Pizza order...

I placed a dominoes pizza order about four minutes ago... In my haste for disgusting yet amazing food, I forgot to select the stuffed crust thingy on my pepperoni passion.

I realised this at once and just rang the branch. I was met with an abrupt 'no fuck off, you pizza is made. The kitchen is closed' in a very strong Italian accent...

So basically. He refused to change it, told me the pizza had been made and the kitchen was closed. And there was to be no deviation to do with crusts or otherwise... it was literally 120 seconds before me pressing send and then realising my error and then trying to call the branch, so to round it up, about 3 mins...

Argh. I am gutted. I know it's my fault but after a hard day battling the ex and looking after the little baby, I thought I deserved a pizza.

Did he actually say fuck off? Just pay for you pizza, enjoy it and send a complaint to Domino’s tomorrow.

Exactly. You'll probably get a voucher for a free pizza next weekend

See the funny side OP. Because it is a little funny.

Complain tomorrow and get a free voucher, you found it very distressing after all...

He actually told me to fuck off! If I had been less sleep deprived and less in need of a pizza I might have been more assertive.

That is not cool though is it???

With no disrespect any Italian mnetters the conversation went as so (thus if you will)

Pm (pizza man): 'allo'
Me: (Kate Middleton - couldn't think of a better alias) - erm, sorry to bother you, I placed an order about a minute or so and it included a pepperoni passion??
Pm: si
Me (km if you will): erm, sorry I forgot to order the cheesy crust thing, on the pepperoni passion...
Pm: si.
Me - Km; can I add that?
Pm: over theatrical Italian ways (could just imagine him gesticulating over the phone) - intelligible Italian, which essentially couldn't give a fuck, the kitchen was closing at 11 (this was 10.40ish) and I should be bloody grateful to get a sodding pizza anyway.
Soooo anyway, pizza plus various other crap jthat I didn't order but somehow is supposed to make up for the stuffed crust, turned up about 10 mins ago.

Sounds like they tried to make it right despite the rude guy on the phones!

I'd have a whinge at Dominoes on twitter anyway, not a great experience by the sounds of it.

Tbh surprised that any actual Italians work for somewhere like Dominoes! Sure that was the accent?

Also forgetting to stuff the crust isn't such a massive deal, you wanna dip the plain ol crusts in the garlic and herb dip! Stuffed crust seems to miss the point. It's always pretty gross too, overcooked and bland.

questioningmyveryexistence · 14/04/2018 23:58

Yep he was definitely Italian (speaking from bitter experience from a dalliance with an Italian man. Sure he was a one off prick though, and that the rest of them are lovely!)

I don't even know how to work Twitter. I am just saddened that the stuffed crust (yes it's gloopy and quite disgusting, but it takes your mind off the bland pepperoni, and the bleakness of life in general (only half joking)

Hah! Definitely complain on social media somewhere - he was an arsehole for no reason and if he's like that often it will mean something to an investigation. The potential free pizza is neither here nor there. (lol)

Depends entirely in what other sides they threw in for gratis. I mean, are we talking a couple of extra dips or chicken wings/dough balls and a dirty ice cream concoction?

Details! Details!!! (Food is very important to me too)

FrancisUnderwood · 15/04/2018 01:18

I guess what I'm saying is I'd take a 'fuck off' on the chin for remuneration with food.
