Two Little Caesars employees were fired after a couple in Ohio discovered that the pizza they bought at a Little Caesars store had pepperonis placed on it in the shape of a swastika.
Jason Laska bought the pizza at a Little Caesars store in Brook Park, Ohio over the weekend, only discovering the swastika when he and his wife opened the box later at home.
Misty Laska posted a photo of the pizza on social media, writing: “So my husband stopped at Little Caesars for a quick bite, husband brings this home! I’m truly disappointed. This is truly saddening and disturbing and not funny at all!”
Little Ceasar responded to the incident in a statement, writing that the employees responsible for the swastika were fired immediately and that it has “zero tolerance for racism and discrimination in any form.”

As a matter of fact, he got the swastika backwards. No one ever said that anti-Semites were intelligent.
Absolutely offensive and inappropriate. With that said, I hope the customer of this treif restaurant wasn’t Jewish.
Did they check whether the employees knew it was offensive? Or did they just fire them regardless?
With the last name “Laska,” there’s a good chance they were Jewish, unfortunately.
Absolutely offensive and inappropriate – ordering baser b’chalav from a treif restaurant.
It’s a Buddhist symbol of peace not swastika
Actually this swastika is the right way. Many other (if not most) were drawn backwards.
Did they end up eating the pizza though? Or throw it out?
Thats pretty funny actually
For a first offense, a fine, some Holocaust education (especially if the workers were young) and an opportunity to apologize might have been more productive. Cancel culture is no good.
