You almost always know what to expect when it comes to chain restaurants. This isn’t just what is on the menu but also how clean it is. Unlike stand-alone restaurants or mom-and-pop shops, chain restaurants have specific rules for keeping the restaurant clean. Additionally, safeguards are in place, making it possible for the brand to strip a franchise holder of the business if it doesn’t perform well during health inspections. It is why the vast majority of chain restaurants perform exceptionally during inspections. But not all of them. This includes one Phoenix-area pizza chain restaurant that received a D on its most recent inspection.
On September 9, Domino’s Pizza at 1635 East Baseline Road in Phoenix was visited by the county health department. Of the five other visits on record, this Domino’s location only received one total Priority Violation. However, during the most recent inspection, the restaurant received three Priority Violations at the same time.
A Priority Violation is one that directly contributes to the increased chance of foodborne illness or injury. In addition to the three Priority Violations, the East Baseline Domino’s received three additional Priority Foundation Violations.
