We got a sausage pizza. Worst pizza ever. Mostly just a cheese pizza with just one tiny piece of sausage on each slice. Bad after taste. Just plain nasty.

Will stick with Piesano's. They have fantastic pizza and it is beyond loaded all the time.

There are MANY doing this now.
We've seen it in at least a half dozen recently.
The big problem is that it's a surprise additon on the bottom of the bill. No warning!
See the thread in Restaurant Discussions called Credit Card fee.

Never said "I hate The Villages". I don't like underhanded practices like this. I think most reading here feel the same way.

We live in St Cats. Ordered a take out pizza. By the time we got home (5 min golf cart ride), the pizza had welded itself to the box. No waxed paper to prevent that.
The pizza we scraped off wasnt very good. Piesanos is no better.
The best pizza we have found in the Villages is frozen California Pizza Crust pizza i reheat myself. A sad commentary on pizza quality here.
Flippers is OK, not make a special trip for though.

Thanks for the reviews on Sawgrass just another place to avoid in The Villages on our return.

1) The pizzas are not frozen. A frozen pizza tastes way better than the crap they pump out there.

Serious answer.
Skip has been around a long time on TOTV. I have never seen a post of his that implied he hated The Villages.

We think Piesanos is pretty good, so is Sammy's and Napolinos for pizza.

Not as good as we used to get in NYC but still pretty good

We are one and done with Sawgrass. Hamburgers served wrapped in paper and not on plates, lobster roll has mayonaise and celery which is lobster salad, pizza unappetizing and drinks served in plastic cups. We purchased 1 item at Villges Grown which can be purchased at Fresh Market or Publix. See no reason to return.

I think it's the wave of the future. More and more retailers are getting fed up with the increasing transaction costs associated with accepting credit cards, which keep escalating because the card companies keep offering bigger rewards to the purchaser for using their particular card.
I think it's totally appropriate for the retailer to charge less to someone who purchases with a tender that does not come with a transaction fee.

I ran into it a few weeks ago at a restaurant in NY near where I live. Two days ago I went to a winery and handed cash, and the teller gave me a withering look. I said, "I'd be happy to use my card", and he said "that would be great". There was no uncharge for using the card. He was selling wine so fast that to slow down to make change would have cost him money I guess.

We drive to Sammy’s for pizza, so far it’s better than any other place we have tried. But than again pizza is a regional taste

[JRP2TV]

Piesano's has the best pizza not only in Florida, but from the midwest to the Atlantic ocean. Pizza from up north can't touch it.

It's fantastic. I will stick with them.

Its good but have had better. Think if you ask 10 people for their favorite pizza place will get at least 11 opinions
