Papa Mario's Pizza

VEGETARIANS BE ADVISED: Their pizza is good, dont usually order the turnovers, I live close very close and the turnovers arrived on the lukewarm side and they are mostly just dough w very little ingredients, so ask for extra sauce on side if you like yer turnover to not be on drier side..Truly its mostly bread but The dough is tasty lol..That wasn't my main issue after eating the dough corner and finally getting into the bit of cheese and sauce i noticed some spongy chunks that looked weird.. I had to call to confirm that i saw meat in my turnover, they said it was my fault for not specifiying any food allergies as their sauces are meat... I'm sorry but since when do most pizza places use meat sauce for plain items... meat is usually extra... so the fact they told me its very common is disturbing to me. Its what i get for assuming plain pizza turnover doesnt have beef though....I digress if you are vegetarian then you most likely consumed some very small beef bits if you ate their sauces and especially if you made the mistake of assuming plain equals no meat.They said they never gotten a complaint about their sauces before and I was the very first. Well, maybe because If you werent paying attention you couldnt really tell you were consuming meat as the bits were very tiny, im glad i caught it before really eating the turnover.I really feel they should specify sauces arent vegetarian friendly, or allergn friendly if they are other than plain sauces...but I get its at their discretion but most people are probably in the same.boat as me thinkingg its meatless and consuming it unwittingly. Please dont make my mistake.

Update: they gave refund and free pizza which was appreciated. Again their pizza is good but i didnt appreciate eating meat after 26 yrs and basically being told We are sorry for "your" mistake and kinda like an "oh well" vibes. Still leaves me a bit sour...but at least they tried to be somewhat sympathetic...

Their Pizza sauce has no meat(allegedly).. marinara has meat. Just as an fyi... for any veggies or allergic peeps

Otherwise stick to their pizza cause its a safer tastier option.

I'm on the fence about giving a 3 star ratinglol... i feel badbecause the pizza is good but the rest of the experience was a little meh. And the owners comments on some of these reviews leaves me feelin like im about to be attacked for being a tiddle disappointed and an honest experience w service not just this time but a few other times( slow delivery, one time it took 3 hours to get my delivery, the woman apologized because she didnt know where she was going as she wasnt actually the delivery driver and they were apparently short staffed and had other priorities to attend to, i still tipped her well but an apology for a 3 hr late delivery is kinda a joke, i had to call to see where they were 3 times. She just kept saying shes trying to get to get to me but i took it instride.... the garlic knots are huge but mostly undercooked esp in the middle its just straight uncooked dough, could have been a one off tho as i never ordered it again)... just little isolated incidences that I let slide cause the ppl are so nice there and their location is super convienent. I hate to be a bother so i normally wouldnt complain.... this review is strictly a PSA for non beefeaters...and a suggestion to papas to maybe be a little more transparent with ingredients, so average consumer knows what they are getting themselves into. Especially if they say they are proud of their fresh ingredients and homemade sauce.... they could easily say " our turnover is made w our famous meat sauce..cause its not common I'll be more.cautious and inquisitive for future pizza places as well. 🤷‍ Everyone ive spoken to has been appalled for me because they never heard of pizza sauce being made w meat.
