To a certain pizzeria—I am DONE with you. I’ve never had good service over the years but kept going back because your pizza is good, and I want to support business in my hood, but screw you. There’s loads of great pizza in this city! 3 times this summer I have ordered pizza and 3 times there have been major delays, and you’ve not ever offered an apology let alone a little discount on your expensive food. Oh and your “trained” staff have zero customer service skills, better keep training them. I have not complained ever, tonight I did, and your response was to tell me that I was lying and your staff was right? WTF? None of my family or friends will ever give you business again. Oh and your no substitutions rule is way too pompous and ridiculous. We are done with you. —Mad Momma in the North End

i can guess the pie slingers you speak of, never had those issues myself. you can post comments in the rest. review section
So, they were pissed when you offered to pay with food stamps?
Want perfect pizza that is always ready on time? Make your own.
I’ve had the same issue… and have a boycott on several pizza places.
the last one I ordered from…
I bought a 15 dollar donair…. no joke.
AND I was able to eat it all in one sitting.
that’s fucking ridiculous…
no man under 300 lbs should be able to eat a 15 dollar donair.
hell, most places you can get 3 donairs for that price.
fuckers.
what o.p., you mean they don’t have delivery? would solve half or more of your problems.
OP, speak directly to the manager if you want an official response to your grievances.
“Want perfect pizza that is always ready on time? Make your own.”
I tried that once, and the dumb fucker drank my beer, ate half my pizza and forgot to put the other half in the fridge for me to eat the next day.
Living out here in the boonies…getting a pizza , one doesn’t have much of a choice.
But someone mentioned that I could make pizza crust in my bread maker.
You can.
Its easy & no fuss, my honey & I prefer whole wheat flour, but you can use whatever you like. I use my own sauce from tomato’s & other veggie’s from my garden.
You get the pizza you want, with in my case a nice blend of cheeses. Because mozza alone just isn’t enough IMO.
Even the soup nazi eventually lost business. Customer service is more important than the quality of the food. It’s a big city. There’s more food out there.
sounds like unklefucks
You want to know why that pizza takes so long. Each and every single ingredient on each and every single pizza is made from SCRATCH. Nothing is frozen, or pre-packaged. Want to know why the waiters don’t kiss your ass? They’re cooks, not wait staff, they’re too busy busting their severly under-appreciated humps making you the perfect pie. It’s a tiny place that consistently makes amazing home cooked food using pain stakingly tried and tested recipies. And believe it or not when it comes to good food the customer is not always right. If you want a pie in 15 mins or less packed with frozen veggies shipped in from china call Greco, if you want a gormet pizza that has been made from scratch with love and attention…go the that other North End “pizza joint” – Former Staff
they make the pepperoni and salami from scratch? wow, that’s dedication!
making all the mozzarella in house from scratch takes quite a while….
that would be a very large undertaking for a pizza joint.
no asshole but it is hand grated every single fucking day and does not just get dumped from a big bag of dried out tastless shit. Same for the pepperoni and salami all cut by hand and is the very best quality you’ll find anywhere in the city. Every single ingredient is prepared before it goes onto the pizza…jerk. That’s the issue Halifax is full of pretentious self intitled assholes who like to treat people like slaves if they’re on the clock.
These guys are wasted on pizza, clearly. They need to be at subway with the other artists, angst-ridden and misunderstood to a man. All well and good to starve for your art, but making other people starve for it? Wack.
so they weren’t made from scratch… you liar.
tsk tsk….
cause we all know how hard it is to grate cheese and cut processed meat.
it can take chefs YEARS of practice…. honing their skill at pushing a piece of cheese onto a box grater. Not even mentioning the countless hours of knife skill practice to finely and precisely cut pepperoni into uniform slices.
Some work thier whole lives and never acheive the pinnacle of culinary technique….
of making a fucking pizza.
idiot.
