| - WHEN the pizza is heated properly, it's not too bad. If you're hungry. At least, it's better than Cora Pizza, the next door competitor.
Problem being--they NEVER heat it long enough. Today I ran out of patience with the soggy crust, congealed cheese and lukewarm topping that this underheating produces. (I'm also pregnant, so wanted to make sure the deli meats on the slice were heated through properly.) So I asked the lady to put it back in the oven for me for a little while. (I was perfectly polite, btw.)
You would have thought I had just asked her if I could take a pee in their sink.
She was SO grudging and rude, shaking her head and mumbling under her breath. Seriously?!? Lady, if you are not prepared to meet a simple, easy request from a customer who doesn't want to get food poisoning from your tepid pizza, you should not be in the business. Go and do something in an industry where you don't ever have to interact with people.
Anyway, once they had put it back in the oven for 2 minutes longer, the pizza was fine. I don't know why they don't just do this in the first place. Is it because they think people are in such a rush they'd rather eat cold, soggy pizza than wait an extra 2 minutes? Or is it because they are trying to sling as many slices in as little time possible? Either way they should have a little more respect for their product, and their customer. I might give it one more try, but if I get the same cold pizza followed by a death stare again, no way Jose.
I think the place has such a high rating bc people are comparing it to Pizza Pizza, which is honest to god the worst, most overpriced pizza in the world. Seriously, saying that this is way better than Pizza Pizza is not saying much at all. If you think Papa Ceo's is the peak of pizza perfection, I feel sorry for you, my friend. It's greasy, cheap pizza--pretty satisfying when it's done right (or you're stoned off your chops), but that's it.
Also taking off a half star because they don't have hot sauce (at least the didn't today). Only thing that makes cold pizza palatable IMO.
