| - My partner and I really love Pizza so much so that we even have Pizza tattoos. So we were excited, naturally, to try Evel Pie after a dance night on Fremont Street. We went in to get our pizza and were relatively pleased with the Pizza. My partner loved the Barry White slice; but the pepperoni left much to be desired. If we were just remarking on the Pizza, we would give an average 4 star rating.
However, we were mortified by the outright classist, anti-homeless, and possibly racist behavior they exhibited. My partner noticed that a young woman was sitting at a table with only juice to drink and no food. She decided to offer to buy the woman a slice. We suspected that she was homeless, and felt that she might want something to eat. As she approached the counter to place the order, one of the employees warned my partner that "just so you know, she's in here all the time asking people to buy her pizza." He said this as If to encourage my partner to rethink her gesture. My partner was a little annoyed, but graciously thanked and dismissed his concern. However, soon after we noticed the security at her table asking her to leave. We were very disappointed to see that they actually packed up her food and forced her to leave, even though it was completely paid for, including the tip. She didn't appear to be bothering anyone and there was plenty of open seating. We were dismayed and disgusted... we couldn't even enjoy our meal and the pizza is forever marred in our minds. It felt even yuckier that the staff was all white and the woman was black.
