On Thursday March 21st, 2019 we posted a call about the owner of Joey Tomato’s in Lacey being assaulted.

It turns out, that despite that being how it was dispatched, this information wasn’t exactly correct.

In fact, Joe, the owner of Tomatoes Pizzeria in Forked River is just fine, and there was no actual “assault” to speak of. And Joe was not even there!

The information we received via the contact form on our page (yes, we read those), stated that there was an altercation between two employees, and it was not an “assault” and that Joe (the owner) was called when it went down.

The owner wasn’t even there at the time of the incident. It was between two employees and Joe (the owner) was called when he heard what was happening. Also, nobody was assaulted. Also, the name of the business is tomatoes pizza, not Joey tomato’s. Please correct this, as we still have people calling asking if he’s ok.

Tomatoe’s Pizzeria

Also of note, is that the name of the restaurant in question is actually Tomatoes Pizzeria and not Joey Tomatoe’s like we had previously reported.
