Today, my wife was out and asked if she wanted me to pick up pizza and would I call it in. I went on the website to order online.

First of all, when you click on "Order Online" you're sent to a page with three different delivery services. I clicked on each of them and saw that Door Dash was the only one where you could select "pickup" so I went with that.

I selected a pickup time of 4:40. When my wife arrived at 4:40 they couldn't find our order. She called me and I went back into their site and it was very difficult to go back and look at my order. Finally after going back and forth with her and the website and the employee she suggested that the order was lost and that I order again. Just as that happened I found the page that confirmed the order. It turns out that Door Dash orders are kept in a separate area.

I ordered a pizza for my wife with anchovies and pineapple and one for me with mushroom. I also asked for extra sauce on both.

When she arrived home with the cold pizza hers was fine but mine did not have mushrooms. There was no extra sauce but my wonderful wife asked them for some extra sauce on the side which they provided.

Rather that drive all the way back up, I just decided to eat what I had. No mushrooms, no big deal.

But then came worst part. The pizza was terrible. It was tasteless and was like trying to chew rubber. It may have been the worst pizza I've ever had.

Piezanos is always extremely busy and I think that because they are really the only game in town in this area. If another pizza place opens up they could be in trouble.

I will not get pizza again from Piezanos. Like I said I think that some of their Italian specialties are pretty good. Nothing special but good enough. I'll stick with those from now on.
I’m not a big fan of their pizza but I’ll have 2 pies please😂😂😂

Gave up on them months ago. Their take out location is too small, slow and way, way, way over crowded. It is upsetting even thinking of going there. So we invoke our right to avoid the place like the plague.

We found ALDI has some good take and bake pizzas and a price of $5-$6. Can’t beat it.

It always amazes me when an author says "I'll never eat there again" based on one bad experience. Good grief...servers, cooks, managers...they're all human and humans make errors. I'd be more interested in did the author call and speak with the manager? All of the hub bub about having issues even creating the order could have been avoided if the author had called the order directly to Piesano's. Sometimes we create our own difficulties. IMHO, Piesano's is good food, and over lots of times eating there we've always been happy with their product. But what is considered good pizza is very individual and one person's like isn't universal.

Last time we ordered from them my Calzone was burnt, BUT I called and they made good on it. WE WILL WAIT TO ORDER AGAIN UNTIL SEASONAL PEOPLE LEAVE.

Marco’s Pizza on 466a has the best pizza and their delivery is awesome. Always arrives hot. The pizza is delicious. You can even track the delivery from the time you submit the order until it arrives at your home. They have their own drivers too. You might want to give them a try next time.

Marcos (next to Lowes on 466A) is the best we’ve had around here. Very reasonably priced as well. Excellent thin and regular crust options. Sign up for their emails to get notified of specials. A large 2-topping pizza for $8.99? Yes, please!

Regarding Aldi: if you don’t want to go out, we found both the Take-n-Bake and the frozen thin crust to be decent….get the plain cheese and doctor it yourself with your chosen toppings. You will have to go into the room with the sink and turn on that black thing that gets hot to enjoy your pizza. 😃

Both crust were also good, flavor was good, they were thin and not doughy though the Newman won this area as well because it was just a little more crispy, though this could have been from a 25 degree hotter oven (their instructions, not ours).
We have both had better pizza back home, but these were ok. They really are worth a try.
Could be your oven is not cooking as hot as it says. Ever put a thermometer in there to check it?

Is this the new thing now? Because there is a war 1/2 way across the world we aren’t allowed to discuss local issues, especially those far less important than war? I notice whenever gas prices and inflation are discussed, the usual suspects come out with a post similar to the above. The corporate media talking points appear to be working well, we are only allowed to discuss (insert current crisis here).

Love Piesanos. Never had a bad meal, or experience. We go there once a week.
