Ledo Pizza apologizes for 9/11 tweet, hopes those offended can 'forgive us for this misstep'

As Twitchy told you, earlier today, D.C.-area pizzeria Ledo Pizza tweeted and then deleted a 9/11 commemoration featuring an American flag pizza:

They’ve since offered an explanation for their initial decision, as well as an apology:

This morning, Ledo Pizza posted a photo of a pizza decorated as a flag of the United States of America on Twitter. As you may know, we regularly use this photo to show our Patriotism and Love for our country during holidays and remembrances.

While most fans are used to seeing this photo and share our Patriotism, a few Twitter users took offense to this imagery and for this we are sincerely sorry. Our Twitter post was never intended to diminish the gravity of September 11th and has since been removed.

Again, if you are familiar with Ledo Pizza, you know that we would never intentionally do anything to dishonor our flag and we hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive us for this misstep. #WeAreSincerelySorry
