  • False advertising or not?

    Pizza Place advertises "unlimited toppings" deal with a 5 topping limit.

    It also says no double portions.
    So, you can have unlimited as long as it's not over 5 toppings and can only have so much of each topping.

    Oh, and as one of the commentators on the site mentioned... The pic itself shows more than 5 toppings. I saw onion, black olive, mushroom, green pepper, pepperoni, sausage <or beef>.

        Um, hmm.. how can this be possible? The sad part is that it is all clearly stated on the advertisement. Misleading? Definitely and I'm sure this is as much as a 5 topping pizza would cost anyway.

        We've seen time and time again where what is shown doesn't need to be the actual item / product.

          You know, in this case I say it is actually a little false, yes they aren't exactly hiding the fine print but the main point of the ad, the main spot they are looking at clearly says unlimited toppings.
