Pizza shop serves THC-laced pie, sickening dozens of customers: ‘They get really stoned’

They got zaza on the ‘za.

A Wisconsin pizza parlor accidentally served THC-laced pie to dozens of patrons — causing an outbreak of illness and calls to paramedics.

Famous Yeti’s Pizza, of Stoughton, Wisc., was baking both pies and their customers this week when a cook unwittily grabbed oil infused with Delta-9, a form of THC, from a community kitchen – and used it to make a batch of dough, the Public Health for Madison and Dane County said in a release.

Instead of the munchies, the sauced up victims were hit with dizziness, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate and nausea, according to local health authorities.

Staughton EMS alerted the Public Health for Madison and Dane County that they had received calls and transported dozens of people from Tuesday through Thursday – all who had similar symptoms and all who reported having eaten at Famous Yeti’s, according to WISC-TV.

Yeti’s said in a Facebook post that the groovy oil was mistakenly grabbed from a shared space in their commercial kitchen. The Delta9 infused oil was used to make one batch of dough – which makes up to 60 pizzas which were served to customers over three days.

“They get really stoned,” Cale Ryan, co-owner of Yeti’s, told the Wisconsin State Journal, describing the effects of the pizza on consumers.

“They get intoxicated from the THC, so I think it’s more alarming than anything to feel that way. It’s basically eating an edible, but without knowing,” Ryan told the outlet.

But Ryan took to Facebook to emphasize the severity of the situation.

“In the past few days, we at Famous Yeti’s made a horrendous mistake and in doing so compromised the trust and love that we have spent 12 and half [sic] years building with this amazing town,” the letter addressed to the Stoughton community said.

The letter went on to inform customers that Yeti’s was closed on Friday so that staff could scrub equipment to ensure no THC-oil would contaminate their future batches of dough.

Officials with Public Health say they are still receiving reports of people who got sick and a full tally will be available with a final report, according to the Associated Press. They are still accepting reports from folks who experienced symptoms as a result of eating the tainted grub.

Famous Yeti’s says it has destroyed the contaminated products and is cooperating with investigations from health officials and Stoughton Police, the restaurant said in a statement on Facebook.
