended up calling the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and the Marion County Health Department about the incident.
An emergency inspection was conducted and mouse poop was found throughout the establishment, which forced the health department to close the franchise down.
“We did find that there were rodent droppings and violations that warranted us doing a license suspension,” Janelle Kaufman with the Marion County Health Department told FOX59.
To make matters worse, this very location received four citations since August for having mouse poop.
A couple days later, after cleaning up and cooperating with health department officials, the Little Caesars location was allowed to reopen.

Just looking at the pictures, you can tell that the poop was in the dough when it was rolled out. Look at how the dough baked around the turd nuggets.
And to think, I was craving pizza earlier.

Maybe they were trying to pass it off as a “limited time” topping.
Oh, S***!

We all need extra protein in our diets, right?
So how many people ate some pizza and didn't notice?

Sadly, probably a lot.
1? There's only 7/8 slices. ??

They were probably done with the slice when they noticed a seed-like substance sticking in their teeth.
I'm guessing that wasn't the only mousey pizza they sold.

You must have quite the crystal ball.
Probably not, unless the droppings were 'Hot n Ready.' Bad puns? ?
