Pizzeria Owner Pistol Whips Customer For Complaining About Calzone
Joseph Milano, the owner of Goombah's Pizza in Palm Coast, Florida—and no, we're not making up that name—was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after he struck a customer in the face with a gun, then leaped over the counter and began beating up the customer and his roomate. The man had ordered a takeout calzone, and was at the counter asking for a refund because he said the calzone had been prepared incorrectly. Wait, is this a theme restaurant? Update: Yeah, it sorta is: it turns out the owner is a former hitman for the mafia.

It was probably George getting a calzone for Mr. Steinbrenner, who is very particular.
It's the violent video games! They're destroying our children...I mean...our middle-aged men.
Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand? To beat the fuck out of some customers, apparently.
Does this mean they'll be coming out with "Grand Theft Pizza IV?"
From the comments section of the article:
Now there's a owner who takes pride in his product.
This goes to show you that you can't always have it your way....
@nicemarmot617: Haha
I just read an article over a study of the effects of violent video games on kids....Apparently they need to do a study on old men because the article concluded that kids are not affected very much.
Hey pal, this calzone is just a pizza some rookie folded in half!
That's one small whip for a man
One giant whip for Italian-American stereotypes
What a scumbag. Wait, unless the complaint was something like, "Hey Joe! I'm doing your wife! Oh yeah, and calzone SUCKS!"
You don't get a refund for a botched order, you get a replacement. But if you ate the botched one, there is no proof and the store is obligated to do nothing.
Depending on the scamminess of the customer, a pistol whipping might have been necessary.
Hopefully it wasn't loaded. Otherwise he is screwed. Next time use a broom stick.
It's about time someone put these snarky consumerists in line.
Was Joe Pesci with him?
"What do you mean I'm funny, funny how? You think I'm here to amuse you?"
I guess you could say the customer's calzone, was in another castle.
/sounded better in my head
damnit guys! I just got home from the gym and now I REALLY want to order a calzone! Thanks a lot!
Makes sense the customer returned it. Pistol Whip does not belong in a calzone.
@tc4b: Lol, "Hey Joe! I'm your investment broker and I put everything you've got behind some guy who sells the SHAMWOW!"
perhaps a refuge from the witness protection program??
I live in Palm Coast and have been to Goombahs. And let me tell you from experience... There is PLENTY to complain about there. If he reacted this way the first time he got a complaint, this story would have been posted a while ago.
Considering how much people complain about unimportant things, I am kinda glad he did it.
Actually, that'd be a pretty good investment! That guys sells every other product ever produced in the history of man.
@Corporate_guy: For a calzone? I damn well better get a refund, because I'm not waiting through the prep and cooking period a second time, I'm getting dinner elsewhere. Try to fob me off with another round of the same crap, and I'll send Goombah Customer after you.
Ah Florida, source of unending stories about idiots.
@Plates: Reminds me of that Loveline segment "Florida or Germany" where they would read these batshit crazy stories and callers had to guess whether it was in Florida or Germany.
Ah Loveline, a never ending source of wisdom.
I was once served a microwaved calzone. The cook should have been pistol-whipped for microwaving a calzone. It's a crime.
I lived in Palm Coast for a number of years, and this doesn't surprise me. It's a sleepy area with a few golf courses, lots of retired citizens, and a bunch of weirdos.
I count myself along the latter. :P
"the owner of Goombah's Pizza in Palm Coast, Florida-and no, we're not making up that name-"
I admit, I got stuck on the name. Goombah's Pizza? Seriously?!
Although now I want a calzone. :P
that's is sad....but damn it's also lol.
"hi, yeah this is could you please....*WHACK ACROSS THE HEAD*"
what is this world coming too?!?! everyone is just too stressed.
I swear this reminds me of the time Cosenza's Pizza screwed me on my calzone fillings and there was lots of empty space and doughballs. However, I did not complain cause the Italian owner who has to be around 65 or 70 is mean and scary. I just paid for my food and left and never went back. Might be some similar advice in store for the customer's of Goombah's Pizza ;) LOL
