No context. No beginning. Just a clip, built for outrage, and a comment section full of opinions,\u201d Joey Tomato\u2019s said. \u201cWe are a pizza restaurant. Not a party venue, not a bakery, not a rental hall. &#8230;Every restaurant on this boardwalk has policies that exist for real reasons \u2014 food safety, liability, order in a kitchen running full speed on a summer night. Those policies aren\u2019t up for a public vote just because one moment of enforcing them got recorded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have persevered, one pie at a time, long before this video and long after it\u2019s forgotten,\u201d the statement concluded. \u201cThat\u2019s not going to change. Although we are considering a new tagline: We don\u2019t do cake. We do pizza.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"cutid1\"\/><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The family was celebrating a 5 year old\u2019s birthday at Joey Tomatoes in Point Pleasant Beach. <\/p>\n<p>They bought 4 large pies (different toppings) and 10 large drinks.
