I ordered vegetarian with chilli peppers, the same as I've ordered countless times before. But this was quite literally covered in them, and they hadn't removed the seeds. I love hot food but this was just totally impossible to eat, even after I'd picked them off. My eyes were watering and my nose was running.

I called to complain and they told me if I didn't like chilli I shouldn't have ordered it. What a fat waste of £10.

Is this a chain place or privately owned? Either way, write a letter to the owner/manager and complain.

I did think you meant it was an indelible pizza and you hadn't been able to wash a stain out of your clothes .

I guess the problem is with delivered stuff that you can't send it back like you can in a restaurant. You could keep it I guess, and go back the next day and ask the manager to tell you if that is how they normally make them...?

AmIWhatAndWhy · 28/10/2008 12:28

Ha, I didn't spot that.

It is an independent place, we have been using them for six years and never had any problems before. It's still in the fridge, I might ring again and speak to someone else.

I would never order chilli's on my pizza as I have had the same as you AmI-pizzas that have blown my head off,it's very difficult to judge when making a pizza-my dh would eat one covered in chilli but I can't handle it.

I keep dried chilli's at home and add to premade pizzas so I can control the heat on mine.

Good luck with getting your money back though.

AmIWhatAndWhy · 28/10/2008 16:28

Nice

As I said i've had the same pizza loads of times before, but never like this.

I am pissed off as takeaway is a very rare treat in our house and it was shit to not be able to eat it and have a cheese sandwich for dinner as a result.

pmsl TSMOD

YABU I sometimes have a great take away sometimes shit.

I had Pizza hut the spicy one it was very hot but I ate it and never ordered it again

Amandoh · 28/10/2008 16:42

YANBU.

If you've had the same pizza from the same place several times and it's always tasted the same and you've enjoyed it then it's not unreasonable to be a bit miffed when it tastes so different that you can't eat it.

Not sure whether it's worth complaining again though. You might end up with more than too many chillis on your next order.

If I were you, in future I'd order the vegetarian then add my own chillis.

filz · 28/10/2008 16:43

what because they changed the cook????

of course its unreasonable

AmIWhatAndWhy · 28/10/2008 16:44

I've never had chillis that are not deseeded on a pizza?

AmIWhatAndWhy · 28/10/2008 16:44

DP has said he will eat it tonight anyway.

OP posts:
filz · 28/10/2008 16:45

did you specify that though?

AmIWhatAndWhy · 28/10/2008 16:53

Oh for gods sake, this is boring me now.

Having ordered something countless times you sort of know what to expect.
