Giuseppe's Pizza Restaurant — Restaurant in Caseville

If you are looking for a great dining experience, try the Blue Water Bar next door or Lefty's Diner down the street. You won't find a good experience here. Lets start with the server. Because I don't know her name lets call her Blondie. Blondie had all of the friendly disposition of an alcoholic drying out in the drunk tank. By that I mean she was lost, confused, couldn't answer a single question straight and when confronted, became very defensive and nasty. We ordered drinks while we were looking over the menu and Blondie informed us that she has to put in our order and drinks together on one ticket and couldn't serve us until we did order. We ordered our meal and our beverages and Blondie informed us that their drinks were canned pop and bottled lemonade. OK, I've seen that before and didn't think about it much until I got my can of Cherry Pepsi and it was flat, like shaken up to many times, heated and frozen and thawed flat. My wife's Diet Coke was the same. well the area suffered a power out for three days around a week ago so we joked about it and moved on. 45 minutes later, yep, 45 minutes with only one other table occupied, our pizza arrived. IN complete honesty, it was delicious but my daughter's Alfredo pasta didn't come out until ten minutes after that. Funny how the order has to be put in together but the food can be doled out whenever they feel like it. despite being smothered in Alfredo, it was about as bland as plain noodles. Thirty minutes went by as we ate and the best part of my meal was Blondie didn't come back. unfortunately, she never came back with the bill either, we had to wait another 10 minutes for that. then the bill was a complete shocker. where I had tallied things up at around $35. the bill came in closer to $50. Here's why. $2.50 for a 12 oz can of Pepsi (that was flat). $3.00, for a can of Coke with a slice of Lemon. 3.00 for a bottle of peach lemonade. Think that refill was free? nope, another $3 for each. When I stopped Blondie from walking around like a drunkard, and asked her about these charges, she informed me that she doesn't set the prices. Completely unsympathetic and unapologetic, Blondie actually got defensive when I asked to see a manager about charging me for a Pizza Box. Yep thats another buck. She came back five minutes later, box in hand and said that "this is a one time deal." I couldn't believe it. I told her that I wanted to see the manager and she informed me that they don't have a manager per se. I asked her who the highest ranking person in the building was and she said that was her. I replied that it means there is a person in the back who doesn't have the stones to come out into the dining room. I told Blondie I would be more than happy to come back during the dinner rush in one of our cities festivals to speak to a boss. She asked me to pay my bill and leave. I did. Oh yeah, I paid by card and had to walk BEHIND their counter to put it in. then sign for it anyway! SO now I'm writing a letter to our local chamber of commerce. All of that being said, if you live in the area or are just visiting, phone in your pizza order and go pick it up. Don't dine in, your food will taste bad based on service alone. and if your food isn't ready when you get there, walk out and take your family to one of our other restaurants who actually want your business and want you to have...

I should’ve known better when the waitress “couldn’t” take my drink order without the ENTIRE order.

The good experience: The pizza. That’s it, nothing else.

The rest of it: The cherry lemonade my daughter had was only, ok. It was overly sweet and tasted like it was all syrup. My Diet Coke was flatter than my hardwood floors and my husband’s Cherry Pepsi was just as flat...FROM A CAN.

My daughter had the Fettuccine Alfredo, she said it was good but was nauseous before she was a third of the way into it. I thought she was going to hurl right on the table. What I tasted was nothing. That’s right, after two bites all I tasted was warm cream on an over done noodle.

There was one family finishing up when we got there and another came in just after us. When the first family left it was silent. Silent to the point where my husband put on Pandora for some ambiance. The interior had potential but had the feel of a morgue. Dark gray walls with zero decor on them, and card tables and folding chairs for seating. It was as bad as visiting someone who was in jail.

Then we got the bill. An order of fettuccine alfredo, a large “special” pizza a can of flat pop, a cherry lemonade and a flat Diet Coke was $50. Talk about shocked!!! $2.50 for a can of pop and $2.95 for a flat fountain Diet Coke! The kicker was when the waitress brought us a small styrofoam box for 4 slices of a large pizza. When we asked for something that it could actually fit in, she said it was an extra charge. @&$*#!!! You’ve got to be kidding me?!?! I’ve spent less money at Lucky’s in Bay City for 2 on filet mignon and lobster.

That’s when I asked for the manager. She went in back and I heard her talking to someone about “the box” and then she magically returned with a small pizza box. When we said that it wasn’t just about “the box” she claimed that no one was there for us to talk to. Hmmm? If she was the highest up there then why didn’t she just say so? Baffles me.

Then she started a pissing match with my husband. He said that the atmosphere of the restaurant was so dead that he’s had livelyer lunches at the morgue in Detroit, where we’re from. She can back with “I’m from Detroit too and their food sucks!” What the what?!?!

Any whoo...If you want poor service, food that may or may not nauseate you and to be nickeled and dimed, eat here. If your sane and want to get quality and food, go ANYWHERE ELSE! Hell, have a bowl of cereal, it’ll...

I REALLY wish I would have read the reviews on this place before we wasted our time and money there. When we arrived there were 3 other tables seated. 2 of them were already eating and a family of 5 waiting for their food. It took 10 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us, the server had ZERO personality. After our order was placed we waited another 10 minutes to get our drinks. Little did we know that this would be our shortest wait time. My husband ordered an appetizer of calamari and I ordered breadsticks to go with my lasagna. It took a half hour to receive our breadsticks and calamari. The marinara sauce with the breadsticks was disgusting. It was basically watered down tomato sauce with no flavor. I grew up with a Sicilian grandfather who made dishes like his mother did from the old country. So I know I can be picky but this was ridiculous. And it continued to get worse. My son had ordered a personal pizza and we thought we finally saw it come up in the window but we were mistaken it went to the employees and an employee's little girl who was about 4 playing in the restaurant and kicking a ball while customers were eating. That was special. When our dinners finally came out my lasagna while very hot was gross, boiled noodles with that awful tomato sauce and flavorless hamburger. There was no seasoning what so ever. The only thing positive was they put a lot of mozzarella cheese on it. My husband ordered a sub and he said it was good, but that was all his meal had. No pickle or chips or fries included. My son's pizza was actually decent. Good crust. When we got the bill imagine our surprise when it came to $63! It is $3.00 for a glass of pop! $3.00 FREAKING DOLLARS!!!! The food is disgusting, the service is slow, the decor had a lot to be desired and waaaaay overpriced for what you get. We will NEVER come back here again and will let our friends and family know not to waste their time and money as well.

And one last side note. The family that was sitting next to us? Their daughter got sick and vomited in the restaurant, it happens and we sympathized. What makes this noteworthy is that the employees made the parents clean it up before they came out to sanitize the spot and vaccum the area. What restaurant...
