Àteru Do NOT eat pizza at the Olbia airport

Post image

Last night I was leaving Sardinia through the Olbia airport. I bought a 7.50€ slice of pizza from Kara Pizza. It was very basic with cheese and olives. It was fresh out of the oven when I ate it. I got home 2-3 hours later and threw up for 4 hours straight in the middle of the night. It was 100% food poisoning! Be careful and avoid eating there.

How long between eating and being ill? Were you sick again after 4 hours? People often blame the last place they ate for food poisoning when in reality bacteria need 6-48hrs to incubate and then symptoms will occur for a longer period after.

It’s not the food that makes you sick (if it’s food poisoning- could just be acute gastric irritation). The bacteria need to multiply and then you need to be sick (or other….) until you expel all the bacteria.

Toxin poisoning would act faster but you’d still be going a day or so later or be hospitalised.

It’s likely something you ate earlier in the day/ previous day(s) or most likely an unrelated stomach bug.

maybe it was just dirty operator hands. like using the bathroom and not washing before handling food. Not the food itself. I have gotten sick within 2 hours of consuming poorly-handled fish at a restaurant and it is 100% due to food poisoning from the food, not something I ate 8 hours earlier. I know my body and that is how quickly it will react.

I ate the pizza around 7 pm then woke up feeling sick at 2 am, vomiting by 3. My boyfriend shared my lunch and was not sick so I know it wasn’t that and I didn’t eat anything between them aside from some lays chips! I also came face to face with the olives from the pizza so it is pretty clear to me what happened

So in text above you wrote 2-3 hr later not 6 or seven

Sorry for the confusion. I was home 2-3 hours later, threw up in the middle of the night. Not 2-3 hours after i ate it.

Let’s be real - all airport food is risky and disgusting.

This is why you should bring a panino from nonna wrapped in a napkin and another napkin and then 3 layers of tin foil. 👍🏽

So true. I was stupid enough to have takeaway sushi from the Miami airport once.

I paid for that miserably for over three days.

Stupid, stupid me.

Never once had problems with Kara Kiosk’s (outside the airport) pizza before, I actually always find it quite nice considering it being airport food.

They have 2.1 stars on Google, I'm sure it's quite nice

*3,1 - and most bad reviews are about the rushy staff (which is true sometimes, depending on numbers of guests). But haters gonna hate I guess.

The one in the photo is Kara food, not Kara kiosk with a 2.1 star review of bad food. Guess again lover.

You could have got norovirus considering airports are notoriously dirty
