Officials say the former Comerica Park worker, Jaylon Kerley, has been arrested and will be arraigned in Detroit, Michigan, on Monday.
Officials at the home of the Detroit Tigers believe the video was recorded on Friday, when the team hosted the Kansas City Royals.
Detroit Sportservice provides food services at Comerica Park baseball ballpark.
Detroit Sportservice said in a statement: “As soon as we became aware through social media of potential food tampering Friday night, we immediately closed that food stand and disposed of all the product.
“Food safety is our top priority and we will take any appropriate action necessary to protect our guests.”
The video was posted on Instagram by Nell May, alongside a lengthy rant aimed at the ballpark.
The post said: “I was sent home early today because I didn’t have on my Comerica Park shirt and they say I was at the bathroom for too long.
“So they yelled at me and told me to go home. But since they made me go home early I couldn’t wait until after the game to tell them an employee was spitting in customer pizzas!”
This isn’t the first time an employee spat in customers’ food.
Earlier this year, customers at Pita Pit in Missoula, Montana, saw a worker spit in their food before hurling it at them and leaping on the counter.
They tried to order wraps but were confronted by a hostile member of staff who “didn’t want to be at work".
A co-owner – named only as Nancy – wrote on Facebook: “I can see what happened during the video and there is no excuse whatsoever for the type of behaviour shown by an employee that I can assure you is no longer working for us.
"This employee’s behaviour does not represent who we are as a family or a business. It also does not represent the Missoula community.”
