WATCH: Congressman attacks NYC Mayor Eric Adams for ‘picking on small businesses’ with new pizzeria emissions law

Published March 21, 2024 7:00am ET



Pizzerias and bakeries are getting burned in New York City because a new law could cost business owners some serious dough. NYC tops the country in serving the most expensive piece of pizza. This new emissions law requires bakeries and pizzerias with wood- and coal-fired stoves or cooktops to cut emissions by 75%. It could cause the price of the decadently flavored triangle to skyrocket even more as businesses are plagued with a massive expense.

“The law and the order is not necessary,” Rep. Marc Molinaro (R-NY) said. “Mayor [Eric] Adams and Gov. [Kathy] Hochul should be focused on their sanctuary city policies. They should be focused on high cost of living. They should be focused on the lack of security and safety in our communities, but instead, they’re picking on a bunch of small businesses.”
