- pizza” Now I will learn to always cross-check with Google because this was laughably the worst delivery I ever ordered. There was some weird sweet taste to the sauce and I just couldn’t even finish the first slice. They also forgot to add the pepperoni and bacon, but if the pizza had at least tasted good, I might have forgiven them.
- foodThis location used to be called "Apollo's calzone & pizza" on Yelp, but they shut it down and changed the name due to bad reviews. They are now on Uber Eats, and I have never been so unhappy with the food I received. Every item was wrong, but I didn't have a choice on my lunch break.
- breadWe paid extra for chicken, but it arrived with only a minuscule shred, about a centimeter in diameter, and it looked questionable. The meal was supposed to include a garden salad and bread, but the salad was missing, and the bread was burnt to a crisp. We were quite disappointed because we wanted to like it.

Based on the feedback, the food here is consistently disappointing. With numerous complaints about taste, accuracy, and quality, it's probably best to manage your expectations or consider other options if a good meal is your priority.
Service (2.7 out of 10)
mentioned by 52% of the guests
Looking at the service, a small number of customers (4 out of 23 total comments) did find some positives. They mentioned nice guys and even praised a guy working for great service, appreciating that the restaurant was open late. It seems a few lucky folks had a decent interaction.
However, the overwhelming majority of feedback, with 19 negative comments, paints a different picture. Many customers faced issues like wrong order and difficulty getting anyone to answer the phone. Reports of long waiting time and problems with delivery were frequent, contributing to a poor score of just 2.7 and customer satisfaction at a low 17.4%.
It suggests significant room for improvement in service.

Ambience (1.9 out of 10)
mentioned by 30% of the guests
While the overall vibe for ambience seems to be struggling, there was one glimmer of hope among 10 remarks, mentioning a friendly and welcoming vibe. This single positive note suggests that some guests might find a pleasant atmosphere, despite the very low score of 1.9 and a customer satisfaction of just 10%. However, the overwhelming sentiment from 9 negative comments paints a stark picture.
Many describe the place as literally a hallway with a kitchen and worry about health hazards, with some even noting how the place looks gross. The confusion about 3 different names also adds to the poor impression, indicating significant issues with the overall atmosphere.

Value (1.4 out of 10)
mentioned by 26% of the guests
Regarding value, it seems customers havent found much to cheer about. There are no positive opinions to highlight from the feedback, meaning no one felt they got a great deal or excellent bang for their buck. This absence of upbeat remarks sets the stage for a different story.

Many feel like theyve been scammed or experienced wasted money, with complaints about paid for things not arriving, being demanded to pay extra $15, and generally finding the price paid to be too high for what they received. These 8 negative comments paint a clear picture of disappointment.

Terrible Food and Service
My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. They made my order wrong, and the part of the order that they did get wrong tasted like poverty. I was shocked by the quality, questioning if this was some sort of jail food simulator.
I honestly believe I could find better tasting food wedged between my couch cushions. They should seriously consider hanging a sign that says “sorry we’re open”.

Worst Food Experience Ever
My experience at this restaurant was incredibly disappointing. I ordered drinks online for pickup, only to be told they had run out and had no replacements. The so-called 'chicken bites' were also a major letdown.
I was so hungry and had spent my last money here because they were open late, but I ended up going to sleep hungry. I would rather endure extreme hardship than eat here again. This place seems like a front, as I can't imagine how they stay in business.
It was the WORST FOOD EVER, and I HATE THIS PLACE WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING.

Funny Disappointed Reviews
I came here from Uber Eats, drawn by some questionable reviews on the app, just to verify if they were truly as bad as stated. Instead of getting food, I got to glaze my eyes on some of the funniest disappointed reviews I've read in the past six months to a year. Thank you for leaving your comments.
I did not order pizza from here, which is what I was really craving right now.

Awful Service and Bland Pizza
I'm not one to leave bad reviews, but my experience here was so awful that I feel compelled to warn others to avoid wasting their money. My friends and I ordered online, and they got the food order wrong. While mistakes happen, their reaction was unacceptable.
When my friend showed them the order details to confirm the incorrect toppings and asked for it to be fixed, they demanded an extra $15, despite us already paying $42 for the correct item. The most disturbing part was the aggressive behavior of a man inside towards our Black friend. He treated him as if he were trying to scam or steal, when he was simply and politely trying to resolve the order issue.
This discriminatory treatment was the final straw that prompted this review. Furthermore, the pizza itself was disappointing; it lacked flavor and sauce, as evidenced in the photo. For a $42 pizza, I expected at least some sauce.

Wrong Orders, Repeatedly
My experience ordering from this restaurant has been disappointing. I've ordered twice via Uber Eats, and both times the food was incorrect. It's baffling how a pepperoni pizza could be switched for a chicken ranch pizza on two separate occasions.
