The Little Caesars restaurant in Beverly was shut down Wednesday after a customer called 311 to report that he had found insects on his pizza. The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) conducted an inspection of the restaurant at 10259 S. Western Ave., that uncovered an "infestation of drain flies."

Inspectors found more than 100 live drain flies on the premises, including on unbaked pizzas, bread sticks and in pizza dough. Inspectors ordered Little Caesars management to discard nine pizzas, six bread sticks and pizza dough.

CDPH also cited the pizzeria for failing to supply soap at a hand washing sink in the kitchen and at the employee restroom.

Little Caesars will remain closed until it passes re-inspection, and Little Caesars management are scheduled to appear at an administrative hearing Oct. 30 and pay a fine up to $1,750.
