ALLENTOWN, Pa., Dec. 3, 2008
(AP) An Allentown pizzeria said venison is not on the menu _ despite the impression a customer may have gotten when she saw one of the cooks butchering a deer in the shop's kitchen. John Okumus, the manager of Stromboli Pizza, called Tuesday's incident a huge misunderstanding.Pizzeria Mistakenly Butchers Deer Near Customer

Okumus said he shot a doe and planned to give it to his friend. He wrapped the animal in plastic and dropped it off in a back area of the kitchen, hoping the friend would pick it up. Okumus then went home.
He said a cook mistakenly started butchering the deer, and a customer saw what was happening.
The Allentown Health Department investigated but did not issue a citation.
