| - I took my two kids, my boyfriend, and his two kids here for lunch on Saturday. I ordered a Fire & Brimstone Pizza with spicy tomato sauce with mozzarella, sausage, jalapeƱos, and cilantro. I also needed something a little less zesty for the kids so I asked if they offered just a cheese pizza and the cashier said yes, so I paid for the 2 pizzas and some drinks, took my drinks and waited outside.
A little less than 10 minutes later a waitress brought out the Fire & Brimstone Pizza, but not the cheese pizza. My first impression, aside from the fact that we were short one pizza, was that it wasn't a very big pizza at maybe 12" across, but then their menu doesn't give you any idea how big these pizzas are so I had hoped it'd be bigger. Clearly I'd under-ordered for 6 people.
My guy and I picked at it politely as the kids sat there; thinking maybe the other pizza would arrive shortly, but within 10 minutes we decided it was a toss up between eating a stone cold pizza *whenever* the other pizza arrived, or eating this one hot now and inquiring on the missing pizza. We scarfed down the Fire & Brimstone Pizza; it was very tasty, it just wasn't enough. Later I ended up walking over to the vegan restaurant down the hallway to order a supplemental meal. In their hunger, our ravenous kids risked the heat of the jalapeƱos on the Fire & Brimstone Pizza and had some bites too, but because it was so small there wasn't much to go around for 6 people, but there were no complaints on the taste of the pizza.
A few minutes later I went back inside to find out what was going on and our waitress, who was very personable despite the situation, checked our order ticket and told me apologetically that it'd just be a couple more minutes... (What on Earth is the delay in making a pizza with 2 ingredients: sauce and cheese?) I could see the chef taking another pizza out of the oven at that same moment, so I assume the delay was that they forgot to put in all of our order.
Another 15 or 20 minutes later they brought the cheese pizza to us. By this time I had already composed this review in my head. I'm sorry you guys, do better with your order timing. Our kids were cranky and really hungry by the time their food arrived, well after mom and dad's food had been finished, and we could have just stayed home and saved the $34 that two little pizzas and 5 drinks cost us, not including the supplemental meal from The Uprooted Kitchen.
ETA: I'm willing to try them again because the food was good and the service was friendly, I just hope it doesn't go sideways again like it did this time.
