Bengaluru: Domino's India responds after pics of mops, toilet brush hanging above pizza dough go viral

We frequently avoid eating at roadside dhabas or small cafes in the streets because of the unsanitary methods or conditions under which they prepare food, and instead choose for significantly more expensive global franchises for better health.

What if these expensive and well-known food franchises turn out to be just another mirror copy of your local dhabas and canteens, leaving you questioning whether there is no such eatery worth trusting?

A similar incident has surfaced online from a Domino's outlet in Bengaluru, with photos going viral on the microblogging site Twitter.

Twitter user Tushar shared pictures on social media which, he claims, are from Domino’s, Bengaluru. It shows toilet brush, mops and clothes hanging on top of trays with pizza dough in them.

Mops and toilet brushes can be seen hanging directly above the raw dough being readied to bake pizzas at the outlet in the now-viral photos. The horrific images from a food franchise that is supposed to deliver clean and fresh pizzas and other food items to its consumers enraged Twitter.

Is @dominos_india charging extra also for these toppings on their pizza base? or is this a free offer by @dominos
