New York Pizza Palace --- what a nightmare!


i just checked cashcashpinoy.com and saw that new york pizza palace in a. venue mall is offering discounts again! and they actually changed the discount price —- from Php155 to Php199.. tsk, tsk.. folks, just say no. do not click that buy button or you’d be sorry!

i bought the same deal at cashcashpinoy.com earlier this month, only i got it at Php155. at that price, it wasn’t even worth it! i brought j with me, and i tell you, he’s one the most agreeable persons i know. it’s not very easy to put him in a sour mood. heck! he even considers it impolite to honk his horn when driving! i even went through all the trouble of actually “selling” new york pizza palace to him, just so he’d come with me. i said, the restaurant design is cool and pizza is eaten the way you would with a real new york pizza: you fold it!

anyway, when we got there, the place was almost empty, which was highly unusual for a saturday night. the crew didn’t seem to have any idea what to do —- should we place our order by the cashier or with the pizza guy? in the end, we were told to go directly at the cashier. j went for the NYPP Vodka Pie, which according to them, their bestseller; while i chose eggplant ricotta. after 20 minutes or so, our pizza hasn’t arrived! we made a follow-up and lo! and behold! nobody’s working on our order! nobody’s even aware of our order! as it turned out, my pizza wasn’t even available!

ok, no biggie —- things like these really happen. and so, i asked the food attendant for another vegetarian-friendly pizza. he offered me this white pie; even assured me it didn’t have any meat. after another 10 minutes, the attendant place two slices of greasy pizza in front of us —- both of them with meat!!

j stood up, took my plate, and went to the counter. well, he was still nice but it’s actually the first time i heard him speak in that tone! it was frightening.. they finally replaced my pizza with a slice of wild mushroom something-something. j tried my pizza, he said it’s better than his, which is funny because he ordered the “bestseller” afterall. we diluted our pizza with chili flakes and tobasco sauce, ate, and left the place, vowing to never ever set foot on it again.

believe me, your Php200 is worth more than that!
