Inspector’s notes
TCS food was improperly thawed. Frozen pizza ready to be cooked was thawing on the prep table.
In plain English
Food was not kept cold enough, hot enough, cooled fast enough, or cooked or reheated to the right temperature. Bacteria grow quickly in the "danger zone" between 41°F and 135°F, which makes this one of the most important food-safety checks.
