REVIEW: ROUND TABLE PIZZA

Last night when I got home from work I was very tired & very burnt out. I was too tired to cook anything & I didn't want to go out. I cracked open an ice cold bottle of Moosehead & drank a shooter of whiskey. Just then the idea of pizza popped into my head. Pizza, that sounds good.

I always order a medium combination, it's a good pizza at an affordable price. So I looked through the phone book & started calling places. The first call was to Mountain Mike's Pizza. With the delivery charge, they wanted almost $20.00 for a medium combo. That's too high! We are talking pizza, not a steak dinner. So I called a couple of other places with pretty much the same scenario.

One thing I noticed is that Sacramento must have 500 pizza places. Is this really necessary? Perhaps if Walmart started selling Pizza's it would eliminate the hassle of buying a pizza.

Searching through the phone book, I decided to drink another Moosehead & whiskey shooter.

Feeling no pain, I called Round Table Pizza. The fast talking guy on the phone took my info: my name, address & phone number. I asked for a medium combination & he said blah blah blah... He basically sold me on some other pizza that was just as good as a medium combination.

He said it was $14.99 with a $2.25 delivery charge & $1.51 tax. The total would be $18.75.

So let me ask my readers this question. Is the delivery charge the delivery person's tip? Do you tip the delivery driver on top of the delivery charge? Who gets the $2.25? For years this has bothered me.

So anyways I agreed to the $18.75 & the fast talker told me it would be 30-45 minutes. OK, 30-45 minutes is cool.

About 15 minutes later there was a knock on my door. I opened the door to "Mr. X" my Round Table Pizza delivery man. He said nothing as I handed him a twenty dollar bill. I noticed my pizza was not in the Red Pizza Jacket (the thing that keeps the pizza warm).

I asked him if he had any red pepper or Parmesan cheese. He responded "nah man".

This was the first time in my history of ordering pizza's that a delivery guy had no red pepper or Parmesan cheese. Honestly, what's the world coming too?

I said, OK thanks... And he just walked away.

I find it ironic that I thanked him & he didn't thank me.

The pizza was very big & very greasy.

As I was eating greasy slice after greasy slice I looked at the receipt. The guy had sold me a large King Arthur's Supreme for $22.50, then discounted it $7.51. Then he added in the delivery charge & tax.

So I guess I got a deal....

I give Round Table Pizza 1 out of 4 stars.

Will I order from Round Table Pizza again? Nah man.
