Pizza joints across New York City are being forced to raise the dough to cover the costs of expensive air filtration units after the liberal city passed new regulations limiting emissions.
Democrat Mayor Eric Adams has approved a new green plan that requires facilities using wood- and coal-fired stoves to cut their smoke by 75 percent.
More than 130 businesses will be impacted by the law, including many famed pizza joints. Businesses can apply for an exemption from the mandate – which goes into effect on April 27 – but they must prove they can not financially meet the requirements.
Still, business must then cut their emissions by 25 percent.
‘Get the people doing crack on the corner of the street away from me and leave my wood-burning ovens alone,’ Alejandra Sanchez, a professional chef, told DailyMail.com. ‘We want health care. Leave our pizza alone.’
Sanchez was referencing the city’s sprawling homelessness problem that frequently sees people sleeping in the streets. She implored Adams to focus on more important issues facing the city than pizza emissions.
