A Pittsburgh pizzeria has been ordered to closed after over 15 violations, including three considered “high-risk”.

The Allegheny County Health Department says Paisano’s Restaurant & Pizzeria on East Warrington Avenue in Allentown has an active sewage backup along with “insufficient plumbing” along with other violations.

Those include an ice machine in the basement affected by a sewage backup also affecting three out of four floor drains, a meat slicer with food from the previous day dried on it and mouse droppings found in the kitchen and basement.

The location is also operating without a valid health permit. The previous one expired last June.

The closure remains active on the Health Department’s website. Any updates can be found here.
