"Hey, could I get another pepperoni over here?" Bloomberg asked owner Antonio Benito.
"I'm sorry sir," he replied, "we can't do that. You've reached your personal slice limit."
Stop and Tisk
Mayor Bloomberg, not accustomed to being challenged, assumed that the owner was joking.
"OK, that's funny," he remarked, "because of the soda thing ... No come on. I'm not kidding. I haven't eaten all morning, just send over another pepperoni."
"I'm sorry sir. We're serious," Benito insisted. "We've decided that eating more than one piece isn't healthy for you, and so we're forbidding you from doing it.
Bloomberg starts cussing after this part of the exchange, so there is profanity in the article. And this exchange pretty much tells you all you need to know about Bloomie.
Not that I'd ever go to NYC.....but if I did....this restaurant is where I'd go for pizza.

I should have paid more attention. They got me. I should have been suspicious at the whole notion that any of the helots in NYC would challenge Boomie.

I see that others have caught on. The story was pretty realistic, but the headlines off to the side gave it away.

Yeah, unfortunately it wasn't until I went back and looked that I noticed the sidebars. I guess I just wanted to believe.

Scary that I fond this story just as believable as the original story of him trying to limit the size of soft drinks.
