An inspector discovered a roach issue on Lincoln Road and ordered Pizza Tua shut last week.
The discovery was made during an unannounced, routine “food safety inspection.”
Meanwhile, Berta Grill Caribbean Restaurant, on Hollywood Boulevard, was ordered shut for a second time last week for a roach issue as well.
ALL the places mentioned were allowed to re-open following an ordered cleanup and re-inspection.
