Pizza Mia — Restaurant in New York

No restaurant should have groups of men in dark clothing approaching cars at night, especially when it puts drivers—particularly women alone—into such a frightening position. Stop doing this to advertise your business.

I’ve never been to this restaurant, so I can’t comment on it. My review is strictly about their shocking and unsafe way of advertising.

The other night (Sunday around 9pm), I was driving down Woodrow Road when three or four men dressed in dark clothing were standing in the middle of the street, trying to flag me down. I could barely see them and had no idea why they would be standing in a line in the middle of the road. I had to swerve into the opposite lane just to avoid them. Unfortunately, I got stuck at a red light shortly after.

That’s when they started approaching my car from behind. As a woman alone at night, I was terrified. I inched my car forward, debating if I should risk running the light, but there was too much traffic. I was screaming at them as they approached my car to get away from my car but they still kept coming closer. Their response? “We have a menu.”

Even as I was yelling and clearly distressed, they didn’t stop. One of them even got close enough to stick a menu into my rear window. That means they ignored me screaming the entire time.

This is an incredibly unsafe and inappropriate way to advertise. No restaurant should have groups of men in dark clothing approaching cars at night, especially when it puts drivers—particularly women alone—into such a frightening position. It is a known thing that this is how a trafficking scenario plays out. I would have to be an idiot to roll down my window for a group of men as a women in the car alone at night. Please stop doing this. Maybe do something a little safer for those guys in the middle of the road, like...

My partner and I had business nearby so we parked outside and left for about 30 minutes with the intention of coming back for a slice. What we came back to was our car defaced with a sticker on the window claiming we were parked illegally (not filled out, probably ordered from amazon) and two people (presumably the owners) outside sitting in chairs looking smugly. They decided to confront us, asking if we were stupid and if we thought the parking lot was for general use. (There are multiple businesses that share the lot) and claimed it was their parking lot and not to park there. Needless to say, with the attitude of the owners and the frankly dilapidated look of the building, we decided not to give them any business. If this is how you decide to treat potential customers, it doesn't matter how good...

I have ordered here many times but never will again. The customer service gets a zero really but google doesn’t give that option. Ordered an order of garlic knots as a quick treat on the way home from work. I tried to use a card because I genuinely had no cash with me. The ATTITUDE of the man who I believe is the manager or owner was so unnecessary. Typical Staten Island man who just overreacted and was disgusted as I attempted to use a card “no way. $10 minimum.” While I know many will think I’m overreacting it was just the tone and whole interaction. Especially after explaining I genuinely had no cash. These places with their credit card policies need to catch up with the times. I will no longer return there. Happy F** Holidays. Certainly no Christmas...
