| - When I first came to U of I, I liked this place. It is close to the main quad (as opposed to many places that are past 6th or 5th street) and it is convenient if you need a quick bite
Pizza quality is "meh", pretty oily, crust is lacking with regard to flavor.
They have daily specials such as "buy 2 slices get a free drink" and "buy 2 slices and get a 3rd slice free", but I have not had good experience with these. The first time I went, I bought 2 slices and as the person was ringing me up, I saw the sign on the side and inquired about my free drink (it was during the free drink time), she responded, with much attitude "you could have told me!", but she did give me my drink.
Another time I went during the "buy 2 get a 3rd free" time, and asked for 2 slices of cheese pizza. As they were being reheated, I was asked to pay, so I did. Still waiting for my pizza to be reheated, I noticed the sign. I inquired about the 3rd slice but was told that I had to have asked before paying. I asked if I could be refunded and then they could reprocess my order, but the guy said he couldn't do that. He said he had to "keep track" of the pizzas, otherwise he would get fired (mind you I have seen them throw away old pizza slices when they are running out of room for their new pizzas). He then went on about the various signs everywhere displaying the deals (which by the way are small) and how his outdoor sign kept falling over. I didn't feel the need to argue any further, so I waited for my pizza. The guy then stepped back and whispered to the other guys behind the counter, after which they "just happened" to say the same things he did, pointing out the same outdoor sign and all.
I took my pizza and left, and don't really feel like going there again.
