Cyclospora Suspected After Salad - Talarico's Pizzeria West Seattle, Seattle Washington

4718 California Avenue Southwest, Seattle, 98116 Washington, United States

Our family ate here on Saturday, 7/11/26, at around 4:00 PM. My wife and two stepdaughters shared a large Caesar salad. My wife and one stepdaughter also had an Aglio D'Avio pizza slice with arugula. I had an Al Pastor pizza slice with cilantro.

I experienced mild stomach cramps and diarrhea that lasted about a day. However, my wife and both stepdaughters developed much more severe food poisoning symptoms that lasted 2–3 days. As of writing this, my wife is still very ill and is planning to go to the ER because her symptoms have not improved.

For comparison, our son ate a Westside pizza slice (pepperoni and mushrooms only) and has had no symptoms.

We can't say for certain what caused the illness, but since several of us became sick after eating items with leafy greens, we wondered if it could be related to the recent reports of Cyclospora linked to fresh produce. This visit also took place during the West Seattle Summer Fest, when the restaurant was extremely busy. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Stomach Pain, Cramps, Headache
