Apparently nature was calling the Nature Boy and the kitchen manager was taking forever doing whatever he was doing and Rick Flair got upset. The manager kicked him out of the place. I have not been to this Piesano's, but I would think a restaurant would have multiple stalls, so not sure what the kitchen manager was doing that took so long. Flair said he spent $1500 and got kicked out for being upset at the kitchen manager.
WWE legend and Hall of Famer Ric Flair created quite a stir on social media over the weekend after he bashed a Gainesville restaurant while in town to attend a University of Florida graduation ceremony.
Flair, 75, and family members were dining at the Piesanos Stone Fired Pizza restaurant at 1250 W. University Ave. when the professional wrestler apparently was asked to leave. He advised his more than 2 million followers to avoid the restaurant on their next visit to Gainesville.
"I Spent $1500 At Piesano's Stone Fired Pizza To Be Disrespected More Than I Ever Have In My Entire Life. After Taking 20 Pictures With Customers And Staff, I Was Asked To Leave Because Of An Issue I Had With The Kitchen Manager Taking Too Long In The Bathroom. I Would Highly Recommend That Anyone Who Wants To Enjoy A Relaxing Time In Gainesville At A Nice Restaurant To Never Visit This Place! WOOOOO!"
Piesanos co-owner Jerry Roberts, when reached Monday by The Sun, said the "evidence was clear" but declined to offer an explanation as to why Flair was asked to leave the restaurant. He then sent a prepared statement via text message.
"We have reviewed video of the incident that took place recently at our restaurant. It is clear, our team worked in a professional manner to ensure the safety of guests and staff. We have thanked our team for their professionalism. We are proud of how they responded to this situation using and displaying our team values."
