Mini Rant #4 Pizza Woes

Well, let's get the year 2011 started right with a mini rant!

"If I can remove a pepperoni, that has no cheese on top of it, and I find no cheese beneath it, then I did NOT get extra cheese like I wanted!" - DV

Ordered me some Papa John's tonight. I shall present you with...

Exhibit A


Here's the first pizza I got tonight. There's a difference between thin and regular crust pizza, but you sure couldn't tell from this mess. In case you wanted to know, this was supposed to be the "Papa's Favorite" pizza. That involves pepperoni, sausage, cheese, and special seasoning. IN ADDITION to those ingredients, I added extra pepperoni, extra cheese, and extra sauce. This is nowhere CLOSE to what I usually get.

They've done such a good job for such a long time with me that this came as such a surprise. Let me fill you in on how much I ordered from them.

For the last three years I've taken advantage of their monday Raven's special. Here's how it works. For every touchdown the Ravens got on a Sunday you get one free toping for a 10 dollar pizza. If they won you got double toppings. the last three years have been pretty good for the Ravens, and in turn, pretty good for me...

But now I gotta deal with some lazy cook that wants to be stingy with ingredients. And what makes it worse is how they handle complaints. Ten minutes on hold and I'm instructed to not eat the pizza and to give it back when my second pizza is delivered...

1 hour later: My second pizza arrives and the driver tells me to throw away the first pizza. For all that I could have just ate some instead of starving waiting for the second pizza! But now i present you with...

Exhibit B



I was completely caught off guard with the weight of this pizza. It was HEAVY!! Looking at it, you can tell that this was made by someone who was pissed off that they had to make a second pizza because of how poor a job they did the first time. After a good scolding from a supervisor they dumped the entire tray of cheese on dough and ran a pizza cutter over it like a blind person would... but then that would be insulting to a blind person... Accuracy aside I don't blame them for making sure this one met my expectations but I know for a fact that they have all kinds of measuring tools to tell them how much to put on the pizza. Do it right the first time and there will be no problems from me.

And I know there are people that probably try to get free pizzas by complaining but lets look at the records. I haven't had to complain in over a year and I've been a customer over 5 years so why not take my word that there is a legitimate problem and not try to play games by assuming I wanted a second pizza for free. That's why they acted like they wanted the first pizza...

*sigh* Papa John, what happened? You usually got better game than this. Maybe your trying to get Flacco to switch to you from Pizza Hut by sending the message that you can be just as accurate as him...

Well after 2 slices im done with this monster so I'm about to get my workout in putting the rest in the fridge. See ya next blog...
