Alright, if you’re reading this, congratulations! You’re one of the elite few who reads restaurant reviews, which means you probably also read shampoo bottle instructions just to feel something. Welcome, friend. You’re in for a treat.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Why review a chain restaurant? The pizza tastes the same from New York to Timbuktu.” And normally, you’d be right. But this location? Oh-ho-ho, this one’s special. Not for the taste, mind you—the pizza was fine (more on that later)—but for the sheer heroic journey it took to arrive.
You see, I live a whopping 2.6 miles away. Not 26. Not 260. Just 2.6. Yes, I know, practically a Lewis and Clark expedition. But I figured, “Hey, we’ve got planes, trains, and self-driving cars now. Surely, a pizza can navigate this perilous terrain.” You’d think this would be a hop, skip, and a pepperoni toss. But no. Apparently, my pizza had to embark on its own “Eat, Pray, Love” journey to “find itself” before it could find me. I watched the Pizza Tracker like it was a season finale of my favorite show. It just sat there. No updates. No progress. I began to question my life choices. I aged. I became a wiser, more patient man.
After 93 minutes, the doorbell finally rings. At this point, I wasn’t even hungry anymore. I was simply invested in the narrative arc. Did it actually show up? Would it still be warm? Would I recognize myself after all this time? Was this a metaphor for something larger in my life?? I felt like I’d been reunited with a long-lost family member. I opened the box and… it’s a pizza. Warm-ish. Tired. You could see it had been through something. We both had. I swear it looked up at me like, “You wouldn’t believe the day I’ve had.
The pizza was… fine. Warm-ish. Delicious-ish. Honestly, I think it would have tasted better if I hadn’t been through all five stages of grief before it arrived. I’m just saying, if you’re going to put a “Pizza Tracker” on the website, maybe throw in a feature that says, “Hey, maybe go watch a movie, champ—this is gonna be a while.” That would be helpful.
In the end, I got my pizza. And yeah, the pizza was fine. But after an odyssey like that, I didn’t want fine. I wanted a life lesson. I wanted closure. I wanted a sense of purpose. What I got was warm-ish cheese and a...
Read moreI ordered pizza today and I am outraged at the customer service by the person who delivered my pizza as well as the manager or supervisor I spoke with over the phone. Now I understand that they are doing contactless delivery. I stay in an apartment building right in front of the steps so I was unable to set a chair out for them to place the pizza on so they sat it on the nasty floor in front of my apartment, without knocking, without a phone call, without even ringing the door bell. If he would have atleast knocked I could have opened the door and he could have sat the pizza on the chair I had ready right in front of my door after it was opened!!! I called and spoke with the manager and he wouldn’t refund me all my money back and had a very nasty attitude! Who wants to eat pizza that has been on the floor!!!!! I will never order pizza from this place...
Read moreOrdered thin crust pizza half veggie have pepperoni and onion. Told 15 min. Gone 20 minutes. Return to get pizza. Pizza just put in oven. Told have wait additional minutes. I asked them to make sure my pizza edges were not burnt. Response was I don’t know if I will be here to check. They take out early not burnt was not the correct crust. I was asked by the person who told he runs the place who I talked with about my order when I placed it. I pointed out the person. He had strange look on face and apologized. Did offer to remake or take the one that was prepared. I didn’t have time to wait so I took the pizza with the wrong crust. This is why only 3 stars. Haven’t tried pizza yet. My review may change. Unfortunately my spouse will not get the thin crust i ordered. I’m home eating pizza even though not correct crust it...
