| - there are a few times in my life when i say to myself 'aly, what the hell are you still doing sitting here!?'.
we walked in for lunch on a Thursday to find the place completely empty. should have been our first clue that this was not going to end well. we sat down and ordered drinks and looked at each other with questioning eyes 'should we go? should we stay and tough it out?'. our waiter came back with 3 of the 6 drinks and let us know that there was, in fact, no diet dr. pepper. foreshadowing for the rest of the meal? methinks yes.
we all order: 1 pizza, 3 sub sandwiches, a calzone, and 3 side salads. 40 minutes later the salads finally come out. the house salads didnt look too bad with the exception of the obviously older, wilted cherry tomatoes. the caesar salad looked like they had scraped the last bit of romaine from a days old bucket. not good. i've never seen lettuce that neon yellow. another 30 minutes pass (total time invested: 1.1 hours) and the mains start coming out. while the calzone didnt look awful, it definitely was not fully cooked. still doughy in the center, there were bets being taken around the table whether or not the meats had been fully cooked. btw, did i mention that after 1.1 hours we never had refills on our drinks?
20 minutes later (total time invested: 1.5 hours) the pizza and the subs finally come out. to give credit where credit is due, the pesto chicken pizza actually looked fairly edible and smelled delicious. the meatball sub i had was sadly uncooked. i bit into the first meatball and was met with an icy center. delicious. the turkey subs were even scarier. after opening up one of the sandwiches, my coworker found odd, rectangular cuts of what could be turkey strewn about in the middle. we weren't really sure if that was the turkey or the cheese so we convinced him that he should probably just make his sandwich vegetarian.
1 hour and 40 minutes of my life wasted. completely wasted. its been a long time since i've had such a completely terrible, nonredeemable meal. thanks, Pizza 'N Greens, for making me appreciate all the mediocre restaurants that i've been to that i previously thought were terrible. they really pale in comparison to you.
