Bullpen The Bar & Gelsosomo's Pizzeria Schererville — Restaurant in Schererville

Place is ok, it’s 5mins from home since I stay in Dyer but I do not like the unethical practices they do, read some reviews where they did it to others as well. Got my bill and realized that the server automatically added a 20% tip. It was only 3 of us and nowhere is it stated on the door, menus etc that they add 20% tip to all tabs. Now being that it’s basically a bar we would have tipped 20% or more anyway but to just add it anyway seems sketchy. I was going to say something but it was late, I was drinking and I was ready to go home. But the next day I woke up early with a clearer head and immediately thought about that added gratuity. Realizing how this server may be doing this to others, assuming they have had a few drinks and therefore taking advantage of them in a tipsy drunken state. I will be looking further into this and calling management because the more and more I think it’s simply wrong.so check your bill and make sure they aren’t adding their own gratuity on parties less than 6 (I did look on the website and it does state, party of 6 or greater). Clearly my husband, son and me is not 6 people.

Edit: so I spoke to management (Sorsha) and was informed that they give the servers the “option” to add gratuity to “certain” patrons bill. I informed her that what she is saying is unlawful and that her saying that she allows her servers to profile customers and pick and chose who they want to “sneak” in their bill an automatic gratuity. If I didn’t notice my husband was about to tip $25 in cash. I will try to contact the owner “Nico” and if no response will be disputing the bill for gratuity that they added unlawfully. Watch out for this place because the only distinguishing difference between my family and the others was race. I hate to go there but what else could it be if they clearly say they only add gratuity on parties of 6 or more but yet it was 3 professional black people hanging out over a stressful day...

I don’t really leave negative reviews, but this was so exceptionally bad I had to.

I ordered the barbecue chicken pizza and the taco pizza, craving a little something different than a standard pepperoni. The chicken pizza was dry as a bone, with more onion than chicken and absolutely no barbecue sauce or ounce of flavor. The onion had a weird, off-putting taste too—no delicious caramelization, and no freshness—just a watered down flavor that was made worse by its overly fibrous texture. The bits of chicken didn’t add any life to the party. They were tasteless. Beside the onion, all that came through was the almost sour grease roiling off that smelly cheese.

The taco pizza was somehow worse. The beef the pizza was stuffed with was so bland it had me wondering if it had been cooked in water instead, or maybe piped out of a sous vide bag. Like, it had that flat, meaty taste you might get in a salt free beef broth, or maybe dog food—utterly deplorable. The stuffed crust was full of globby cheese that was also somehow flavorless while tasting of that same rancid oil. The rest of the crust was plain and on the slightly burnt end of done. The olives and jalapeños it was topped with were fresh from the jar, doing so much more harm than good for the overall taste of the pie.

I didn’t think I would ever hate a pizza in my life, but here I am. Family agreed, and we tossed it in time for garbage day. I am never burning $50 on this...

I had a bad experience the second time I came and I will never come back. The waitress was rude with a attitude and being racist to us, she told my boyfriend in order for us to get our drinks, she has to hold his card in order to get drinks we told her that's never happened when we came the first time and it never happened at a bar period and she says to us have you ever been to a bar. She still brings our drinks anyway after we told another waitress that took care of us the first time we came that we dont want our drinks, we just want our card back and go. She was so rude with a attitude so we asked to speak with a manager so while my boyfriend tries to explain to the manager about what happen, the lady comes back and say they still have to pay for the drinks even though they don't want it with a attitude the manager says we can have our card back so the waitress throws the card at us and tells us to never come back again Trust and believe I will neverrr come back and that was the first time I experience something like that...
