Three hour pizza and you want me to pay?

[Sofar]

In my neighborhood, there is a good Domino's, and there is a bad Domino's. Good Domino's bakes a nice, floppy pizza with even distribution of cheese and minimal bubbles, and they have a seven dollar carry-out special Mondays Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Bad Domino's gives us these strange things nearly two inches thick with almost no sauce, and they don't bother to pop the bubbles, with that kinda fork tied to a stick that y'all use. Plus they have issues with their drivers, never showin' up, claiming they knocked on the door real hard and got bit by the dog we don't have. Unfortunately Domino's Incorperated decided to rearrange the maps and now Good Domino's won't deliver to anyone beyond the ship canal. I called them and they said "You have to call this Domino's." And I'm all like "But they suck!" And they're all like "We know."

Oh well, plenty of Mom and/or Pop pizzerias from which to order.

Let's see small collage town - one religous based in the south - the other a state collage . . . in the state of Arkansas . . . .
The Domino's got closed down three times during my nine months at that school. The first time - if you ordered your pizza a specific way during particular shifts you wouldn't get a pizza - you would get a "baggie" with herbal goodness. The second was health code related . . .the third no one wanted to work for the newest owners.

We have two Round Tables in the area that I've been two.

One of them (the closer) is some of the best pizza I've had outside of a really good mom'n'pop. It's expensive, but it's worth it.

The other dispenses pizza that tastes and feels like a circle of cardboard topped with a bit of tomato soup, and that cheeeese from that one commercial; you know, the stuff that was in a can and bounced around the counter once it was free.

I LOVE pizza bubbles!!

Best pizza on earth= Rocky Rococco
Worst= Papa John's, although I found that any take-and-bake is kinda gross, too.

Blech, Dominos. I prefer Pizza Hut. Their pan pizza is teh yums. The only beef I have with Pizza Hut, is when I order online, I have to call them and tell them no sauce (Im allergic) whereas if I order from Papa Johns, I can choose a different sauce or no sauce at all.

Oh, and Papa Murphys ftw.

Nope... not going there. Walking away. See me? Walking away. Yep. Not getting defensive.... now to refill the fire-extinguisher from putting out that flame. WHY I got insulted that you hate my job's pizza is beyond me... must have caught that weird virus... what's the name... oh yes... company loyalty

Seriously, I think it's pretty good, but we DO use a sauce that's way different from the other places I've eaten.

Darn you all, now I want a pizza! Thankfully I've never had any problems like what you all have said with pizza. I live in a small town, but we have 4 pizzerias.

3 mom & pops and Pizza Hut. The only mom & pop we order from has like 1 hour + delivery times because they have one driver and he's the owner.

Town next to us opened a new chain called Voccelli's. It's so good.
Only bad Pizza I've had is "Best Pizza & Subs" and "Pizza Boli's"

Hm, the pizza place round here deliver to student halls all the time. Must be a Yankee thing.

I don't eat 'normal' pizza, I love the Pizza Bianca stuff that you'll have to ask the chef very nicely to make for you. You get it EVERYWHERE in Italy, even in that cool little café outside the Vatican Museum entrance...just never in England.

So when we order from PH, I fill up on sides...

That's odd. Pizza Hut, as part of their form, has an option for no sauce. And you can include a note at the bottom explaining about the allergy. Do they just not follow the order?

I once accidentally ordered a no-cheese pizza. I had meant to choose double, but clicked the wrong option. Before calling to complain, I checked the order history, and then had to face-palm. Even without the cheese, it was still pretty good. Strange, but good.

I generally like Pizza Hut's thin crust but the Pizza Hut's around here run their ovens too hot which cooks the top and bottom but leaves the middle pure dough.

I'm actually a Papa John's fan. When I moved in to my new place (this was 2 years ago, mind) they had just moved into a nearby strip mall. I can order online, and they always are early with the delivery, and my pizza is always super fresh. I'm starting to think that they know who I am though--it's usually the same delivery guy, who laughs at me because I'm usually in my PJ's at noon when he comes--hey, I work nights!

I've ordered Domino's and Pizza Hut a few times, when I've had too much PJ's or want a change, and had crap luck with both. Papa John's is the only chain that ever remembers my drinks, brings the correct drinks and is timely. Both D and PH were slow, forgot my drinks or brought me the wrong thing, and all their drivers seem to be either WAY too talkative or kind of creepy/stare-y.

And in response to the OP--I know the feeling. It's a sad day when customers are so sucky that those of us good, honest people are getting cheated when something crappy happens. I'm just sick of paying for a 2 liter I never got, having to call a shop to find the online order I got a confirmation email for was "never received" or waiting way too long for a cold pizza.

I still CS.com love you, though.

While I suppose it's good that the manager would back up her driver (most take the customer's word, no matter how unlikely their story), she's got to know that no driver would hand over food before being paid.

There aren't many rules for delivering food, but one is ALWAYS keep possession of the food until you're holding the customer's money. (The other rule is NEVER step inside the customer's house -- that's a safety thing.)

If a customer ever took the food but refused to pay -- which is what this driver claims -- I'd call 911 before calling my manager. And I wait out front of the customer's house until the cops arrived. Every driver would do the same.

That's why this managers sounds clueless. First her store screws up the order twice. Second, she's dumb enough to believe her driver's story that the customer took the food without paying -- and then he didn't call the cops.

I'm a fan of DoubleDaves' myself.


Peproni rolls - yummy!


p.s. If there isn't a DoubleDave's, I prefer the Pan from Pizza Hut, or the reqular crust meat supreme(? the special with all the meat toppings on it) from Dominoe's
