“No more pigeon poop pizza for us”: Locals outraged by filthy find at Crust Neutral Bay.
By ANNA USHER
Local residents have been left horrified after video emerged of pigeons feasting on ingredients at a popular pizza chain.
The footage, posted on TikTok, shows three birds pecking at toppings ready to be used for making pizzas at Crust on Ben Boyd Rd in Neutral Bay.
No staff are seen inside the shop, and the video – uploaded on Sunday – has already amassed more than 35,000 views.
Mosman Collective readers were quick to express their disgust, with several saying they will never visit the restaurant again.
“This makes me so angry. We had pizza from there last Tuesday night and I was quite unwell on Wednesday. Definitely no more pigeon poop pizza for us from there,” one commented.
“Call the Health Department. That’s disgusting,” another wrote.

Many saw the humorous side of things however, with one local commenting, “I’ve had pigeon pie, didn’t like it, too many bones.”
“Ham, pigeon and pineapple pizza,” another said.
A Google search of the pizza store indicates it is under new management.

“Taking the pizza industry by storm, Crust became iconically known for their innovative product offering and famous gourmet pizza flavors,” their website says.
