Per PIC the pizzas are left out at room temperature for 4 hours (establishment does not have a variance for Time As A Public Health Control) - Provide NSF approved hot hold facilities for all PHF/TCS food products.

Lack of supervision leads to: temperature abuse (bacteria double every 20 minutes), cross-contamination spreading pathogens, sick employees working with food, improper cooking allowing pathogen survival. This single violation enables conditions for major outbreaks.
