Beware - Cockroach in Pizza

maliz
By maliz

Yesterday I went to Pizza Hut in Markhiya (Doha) to have dinner with my family. I ordered three large Pizzas (Beef, Chicken & Cheese). The environment in the family section was not that comfortable due to inefficiently working A/Cs. Somehow we managed to bear that environment. However, when we got down to eat, one of my family member realised that there was a cockroach in her cheese pizza. I immediately took that to the manager, who tried to take the food away from me but I managed to capture some snapshots of the roasted cockroach. Realizing the fact, a couple of cutomers immediately left the restaurant.

What about if this cockroach was inside the pizza? What about if this cockroach was camouflaged on beef or chicken pizza. Luckily, it was on cheese pizza & visible on the white background. This unpleasant experience was hard to believe for me. Me & my family members could hardly eat anything until now.

I just wanted to share my experience with all you readers to be careful during outdoor dining. I have attached the snaps of the pizza (not clear due to a mobile camera).

Take care

Regards

Sad to say but with those pictures you can proof nothing. When you taking such a photos for the purpose of proof you must include something that shows the name of the place and at least something else to proof the photos was taken over there. And or witnesses which is not belongs to your family. Let’s order Pizza  they can say that the pizza was ordered to go and the cockroach came here from there house…

Carrefour, Even though the customer service is poor, Because I love the taste I go there very often, But I dunno whether they will change their staff at the counter, because if you observe they give good good reception/response priority wise to the arabs, the europeans and the filipinos,the way they prioritise particularly the comparitively fat filipino women at the counter.

i will never eat pizza anymore. I will cook better steam fish in exchange to pizza.

Thanks for the info, the next time we will not order any more pizza.

If i experience the same thing, i would rather take a photo first before i call the manager or the in charge service crew so i have some proof that someone is bugging my pizza slice.

They didn't charge you for the extra protein topping right, and you didn't see 1/2 a roach, you saw a whole one...hopefully ;)

All kidding aside, I think most of us have a thing for roaches, and I sure wouldn't want to make inspections on too many kitchens in the ME. Just like "look before you leap", look before you bite!

You have to report it to the municipaity. Think that area belongs to Al Rayyan Municipality. They are very strict about such things.

If your statement and the snaps you got are not sufficient evidences, ask them to inspect for the pests inside the premises. But am sure they will do this step automatically.

Reminds me of in the early 80's when the cafe in The Centre was run on a franchise by a well known company. A teacher from Doha College (and he's now at the college on his second stint) ordered a steak sandwich.

When he bit into it, it crunched.

Laying on top of the steak under the bread was a roach.

They did apologise and gave him another steak sandwich

Method To Prepare a Cockroach for Human Consumption :

Take a fresh cockroach ; steal one from the exhibit's in London Zoo's insect house if necessary. Then :

Remove & discard the solid wing covering flaps.

Slice off the head and arse area.

Pull off the legs.

Make an incision along the back of what's left & crack it open down the middle, revealing the fleshy insides.

Place your opened 'roach under a low grill for two minutes.

Artistically present it on a plate (i.e. put a slice of lemon next to it).

Yummy! Use a teaspoon and fingers! It looks like a black olive!

I wonder did you pay for that meal?? I certainly would not have, as cockroaches don't fly it means that they are moving around freely in that kitchen and this should be reported, they move areound in wet and warm areas mostly.

Get the place shut down, imagine how many people may have already eaten this creature. If there was one cockroach on your pizza for sure the kitchen must be breeding ground of the same.. DISGUSTING.. PIZZA HUT now banned in my list of restaurants...

Inform the Municipality - What more than a nice hot & moist room for breeding roaches.. Yeeks..
