Restaurant inspections

County officials regularly inspect food facilities to ensure compliance with state laws. Here, Lookout Eugene-Springfield reports both those who have passed the inspections and those where the county observed issues to correct. The county’s full ongoing reports can be accessed here.

  • Joey’s Pizza at 1498 S A St. was cited for issues during a county health inspection on April 30. The restaurant scored 83 out of 100. Inspectors found no soap or hand towels at some handwashing sinks, improper faucet operation, raw meat stored above ready-to-eat foods, employee food stored over public food, and unlabeled or improperly stored toxic chemicals. All issues were corrected by the reinspection, including providing soap and hand towels, fixing faucets, properly organizing food storage to prevent contamination, removing unnecessary toxic materials, and labeling all chemical containers clearly.
