Pizza Rage: Man Smashes Head Through Glass for Crappy Pie

Apparently, we were all wrong about Eden Pizza in Williamsburg, the weird, late-night joint with the cardboard slices and the brass knuckles. Contrary to popular opinion, their pizza is totally worth flying into a psychotic rage over. Around 3:30 a.m. Sunday, a man impatient over a delay with his pie threw a chair at the store manager and smashed his head through the glass display case. According to the Post's police blotter, Roman Heczko, 31, did about $10,000 in damage, and was arrested for assault, criminal mischief, menacing and harassment. He was treated for his head wound at Woodhull Hospital; sadly, the fate of his pizza remains unclear.

I once did that at DiFara's. They sold 2 pies and were able to pay for the damage.

It's still waiting under the countertop for him. Brush off the broken glass and it's still good.

"He was treated for his head wound at Woodhull Hospital;"

I bet he didn't have health insurance either.

I heard he was admitted to Woodhull for "some coke and a slice".

Maybe with the new health care bill we'll get to see more of these zany antics. Perhaps it will only embolden the crazies?

This guy kept yelling that all he did was throw a slice of pizza against the wall...shitty pizza but for 1.25 you can't complain.

How do they know it was a rage about the pizza? Maybe, just maybe, he had a complaint about the brass knuckles.

How long was the delay?

hecks

does it matter how long it was delayed? its about the principle in making the customer wait at 3:30am for a pie of pizza. I find myself running face first into glass displays more and more often these days. Its the lack of customer service.

detective jarvis

wait are you serious? so your saying that is acceptable behavior to throw a chair and smash a glass showcase with your face all because your pizza is taking too long? is this really what your saying or am i missing the sarcasm in your comment?

hecks

wait, what?

...acceptable behavior? Really? This is NYC and it's 3:30am and I want some pizza. NOW!!! And it had better be hot and it had better be good. ORSOHELPMEGOD. In fact, it's got to better than midday pizza..or, ooooh...you see my face?...see this glass case? SMASH!!

...sarcasm dude. Just juvenile sarcasm.
