One reason a Kendall Domino’s Pizza failed inspection: cheese that had to be trashed

No matter the pizza chowhound preferences — flatbread vs. thin crust vs. chewy, national chains vs. local shops — we all can agree that no pizza place should have wastewater on the floor and food fit to be trashed.

That’s why a Kendall Domino’s Pizza got closed last week after failing state inspection.

Tuesday’s routine inspection at 12225 SW 112th St. turned up 10 total violations, four of which were High Priority. State records say this Domino’s franchise has been licensed since 2008.

The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation inspector found “wastewater from the three-compartment sink and mop sink backing up at the floor drain” at the dishwashing area.

Perhaps this brought up “one dead roach in the floor drain at the three-compartment sink.”

In the pizza station’s reach-in cooler, which should have been keeping food at or under 41 degrees for proper food safety, the shredded cheddar cheese measured 47 degrees, the potato tots were 46 degrees and the cooked pasta measured 50 degrees. All were hit with Stop Sales and thrown in the garbage.

Wiping cloths are supposed to be kept in sanitizer solution between uses, and the sanitizer should be, at most, 200 parts per million. This sanitizer concentration was over 500 parts per million.

This Domino’s, owned by West Miami-Dade’s NSDI Management, was back in business after passing Wednesday’s callback inspection.
