I feel the same way. I looked at the review that was posted and I didn't see anything that was really that bad about the pizza place. He kind of blew up a few things, so I can see why the owner would be upset. Of course the owner probably took it too far as well.

As for the review:

He had a big problem with putting the trash cans in the walk-in, but I don't really understand why. I leave my trashcan open and in the kitchen all day everyday. Am I putting myself in danger without realizing?

He found some synthetic pot (but isn't that legal?) along with some insulin needles and came to the conclusion that it was narcotics. I had a chuckle when I imagined some guy shooting up heroin on the job but then getting synthetic pot in lieu of the real deal. I just can't imagine. Did he ever consider that the guy was diabetic?

A walk in is by design a closed air-flow environment. Not sure I'd really like a trashcan sitting in a closed environment with food. I usually avoid putting my garbage in the fridge.

Yes. Hygiene regulations that have to be adhered to in commercial settings prohibit a LOT of stuff you really wouldn't think twice about doing at home. It's all for good reason. Whilst you might be preparing a meal for a healthy 20-something person with a great immune system, restaurants have to cater to EVERYBODY.

That's a fair view.

My view is that I'm sure the garbage gets emptied, and you're left a dirty bin in the fridge. Maybe it's not the cleaniest thing to do.

To me having this guy complain about the (in my opinion) small things he is complaining about makes it obvious there aren't more urgent health concerns with the place. I would definitely eat there.
