Brook Park, Ohio – Two employees were fired after an Ohio couple who bought a pizza in Little Caesars found pepperonis placed to form a backward swastika.
Misty and Jason Laska made the discovery when they opened the box they bought at the store on Saturday night.
Misty Laska posted a photo on Twitter. “I’m really disappointed. This is really sad and disturbing and not funny at all!” she wrote.

The Laskas said they tried to call the store, but were unable to reach anyone.
“The point is, there shouldn’t be this kind of hatred today. In the climate we’re in now, why make a joke like that?” Misty commented to WOIO-TV, a CBS Cleveland affiliate.
“We are trying to solve the hatred, and even if this was just an inside joke for the employees, just stop. Stop with the symbolism and let it go,” Jason Laska told the station.
Little Caesar Enterprises issued a statement to the station, saying, “We have zero tolerance for racism and discrimination in any form, and these franchise store employees were immediately fired. We are deeply disappointed that this has already happened. that this conduct is completely against our values. “
On Sunday, Misty tweeted that she and her husband were being called on the carpet:
