On your pizza: extra cheese, pepperoni—Bambi?

ALLENTOWN, Pa. -- A Pennsylvania pizzeria insists 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.

The manager of Stromboli Pizza in Allentown says a customer saw one of the restaurant cooks carving up a deer Tuesday. But John Okumus says the venison was not intended for the store.

He says he shot a doe during a hunt and left the carcass in the store's kitchen for pickup by a friend. Okumus says a customer complained to the city health department after seeing a cook mistakenly butcher the deer.

The department investigated but did not issue a citation.
