Peter Piper Pizza advertises “you bring the people, we’ll bring the party,” but the guests one family invited to a Laredo location on Friday night brought a different, violent kind of bash.

Laredo Police Department Public Information Officer Joe E. Baeza told mySA.com his department received multiple calls to the restaurant, located at 4600 San Dario Avenue, around 8:45 p.m. for a fight inside the business. A viral video posted on Facebook by a user named David Navarro reveals what happened.

The violent footage starts with one man punching another, Tim Duncan jersey-wearing individual atop a table. Customers and Peter Piper Pizza employees attempt to pull the men from each other, but the aggression continues while children look on.

A third man gets a slice of the squabble by initially picking up a bench and looks as if he is advancing toward the fight with it in hand. Three women yank the furniture from his hands, but he reappears a few seconds later and lands a few surprise jabs on one of the men involved in the first fight – again, while children look on.

Baeza said based off preliminary calls, he believes the fighting was a case of embroiled “ex’s” within one family. He added that it was “mutual combat” situation in which neither party wished to file charges.

Since Navarro posted the video on Saturday morning, it has garnered a reaction from at least 2,000 users, nearly 4,000 shares and a thread of more than 1,000 comments as of Monday.

One customer, a woman named Dennise Ramos, commented on an unofficial business page for the location, asking that those involved be banned from returning.

“They are a danger to children who are your source of money,” she said, adding that the situation was a “lack of common sense” and “compassion.”

Peter Piper Pizza regional and corporate offices were not immediately available to comment on the brawl, but Baeza said the company’s priority Friday night was to “disperse” the crowd quickly out of the "family-oriented business."

This isn't the first time violence has broken out at a Peter Piper Pizza. In 2014, a fist fight was caught on camera at a Peter Piper in Burleson, and in 2015, a 5-year-old girl was bitten on the ear by another child at a Peter Piper in Chandler, Arizona.
