A Muslim man from Dearborn is suing Little Caesars for $100 million claiming he was served pepperoni made with pork, which is a food prohibited by Islamic law.
Mohamad Bazzi says he ordered halal pizza twice from a pizza shop on Schaefer in Dearborn. He claims the boxes were labeled “halal,” but the pizzas inside were topped with regular pepperoni.
A Muslim man from Dearborn is suing Little Caesars for $100 million claiming he was served pepperoni made with pork, which is a food prohibited by Islamic law.
Mohamad Bazzi says he ordered halal pizza twice from a pizza shop on Schaefer in Dearborn. He claims the boxes were labeled “halal,” but the pizzas inside were topped with regular pepperoni.
An arrow points to a sign advertising halal pizza.
According to the lawsuit, Bazzi ate the pepperoni without realizing it was pork. The suit includes a copy of a complaint filed with the Dearborn Police Department following the alleged incident.
Halal is the Muslim equivalent of Judaism’s kosher, and requires that meat be prepared according to Islamic guidelines, such as reciting a prayer while the animal is killed. Halal pepperoni is typically made with beef.
Attorney Majed Moughni filed the suit on behalf of Bazzi and other customers whom he says were similarly misled by the business that caters to a large number of Muslim customers by offering “Halal Pepperoni.”
The lawsuit reads, in part:
“Plaintiff, a devote Muslim, brings this class action lawsuit after Defendants LITTLE CAESAR PIZZA, LITTLE CAESAR ENTERPIRESES, INC, DENISE, manager, and other JOHN DOE and JANE DOE, employees sold Pork pepperoni when Plaintiff ordered Halal Pepperoni, a strict violation of Michigan state Law (MCL 750.297f), Wayne County Ordinance, the Wayne County Halal and Kosher Anti-Fraud and Truth-In-Labeling Ordinance (Chapter 159-1), but, most importantly, the Islamic Law that prohibits Muslims from eating Pork! Plaintiff bring this action as the public has a right to know about this fraud that is being perpetrated in the Dearborn, Michigan, the community with the highest concentrations of Muslims in North America.” [View a copy of the lawsuit]
Little Caesars has not yet commented on the lawsuit.
Tell him to stuff it.
Them muzzies have got to get a grip.
I remember when they used to make a good pizza, 40 years ago...
If the Halal tradition is anything like the Kosher tradition, the fact that the restaurant in question even STORED non-Halal meat makes it non-Halal, IMHO.
Go pray for forgiveness and move on. 100 Million for a screw up? Or even if it was intentional? Insane. Go back to the third world
I doubt it’s possible to prepare pork in halal fashion.
Maybe sometimes it’s made with lamb, deer, or chicken....I’m not sure about that.
Aren’t there any Islamic pizzerias in Dearborn or what’s the other one? Hamtramck? But that has ham in in too. Maybe it was Highland Park.
Well, I suppose.
If you REALLY think your salvation rides on it, would YOU take the chance that it was halal?
Heck, I remember as a college freshman in Chicago getting fliers from a garbage restaurant calling itself “Leon’s Plus” (trying to get confused with reputable Leon’s Ribs). The flyer described the take out/delivery joint as “having assembled the finest chefs throughout the world”. Sure enough, tehy had ribs/bbq, Chinese, Italian and “Kosher”, including the Kosher Ham Sandwich. (I am not making this up!)
Lots of Jews who like to be on the winning end of lawsuits in Chicago, and not a one thought to order the “kosher ham sandwich” to discover it wasn’t kosher (not that you could have truly kosher food in a place with such a menu unless it was shipped in prewrapped).
In any event, if you had a serious peanut allergy, and the Dairy Queen the serves the “Peanut Buster Parfait” claimed that there were no peanuts in their banana splits if ordered without nuts, would YOU take the chance?
At very least, settle for a veggie pizza or go to a Halal only restaurant run by a guy who knows what that means. I speak as a former Pizza Hut cook who sometimes had trouble telling the pork rabbit pellet shaped topping from the beef rabbit pellet shaped topping. Some things aren’t worth the gamble.
Does Islam have a forgiveness option? Other than killing some kuffars in holy jihad?
Yes for this, you do penance for eating pork and move on. It’s a minor infraction at best
I didn’t know that. So, not deadly serious like drawing a pic of Mohammad?
A $100M!? Even in Dearbornistan, the grifter will get a new set of clothes, the amount of the pizza and a hi-colonic.
Maybe Uber fare too.

Exactly. They shot themselves in the food for trying to appease. Anyone could see a law suit coming a mile away.
Phone Voice: Uh, I’d like to order a pizza no anchovies.
Nick Danger: No anchovies? You’ve got the wrong man. I spell my name Danger. (click)
No it’s not punishable by death
“According to the lawsuit, Bazzi ate the pepperoni without realizing it was pork.”
Many vicious thoughts come to mind:
1. Oh no, he’s probably gonna die now! Good.
2. What a waste of perfectly good pepperoni.
3. Go to the middle east to get a decent, edible halal pizza, creep.
I could go on, but you get the idea.
“Never mind, I’m just being insensitive...”
LOL! I’m insensitive too.
It’s a set up to impose muslim beliefs on us.
this crap will never end. it will only get worse. every country that takes in muslims drinks their death.
