A pizza shop's tongue‑in‑cheek slogan 'In Crust We Trust' has sparked a viral row after a Christian customer left a one‑star review branding it 'deeply offensive and disrespectful' – only for the owner to double down with a reply invoking 'Cheesus' instead of offering an apology.

The customer, who praised the food but objected to the wording on the pizza box, said the slogan mocked their faith.
