A pizza parlor has reportedly not taken kindly to late night's latest funnyman.

Jimmy Fallon claimed Saturday via Twitter he was booted from a New York pizza joint.

"actually asked to leave a pizza place today," Fallon wrote on the social-networking site at 3:33 p.m. on April 4. "Posto on 2nd."

Fallon claimed that the owners of the parlor didn't like his comments about a sister restaurant.

"carb face carol rude to my 2 year old niece and an 11 month old (sleeping) because they heard i didnt like the pizza there," Fallon said. "crazy. i actually like posto."

Earlier this year, Fallon accompanied Mario Batali on a pizza-tasting tour of the city for a New York magazine article that appeared last month. One of the restaurants on the list was Spunto, the sister restaurant of Posto.

"I think they use a blow dryer on the cheese," Fallon said in the article. "That would be the best Ritz cracker pizza. I assume they have a place named Crusto?"

Fallon said in his Twitters that "i am not (or ever will be) a food critic," and went on to say that "carb face carol" laughed as they left.

"Jimmy never said anything negative about Posto," his rep told Page Six. "He even recommended Posto as a favorite restaurant in an upcoming magazine article -- though it's no longer one of his favorites. Rest assured he won't be going back."

The restaurant refused to comment.

I had no Idea so many people were on the same page as far as this dude is concerned. Thats how I feel about Adam Sandler I just don't get that guy or why he's so damn celebrated yet he is. When I think funny I think of Richard Pryor, George Carlin, John Bellushi, Mike Myers, Gene Wilder,and the list goes on and on I am just not good at remembering all the greats as you can see my feeble attempt at naming only a few but fortunately I've been graced and have had the pleasure at laughing my ass off at so many more.

The same MORONS who voted for, campaigned for, and worship at the altar of OBAMA, are the SAME folks who think this guy is funny,.That OPRAH is ordained by the LORD, and Adam Sandler and ALL the slackers like him are FUNNY!The networks are run by Liberal Momma Boy's who think any thing that involves passing gas or masturbation is clever humor. THE clever comedians who used wordplay and sarcasm too entertain and provoke their audiences, wouldn't make it in todays comedy clubs. The target demographic now are momma-boy slackers who have the attention span of gnats. The young women are just as bad. THERE'S a reason all the top movies are all action and little character development. It takes an attention span and some intelligence to follow a clever plot or complicated character development. Jimmy Fallon is the CAUSE, he's the RESULT!

I agree. I only enjoyed him in the movie "Taxi" with Queen Latifa but other than that he really is not that great. That movie really did show his strange side and it was funny. Too bad.

Too bad Jimmy Fallon can't run into some neck high razor wire in the dark. It's amazing what you can do with pigsh*t. You can make it walk and talk and since it smells like sh*t, you get a TV show.
