A fight that broke out early Sunday morning at a Pizza Pizza and posted on YouTube began with a complaint that an order was taking too long, a witness told the Star.

Paul Michael, 23, was at the restaurant when the brawl began at around 2 a.m. He said it started when a woman entered the restaurant on Queen St. E., at Broadview Ave., and complained that her pizza order was late.

“They didn’t call her to tell her it was ready so in the middle of the Pizza Pizza, she started screaming how she wasn’t satisfied,” Michael said.

“She was making this big scene and then someone else said something and one person just started grabbing another. The big thing just started happening when she jumped over the counter and started throwing the chips on the floor. So everything just started going crazy.”

That’s when Michael started recording. The video has been watched almost 10,000 times on YouTube as of early Tuesday afternoon. “Everyone started pushing each other,” he said. “I don’t know how those other people really got involved. I just sat there and filmed the whole event.” Toronto police were called at 3:04 a.m. Const. Caroline de Kloet said one person was charged with public intoxication.

She said there were about 10 people involved in the fight, but there were no criminal charges laid.“At first police weren’t really sure what they were fighting about,” said de Kloet. “It’s difficult to know when there’s this many intoxicated people.”

Michael said after police were called, the group calmed down.

And as for the woman who made the complaint: “She did get the pizza. She was yelling about it as she got it. She ended up throwing it on the floor.”

They’ve been around since 1967, apparently. Can’t speak to how their pizza taste now, as I haven’t lived in ON since ‘92, but when they opened up in Ottawa in the late ‘70s, I found their pizza atrocious. I’m surprised they are still around and surprised that a Pizza Pizza would actually have tables and chairs! They were never ‘eat in’ back then in Ottawa.

A lot of them are eat in on top of their take out and delivery service. The decor is very spartan though. Wood chairs and tables and not much stuff on the walls.

Their menu has expanded a bit beyond pizza as well.

Poutine yes apparently but you would have to do your own stuffing. They don’t follow the lead of Pizza Hut.

Back in the day, telephone exchanges (xxx-XXX-xxxx) we’re assigned by area of a city and we’re not transportable. They used a computer to direct your call into the main number (613-737-1111) to the nearest location. It was quite innovative in it’s day, but would not work now, as phone numbers belong to the individual, not the ‘phone company.

Yeah, that worked quite well at times, but when I ordered a pizza to pick up on the way to work, the store that got the order wasn’t the store I stopped in to get the pizza from.

The entire chain then refused to take my order after that because I was a no-show at one store and a dissatisfied customer at the other, simultaneously.

Good times, good times.
