534 N. Fourth Ave.
History: Mainly good and excellent ratings for the last several years until a string of negative inspections last month. A needs-improvement rating Aug. 17 was followed by a failed reinspection Aug. 21 and a brief Health Department shutdown on Aug. 22 when the eatery was declared an “imminent health hazard.” It was allowed to reopen Aug. 23 after fixing problems.
What the inspector saw: Ham, pepperoni, meatballs, cheeses, pizza sauces and other foods stored at unsafe temperatures, indicating a “pattern of noncompliance” since the temperature problem was identified in two previous inspections; handwashing sink inaccessible.
Follow-up: Passed reinspection Aug. 29.
Comments: A request for comment was not returned by deadline.
