| - Yes, this location is definitely out of my area, but there's a reason I ordered from them, so hang in there for a min or four while I explain - it's worth it.
So, I'm at John C Lincoln Deer Valley having lumbar surgery on New Year's Eve and I missed out on dinner because I got to my room late and the nurses could only offer me a Healthy Choice frozen dinner. I'd not eaten in nearly 24hrs and was about to chew my arm off, cuz starving and wired out of my mind (thanks to the gloriousness of hittin' the Dilauded drip every 10 mins - don't judge - you'd have been doing it, too, if it was your second back surgery in 5mos - well, and Dilauded, but I digress), so anywhooo...
I asked my nurse if I could have a pizza delivered and she said yes, soooo, hello Domino's. I ordered my fave, but only a medium instead of extra large (Wisconsin 6 Cheese, extra sauce - this isn't the regular sauce and is ridic tasty - on Brooklyn-style, garlic-seasoned, crust - I'm not wasting that level of deliciousness on thick crust), and the guy that took my order said it'd be an hour or so because 9p on a rainy NYE and told him it was cool and make sure the driver stayed safe. Also, I was starving and it's not like I was going anywhere.
When the very nice guy taking my order realized I was a patient in the hospital, he asked if I was gonna be okay, so now he's thoughtful, too. And thank you for asking, I appreciated it. :)
My pizza was there in 20mins, still hot, and I know damn well it was because I'd called from the hospital - so thank you, tons, belatedly, anonymous order-taker guy - I truly appreciated being bumped to the front of the "line." And yes, I tipped the delivery girl 25% because NYE, freezing cold outside, raining, and hospital.
Most important, my pizza was freakin' perfect and I ate 7 of the 8 slices. I'd have eaten the last one, too, but had promised a slice to one of my nurses so she'd understand, and appreciate, the fabulousness of this particular pizza. Yes, she was shocked I mowed that thing down like a competitive eater (told you, I was STARVING), and she even shared that last slice of pizza heaven with other staff because it was so yummy (so don't be surprised, Domino's, when the staff orders that pizza specifically like I did, right down to the extra sauce).
I apologize this is so very long and I'm impressed if you made it to the end. It all needed said - and thank you, again, Domino's that's not my regular location. All things considered, including my private room, my NYE didn't suck as much as it could've, and it was all because of you guys/gals. XOXOXOXO
