- customer servicecustomer service SHOULD BE OF A HIGH LEVEL OF IMPORTANCE
- serviceincredibly disappointed with the service I received
- staffMy experience at this restaurant was not good. I felt I was not treated well by the staff and was detained for a long time while waiting for my Uber order. I waited 25 to 30 minutes.
- deliveryI was told by another location that they knew the owner for this location and service to my location would be honored. However, I was informed that because my address was “downtown, ” they did not deliver, despite it not even being 3 miles away. This was a frustrating experience with the delivery service.
- employeeemployee told me it's only for costumers who pay at least 7$
- attitudehis tone and customer service was coming across hostile
- card declinedMy experience at this restaurant was extremely negative. Their machine wasn't working, and my card declined twice. When I tried to order again with a new card, they literally yelled at me for trying again and then hung up on me.
- delivery serviceI was refused delivery to my address in downtown, even though another Round Table Pizza location guaranteed they could deliver. I was told by another location that they knew the owner for this location and service to my location would be honored.
- orderWe then rushed over. However, upon arriving no more than 10 minutes later, it became clear that the employee hadn't even placed my order. She seemed annoyed then fumbled with the computer, though the restaurant appeared nearly empty.
- restroom accesshad to use the restroom first. Guy told me I had to buy first, then use the restroom.
If you're considering a visit, be prepared for a mixed bag when it comes to service. While some encounters are positive, the low overall score suggests you might face significant frustrations, especially with staff attitude and efficiency. Proceed with caution, as the experience could easily disappoint.

- priceThe dough was spongy, the sauce was bland, and the toppings were uninspired. Of all the pizza chains, this is my least favorite and also the most expensive. It will be a while before I consider eating at Round Table again.
- $35give me bck my $35 now
- 40 dollar wasteNot a 40 dollar waste
- bag chargecharge me $1 extra for a bag
- basic packagingWhen I questioned this policy, the employee refused to budge and insisted on the charge. It's baffling that a pizza restaurant would nickel-and-dime customers for basic packaging. If this is a new policy, it's a terrible one.
- cash paymentI only have cash
- new policyIf this is a new policy, it’s a terrible one
- overchargeThey tried to overcharge you
- paymentHe charged my order with my debit card and then told me your payment was denied
- pizza sizepizza was overpriced for its size.
If youre on a tight budget or expect generous portions for your dollar, this might not be your best bet. While a lunch special could offer some relief, be prepared for potentially pricey' items and unexpected charges that could impact your overall value perception.
