'Mouldy pizza bases' found in 'filthy' Leeds takeaway given one star hygiene rating

“Mouldy pizza bases” were found in a “filthy and mouldy” Leeds pizza parlour which was given a one-star food hygiene rating.

The inspector gave Moji’s Pizzeria in Wetherby the second-lowest rating possible before instant closure. A one-star rating means major improvements are necessary.

But the owner Medi Neshat, who’s owned the takeaway on Castle Gate for 29 years, has hit back at the inspector who was working on behalf of Leeds City Council. He’s said the damning rating was “nothing to do with hygiene,” blaming the rating on lack of paperwork which was due to him suffering a serious accident.
