The great pandemic pizza pivot is upon us, which is why gourmands might encounter a ranch-and-barbecue sauce pie at a tasting-menu venue, a green chorizo pizza at a heralded Italian spot, or a chimichurri-topped pie at a hip bagel shop. One wouldn’t fault cash-strapped operators for running illegal sports betting rings in the second year of a pandemic, so creative adaptations on a quintessential New York foodstuff shouldn’t feel like too much of a surprise.

A Park Slope Food Co-Op member is raising money to sue the organization, alleging racial discrimination
Park Slope Food Co-Op member Reginald Ferguson has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise $10,000 in order to sue the decades-old, famed Brooklyn grocer over his suspension, alleging racial discrimination,
Brooklyn Paperreports.
Ferguson, who is Black, tells the community newspaper that he was suspended from the co-op following a situation in 2017 in which another member complained about Ferguson’s choice of music while he was working as shift manager. The complaint went in front of the co-op’s “Dispute Resolution Squad,” where another member “backed up the complaint, and took issue with Ferguson’s joyous attitude,” according to the report. Ferguson was eventually suspended over the situation without access to an internal hearing, he says, in a move that goes against the co-op’s disciplinary guidelines.
