A rough Tuesday on Broadwell Road

Vintage Pizzeria's Crabapple location, a 99-point A kitchen as recently as January, took a 79 (C) on its July 7 state inspection. The three citations were the unglamorous kind: prepared salad touching loose lettuce, one reach-in cooler running a few degrees warm, and salmon thawing still in its vacuum seal. All three were fixed before the inspector left, the affected food was tossed, and none were repeats.

“Our prior scores are reflective of the seriousness with which Vintage Pizzeria takes food handling,” general manager Susan Willis told The Roundabout. A re-inspection is due within ten days, and they expect a score “consistent with our previous scores.” We'll print that number when it posts, whatever it says. (Full report; Georgia grades run A 90–100 down to C 70–79.) Disclosure: plenty of us at The Roundabout are regulars.

Health Scores Watch runs whenever a Milton kitchen's inspection is worth your attention: full context every time, A's included.
