Awesome song choice from the son, there!

Nana should have that crossword done in no time with the Boog's help!

First bite, something tasted foul. Manager refused a refund because the two of us had had a bite of our respective slices, but offered to have the same people make the same pizza in the same place with the same ingredients (at least one of which was questionable) in hopes of a different outcome. Guess he wasn't familiar with that particular definition of insanity.

Already had my appetite ruined, at this point I have a promise of a free replacement on my next trip, which I doubt will materialize if I do go back.

I'm sure Boog would be happy to help but I'm not sure it would be good for him

And yes on definition of insanity you ended up with the same results.

Looked to be probably old enough to order beer, not sure about the hard stuf. I figure he had some kind of instructions from the next person up the chain of command who's taking a few well-earned days off this weekend. Need to walk back in and talk to that person next week. He or she can do the right thing and make it a good learning experience, if I'm dealing with a competent individual.

Failing that, the reason for refusing a refund was we'd taken bites of the pie. An absurdity I pointed out, can't tell they used questionable product that tastes bad by looking at it. So I suppose we could take them up on the replacement, refuse it immediately, and ask for a refund on the basis it was uneaten. I suppose I could claim it smells spoiled and based on the prior experience it's not unreasonable. Figure I waste their money in excess of their costs if I can do that two times, cheaper and more goodwill to give a refund when you serve food that tastes like something Andrew Zimmern might eat in a questionable Budapest back-alley establishment.

Meanwhile, TripAdvisor has a less-than-glowing review and corporate has a complaint registered.
