Little Caesars fired two employees after a couple found a swastika made of pepperoni on their pizza
A couple in Ohio was shocked to see that the pizza they’d picked up from Little Caesars had pepperoni decorated in the shape of a reverse swastika. Jason Laska and his wife made the discovery when they brought the pizza home. “We were literally silent for a few moments,” Laska said. “Misty (his wife) asked me if I had ordered it and they had to make it and they gave me that on purpose thinking they were targeting me because they stereotyped me or something.”
They ended up posting the pizza on social media and that’s how it went viral. According to Laska “… wanting to express our anger and show our family and friends what kind of place it (Little Caesars) was.”
Jill Proctor, a Little Caesar Enterprises spokeswoman, released a statement saying the two employees admitted to it and have been fired.
“We have zero tolerance for racism and discrimination in any form,” Proctor said. “We’re deeply disappointed that this happened, as this conduct is completely against our values. We have also reached out to the customer to discuss this personally with him.”
