I ordered a specialty pizza online for curbside pickup while sitting in front of the store at approximately 8:30 PM. The website estimated it would be ready in 17-21 minutes. Since I was in a hurry, I waited in the store parking lot and went inside after about 25 minutes when the app showed my order was ready. The pizza was ready and still hot when I picked it up.
I live only about five minutes from the store. However, after getting home and trying the pizza, I found it to be unacceptable. The meat tasted spoiled, there were very few bell peppers, and the onions and mushrooms that were supposed to be on the pizza were missing. The pizza was also extremely greasy and appeared as though it had been previously cooked and reheated.
Around 10:30 PM, I returned to the store to request a refund. Unfortunately, the experience became much worse.
The manager, Nick, immediately became hostile. He grabbed the pizza box from my hands and began questioning me about when I placed and picked up my order. When I explained that I had ordered around 8:30 PM and had waited in the parking lot before picking it up, he accused me of leaving the pizza sitting at the store for an hour and a half before I picked it up at the store counter as he continued screaming and using profanity while doing so. This accusation was completely untrue.
Nick then slammed the pizza into the trash and became increasingly aggressive. When I asked to speak with a manager, he yelled that he was the manager. He continued shouting, using profanity, and ordering me to leave the store. Although he stated that he had processed a refund, he refused to provide a receipt. Another employee attempted to print one for me, but Nick instructed him not to give it to me.
The situation escalated to the point where Nick threatened to call the police, banned me from the store, and continued yelling and cursing at me as he called me a F...ing Moron while I calmly requested documentation of my refund.
At 70 years old, I found this behavior extremely unprofessional, intimidating, and completely unacceptable. I returned a pizza that I genuinely believed was unfit to eat, and instead of receiving courteous customer service, I was subjected to hostility, profanity, name calling and threats.
The poor quality of the pizza was disappointing, but the manager's behavior was far worse. I left without a receipt for my refund and with a very negative impression of this location. I will not be returning to this or Any Domino's pizza restaurant Ever!! read more
