We referred to Tasty’s website before phoning in our order, an XL Pizza. Upon delivery, the price was $8 more (not including tax or tip) than listed on their website. There was no delivery charge, and we tipped on top of the total.
I called afterwards to inquire about the price difference. The employee I spoke with said there had been a change in ownership, and two websites exist (however I went back and looked online and could only find the one website we used). He said the price changed under new ownership. When I asked why we weren’t advised of the price change/given the price of the pizza he said, “well you didn’t ask dear” with incredible condescension. He became very rude at that point. I told him I wasn’t looking for a price adjustment, just to understand why the discrepancy. To that end, even with the new price of the pizza, the amount we were charged was still over $2 more.
I told him he’s just lost a customer and will likely lose more, to which he replied very aggressively “”How am I going to lose more customers”.
I love to support local businesses; I think it’s important and helps create a sense of community. However if business owners treat customers this way they are not worthy of our patronage. This is why I took the time to write...
Read moreI wish I wrote a review when Dave owned Tasty, which is since it opened. Well over 20 years ago until mid/late 2021 (unsure exactly). Dave and his family retired a number of months back and there is new ownership. They immediately cut costs by cutting quantity. I estimate there is now 75% less cheese and 50% less pepperoni/salami. Dave's pizza was never short on toppings. We have lived in a few spots in Dartmouth and Halifax, eaten at many locally owned pizza shops including the coasts highest rated. There are lots of good pizza joints in HRM but regardless of where we went, nobody beat Dave's Tasty Pizza. This new ownership saddens me. The pizza still tastes good and sauce is about the same but this is NOT Dave's Tasty. I honestly want to leave 3 stars but I'm adding one in for Dave's recipes. Sadly, I am hunting for the next best pizza and I fear that ship has sailed. Wishing Dave, his Wife and Family all the best in retirement. You've all worked hard for many years, through many storms, power outages, holidays, pandemic and more. Cheers Dave and hey "you want pop?!?!?"
Edit: Pizzas now cold, it's paper thin. 3 stars....
Read moreI have ordered here for 5 years, the first 3 years were good, food and service was great. Now, the food and service has steadily declined since the new owners took over. I live 5.6 km from their location and they wanted to charged me $7 for delivery. My bill for 1 large donair plate came to $29.80….absolutely ridiculous, I sent it back and it will be the last time I order from them. I ordered the same from Randys Pizza in Cole Harbour and it cost me $17.70 delivery and taxes included and it was delicious. With this much competition around you’d think their delivery charges should be re-considered. I won’t recommend nor order from here again, Randys Pizza is...
