So we call up to order a pizza, they tell us the special is 1 large 1-topping with free cinisticks and a one liter drink for 11.xx. Ok, we said. 1/2 hour later the delivery guy calls and says to meet him outside. I said, well, I ordered delivery, you can come to my door. No, he said, there's nowhere to park. (didnt pizza delivery people patent the "blink and run upstairs" technique?

) So Im waiting outside talking to the storeowner below me about this asshole delivery driver, and the guy walks by RIGHT when im saying that. Whoops! :eek:


Anyways, I paid for it and then realized that the drink and cinisticks were nowhere to be found. We call up and they said, well you didnt order that. And we went round and round on how we were promised the drink and the cinisticks, so we should recieve them. Nope, the manager says, you'll have to pay for them, basically calling us a liar.

So I called corporate. :cool: Told them about it and they said they'll send out a "dinner on us" coupon good for a pizza and 4 drinks next time we order from that store. AND they have to call and apologize for being such bitches. :D

It would be in your best interest never to order from that location ever again.

Yet again, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. :D

It amazes me how much more pleasant things are when you are an assertive customer and not a doormat.

Good job.

I always pick up my order from Domino's because when you pick up you get a free pizza for every pizza you buy. :)

Neither Pizza Hut nor Dominos will deliver to me. Why? Because I don't have a home phone line... only a cell phone. Really sucks, but I just order from Papa Johns or go without pizza. Papa John's online ordering is sweet.

Papa John's pizza is better anyway IMO so I'd say you aren't missing out on anything.

LOL, yes that's true ! what's also true is that we order pizza 1x per week, and for superbowl , son's
b/day etc, for over the past 5 yrs. I am always pleasant when I order and nice if I need to call back because there was a problem, I also always tip well , no "extra" nasty toppings on my food, in fact there's often an extra order of wings or an extra pizza sent out to us :)

I would certainly not want to order from that location again. Not only the delivery guy, but also the manager probably hold a grudge over this, and you might discover that the anchovies on your pizza are really nose boogers.

Corporate CSR was an absolute gem, very nice and he knew EXACTLY what to say. Very impressed with them. However, even when I told the local store manager I was calling corporate she didnt act nicer, just became more of a bitch. Said she could send out cinnisticks...but I'd have to pay an extra $5.

And no, Im not going to have anything delievered from there again. When I use the coupon I will go IN the store and do takeout.

edit: and I only tipped the delivery guy the change (50 cents) because he was such as an ass. So I KNOW there must be a note in my account to add special sauce. ;)

No offense Lucky, but just because the delivery driver called and asked if you could meet him outside,there wasn't a need for to you call his manager and call him an "asshole" to his boss. Seems like a lame thing to do.

Is it safe to assume that the delivery guy "asked" if you to meet him outside and not "told" you to?

IMO, chain pizza parlors = sux0r.
Domino's is wimpy pizza, Pizza hut is grease city, and Papa John's was what used to be a good diversion from the other two but has now turned into a Domino's clone.
My sob story? I ordered from Papa Johns one day, and was preparing to pay with a personal check. The guy takes the check, looks at my ID, looks at the street address, and calls his boss. They reject my check, and I get into a heated argument with the manager about why:
PJ: The street address doesn't match the check.
Me: What's that matter? You have my drivers license.
PJ: The address on the check has to match the delivery address.
(WTF!)
Me: What does that have to do with anything?!
PJ: The bank isn't in our area. (suddenly changing his excuse)
Me: What the hell are you talking about?!
PJ: It's not a local bank.
Me: It's a BANK OF AMERICA. There are TWO BRANCHES within TWO BLOCKS of your store!
PJ: But your branch isn't local.
Me: (realizing that this bastard won't let me have my pizza) F--- YOU!!!

So, I refuse to order from Papa John's ever again.

Instead, I go across town to Lorenzo's (formerly Lamonica's) pizzeria for genuine New York pizza. Hotdamn that's good.
