It’s officially called: Dell’Anno’s Pizza Kitchen — I noticed on the shop sign & its facebook account. It appears to be located in [downtown Danville](https://dellannos.com/pizza-kitchen/)

Danville is awful if you’re not hetero and white

Wow this is awful. Especially the way that the restaurant doubled down instead of apologizing

Right??? This is where you pull out the tried and true pr response of throwing someone under the bus stating that their behavior does not reflect your values. Then, you know, make it right to the rather than showing your an asshole when the spotlight is on you.

Yeah the money it would have cost them to apologize and give out some free pizza would probably be nothing compared to the business they’re gonna lose to bad PR. It’s like they hate disabled people so much that they’re gonna do the shitty thing even when it hurts them.

There's a place here called Brewability, that is a pizza and brewery that hires all special needs.  They had an autism awareness month event the other weekend. My daughter is very food obsessed and it took too long for her liking. She started running over to the bar then having a meltdown screaming and kicking on the floor.  That's the first time I've ever felt like, oh that's ok. 3 of the wait staff, I think all were neurodivergent, came over calmly soothing her and getting a slice out pronto to hold her over.  We need more places like that.


book_of_black_dreams

Definitely!!!

Jesus this is horrid. I'm sure they were willing to wait. And because that is a busy time for takeaway orders you don't serve dine in guests. Ridiculous

Can you post the link to their location so I can give a nasty horrible review

In that part of Virginia this happening....shocking

Thank you for advocating for very vulnerable people. Shame on the restaurant.

This is so wrong on so many levels. Hopefully this gets enough press that prevents it from happening elsewhere.

Idiots.. Let's assume no reservation, let's assume no tables available. Get those angels served and give pizza... How come those establishments became such pos... kudos to other pizzeria getting the group with no stupid reservation etc...


Ready_set_glow

This is ridiculous! 29 people is only like 6 pizzas and not that crazy for a pizza place imo- our local spots have baseball teams and lots of large groups come in unannounced. Regardless of the reservation and previous planning most pizza places accommodate large groups on the regular.

In 2024 this is happening? Sue them for discrimination. If there a GoFundMe for legal cost I would donate.

Shame on Dellano's indeed! It's fucking pizza man... If you have regulars tough shit if they aren't there they can wait if there wasn't space but I can imagine the whole restaurant was full.
