Health Dept. Releases October Restaurant Inspection Reports
Sal's Pizza Box, Wasko's, Xpress Pizza and Grille, and Phoenixville Middle School were inspected.
The following Phoenixville businesses were inspected by the Chester County Health Department in the month of October. An important caveat: the language of these reports can be misleading, as they often describe potential problems as actual problems. For example, “presence of rodents/insects” could mean there's an infestation, or it might just mean the business in question left a back door open—which could lead to an infestation.
The results of each of the county's 2012 health inspections are available here.
