Went out for pizza tonight and I wasn't happy. What are your thoughts on this?

Half the toppings seem to be missing. When I said something they didn't see a problem. What are your thoughts on this? Would you accept it?

@Quimliqer It does look a little skimpy.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Quimliqer @Spoiledbrat Yes they are and yes it was. ☹️

There can be no greater injustice than skimpy toppings on pizza. Especially that lack of pepperoni. 😩

I wouldn’t make a scene but probably wouldn’t go back there again. Unless it was some dopey kid serving me. Then I might give them another chance and hope for better customer service. Or did you speak to the manager?
Musicman · 61-69, M
@OlderSometimesWiser I am actually regular there and have been for 15 years. My waitress saw nothing wrong with it. The head waitress walked by and asked how everything was as I am a regular who always tips well. When I told her the problem and she looked at the pizza she went and talked to the manager. I got 40% off the bill.
@Musicman Smart head waitress. Never a good idea to piss off customers, especially regular customers. That’s why I thought it may just be your server. Sometimes they’re not tuned into/don’t care about that piece of common sense.

@OlderSometimesWiser About Six years ago the original owner retired. The cooks bought the business. The first thing they did was fire all the waitresses and hire a bunch of Latino girls who can barely speak English. That move cost them a lot of business. They are just now starting to build it back up.

Whoever put that pizza together has a serious case of "I don't give a #!@%". I'd send it back and ask for toppings spread evenly over the pizza and MORE toppings.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Ontheroad I actually wanted a remake. Sadly my waitress didn't see a problem with it. Fortunately at the end of the evening the head waitress came by and said hi as I am a regular. She was the one who made it right.
Ontheroad · M
@Musicman being a regular does help, but if the staff doesn't see the problem, I'd probably start going elsewhere.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Ontheroad Sadly it's looking like time to find a new place. ☹️
Would the ninja turtles?
Musicman · 61-69, M
@TryingtoLava Whip their ass and tell them to make it right? I sure hope so. They told me they didn't see anything wrong with it.
When the dough rises while baking large bubbles can be created and the toppings kind of slide down, leaving that part of the crust bare. It might have been topped properly in the first place, but they didn't bother popping the bubbles while it baked
In search of a slice, oh so fine,
But the toppings, they failed to align.
Half missing, no jest,
Customer distress,
For a full pizza, I did pine!

There is no sense in that but these days some workers just don’t care and maybe the owner told them to cut back on toppings. This is the type of thing that motivated me to learn how to make my own pizzas and other foods.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Musicman Massaman curry is probably one of the easiest dishes to make. I like curry with coconut milk as a base.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@cherokeepatti I don't know that I have ever had Curry.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Musicman It’s one of the milder curries, you can tell them if you want it with more heat.
Heck no that is blasphemy. When they fudge on anything, that is unacceptable. Refund please 🥺
fun4us2b · M
Looks like too much yeast in the crust or something....ask them if they heard of Yelp!
Are those advertisements on the table ?
@Spoiledbrat Yes, they're common throughout iowa and other states.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Spoiledbrat Yes they are. Businesses actually pay good money to have their advertisement put on the tables.
Plasticbag · 100+, M
Jeez they didn’t even put cheese on it properly
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Plasticbag No they didn't.
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
I sure looks like they missed some toppings….but why did you eat half of it before complaining?

They might have taken issue with that point?
How did they react to your complaint? Did they replace it for you?
Musicman · 61-69, M
@ImpeccablyImperfect I did complain when it came out. My waitress said she didn't see a problem with it. Then she avoided me the rest of the evening. It took the head waitress walking by to care enough to do something about it. I have been a regular customer there for years.
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
@Musicman damn….well I’m glad the head waitress finally did something for you 😣 Service isn’t what it used to be, is it??
Musicman · 61-69, M
@ImpeccablyImperfect No it's not! It makes it really bad when I have been a regular there for 15 years.
Not for a half of a pizza. But those two slices don't have toppings. That I would complain about.
@Musicman They could at least give you a credit as you're not satisfied. And the pizza does seem to be low on toppings.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Spoiledbrat The head waitress got me 40% off.
Oh, that's good. @Musicman
SageWanderer · 70-79, M
I’m thinking a Yelp review is in order. And a definite delete on my go to list.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@SageWanderer The only reason I'll give them another chance is I have been a regular for 15 years.
SageWanderer · 70-79, M
@Musicman I see by other comments the head waitress recognized you as a regular and at least gave a discount. In that case I’d give them another chance.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@SageWanderer Yes she did. One more chance is it though. Tonight blew me away. It definitely wasn't right and my waitress saw nothing wrong with it. 😠
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
That’s totally unacceptable even for a bar or bowling alley / pool hall pie.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@AthrillatheHunt I agree.
jackieash · 26-30
Looks a real rip off. And they have a bad attitude too, by the look of it
Musicman · 61-69, M
@jackieash Correct on all accounts.
Nebula · 41-45, F
I would just eat it because I think it's terrible to waste food.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Nebula I brought the part you see in the picture home. I'll put the toppings and cheese on myself. I am definitely not wasting it. It's just sad that I have to do their job for them.
InHeaven · F
…someone ate the toppings on the way or they made it that way in a rush 🤔🤔🤔
MrsMONAKanful · 36-40, F
You ate half of it what makes us sure you didn’t pick off the toppings
amy02 · 22-25, F
Sad pizza 😢
Musicman · 61-69, M
@amy02 Yes it was. 😢
Confined · 56-60, M
I see peperoni. :-)
iamnikki · 31-35, F
Not sure if this is a joke because...half the pizza appears to have been eaten
Musicman · 61-69, M
@iamnikki those were the best 3 slices. There still shouldn't be three slices with no toppings. That was just wrong!
Lilymoon · F
The topping slice looks good 😛
Quimliqer · 70-79, M
Thank you for BC!!
Azlotto · M
[quote]Would you accept it?
[/quote]

I would not.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Azlotto No. I definitely complained. My waitress said she didn't see a problem. Then she avoided me the rest of the evening.
Azlotto · M
@Musicman I would be ashamed to serve that...I take pride in my work but sadly a lot of people these days do not.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Azlotto I completely agree with you. I would never have served that if I was them.
Lilnonames · F
not me id say give me what i order i buy and take a pic and call courparite
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Lilnonames It was a mom and pop. This is their only location. The head waitress talked to them and got me 40% off.
MethDozer · M
Looks fine. It just bubbled
I hate to say this Dear Friend, but as a former food service manager You should have said something right away, because some slices are missing from the pan, they won't take your complaint as serious.
@Musicman New owners?
Musicman · 61-69, M
@NativePortlander1970 Yes. The owner retired and sold it to the cooks about five years ago.
