The Detroit Free Press reports the lawsuit filed yesterday in Wayne County Circuit Court says the pizza sold in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn was labeled "halal," meaning it shouldn't contain pork and would be prepared in a way that follows Islamic law.
A Little Caesars statement says the chain "cherishes our customers from all religions and cultures" and believes the lawsuit is "without merit."
The lawsuit seeks class-action status. It says Mohamad Bazzi twice ordered "halal" pizza containing pork.
