When Pizza delivery takes way too long

First tragedy, then farce.
I hate this shit.

I ordered a Pizza well over an hour ago. I was told 30 minutes. I'm starving and just want to make something myself at this point.

But the Pizza will eventually show up. I can always refuse to pay for it, but then I can never order from that Pizza place again for fear of them putting shit in my food... I also tip really well for the same reason. Don't want a reputation as a bad tipper with people who handle my food.

and it will never fail, as soon as I start to make something to eat, the pie will show up.

uggg.
 
Did you call and ask where the hell is your pizza? At least you'll know if they forgot to send it out or something.

And yeah, don't stiff the delivery guy. It doesn't teach anyone a lesson and it may not even be his fault. If the place is chronically late just stop ordering from there.
 
Happened to us last month when we were moving in/partying at our new house. We were so busy that I didn't notice until the hour mark.

He showed up 2 minutes later, and by "he" I mean my ex boyfriend & pizza delivery boy. Delivering 6 pizzas to your ex and her new husband to their new house.... Awkward....

Btw I still tipped. Shouldn't have because he owes me a lot of money, but I figured that was enough punishment.

I once had to wait two hours for a pizza hut delivery. And this was after they informed me they were out of large pizzas.

They're lucky they're so damn good.

I live in Austin, TX. There is no such thing as good Pizza delivery. It's all pretty average at best.

Theres so many better places in Austin to get a pizza then Pizza Hut though! At least suffer the wait for a good thing.
 
I work at a pizza store and now i regret ever being mean to a delivery driver or the drivers.

I work a the local one in my town and it gets very busy.

Two hour waits on some food, we may have to cook around 100-200 pizza's plus schnitzel/chips/pastas in around 6 hours on a good Saturday night.
 
i never do delivery. ill always go pick it up. I'd always flip out at work when we would order pizza because we would order from the pizza place less then a mile away and they would say two hours for delivery, 30 minutes for pickup and they would do delivery! WTF?
 
I love it when they're late (and I mean really late) and the fuckers still want a tip. Yeah right. They can kiss my black ass.
 
When it gets to be that late it's obviously the kitchens fault and not the drivers, so punishing him for it seems a little unfair.
 
One time Papa John's was taking like an hour to deliver my pizza, so I call them to ask what's the hold up and they tell me that I never answered the doorbell. Turns out the delivery guy went to a completely different town! The manager said he was sorry and that they only print the street name on their pizza boxes and not the town. Is that standard practice for pizza joints or is it just my local one? Cause that's fucking stupid.

After that incident and reading the GAF tipping threads (where some poster said he messes with peoples food) I don't bother with pizza delivery anymore.
 
Why do you order pizza anyway? Is it:

A)Genuinely too lazy to pick it up even though you know it will be faster, hotter and cheaper
B)You are fat
C)You are stoned, drunk or otherwise incapacitated
D)Your order is disgusting and embarrassing
E)A because of C
F)B because of D
G)B and D
H)You claim to not have any other means of picking up the pizza :)

Be honest.

I had a professor that made mc tests like this. I wanted to murder that bastard.

A lot of people order because they don't have a way to pick it up. Your test is faulty!

Really? A lot or just you and like three other people? Okay I'll add that option, but I think since the other answers don't put a very positive light on the test taker, everyone will go for that answer even if it isn't true.

No, a lot. It's called "living in a city."

H) My friend and I are watching a basketball game and didn't want to miss any of it.

Oh really. I dunno, I just came from a little town called New York and I had no problem sitting on the G with my pizza box.

Maybe you mean "living in a city with shitty public transportation".

Okay, that's acceptable. But you should have figured the big sports event delay into it.

What if i'm a fat, stoned, drunk, incapacitated bastard that is too lazy to pick up my pizza even though i know my order is disgusting and embarrasing?
 
Yea, this is a simple no tip situation. After an hour, it's easily a "whatever happened, it's not my problem." situation.

Not everyone wants to carry a pizza box on the subway, especially when you can get it delivered or if you're ordering for more than yourself. And how is it fresher then delivery when you have to wait for a train and walk with it?

That's the type of question I'd ask my professor and he'd say select the best answer. So are you more stoned than fat? Exactly how disgusting and embarrassing is the order?

Considering it's a conference finals game I'd say the time it takes to make it home is less than the wait for having your pizza delivered. In any other instance maybe he goes to your house first, maybe not. In my experience (which admitted I haven't ordered pizza in years) carry-out is usually hotter than delivery.

Is Pizza Hut one of those things on GAF that is cool to hate?

I don't hate Pizza Hut because it's the "cool" thing to do, I hate it because the pizza is garbage and there's PLENTY of different options that are better than Pizza Hut. Papa John's, Little Caesar's, Domino's, fuck just go to your local pizza place and you'll probably get pizza there that tastes better than Pizza Hut.

You live in Austin, they are probably too busy getting high and eating your pizza.

Pizza Hut is REALLY fucking good like once or twice a year. Problem with it usually it can come out shitty, but normally when I eat there the pan pizza just goes down wonderful.

B and A, with occasional H's. However, there are much better options than pizza hut. Also, if I'm not particularly lazy I'll just make my own. I make really good pizza; it just takes 12 hours of mostly waiting on the dough in order to make it.

From my experiences, Papa Johns and Little Caeser's have both sucked. Domino's is good and the only local place I know is a chain that is only in Virginia (so I guess not a local place) called Chanellos, which is either really damn good or really gross. Pizza Hut is usually good for me.

There's 3 pretty good options around here - Toppings, Starvin Marvin's, and Pizza Boli's. Also Vocelli's isn't so great but still better than Pizza Hut, Dominoes, and Little Ceaser's.
