Another 1 star review that reads: I've had cheese pizza by-the-slice there a bunch of times, its been solid for a slice. I've always had a good experience with the younger guys there, sometimes chatting about the european soccer that's always on the TV. Walked in today and asked "Does the [by-the-slice] meatball pizza have pork in it?" That's the only thing I said. The old man at the register to my right smirked and quickly said "Everything has pork in it. If you are that much of a Muslim this is not the right place for you. If you are that religious, this is not the right place for you." I simply walked out. Even giving the very-difficult-to-believe benefit of the doubt that his intention was to communicate there is cross-contamination risk, his delivery was rude at best, and at worst religiously discriminatory against a customer whose faith he only presumed.
Today, I want to share an extremely distressing and disturbing event that occurred to us in Sorrento's pizza. I have been living in Acton-Boxborough for around 14 years now. My son joined the school system when he was in third grade and graduated college last year. My daughter who was born when we moved to Acton, is now at RJ Grey. Acton-Boxborough has always been a safe, welcoming environment & a place that we call home. We are also Muslims and that factored in today's event that happened around half an hour ago. I went to Sorrento's with my 14 year old daughter, a friend, her 2 college aged daughters and her autistic 6 year old son. My friend has also lived in Acton for a very long time, though she has recently moved but her girls went through the Acton-Boxborough school system and graduated from our high school before going on to college. My friend's autistic son was difficult today, he cried alot, was loud and made a fuss. The restaurant was relatively empty so we stayed and his mom was trying to help him control his emotions. To cut a sad story short, the owner of Sorrento's was verbally abusive to us. He called out saying, you should know I touched all your food with pork. He cursed Islam and Muslims ( my friend and one of her daughter wear hijab and so he guessed correctly that we were muslims). He said things like " I hate Allah" (which is so ignorant, since Allah just means God), he said something using curse word in Arabic, but because its so terrible, I will not repeat it.He cursed at my friend's autistic child and told us he didn't want us Muslims to return to his restaurant again. A policeman came by, by coincidence as the officer later told us, but Sorrento's owner told my friend that (screenshot cut off, continued in next one).
A 1 star review that reads: I've been coming to this place ever since I was a kid. Theres photos of me from nearly 2 decades ago on the TV. Sorrentos has supported so many school events and other things. I truly considered them a pillar of the community. However, recent incidents of racism, Islamophobia, ableism, xenophobia, and other bigotry from staff towards my neighbors and community members has soured my love for this place. I will not be eating here again, and suggest that yall do the same. I'm so so so disappointed and disgusted. Shame on you! The owner responded: (In Arabic) [Thanks] [God] (continued in English) must like our pizza regardless of what you say. If you find a better tasting one, bring us a slice please. You may also want to tell your friends not to abuse their children in my store.
