Roaches Found Breeding in Sugar at Snellville Pizza Restaurant

Enzo's Pizza on Highway 78 was re-inspected for a second time. Their permit was not reinstated.

The third time was not the charm for Enzo's Pizza.

The restaurant on Highway 78 in Snellville was forced to close on May 21 after scoring a 53 U with violations including an infestation of cockroaches and inadequate refrigeration.

They were then reinspected on May 30. During that check-up, the investigator found several surfaces were still unclean and the restaurant had not eliminated their roach problem. Several roaches were spotted running throughout the kitchen and even in a hand sanitizer dispenser.
