Barberton pizza shop owner puts up new signs after previous message sparks backlash

BARBERTON, Ohio (WOIO) - The owner of a Northeast Ohio pizza place is hoping his new signs won’t be as offensive as his last message.

Two new signs can now be seen outside of the East of Chicago Pizza location in Barberton.

“Well I got back on the saddle and put up some new signs. Hopefully I don’t offend anyone this week,” the company shared on Facebook.
