It’s Boca Rudeton For Saturday. Why Do You Need A Dog In A Pizza Place?
BY: STAFF REPORT | BocaNewsNow.com
DELRAY BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2024 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Another day, another rude South Palm Beach County person bringing a pet where it doesn’t belong. This time, it’s Pizza Sophia at 15065 State Road 7 in Delray Beach. Our tipster appropriately asks why this woman and her dining companion are eating dinner with a dog. It’s a good question.
Animals are not legal inside of restaurants. It’s fine to eat on a patio with your pooch, but not inside. Our tipster asked the restaurant to intervene but apparently wouldn’t. It’s unclear if the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation was contacted concerning the animal violation. Our tipster nominated this woman for Boca Rudeton. We couldn’t agree more.
Lady eating with your tiny pooch perched under your table: you are today’s Boca Rudeton winner. Congratulations. While we do not give prizes, we know what we would send if we did. It’s, of course, the 80’s hit by Rockwell, “Somebody’s Watching Me.” Lots of Somebodies are watching you — and everyone who brings dogs into places where they do not belong in South Palm Beach County.
We remind our readers that there is no expectation of privacy in a public place. Don’t want to be seen here? Don’t be rude here! Send your submissions to us using the menu buttons, above.

This is absolutely unthinkable!
I absolutely love my little girl.
But, my God, they’re dining inside!!!!
Everybody knows animals eat outside!
Such nerve -

Way too many think they are “entitled” to do and act as they see fit….for themselves, and damn the generl population. Shame on the restaurant – Pizza Sophia – for allowing this or not taking care of the situation immediately. I hope the public takes note, and maybe there’ll be some form of boycott until the restaurant gets their act together.

WHO CARES????? I allow you to sit with your screaming infants and toddlers running around picking their noses! At least the dog is quietly laying down and behaving! I cannot understand WHAT is the uproar?? These are clean, well-behaved dogs. Who are you people that have NO tolerance! We have much bigger issues at hand!
-
Aileen, children are humans. Dogs are animals and not permitted by law into these establishments unless they are trained service animals that provide a legitimate service, not a faux emotional support animal or just a pet. There’s a difference.
-
Who cares. WE WHO HAVE ALLERGIES AND ASTHMA TO ANIMALS AND GET TREATED. WHO CARES. WHO KNOWS WHERE THIS DOG HAS BEEN. IT ISN’T A PERSON. I’M SO SICK AND TIRED OF RUDE, IGNORANT, WE DO WHATEVER WE WANT PEOPLE. THIS IS THE WAY OF OUR WORLD. THESE PEOPLE DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ANYONE ELSE. IT IS WAY PAST TIME THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH STARTS FINING THESE RESTAURANTS FOR IGNORING THE LAWS. IT IS NOT SANITARY TO HAVE AN ANIMAL DINING IN A RESTAURANT. AND YOU AILEEN HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THIS DOG HAS BEEN, ETC. IGNORANT HORRIBLE PEOPLE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

I totally agree with you.
Go out for an expensive meal in a fine dining venue to have it ruined by
screaming babies, and unruly brats. -
Children are legal. Dogs are not.
-
-
Clean, do you kiss your dog or let him lap your face after he licks his genitalia?
-
I could not agree with you more. There are certainly bigger problems in the world then Fido lying quietly under the table.
-
Aileen, totally agree with you! I’ve seen coughing, running nose obviously ill children in restaurants where you are seated on top of each other.
Give me a quiet, trained pup sitting under the table anytime -
How the heck would you know if the dog was well behaved? Or clean? Or spreading its dander to a human sensitive?
-
And what about people that are allergic to dogs? I guess they don’t matter. It is not a service animal!

THANK YOU, HOWARD VERY WELL SAID. THE RESTAURANT IT WRONG AND I’M SICK OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO REGARD FOR OTHERS. THEY NEVER GIVE A THOUGHT TO THE ANIMAL BOTHERING OTHERS, PEOPLE ALLERGIC TO DOGS, ASTHMA, ETC.
WE LEFT A RESTAURANT AS PEOPLE DID HAVE THE ANIMAL IN A STROLLER AND THE SMELL WAS AWFUL IT GAGGED YOU.
THEY BELONG OUTSIDE AND OUTSIDE ONLY. STAY HOME AND ORDER TAKE OUT. -
Apparently, Pizza Sophia thinks dogs are good for business? The restaurant will no longer get my business!
I agree dogs shouldn’t be in restaurants or supermarkets however I look to BocaNews for “news” in my area not for who is the Boca Rudeton winner by bringing a dog into a place of business or taking 2 parking places. Way to much hate & anger in this world as it is… this is so unnecessary
-
Agreed! Why does everyone gets bent out of shape about these petty things? There’s a lot more worse things going on in the country. The restaurant should have addressed this situation, they are at fault for allowing this.

Au contraire. I visit Boca News Now specifically to read about the latest in rude Boca residents.

I just moved here from up NOrth. I LOVE Boca Rudeton because it’s not WOKE and afraid of calling out RUDE behaviors. In fact I even submitted photos of a dog defecting in the middle of the Boca Town Center mall.

I for one, am happy people are sending in the photos. IT WOULD BE BETTER IF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WOULD TAKE CARE OF THESE ISSUES. I’M SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE PUSHING THEIR PETS ON OTHERS. Your comment about the world and petty things. This is not petty. It is ignorant and rude to think that in a public restaurant everyone is ok with You bringing your animal. WRONG!!!!!!!!! It is NOT YOUR RESTAURANT. PEOPLE HAVE ALLERGIES, I FOR ONE GET SHOTS, MANY OTHERS ARE ALLERGIC AND HAVE ASTHMA. I KNOW MANY WHO ARE UPSET. SO JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN’T LEAVE YOUR DOG HOME FOR AN HOUR TO DINE OUT, YOU WANT TO INFLICT THIS ON EVERYONE. STAY HOME AND ORDER TAKE OUT. STOP, YOU ARE SELFISH AND FEEL ENTITLED.
Was the dog hurting anybody ? Was the dog being noisey ? Please, don’t you have more important things to do ?

It has nothing to do with what other things people might have to do.
It has to do with complying with the law.
We are not allowed to break laws that have been lawfully passed.
Do you want to live in a ‘wild west’ environment?
Would you be happy if this dog did his business on the walkway to your home?
My solution to a situation like this;;if one is offended just get up and leave the restaurant without paying or tell your server that it is what you will do or call the police.Or keep taking pictures.-
Unfortunately we do live in the Wild West since Mr Orange Man was president. He changed the entire world. Because of him everybody seems to think there are no rules and regulations that need to be followed anymore. What a sad world we live in today.

Every few weeks I visit Pizza Sophia for a slice and a soda. I will NEVER, EVER frequent it again.

I’m the owner of Pizzeria Sophia.
The dog had a service animal tag. It is illegal for me to refuse service animals. I’m very aware these tags can be purchased on the internet. I do not wish to question the honesty & integrity of my customers.
For the record I prefer to not have animals inside restaurants.-
If they are a service dog, they should still be outside, not inside.
-
I appreciate your frank and honest reply.
There are two sides,at least, to every story and we all have become very judgemental without knowing all the facts.
Good Luck and keep making good Pizzas

Wrong. A service dog is allowed inside per the Americans With Disabilities Act. How shameful that this site continues to publish things like this without knowing — or attempting to know — all the facts. Also, your lawyers are wrong about the no privacy right in a public place. It’s more complicated than that as these people are not public figures and you are showing their faces. Perhaps one day you will find this out when you are on the wrong end of a franchise-ending lawsuit. for the record, people diagnosed with certain conditions like PTSD are entitled to service animals. So just because you can’t see their disability don’t assume they dont have one.
Dear business owner-
ADA allows for two questions to be asked: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform?
No documentation or proof of certification can be required by businesses.
However, were these questions asked by you or your staff??
To all those entitled persons supporting taking dogs into restaurants bedamned about those allergic, fearful, immune-compromised, risks from other dogs the LAW, that equivalizes children with runny noses to be same as dogs (without runny noses), making comment too much more important things to worry about… I ask….how many parents have u helped with their children, offering a napkin for nose cleanup or is that your quiet time to contemplate all the work YOU will be doing to solve all the worlds problems. FOR ALL THE PEOPLE REMINDING OTHERS, ask what she just did in that time frame o make world or area a better community. And to be specific. Likely, nothing but feeling entitled to break the law and planning how she would do that. Perhaps she should add thoughts on how to explain getting a 2nd degree misdemeanor charge and ticket. Much more worthwhile and relevent.
