We read some of the reviews (although they were old) and since we were camping nearby, thought we…read morewould give this a try. Unfortunately, it was sadly disappointing.
This is something they can't control, but the interior of the restaurant was extremely hot. Apparently they have air conditioning, but it was unable to keep up due to the temperature during the day being 39 degrees Celsius. Again, not their fault, but the cooks in the kitchen were working in 45 degree heat (according to the waitress), but would shut the restaurant down if it reached 50 degrees. My concern would be how sanitary would that be if the cooks are sweating in that heat?
We ordered a large "Sam's Mistake" pizza. It took awhile to arrive, but when it did, it had black olives on it. That was a "mistake" since that particular pizza doesn't have olives on it. I noticed it immediately and the waitress took it back to the kitchen. A replacement had to be made, so we had to wait longer in the very hot restaurant. When the pizza finally came, it looked anemic. Normally pizzas have a golden crust and the cheese is also golden. Also, there was next to no toppings on this pizza. It was supposed to have at least two types of meat, but none of the slices overlapped. The onions were in fairly large chunks, and we could easily count the green pepper, mushroom and pineapple pieces on the pizza. Cheese was also minimal as well. The pizza was very bland except for one thing: spice! It was relatively hot (spicy) which we have not noticed in other loaded pizzas elsewhere (this was like a loaded pizza). I can only assume it was spicy pepperoni?
There was only one waitress, and for awhile, she was run off her feet. When things slowed down, and while we were waiting for the correct pizza to arrive, she was emptying garbage from the bathroom and another location. I did not notice her wash her hands afterward, but I could have missed it.
The waitress was pleasant enough, but never once asked how our food was, and we didn't tell her, but we went away very disappointed. If we lived in this area, we would definitely not return. Perhaps there is no competition there for pizza. With regard to other food that they prepare (hamburgers, ribs, etc.) we cannot comment since we didn't have any of those.
However when we went to pay the bill, the waitress told us that a discount had been applied because the wrong pizza was made initially. We didn't ask for that; the discount was voluntary, so that was very nice of them to do.
Because the reviews that are online now are very old, perhaps there was a change in ownership because those reviews were very positive. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same. Hopefully this was just an off day affected by heat and perhaps other factors, and other patrons will have a better experience.
