Score
The health department has logged eight inspections at Pizza City, the earliest from 2022. On Feb 18, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around 12 violations compared to roughly 25 violations earlier on.
When inspectors have written things up, “time/temperature control for safety food cold held” has been the most frequent reason, cited five times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Kenneth City restaurant scores 61. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
