"A Woking pizza branch was thrust into a public-relations storm after a high-profile interview in which a royal used a pizza party with his daughter as an alibi for a 2001 sexual-assault allegation. The internet responded with extreme skepticism and a flood of parody Google reviews, lampooning details from the interview—examples cited an American pizza on a balmy spring evening in 2001, broken air conditioning making the room stuffy, and a neighbouring diner who allegedly didn’t break a sweat (claimed to be from an adrenaline rush). The mock reviews playfully praised the staff for treating customers like royalty, and the episode prompted jokes about a possible spicy, commemorative pizza named after the royal, all while dragging the branch’s reputation into the spotlight." - James Hansen
