Video: Rats on Vinny Vincenz Pizza Truck

Posted by Adam Kuban, October 9, 2009 at 11:20 AM

I twitted about it last night pre-newscast, then went to bed. Glad someone got this janky footage of the segment. I never imagined it would be this bad. [Hat tip: Paulie Gee]

"Those are old pizzas" is the initial answer?

Please, no need to fire blanks. That's just bullshit.

Especially because the news mentioned he said they sanitize the truck "every night".

If that's the case, how the eff do you "sanitize" every night and leave behind a stack of day old pizza? Double bullshit.

So, what's the space at the regular Vinny Vee's look like in the nook and crannies? Pizza anyone?

Blech.

I'll be sorry if this is used to smear all vendors, though--which Chuck & Sue seemed close to doing in their intro.

This is bad, but not as disgusting as pineapple on pizza.

And all along I thought it was the water that made NY slices special. I know the taco trucks are clean here, har, har.

I'd still eat Ratty Vincenz over some flavorless slice, as long as I can't taste the rat shit. Besides, rats never really hurt anyone on a large scale since like the mid 1300s. Poor stigmatized animals...

These look like pretty puny rats to me. Are they mice?
