Pie lie

Australia’s labor dispute resolution agency has upheld the firing of a chef by a Brisbane pizza restaurant in May.

The Fair Work Commission’s ruling last week said that Davide Tamburella was late in applying for redress over his dismissal, nine.com.au reports.

His former employer, Elliot Ingram, fired Tamburella for refusing to put pineapple on a pizza, “inappropriate language, dealings with staff, and behavior during service.”

“Australians love pineapple on pizza. I love pineapple — not on pizza,” Tamburella said, adding that the topping was an “insult to his culture,” according to nine.com.au. Tamburella is Italian.

Meanwhile, a customer of a Los Angeles pizzeria demanded a refund for a bad pizza delivered to her.

The customer of Masa of Echo Park named “Dana B” sent the message through the DoorDash delivery app, claiming that she received an inedible pie that was burned, Popular Science (PS) reported.

Attached to the message was a picture of what appeared to be a charred Chicago-style pizza.

“It’s burnt to heck. burnt. black. cant eat it. dont wanna eat cancer…,” the customer wrote in her complaint, according to PS.

Certain that the ordered pizza was boxed in good condition based on the restaurant’s CCTV footage, Masa owner Rhonda Reynolds uploaded the photo to an app called “Is This AI,” which rated the certainty that the picture was faked at 96 percent.

After Reynolds proved that the complaint was bogus, the DoorDash app reversed the automatic refund it had initially given Dana B.
