Slow news day today guys.
But luckily for you, the reader, we have somerivetingMiami Springs local pizzeria drama that must be covered.
The restaurant in question, the protagonist of this story, is Roman’s Pizzeria in Miami Springs.
Owned by Jesus Roman.
Once reviewed by Dave Portnoy.
Hence the Dave Portnoy clickbait thumbnail.
The villain is a man named Jose Marti-Alvarez, owner and operator of restaurant/scam Roman Cuisine Pizzeria.
After an extensive amount of research.
Three articles read and one news segment watched.
I’ve concluded thatMr.Senor Jose Marti-Alvarez is a shady guy.
I think he’s most likely a bad guy.
But when you look at the details of what happened.
I have to think that any halfway decent lawyer is going to be able to get Jose off here.
The popular pizza spot in Miami Springs is calledRoman’s Pizzeria(real flyer pictured below).
Jose distributed his menu flyers to hotels under the nameRoman Cuisine Pizzeria(Jose’s flyer pictured below).
The flyers are hardly similar.
But let’s be honest.
“Roman” is hardly a unique word in the pizza scene.
There must be thousands of Roman Pizzas across the United States.
“Roman style pizza” is a thing in it’s own right.
They’re pretty clearly 2 different places.
On top of that, the phone numbers are obviously different.
It’s not like Jose paid for a phone number a couple digits off the real Roman’s Pizzeria.
Note both logos have mustaches.
Nobody blamed Pizza by Alfredo when Michael Scott ordered their shitty pies instead of ordering Alfredo’s Pizza Cafe.
Much like Michael Scott, the people who ordered from Roman Cuisine Pizzeria were idiots.
Imagine ordering from a brand new pizza restaurant without first checking it’s One Bite Pizza Review score.
7.4
I’m not defending what Jose did.
He didn’t deserve that.
“That’s how we found out that all these things were going on,” Roman said.
“Sometimes they call on the phone or sometimes they show up here very upset.
“Marti-Alvarez allegedly delivered food that was undercooked, incorrect or fraudulently priced.
There’s also a part I may be missing from the story.
But I’m not sure what it was like a year ago.
I don’t even think Jose is Roman.
I bet he’s never even been to Rome.
I also wonder if posing as Roman’s Pizzeria was even necessary for Jose’s shitty pizza grift.
He probably could have named it anything and still gotten orders.
I would hate to get Pizza by Alfredo-ed.”
I’m not defending Jose’s actions.
Him being convicted of this crime would be justice served.
I just don’t know if what he did isactuallyillegal.
There’s nowhere I see where he actually claims to be the other restaurant.
Always double check the name of the restaurant you’re ordering from.
It’s not that hard.
