A fight that broke out early Sunday morning at a Pizza Pizza and posted on YouTube began with a complaint that an order was taking too long, a witness told the Star.

Paul Michael, 23, was at the restaurant when the brawl began at around 2 a.m. He said it started when a woman entered the restaurant on Queen St. E., at Broadview Ave., and complained that her pizza order was late.

“They didn’t call her to tell her it was ready so in the middle of the Pizza Pizza, she started screaming how she wasn’t satisfied,” Michael said.

“She was making this big scene and then someone else said something and one person just started grabbing another. The big thing just started happening when she jumped over the counter and started throwing the chips on the floor. So everything just started going crazy.”

That’s when Michael started recording. The video has been watched almost 10,000 times on YouTube as of early Tuesday afternoon. “Everyone started pushing each other,” he said. “I don’t know how those other people really got involved. I just sat there and filmed the whole event.” Toronto police were called at 3:04 a.m. Const. Caroline de Kloet said one person was charged with public intoxication.

She said there were about 10 people involved in the fight, but there were no criminal charges laid.“At first police weren’t really sure what they were fighting about,” said de Kloet. “It’s difficult to know when there’s this many intoxicated people.”

Michael said after police were called, the group calmed down.

And as for the woman who made the complaint: “She did get the pizza. She was yelling about it as she got it. She ended up throwing it on the floor.”

Has Little Caesar’s sued yet for the appropriation of their theme Pizza, Pizza?

The secret to owning a successful restaurant is to make sure your place closes for the night before Bar Closing Time.

I’m wondering if this is a Canadian division of the company?

Why can’t they do their fighting at Waffle House, like decent people do?

Actually Little Caesar's is barred from using the tagline "Pizza, Pizza!" in Canada because this other chain owns the rights to it there. In their Canadian ads Little Caesar says "Hot n' Ready!"

Because there is no Waffle House in Toronto. This calls for improvisation.
