Authorities Say Restaurant Owner Assaulted Customer Who Complained

PALM COAST, Fla. -- An angry restaurant owner pistol-whipped and beat a customer who complained his calzone order was incorrect and requested a refund, authorities said.

Goomba's Pizzeria owner Joseph Milano is charged with aggravated assault and battery with a deadly weapon.

According to a police report, security footage from the pizzeria shows that Milano struck Richard Phinney with a gun. He then jumped over a counter and started to assault Phinney and his roommate.

Phinney was taken to a hospital and treated for a head wound.

And who in the hell orders a calzone without cheese or sauce?

[ETL]

I usually order them without sauce, but sometimes have one instead of bread with lasagna. I like ham and cheese calzones best.

Sacrilege!

[ETL]

They didn't order one without cheese. Without cheese it would just be plain dough. They ordered it without feta cheese. Calzones are mostly ricotta and mozzarella.

"Phinney and Capie were having a cookout at their Palm Coast home that night but Capie's 11-year-old daughter didn't like what was on the menu. So the pair ordered her a calzone, just the way she likes it -- no sauce and no feta cheese."

That calzone pic Blam posted in 18 made me sick. He got it from wikipedia. It reminded me of a friend growing up who used to always say he didn't like macaroni and meatballs. I thought he was out of his mind for saying that. After all, made correctly, it's one of the best dishes on Earth. Then one day I discovered why he didn't like it. I had dinner at his house and his mom made it. It was friggin disgusting! She didn't know the first thing about making good sauce. I didn't dare try the meatballs.

Dang... Even the Calzones from Pizza Hut look better than that! (Don’t tease me — there are no real Italian Restaurants where I’m at — at least none I’ve found so far!)

Blam, that calzone in your #18 looks like a manta ray with a head shot wound.

"That calzone pic Blam posted in 18 made me sick."

Sorry.

There weren't any EYE-talians anywhere around here when I was growing up.
In fact, I was probably 16-17 years old before I even heard the word pizza.

I was 19 before I heard the word taco. So....
