Who pissed in their coffee?…read more I came in to buy pizza by the slice, and asked if they had any vegetable. A plump woman in a blue T-shirt said "No, we only have 2 veggie." I didn't understand, and said "But that's what I asked for." She replied "It's cheese, and that's vegetarian!" I did not understand her anger. I said "I'll take one". She angrily grabbed a plastic bag and cardboard container, angrily shoved the slice inside, threw the thing at me and stalked off in a huff. I looked at the cashier who saw the entire exchange. He said nothing. Not "I'm sorry for your experience" , or "Would you like to speak with a manager?" Nothing. I asked "Are they always so dismissive of customers?". He replied "I can't control other people". By this time my stomach was in knots, so I quietly told him I did not want the slice and left, but not without hearing him call after me facetiously "HAVE A NICE DAY!". What the hell happened? Who pissed in their coffee?

Slow. You will wait for your food for no less than five minutes and when you get it it will be wrong, but you won't do anything because then you'd have to go through the process all over again. read more

I ordered a bacon pizza, half with pineapple to go. The quality was just very subpar. The bacon was funky tasting. The cheese tasted kind of gross. The crust was bland and not good. Also it was cut in tiny squares and by the time I got home the pieces just didn't come apart and was a mess to eat. Not worth the price. I would choose Mia pizza over them.
