Amante Gourmet Pizza — Restaurant in Carrboro

I call to order a pizza at noon on a friday, which I doubt is peek hours. The guy put me on hold once, then after answering the phone told me to "hold on" multiple times. I had to repeat my order, my phone number, my address, all multiple times before he finally got it, and I promise I was speaking very articulately and there was no bad connection over the phone. I told him extra sauce for my buffalo chicken pizza. He gives me the total, which is far too much for two small pizzas, and we hang up. Half an hour later I receive a phone call, which I was expecting to be a driver saying they couldn't find my house, but it was the cook asking if I wanted tomato sauce mixed into my buffalo sauce on the pizza, or if I wanted extra buffalo sauce. Very strange question. Obviously, I wanted extra buffalo sauce on my buffalo chicken pizza. I hung up... Then I realized that my pizza wasn't only not on the way yet, but not even started cooking yet. So I called back and cancelled the order. I have had their pizza before, and it's not the worst pizza, or the best pizza, but it's not worth the absurd prices they charge. $15 for a medium pizza that is a very small medium. I'm not to the area and I genuinely believe that people who live here have absolutely no idea what good food, good service, and good price is. I'm sorry, but if you offer great food for a reasonable price you'll sell a lot more of that food than selling good food for a high price, and you'll...

I've decided to shoot for 2-5 (2= Order Made Correctly) lol 😆... Ok, enough shade 😎. After placing my order online, My overall experience was HORRIBLE...🙄🤷🏾 Hear me out...Got a text stating the order was delayed 🙃, that's fine, things happen. Finally Arrived at the pizza 🍕 joint, greeted by [Tracy Chapman Reject] the cashier. Give her my name, and what I ordered. 🙄 She looks at me, and says "Are you sure 🤔 you ordered here, what restaurant 🙄 did you order from?" 💡(Sidebar) Who drives in 44° weather, 🥶 NOT knowing what pizza joint they used... clearly it would be in your #Short-term memory,💡 🤷🏾🙄🤣😂 I was APPALLED. "Uhhhh, I think I know what restaurant 🍕, let me show you the text!" We went back/forth and then she checks the back, duh... The bottom line is, she NEVER did her due diligence, effective listening 👂, service 🙄 excellence, nothing. My name was clearly written 🙄 on the box, I came with receipts. A bad experience. 👎 The pizza 🍕 was decent, but the amount of mushrooms 🍄 😳 were OVERKILL, considering it had some sort of vinegarette base. I almost got the impression 😅, the mushrooms 🍄 were an afterthought, so to speak. The chicken etc were cooked into the pizza 🍕, but the mushrooms 🍄 appeared to have been sprinkled on. It is what it is...

Visited Carrboro last night to promote and conduct an event last night. During a break (we had one hour), I and an another film producer visited Amante for food and sodas (about 8:30PM). I am white--my producer is black. We ordered a pizza, and paid with 28% gratuity when we ordered. After 25 minutes and me asking, the busboy informed us that they had 'messed up' our pizza and another one would be ready in minutes. After 30 minutes, I had to knock on the kitchen window to remind them we were waiting. The bus boy brought out the pizza. No plates, silverware and 'enjoy'. The pizza was not even sliced--and was so hot you could not handle it. And I guess the table was a good enough plate. I asked for a too-go box. The bus boy brought the smallest one they have for an entire pizza. It was all I could do to put it in the box--much less carry it. I went back inside and complained directly to the owner. He said I was being 'rude' although he had my pizza, money and tip. I told him I was going to expose him on social media--and he said to go ahead. He has my money and the pizza. He's good. I will never spend another dime here, and I recommend you...
