The deputy director of the Health Ministry's Haifa district has signed an administrative order to close the Dominos Pizza on Sderot Hanasi in Haifa for 30 days, following a viral video of rats walking on the flour in the pizzeria's kitchen.
The chain said it would close the location until the matter is resolved, while blaming the rats and other pests on development work at the nearby Carmelit mountainside underground railroad station. It claimed it had increased its pesticide regime because of the onslaught and asked the Haifa Municipality to act immediately to help deal with the sanitation problem.
