The Italian Job
What the $%#*!! Does the Mafia run PizzaPizza or what?
So, its late at night and I’m burning the midnight oil, and someone suggested food. Being a guy, I can’t resist a good bite. I already had dinner but I was still starving. I wanted some pizza, or a burger, or some poutine. Something thick and juicy I could sink my teeth into, stuff my mouth and later pat my belly. So, I go online to Pizza Pizza’s website and I’m like, totally suckered by their false advertisin’ ya know?
Loser!
$6.50 for a small pizza and I’m like hey, that fits the bill. Lets have it. So I add on two toppings and opt to have it delivered and … *sticker shock* … the price more than doubled!

So they called me up to verify the order anyways. Moronic, stupid, robotic girl at the other end of the line rattles off the grocery list of mandatory and monotonous say-ables. I stopped her and asked her how the price for the pizza jumped from the advertised $6.50 to $9.20 before any other variables were factored in such as dipping sauce, delivery, tax, etc and she basically reads off the entire receipt (see above).
I seriously felt like Trinity from the Matrix when she said “I don’t have time for this s–t.” when Merovingian was pulling his Arrogant Frenchman routine. so I stopped her solid and told her bluntly that she didn’t listen to my question and she’s like *gasp* .. “oh?!” as if I had just committed blasphemy. I asked her again how come the price went from 6.50 to 9.20 with only two toppings … she replied with an embarassed voice “oh hmm its $1.35 per topping…”
Unbelievable.
I guess its the mob running Pizza Pizza now.
I have to find a better pizza store.
