Means nothing. I found a roach in a corn muffin in a place that has an A.
Did they make the muffin there? A lot of places get their baked goods from a distributor.
I found a roach in my wonton soup once. The place did have a "C" though and they hid the grade on the side of the wall instead of putting it in the front window.
You can look up any place and see what food safety violations they have and what pests werefound during the inspections. Even places with an "A" have some issues so accept it and move on.
I love pizza as much as the next person, but it bothers me when the pizza guy behind the counter handles money, makes change, and then touches the pizza slice that you're buying to put it into a bag.
I know I'm a bit of a germaphobe, but does this bother you? Also, the same guy might make the pizza, spinning the dough with his hands and also using his hands to put the cheese on. I guess because the pizza is then baked in a hot oven, all the germs are killed, but it still grosses me out a little.
And I don't think that wearing latex gloves helps. Surely the gloves get dirty too!
Welcome to New York. You will be consuming "germs" regardless of the establishment. Four-Five star restaurants some chefs use the same spoon to taste and stir, some cooks sweat in the food etc. that's the risk of eating out. You know what irks me. People who use the bathroom and wash their hands but then use their hands to turn the water off and open the bathroom door? WTF? I guarantee some of your favorite establishments workers do the same.
You need to give your immune system germs to practice on. Pizza boys handling money is the perfect immune system builder. A body that that is fed real NY pizza is ready for ranything. The gluten that holds the piza together is the same gluten that holds together civilization. After practicing on innocuous pizza germs the body is able to handle the heavy duty bacteria and virus' out there. When a strong germ enters the body with bad intentions your immune system will have the proper preparation to destroy that little bastard.
Think about all those poor middle-American suburbanites that spend all of their time in their homes. The American suburban dream is isolated from human contact, isolated from civilization and isolated from germs. If these folks eat pizza it is likely a tasteless American salt pizza like papa johns or domino. Their immune systems never get any practice. This is why isolated suburb consumers –they are the world’s greatest consumers- are all allergic to everything. Their immune systems have nothing to practice on in their isolated lifestyle. So their immune systems is thrown into revolt which leads to the body attacking itself. This explains the rash of allergies in the last 50 years among suburban American consumers. Imagine the horror of a life eating tasteless pizza in a vapid palokaville strip mall only to die in a anaphylactic shock while eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on wonder bread. Be thankful for the NYC pizzaman and forgive his touching of both the money and pizza.

I found a roach floating in an apple martini at a famous bar. I won't name the bar but it was gross. The bartender served it and took it away - "how did that get in there??" he asked very embarrassed.

Hilarious! "The gluten that holds together civilization!"
I think I owe it to my immune system to get a slice at lunchtime. The dirtier the better.

lol, no. I honestly have lived here for years and have never given this even a second thought. Germs are all around us.
The first and last time that I ordered a slice at Di Fara in Brooklyn. The old timer behind the counter did just that, handled the money from another customer and then gave me my slice.

Did you still eat the slice though?

I have no problem with this, so this doesn't bother me. I am actually in favor of building up an immunity system over this. The greatest culinary travesty I've read about in the last few years is the legislation in California of forcing sushi chefs to wear gloves.
Apart from what others are writing about the oven heat killing any germs, pizza shop owners have been doing this forever. I've never been sick from that and don't know of anyone who has.
