New York City Mayor Adams defended a potential crackdown against wood-burning and coal pizza ovens this week, citing the historic smoke that swept into the Big Apple from raging wildfires in Canada.
“Well first of all, I love my vegan pizza with vegan cheese. And something about pizza, like, does anyone dislike pizza? Everyone likes pizza,” Adams said.
“You almost see that pie in front of you, you start to get happy. I think pizzas have saved more marriages than any other foods. Sharing a pie with your boo is like, that’s the ultimate.”
“Right now we are at the public moment where the public can weigh in. Let the public weigh in, let the public give their thoughts and then we’ll make the final determination. We don’t want to hurt businesses in the city, and we don’t want to hurt the environment,” Adams said.
“I think nothing is more clearer to all of us as what this environment is going through after two weeks ago with the fire in Canada,” the mayor added. “That smoke is the type of smoke that we’re talking about. So let’s see if we can find a way to get the resolutions we’re looking for.”
