Tushar shared the photos and encouraged everyone to eat homemade food instead of store-bought. "Photos from a Domino's outlet in Bengaluru wherein cleaning mops were hanging above trays of pizza dough. A toilet brush, mops and clothes could be seen hanging on the wall and under them were placed the dough trays. Please prefer homemade food,” the photo caption reads.

Many pizza connoisseurs have been disgusted by the images. Twitter users urged authorities to prosecute them harshly. A user also shared a video depicting the appalling conditions under which the food is prepared.
