We travelled to Sicily and decided to get some pizza. So we found a really nice place at the beach, where we could watch the sunset over the sea. We ordered our pizzas and everything seemed perfect.
Then the pizzas came and my boyfriend tasted his. First he thought it had a funny seasoning and gave it a shot, but after a few bites he said his tongue began to tingle. I tried a few bites myself and it was a really weird sensation in my mouth. Like when something is really spicy, but more in an acidic kind of way.
So he tried to explain to a waitress something was off with the pizza. There was a huge language barrier, so in the end she took the pizza away and looked quite irritated. My boyfriend decided to walk towards the kitchen because we had the feeling they didn't understand our complaint. From my point of view, I saw different staff members rushing out of the kitchen, including a chef, who tried to explain something to my boyfriend in quite a panicky way.
It turns out their dishwasher was broken and all the plates where covered with highly concentrated dish soap. Their head chef ate some pizza and had to be picked up by an ambulance. Fortunately we didn't get food poisoning and just left the restaurant with empty bellies.
