A popular pizza spot in the Emory area of DeKalb County failed its recent health inspection after the inspector reported finding a variety of issues.
Rocco's New York Pizza, located at 2064 North Decatur Road, scored 68 on Wednesday, according to the inspector's report. The issues in the report included mold in the ice machine; debris and a 'scum like matter' on food-contact surfaces in a sink; and cooler temperature problems.

“Observed multiple utensils with dried food accumulation of the food contact surfaces stored as clean and ready to use,” the inspector wrote. “Also observed a build up of food and grease accumulation in the container that the utensils were stored in.”
Rocco Maldini, the owner, said Thursday he’d already gotten the issues taken care of. He expects to pass the next inspection, which should happen within the next 10 days.
“Everything is good right now,” he said.
