Extremely sad. I posted a tongue in cheek reason for the hostess not divulging the attendance at her restaurant and an hour later this psycho goes postal. Not feeling good about it.

You could have been an illegal

looking for info. Although some terrorist are now sadly
admired for their work.

Easy enough to continue to explain the reason for your question- I’m asking because I’d like to eat at the restaurant at (insert time) and just wondering how long the wait may be for a table for two?

I would fault the restaurant management before I would fault any employee, there seems to be little to no training given to restaurant employee any more And the majority of them are hired with little to no experience.

When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras.

Just FYI, "active shooter" means there is someone shooting RIGHT NOW.

Yikes - have you tried the thin-crust pizza? It misses your description on all counts and yes, I'm originally from NY.

I agree. Piesanos ultra thin crust pizza is consistent and very good. My biggest problem with pizza places is that most of them add way too much cheese and they do not use a consistent recipe. Apparently, a lot of people who make pizza think that every customer wants extra cheese, the more the better. Not true. The cheese and sauce should be applied in measured amounts, according to the recipe.

Why would your faith and opinion of people be lowered by someone's different opinion than yours?
So you don't like it which is ok.
More room for people that do.

Super!
That means I don't have to wait in line behind a whiney New Yorker.

Let this Thread be a warning for innocent posters to open themselves up to sarcasm and negative posts.

I always say that I could open a Thread saying “ it’s a beautiful day in The Villages”. Some would rsp “no! It’s cloudy”, “No the Developer makes too much”, “No I saw dog poop”…. Some people can be so crabby and negative. IMO the OP made a valid question, and they get ridiculed by some here. OK take your potshots at me now. grrrrrr.

Sorry, not trying to be nit picky. But, some Villagers think that Piesanos is the same franchise chain as the larger Paisanos franchise in the Northeast.

I lived in Fairfax, Virginia when they opened the first Paisanos restaurant. Now, there are about 36. When they opened Piesanos in The Villages, I thought it was the same chain until I checked the spelling.

Agree.

I would have been frustrated as well with the woman's response.
