We called placed order at 5:30 for 2 pizzas. Hour later we see them drive past our house. We flash the light, he keeps going. My husband calls, speaks to a woman, tells her they just drove by.

The location is really appreciative of service members, I never even asked to see if they had a discount for service members, yet when I pulled out my card to pay, they halted me immediately and started to look for a discount to give me before I paid. They also surely love to groove at this location. When preparing the orders, they're turning it up and just making it groovy inside, almost as if you just pulled...
