Well, well, well...where do I start? You know how in a thrilling movie there's always that heart-stopping scene that keeps you on the edge of your seat, unsure of the outcome? That's exactly what my Tuesday evening was like at Pocono Pizza & Eatery!
Allow me to set the scene: I had my trio of pizza masterpieces ordered via the Slice App: one tantalizing BBQ Chicken Pizza, one decked-out Supreme Pizza, and the Tuesday special deal of a Large Plain Pizza with the added bonuses of 8 Garlic Knots and 8 Wings - all for a steal at $19.88. It was shaping up to be a culinary heist that would leave Danny Ocean in awe.
I was scheduled to pull off my pickup at 6:43 PM, and like a punctual pizza pirate, I arrived a few minutes ahead of the game. Two out of three pizzas and those scrumptious wings? Check. But then, my fellow foodies, the plot thickened...
My garlic knots were MIA! For a heart-stopping 25 minutes, I was held captive by the mystery of the missing garlic knots. All the while, my taste buds were held hostage by the mouthwatering aroma of the pizzas tickling my senses. I mean, who needs a gym when you can sweat it out in a pizza suspense thriller?
Through a twist of fate, I got to witness the entire drama unfold before my very eyes. The careful prep, the suspenseful baking, and the triumphant packaging up of the late but great garlic knots.
Here's the twist though - I was led to believe that my order would be up in a jiffy. So a word to the wise, Pocono Pizza, a little bit of communication goes a long way. A simple "Hang tight, your knots are getting their golden glow on" would have added a nice touch to the suspenseful soirée.
Once back at the ranch, the food was met with rave reviews. It was a pizza party for the books, and even the garlic knots made a grand entrance that would make a Hollywood starlet blush. All's well that ends well, right?
So there you have it, folks. Delicious food, unexpected suspense, and a lesson in communication. Four out of five stars for Pocono Pizza & Eatery – because even though they left us 'knotty' in knots, they sure did deliver on flavor! Next time, just keep us posted about the garlic knot...
Read moreBefore you guys come here, make sure you drive out. This is the worst stop. You can make in the worst mistake. You can make make sure you guys skip this pizza place. It is just terrible. Came in to pick up wings. They literally dumped cold barbecue on top of wings. The wings are old and smell like they been expired or something old lady with gray hair sitting there is very rude. There is no air conditioning the wings smell putrid. I suggest you guys do not purchase them. The pizza ordered extra cheese. There was not even standard on the pizza, and it was burnt and there is illegal immigrants working there and the woman with gray hair is threatening them stand and work there I did not know if this is some type of joke but I just paid $40 and the food was not even worth five just threw it out and I am very upset in contacting my bank just you guys do not eat here and don’t go...
Read moreI cannot believe how rude their customer service is. We called to place an order and thinking that they delivered since they said on their menu that they do we gave them our address. (We are right off of 903 maybe 10 minutes away.) They said they don't deliver that far and HUNG UP on me!
I called back to tell them that I could come pick it up if it was an issue and the lady was so rude and told me that she already ripped up our ticket (after taking our credit card number,) and then told me there's nothing she could do for me and hung up AGAIN.
I was really hoping we would have a good pizza place up here that actually delivered but instead they just treat their customers like that. It's a shame. I would recommend going to one of the local places that actually cares about the community members and support their business since they've been here...
