Ric Flair asked to leave restaurant after an incident with staff

Flair said he was “disrespected more than I ever have in my entire life.”

Ric Flair was recently asked to leave a restaurant after an incident involving a member of the restaurant’s staff, according to the 16-time former world champion.

On Sunday (May 5), Flair registered a complaint on social media against Piesanos Stone Fired Pizza in Gainesville, FL, saying he was asked to leave because of an issue he had with a kitchen manager taking too long in the restroom. On X, Flair wrote:

I Spent $1500 At @PiesanosSFP To Be Disrespected More Than I Ever Have In My Entire Life. After Taking 20 Pictures With Customers And Staff, I Was Asked To Leave Because Of An Issue I Had With The Kitchen Manager Taking Too Long In The Bathroom. I Would Highly Recommend That Anyone Who Wants To Enjoy A Relaxing Time In Gainesville At A Nice Restaurant To Never Visit This Place! WOOOOO!

Flair said he spent $1,500 at the establishment during an apparent graduation celebration for his family. He also said he took photos with customers and staff before being asked to leave following the alleged incident. Cageside Seats reached out to the restaurant, but the staff declined to comment. An effort was also made to contact area management, but a response had yet to be received as of this writing. According to its website, Piesanos describes itself as a place offering authentic Italian meals.

Before this, Flair expressed disappointment over being excluded from the upcoming Vice TV series “Who Killed WCW?” The four-part series is a collaboration between Vice TV and Seven Bucks Productions, which was co-founded by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

In what appeared to be happier times during his visit to Piesanos, Flair posted a picture to Instagram with a message that read, “In Gainesville at Graduation! The family that continues to grow! Congratulations Paris and Summer! WOOOOO!”
