Why did they put onions and green pepper on my pizza??

[Guest]

I mean, honestly.


I scraped them off but the scent of those unwanted toppings is still lingering in my kitchen!

(What the hell were they thinking?)

Anyone else have pizza nightmares to share?

I won't accept a pizza if I can smell green peppers on it -- and I usually get the replacement free.

All you have to do is tell them that you're severely allergic to the unwanted ingredient and their mistake could have killed you.

I also send back any pizza that smells of Sage.

I'm actually not severely allergic to either ingredient, but I am mildly allergic to them and don't ever wish to test if that has changed.

I like the allergic reaction idea!

Actually, when I picked up the pizzas for my family I noticed the green pepper smell right away.

But Pizza Hut said it would be 30 minutes before they'd have a replacement.

I said - the hell with it - it's Friday, I want to go home - this has been a cruddy day - and the rest of my family's order was OK.

(But I'm so damn annoyed with pizza people right now!)

Some guys who were harassing me a few years back once ordered 6 pizzas to be delivered to my place. The delivery guy wasn't very happy when explained that yes, this was the same address that they had been given, but no, I hadn't ordered any pizzas, someone must be playing me a practical joke, but since I didn't want any pizzas, I sure a hell wasn't going to pay for them either.

He had to take them back and throw them away.

I paid my way through college delivering pizzas. My pizza horror stories are legion.

I have been knocked unconscious with a pizza.

Yup. It was a big family-size frozen thing, and it was an accident. I really should know better than to stand up when my dad and big sister plays frisbee with heavy duty food over my head.

We ordered a pizza once, and we waited almost an hour for it to be delivered. After waiting for so long we called the pizza place and, they said that they delivered it a half hour ago.

"No, you didn't. We would have been eating it if you had."

"Sure we did. My driver said he got out of the car and asked the guy walking by your house if he ordered the pizza. He said yes and paid for it."

"Tell me, did you find it odd that he did not come into the house, but kept on walking down the street."

"Yeah, he did think that was a little odd."

"Now, would you be so kind as to make another pizza and get the delivery right this time, dumbass?"

As for the allergy excuse, every pizza joint in the free world has heard that excuse about a million times. Just tell them that they fucked up the order and that they should do it right. The direct approach is always the best.

I ordered the pizza from my cell phone on the way home from work. I stopped to pick it up - Friday night deliveries sometimes take forever.

And I was at my car before I decided the green pepper smell was indeed coming from my pizza and not from the place itself. I took both the receipt (which had my correct order listed) and pizza back in and was told I would have to wait another 30 minutes.

This was on 1/4 of those 4-pack pizzas. The other three were fine, mine was the only one messed up. (I figured they probably had many little squares of pizza cooking, just give me one because it was their mistake!)

I just looked at the girl in annoyed shock when she said I'd have to wait that long. I took the pizza back and told her not to bother.

Ah, well. Pizza angst. I recovered.

(And on the up side, my kids really like that 4-pack pizza idea.)

I worked in a couple different pizza jobs when I was younger and know that a mistake on an order can be serious just because of the wait time. When someone makes a mistake on mine I try to be understanding but sometimes you just can't, especially when they seem to not care.

Pizza restaurants have mistake and unclaimed orders they have to get rid of. Sometimes they offer discounts to those willing to accept substitutes, sometimes they will give them to staff, sometimes they will offer pieces free to in house diners, etc. However, some will purposely try to pass their mistakes off on pick ups or deliveries, knowing that most people will not complain or will readily accept their apology and let them get away with the deception.
