Sammy Joe's Pizzeria Cafe

I was going to give this place a try until I found this first.. and I am glad I did. I don't like leaving negative reviews but I am getting sick of these places thinking it is acceptable to be filthy and put peoples health at risk just because they are lazy and careless. Decide for yourself after reading this. The same day, the inspector also visited Sammy Joe’s restaurant at Mulberry Grove Plaza. The inspector issued a “stop sale” order after finding a “meatball sitting directly on soiled shelf in reach in cooler in cookline,” according to the report. An employee discarded the meatball. Flying insects were found in the kitchen and were traced to a back door which was open due to a delivery. The presence of insects was noted to a be a repeat violation. There was French toast egg mix at 60 degrees rather than the required 41 degrees. The inspector found packages of pork thawing in a bucket in a mop sink. The inspector also watched as a female employee touched her apron, wiped her face and continued cooking eggs without washing her hands. Meanwhile a male employee touched his pants and continued cooking while wearing gloves that had not been changed. The exterior of a pizza oven was oversoiled with grease buildup and a shelf under a pizza-making table was soiled with debris. There were also cutting boards soiled with debris. The violations at Sammy Joe’s were also serious enough to require a followup inspection
