Pizzeria continues top rating streak

One local pizzeria continued its streak of “excellent” ratings from the Pinal County Health Department this week. 

After opening earlier this year, Dell’s Pizza & Wings Express started a streak of earning an excellent rating from the county inspectors. This most recent report shows it’s now two for two, following the first flawless report earned five months ago. 

Inspectors visited seven eateries in the city from Oct. 19 to Nov. 1 and the majority were given flawless marks. But another pizzeria didn’t fare so well after inspectors found cockroaches inside. 

This report has one fewer “satisfactory” rating than our previous report that spanned Oct. 6 to 18.
