Read moreTwo times we have ordered from this location, never again.
The first time we called they immediately hung the phone up. Called back, they hung up. Called back again a woman answers...after placing the order it literally took over an hour to be delivered. We called, they immediately hung up when they answered. Called back the woman answered and said they tried to deliver, but the house said they didn’t order food. Obviously tried to deliver to the wrong house. So they sent out the order again which took long too. They did not charge us and gave us free cookies because it literally took close to 2 hours to get the actually order we originally ordered.
Second time we placed the order the woman on the phone was by far the least people person ever with zero manners. Our order of 2 large pepperoni pizzas were delivered about 50 minutes later, or half of our order and along with someone else’s order. Luckily we were able to catch the driver before she left and gave her “Nicole’s” (the random order we received) pizza hat she delivered. She said she was sorry and would go get our other pizza.
About 20-25 minutes our other pizza arrived with a free 2 liter of Pepsi...we don’t drink soda so no thanks. Now our guest and us have 1 warm and 1cold pizza. Not to mention it seems like the second pizza wasn’t even completely done because they may have rushed it out for second delivery. I called and complained and asked how they could make it right and the lady with zero people skills said she couldn’t because the pizza was delivered, and no credit could be issued because the manager is delivering pizzas. Obviously they don’t know a manager needs to be in the store to actually...
Read moreI ordered food from this location via doordash. When my pizza and chicken arrived, the pizza looked like someone threw it in a car. I assumed it was the dasher until I looked at the chicken. The chicken was cold and barely had sauce on it. The box also looked smashed. We ate a slice of pizza and it was absolutely disgusting. The cheese tasted weird and it wasn't completely done. I looked back at when I placed my order and when they stated it had been picked up, and there is no way they took their time and made fresh food. I believe they either dropped the box of pizza or just threw old pizza in a box and threw old chicken in a box. But after seeing how smashed the box was, I truly believe they purposely dropped, undercooked, smashed and served cold disgusting food. Myself and my son immediately had upset stomachs and we're in the bathroom. You all charge an insane amount of money via doordash to have food that literally made us sick. It was so bad that I received extra money from doordash based on the pics I sent. I'm sure it doesn't matter to you, but I will never order from this location again. And after the trama of getting sick, I doubt I will ever order from Donatos in general. Do better and train your...
