My review has nothing to do with the quality of the pizza as it is quite good. In fact, one of the best if not best pizzas I have ever had.
My complaint is with the Black Friday Gift Card situation. I called on the Wed before to find out what time they would be open to purchase the 50% off gift cards and I was told that they would open up at 11am by a guy on the phone. When I showed up there at about 10:45, I was told that they were sold out of the gift cards.
The person behind the bar area told me they sold out in 2 hours . . . which I said how can that be if they don't go on sale for 15 minutes. He then told me that they opened up at 7am and that the cards were gone by 9am . . . and sort of took the position of . . . . tough luck guy or bud . . .something said like that which just added insult to injury.
I really do enjoy the pizza here, but it is quite expensive for pizza . . .about $35 for a large specialty metro style pizza. . . .the 50% off gift cards bring it down to a reasonable level . . . .I mean the pizza is worth $20, but not $35 as it probably only costs about $5 to make.
So since I was misinformed by the person on the phone who gave me the wrong time of gift card sale, I am going to boycott Metro Pizza until next year when I get there at 7am to get the gift cards. It's just the principle.
Again . . . . $35 for a pizza is quite a bit of money and there is only so much entertainment money in the budget to go out on . . . . . There are good pizzas out there for much less. . . . .
So until next December . . . I say good bye to you Metro PIzza!
