Hot Pizza House — Restaurant in Melbourne

Craving a nice no frills hump day pizza after a hard slog at the office, I thought I would swing past Hot Pizza House. After reading mixed reviews, I threw caution to the wind as I ordered a large chicken pineapple. After a reasonable 25 min wait time I eagerly took the pizza back home.

Opening the box, my first impression of the pizza was underwhelming. The chicken resembled something that you would find in a can of Snappy Tom. The crust was burnt, yet somehow the middle was what can only be described as a puddle - why?

I have eaten pretty ordinary pizzas before, however this one was by far the worst. After the first bite, I had some regrets. However, I persevered and now here we are - 15 minutes after finishing the pizza my guts are churning. I am playing the waiting game hoping that I won't end up riding the porcelain bus tonight as a result of my poor decision to order pizza from this place.

In an area with so many quality alternatives, I will definitely not be going back to this...

May be good pizza. I’ll never know. Went in but as soon as told cash only, I walked out. It’s 2022. People do not have cash and there is no cost barrier for a business to accept cards, ApplePay etc. as their once was. Apart from being inconvenient for me, it indicates the owners are hiding income from the tax man and ripping off us all. Likely also using cash to pay employees under the table too, which is exploitation and of course illegal.

If I’m wrong tell me. But I can’t think of a legitimate reason to be cash only in 2022. If anything you should now be moving towards...
