No, No, No! Not Again! I am never making the mistake of ordering food from Cap's Pizza again. I have known this pizza place since I was a kid. They used to have some pretty good food at some affordable prices. Today, they are surviving off their name alone. Do not eat here.
Last night, I ordered food from Cap's. I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan Dinner. It didn't come with a side of pasta, so I had to order one separately. It did come with a small salad and some garlic knots. More on those later. I called in my order. I was at the restaurant 15 minutes later.
It was a Friday night around 8:30 to 9:00. It looked like business was dying down for the night, but there were still some families eating and drinking. Everyone looked to be having a good time. The waitresses seemed to be taking care of the patrons and providing friendly service. For me, it was a different story.
I walked up to the counter to inquire about my pickup order. The lady working there wouldn't even crack a smile. She looked like she wanted nothing to do with me. She did not say thank you. It felt very cold, especially for a small mom and pop pizza place like this. I still tipped a dollar for my to-go order regardless.
I was however informed that my order was "not ready yet". So I grabbed a seat, and I waited. And I waited. And I waited some more. I waited for 30 minutes. That's right - 30 minutes. Add that to the 15 minutes it took me to get to the restaurant, that's 45 minutes. For a small to-go order.
After 30 minutes, another waitress asked if I was waiting for something. No, I just like sitting alone in a restaurant playing on my phone... yes, I am clearly waiting for something. She asked what I was waiting for. I told her my order, even though as staff she should have already known. Five minutes later I had my food. I said thank you, and left.
But it doesn't end there. Let's talk about my side of pasta. You ever see Goodfellas? Remember that scene at the end where Henry Hill talks about being served egg noodles and ketchup? Yup, that's what I had here. Poorly cooked egg noodle pasta and bland marinara. Very disappointing. The eggplant was cooked well, but drowned in the same dreadful marinara. The side salad was nothing to write home about, though to be fair, I don't expect much from a small side salad. The garlic knots were tiny and tasted stale. Awful.
This meal cost me $22 - $23 if you count the courtesy tip for a pick-up order. I do not feel this meal was worth $22. It was not worth half that. I feel cheated.
Never again Cap's. Never again.
