I ordered 3 pizzas from our local restaurant, a thin crust pepperoni, stuffed crust pepperoni and a Hawaiian pizza. The thin crust tasted weird like moldy or something. 3 of us got really sick, 2 of us have vomited and have diarrhea from it. The only thing... See More I can think of is it was either the cheese, the sauce or the dough. I will no longer be buying pizza from them. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting See Less
