Pappa's Pizza - Pepperoni Roll

Pappas Pizza Pepperoni Roll

Location: Corner of Chicago & Market Street, Youngstown, Ohio.
The order: Pepperoni roll and a large order of Jojo fries.
The Service: Pappa’s touts and offers free delivery service. Let me begin by saying that we ordered and were told our order would be delivered at noon. They were a little late. Two hours late!

Wait, it gets worse. To top it off, we received the wrong order when it did arrive. The delivery guy simply said that he must have delivered our order by mistake to someone else and that someone else had our order. I knew right away that we were dealing with a real Einstein here. Delivery boy then said that he would go and retrieve our order and switch it with the order we received. Then everything would be fine. A quick phone call to Pappa’s halted this scenario. We demanded fresh and hot food instead of the incorrectly delivered order that someone had already accepted.

More time passed. Finally, our order was delivered but there was something still missing. There were no apologies, no free coupons, nothing. The delivery guy didn’t say a single word. At least they were consistent.
The Taste: Do you see the picture? It does not do the pepperoni roll justice. This had to be the thinnest pepperoni roll in the universe. It wasn’t even half an inch tall. It was also soggy. For a moment, I thought it was a sponge. The grease was oozing from it’s innards as if it had been shot with a .357 Magnum and dying a slow and painful death. I should have had pity on it and put it out of it’s misery but a picture had to be taken.

Onward to the Jojo fries. One word. PATHETIC! If this was the large order, I would hate to see the regular order. And, these were not Jojo fries but a cheap imitation. They were also cold.

Presentation: The pepperoni roll was wrapped in aluminum foil to apparently keep the mummification process intact. The so-called Jojo’s were in a white plastic container.

The Value: The price was $4.50 for both. Since the food was not edible, it was $4.50 to much.

The Rating: 0 out of 5 shots. The order was two hours late, the order was wrong, and no restitution was rendered.

The Grassy Knoll Diner DOES NOT recommend Pappa’s pizza for lunch or dinner. EVER!!!
