So I order a pizza through PizzaHut.com, and I use an online coupon to get a Medium Stuffed Crust Double Pepperoni for $11.97. After about 40 minutes, I notice no pizza. Then I pick up my silenced phone, to see a couple missed calls. It's Pizza Hut. I call them back, and they tell me the delivery guy can't find my apartment, even though this particular Pizza Hut is like 2 blocks away, and they've been to my place like 5 or 6 times.

So I give them some better directions, and roughly 45 minutes after my "Estimated delivery time", they finally show up. BUT THE GUY SAYS THE TOTAL IS $15.56. I say "Uh....the total I got was $11.97". He plays dumb and asks me if I had a coupon, and I said no, because I thought he meant physical coupon. So, I buckle under the pressure and end up borrowing $3 in cash from my roommates in order to pay the guy off. I'm thinking they cancelled my original order after the guy couldn't find the place, then re-entered it in as a regular, non-online order with no coupons. I know it's my fault for not causing a commotion, or at the least not calling them and complaining, but it never crossed my mind. I wasn't really expecting something like that to happen.

Your thoughts?
 
I'd call back and complain. Especially if you've got an email that says your original total.

They may even toss in a free pizza to make up for the mistake.
 
[quote name='tokitoki50']If it was only two blocks away, why did you feel the need to order online? Just curious.[/quote]Because I'm lazy, obviously.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']The worst part is that the pizza came from Pizza Hut.[/quote]Not surprised by:

A. The comment itself
B. Who made said comment

I was waiting for someone to post that exact statement. "OMG you should have gotten some $19 pizza from *insert their local ma and pa pizza place*"

Fair enough. I don't think I've ever had a Pizza Hut pizza, and I'm almost positive there's no place around me that takes orders online like that. It's interesting.

Oh, p'shaw. I don't care where you get pizza from, Pizza Hut and Dominos are the drizzling shits. This isn't a point that some hifalutin' $14 pizza joint that serves a roasted garlic, feta cheese, fresh mozarella, and white sauce and has awesome beers on tap to boot is better than your Neanderthal palate. I'll eat Papa John's and like it; you're, as usual, making more out of what I'm saying than what I'm saying.

You asked for thoughts. Here's mine: Pizza Hut sucks my ass, and you're a chump for not sending the order back since the driver overcharged you and was late to boot. Plus you're a fool for leaving your phone on silent when it doesn't need to be - and though you mention that, seem to leave it on the table when attributing blame for the poor service.

My phone was on silent because I had just gotten home from school, and forgot to take it off silent. I'm sorry, but I don't usually think "oh, I'm getting a pizza, better wait by the phone in case they fuck something up!"
 
[quote name='mykevermin']Fair enough. But take your share of the blame that goes with forgetting to switch it on.[/quote]The phone aspect had little to do with it. If I would have called them when the guy was still at my door, and told them the whole thing, they would have fixed it. I admit it, I dropped the ball.

Stop it, it's too late to be getting this hungry for pizza.:drool::drool::drool:

For VG this is the epitome of haute cuisine.

Not totally, of course. The driver wasn't the sharpest tack, obviously.

fuck, man, the edgar allen poe is where it's at: whole cloves of roasted garlic, black olive slices, sundried tomato with a olive oil n' garlic white sauce (not to be confused with a cream-type white sauce like you'd get in a pasta dish) with giant hunks of goat cheese and mozz.

Now I've done it to myself, so it's all good. :drool:

The thing about Dewey's is their salad: mesclun with goat cheese, pine nuts, and dried cranberries tossed in a balsamic. You may not be a salad eater, but *fuck me* this is an amazing salad.

Alright, that's enough. Now I'm totally craving pizza.
 
You mind if I someday name a band "The Drizzling Shits," myke?

I mean that's not a copyrighted phrase or anything, aye?

Our first single is going to be called "Brown Eye Lover."
 
After wavering back and forth between Domino's and Pizza Hut for their pizza, and Papa Johns for their Cheese Bread...

I finally ended taking up Little Caesar's for both, and their pizza is pretty damn cheap.

I am surprised there are lil Caesar pizza places still around



apparently they are mostly in Kmart in my area
 
You could call and bitch and you'd probably at least get a discount. I'd probably be too lazy to do it myself.

Stuffed crust little caesar's with some crazy bread = awesome. A nice Papa John's with garlic sauce = awesome as well. Those are probably my favorites anyway. Pizza Hut pan pizzas are good too. Then the white pizza from Chanello's is good too. I just love some fucking pizza (except Domino's)...

They're building a new Little Caesar's near here, the one I usually get pizza from now is tiny and they're getting their own little building. Hopefully they'll deliver when it's finished.

I now have a Stevie Wonder song stuck in my head, except with the above mentioned phrase substituted in the necessary places.

I'll let you guess which one.

In the meantime, I'll be plotting your demise.

Bingo. It takes at least 5 bitch-and-moan calls to a major pizza chain to get "blacklisted" for trying to scam them.
 
[quote name='VioletArrows']Pizza Hut is dead to me after poisoning me twice in a row.[/quote]

Where'd you order them from? Moscow?
 
Pizza Hut=greasy long lasting toilet time here.
Papa John's=expensive rip off
Garlic Jim's expensive but worth every penny
 
Yeah, I got the food poisoning part. That was a Putin joke. ;)

Only thing I ever got food poisoning from was being dumb enough to eat week old chili instead of throwing it out.
 
Papa johns is still my favorite chain pizza place if you order online they have some decent coupons usually. Like one xl with 2 tops for 12 or one large the works for 13 so there you go next time order from papa johns.
 
I say! Pizza? From a chain pizza restaurant???

I need clarification on this.

By "my phone", are you referring to "my cell phone"?

Chili is evil anyway.

And I gathered, but Russia jokes just don't do it for me.

I delivered pizza's for four years in college. To this day, I haven't heard of any better part-time job for a college student. It was a fantastic job because (1) the money was really great, and tax-free in your pocket cash, (2) I'd often get tipped in bong rips; (3) free food all the time, and many more other reastons. It was awesome.

Anyway one time I was delivering this pizza to a house and, after walking up the stairs, I come upon the doorway. The main door was open and a screen door was shut. I knocked and rang but no answer. After peering into the residence, I noticed two feet sticking out of the hallway. I shouted and knocked REALLY loud but they didn't move.

So I went in and see some dude passed completely out lying on his back with a handful of cash laying on his chest. I shouted and poked him and (thank G-d) he opened his eyes.

I said "Did you order a pizza!?" He nodded.
I asked "Is that money for this pizza!?" He nodded again.

I grabbed the cash (there was a normal amount for a tip too) out of his hand and laid the pizza on his chest and walked out. Job well done.
 
Buddy of mine down in Austin says the only place you can get pizza in his locale are from chains. I cried a little that night for him.... Seriously, maybe its because I'm rolling into middle age...and a Pizza-Hut Stuffed-Whatever Saltbomb could probably give me a quick heart attack in one sitting......but honest to god that stuff is just evil tasting food. Take 8lbs of salt and then fry it up?? Are those crusts fried?

Up here chain-pizza is the food of last resort....."you mean to tell me there are no Italians or Greeks living in Texas!?!? For Real!? They all own BBQ Places!!??"
 
That can't be true. I'm over in College Station and even we have a little local non-chain place called Antonio's that makes all kinds of crazily-topped pizzas that are amazing - spicy enchilada, bacon BBQ, various veggie combinations, etc.

And then there's at least 2-3 Italian places that make traditional margarhita (spelling) and white pizzas and such. Run by Italians, of course, as we are a great and noble people.

Austin has got to be have a few, most likely near UT campus on the various drags over there (Guadalupe, Lamar, Congress, etc). Maybe in the vast surrounding suburban areas, you'd only have access to Pizza Hut and the like, but there has GOT to be some weeded-out hippie bongo player dude in a purple "Legoliiiiiiize It" shirt half baked out of his mind baking up some tasty munchies SOMEWHERE in Austin.

If this shitty town can, I imagine it's got to be much better over there.

Chains are kinda ambiguous, no? Where I live, we have a 'chain' of nearly 50 places (LaRosa's). It's pretty good for a pizza joint that competes directly with the Donatos/Pizza Hut/Papa John's et al. crowd (and the only market in the US that Pizza Hut isn't #1 in). But it's a regional chain. Hell, Dewey's (that I linked above) has fewer storefronts, but is spread over more geographical territory. That's a chain, too.

Hell, Pizzeria Uno is fuckin' *PHENOMENAL* in my opinion, and they're all over the country.

It's relative, really.
