In my life time I have worked at many restaurants, and have culinary arts training. Papa Nicks Pizzeria has the worst food handling practice I have ever seen. There are many in-sects, and food sits uncovered alot of the time giving in-sects axcess to the food with ease. I have pulled in-sects out of food! They throw bags of frozen chicken wings on the floor to thaw out, and let them sit there for most of the day. When they are thawed there is a huge puddle of chicken liquid on the floor where the bags sat. The toilet does not work and they have a bucket next to the toilet so you can fill it with water and flush the toilet. It is usually not flushed when you enter the bathroom, and waste builds up untill someone flushes it out. I have seen them take dirty dishes out of the dishwashing sink, and place chicken wings in the sink to thaw out in water. These wings were not in a bag and came in contact with the dirty sink. This is a health hazard! The wings are then partially cooked and placed in a bus tub. These wings may sit out all day in warm temps untill ordered. I have seen these tubs sitting on the floor both in the walk in cooler, and out side of the cooler...uncovered. These tubs are stacked on top of each other, with the bottom of the tub sitting directly on top of the chicken in the lower tub. There are many uncovered containers with food in them on the shelves above leaving the possibility for drippings to cross contaminate the uncovered food below. I have seen rodents, and listened to stories of rodents in the place. In one month of working there, I only came acroee one clean rag for cleaning. People use the same rags over and over untill they are brown with filth. If you want a clean rag, you have to hand wash a dirty one. This is how they save money. The day before the health inspector came it was the biggest cleanup I have wittnessed in a restaurant. They even painted dirty things with white paint to cover up the filth. People say they are paid under the table. Drivers get no hourly pay. They get 13% of sales, plus tips. Employees get no discount on food, but most of the people I worked with were too discusted to eat the food anyway. The two times I ate food, I got sick to my stomach, and was on the toilet with liquid $#!ts shortly after. They seem to hire more drivers then needed. There are usually many drivers in the store so that most of the work gets done for no cost to to Papa Nicks. If the day is slow, the drivers may make $15 in 8 hours of work, and be expected to do work in the store while they are not delivering. This is part of the reason the place is so dirty in the first place. Who wants to do work they dont get paid to do??? I have pictures of every single food handling practice I just talked about. Several of the cooks and the drivers think the place needs to be shut down and is a hazard. This report is true, and made to protect the public from food borne Illness. Pictures are on metromix if you want to see them, but you may not want to see them!! I will never again eat that food ever!\r
