So I live in Dartmouth(downtown). I ordered a Pizza from this Downtown Pizza Place up by the Dartmouth Shopping Center. I waited an hour for a Pizza that was suppose to be here in 45mins. I was working a 14hour day, looking forward to my Bacon Double CheeseBurger Pizza for 13.49. Easy Cheese, add Mushroom. The order arrived. I gladly tipped the driver 5dollars as I enjoy this Pizza very much. I walk it to the kitchen and a horrible odur came from the Box. It had extra cheese, PLUS HOT PEPPERS, with NO mushrooms. I called them back and fought with the man. I diplomatically told him the error and asked if he could send a new one out. Assuming it was their mistake he would send it out right away, expediate it through faster. Alas he informed me it was the right pizza, it came with hot peppers, I said it did not as I had had it 3 times already this week. He said do you have a menu, I said YES and it isnt listed as an ingredient. He said he could give me a credit for the Pizza. I asked him what I was to eat tonight. He said he could send me a new pizza in 45mins to an HOUR. I mentioned to him that this is unexceptable. Why couldnt I be placed ontop and send out my order first. He said it was a Friday night. He said I could walk there and pick it up if i wanted. I told him that was unacceptable. We decided to let it go at that. I called back 2 minutes later, saying to him I wanted my 20dollars back and I would wait the 45mins for my money and I would never call back. The driver then got on the phone and said he would drive one down as soon as its out of the oven. I agreed to this. I was quoted 30mins. Well Lesson Learned. I am not sure. Am I weary of eating this pizza, YES. I warn you all. Enjoy the slice….

Hey, what’s up with the actual name of the place being in the bitch? I want to be able to make libelous statements about businesses too!
I like hot peppers on my pizza.
Try them, you might like them too.
Plus, I have noticed in my short span of time on this planet, that the saying “Hunger makes the best sauce” is so true & if you couldn’t eat that pizza, or pick off the peppers & eat it, you actually weren’t very hungry, because if you were, you would have eaten it while complaining about it !
Yeah! Hot peppers on pizza! The only thing I don’t like is when they don’t drain them before they put’em on.
I’m guessing the editor doesn’t know there’s a place actually named that in the DSC. When I lived near there, I never had any problems. Maybe a bad, busy night?
“There’s a pizza joint from Boston…”
Hot peppers, green olives and pineapple. Heat, salt and sweetness. Mmm!
Are you preggers, HKM?
You had pizza four times in one week?
Pizza is the world’s most perfect food, grains, meats, fruits and vegetables, and dairy.
I love pizza. I could eat it 4 times a week!
Bro tim, that is only partially true.
You have to stay away from garbage meats like peperoni, salami, etc. maybe ham or lean burger, pre cooked bacon so the pizza isn’t loaded with grease. You’ve also got to watch out for too much salt, but with veggies & I like more than 1 type of cheese…but yeah, if you use the right ingredients, pizza is a very good food.
Those frozen International Pizza’s go over well in my house… the spinach on multigrain thin crust with the white sauce instead… mmmm. Chicken Marinara… yummy and comparatively cheap if you must, like me, eat pizza again and again and again.
“unexceptable”?
unacceptable ?
Although getting preggers comes from hot, salty sweetness, nope, I just like balance of flavours ; )
Something about hot peppers and cheese or is it “food you can feel”… I agree, HKM! Pizza is something that should be “experienced”.
great, now I have to get pizza for supper…again. Thanks for making me drool guys.
HA HKM!!!!!!!!!
HKM, you have excellent taste; pineapple, hot pepper and green olive pizza is my favourite too.
Yes, Matthew, my cherry has now been taken–I have made a sexual innuendo over something as mundane as pizza = ).
That’s a pretty cruddy pizza experience, OP; Hope you fare better next time you order someplace.
BTW, it’s actually a lot of fun making pizza yourself, too. Especially when you make it a group thing and each make individual pizzas with weird custom toppings. 🙂
A pizza orgy? (I’m on a roll.)
PDGuy: neither did I, they were always fab when I ordered.
I totally stepped right into that one, HKM. 🙂
I can remember the days I would have a big slice every workday.. my 4pm meal.
lost tons of weight to… though I accredit that to eating 6 meals a day and walking everywhere. just goes to show you can have yummy food and still stay fit.
ps. I’m a ultimate meat-lovers guy.
