I like working in pizza because the customers are awesome..just remeber no one is perfect...and if you think you are please join a pizza shop and do an 80 hour week.

I also cant stand general assumptions...not everyone who works in pizza is uneducated..really...im working on my masters...its a big shocker to folks who ask me...sorry if this seems like a rant..but behind every rant is truth.

But aren't the complaints here "rants" as well, Jon?

For the record...I have zero complaints from the two local places I get pizza from, everything is always great,

I promise I wasn't generalizing, just complaining about this one shop.

So as I understand this the Pizza Delivery Guys work for irresponsible operations that do not know how to manage their business and do not pay their employees a living wage so therefore it is MY responsibility as a paying customer to make up for the drivers loss.

Don't worry I never have it delivered anymore because the pizza is not much good at any of the major delivery pizza places.

80 hour weeks? Jesus. Is that because they can't find people?

Back on topic, I always go get my pizza. I can have it delivered in an hour or pick it up in 15 minutes. I'll come pick it up. The only time I have it delivered is when I'm drunk.

pizza companies go through employees because its hard to find good workers. I started my new pizza gig a month ago..after my first week I was offered a full time job with a min of 60 hours a week. trust me good help is really hard to find.

It's a longer drive for you, KidRock, but I have Padrons if the pizza is REAL good!

Love pizza, but not the chain stuff.

Speaking of being treated like garbage by the owners, I knew a guy that delivered for the Hut a few years back. On delivery, a guy crossed the center line and crashed him. Hurt his back and totaled the car. Dude could only afford liability. After first telling him he'd be covered by his employer, they cut him loose a week later, with no way to pay for medical bills or a car(guy who hit him had no insurance). That's rough.

Sounds like some of y'all must need a new pizza joint. The two we use are awesome. Only ever had one problem and they made good on it within minutes.

Edit: and you gotta have onions on your pie, man.

Superbad · 03-18-2011, 10:41 PM

I worked in a pizza restaurant. It sucks being there next to that blast furnace of an oven. I worked for a local type place, and really don't like the pizza from the big chains. I try very hard to support the local guys, my kids will ask for Papa John's and I will get from Joey's, because it tastes way better. The kids get mad because I didn't order what they saw on the commercial.

icehog3 · 03-18-2011, 10:43 PM

I go strictly local too, luckily I have a couple great places within a couple blocks.

Last Michigan pizza I had was from Red Devil Pizza on Grand River when I lived in Detroit. Looks like I have another Motown pizza coming!

Worked as an Assit. Mgr in a pie shop when I was young and in college. Belive me it's no fun delivering pizzas all night long and getting the "keep the tip" line after they hand you a 10 dollar bill for a 9.99 pizza. Not to mention the wear and tear on your own car while also paying for your gas. I think that job came pretty close to costing me money just to work there.

On the other hand, I HATE the onion thing as well!!!!
