My friend did a favor for me this morning and I told her I'd buy lunch. We decided we'd get a pizza and bake it at my house. We walk in and there's one employee working on a pizza who said nothing to us. We didn't know what we wanted and by the time we did, another employee came out from the back. He just looked at us. We wanted a 'New Yorker' which we both knew wasn't going to be anything close because we are both from back East. We see that they now sell meatballs but they aren't on the topping list so we asked if they could do it anyway. He said no, so I asked how much the meatballs were thinking we could slice them up and put them on ourselves. He grumbled and groaned a few things and after trying to clarify 3 or 4 times with no luck we gave up on the meatball idea. So we placed our order for a pizza and a two liter and waited about forever for it to be ready. How does it take twice as long to put together an uncooked pizza than it does for every other pizza place in the world to make a one that's already baked??
We sit there waiting and watching these two employees. She looks completely miserable and he looks like he despises the world, himself, and most of all, pizza. I'm not even exaggerating. In my 50 years of living I have never experienced this level of unfriendly customer service as I did today. So, forever later he puts a pizza on the counter and he mumbles something at us, which we assume is because it's ours. We have to ask for the 2 liter because apparently he forgot. He looked at us as if he was shooting daggers out of his eyes and the girl gets it and hands it to us without saying a word or making eye contact. It was actually kind of funny how awful these two were at dealing with customers and how unbelievably slow they were moving. I've never seen anything like it! I really want to know the deal...is she miserable because she has to work with him? Or are they just a match made in heaven? What's the story behind this trainwreck of a team? Enquiring minds want to know.
Oh. I bet you are dying to know how the food was. There was an extra bonus topping...a blue plastic string that was now baked into the pizza. The crust was basically a giant cracker. I mean, has anyone in their corporate office ever even had a pizza from New York? The Big New Yorker at the hut is closer to one. Never in a million years would I have believed it if you said there was a pizza even less like a NY style pizza than The Big New Yorker. Yet I stand corrected. What an insulting slap in the face for New York's pizza makers.
In conclusion, I'd steer clear of the New Yorker pizza unless you really like crackers. And definitely don't go at 1pm on a Wednesday, unless you want to see this s#i+ show for yourself. read more
