We’re all for recycling and saving the planet but the latest viral ‘scandal video’ of a woman cleaning Roman Pizza boxes to be reused for the next unsuspecting customer will make Captain Planet go “Eeeuww”.

Roman’s Pizza said on Thursday that it had launched an investigation following the viral video showing the woman cleaning used pizza boxes at its franchise in Daveyton, in Mayfield Square Shopping Centre.

Causing an uproar in social media, the video shows the woman taking used pizza boxes from a waste plastic bag before giving them a light dusting and putting them back into circulation.

It’s a crime against pizza, we tell you.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Roman’s Pizza, John Nicolakakis, responded to the video by confirming that the event took place at one of the franchise locations in Daveyton, in Mayfield Square Shopping Centre.

Nicolakakis said they have taken measures to address concerns raised by the public following the viral video.

“We want to assure our valued customers and the public that this is not a practice within our brand. We will leave no box unturned to ensure that our high standards are upheld. Our customers’ trust and loyalty are paramount to us, and we are deeply disturbed by this incident.”

“At Roman’s Pizza, we take pride in our customer service and adhere to strict operational protocols to ensure the quality and safety of our products, he said. “We have a zero-tolerance policy towards any behaviour that compromises our brand, products, procedures, and hygiene standards.”

Cool, but this is reason #274 why we only ever order Butler’s Pizza.
