Pizza World (Carryout)

  Well, I got a menu stuck to my door from Pizza World and had read over it a couple of times. Their pizza's really sounded good, but the calzones really sounded great. They said they were filled with ricotta and mozzarella cheese and your choice of two toppings. They were 7.50 apiece, but I was wanting a quick supper for just myself as everyone else had dinner plans. I wanted to stay home as I wasn't feeling too great so Jerry called it in for me. I ordered one with Canadian bacon and mushrooms. The menu had both Canadian bacon and ham so I assumed by that there was a difference. At any rate he headed in and picked it up. Took about ten min. from our house to there and back. I opened it up and was a bit disappointed. It wasn't much to look at, but I figured that was OK if it tasted good. The first thing I noticed was a lack of cheese. I actually had to open it up and look to find any cheese and believe me, there wasn't much. The meat was sliced ham...like the packaged deli style ham that you buy at the store. It was like they took it out of the package, folded it over and stuck it inside. Then they put mushrooms in around it. The ham was cold in the middle and the mushrooms were literally raw. I love raw mushrooms on salad, but not on pizza. To top it off it was all liquidy on the bottom and therefore the bottom crust was soggy. I don't know if it was due to the pizza sauce, or the ham juices, but it was horrible. We called them back and complained. The customer service person was not at all friendly but offered to either remake it or put us down for 50% of one another day. We opted for a new one even though we had to waste the gas. He got back and they had improved the amount of cheese, but nothing else was changed. Too much cold meat, raw mushrooms and soggy crust. I was not impressed...it was horrible. Now it might have been that the toppings I ordered just made a bad combination....or they were having an off night. It is also possible that it would have been better if eaten in the restaurant. This review does not cover their pizza in any way and I may try that in the future, but this experience was sure not a good one! I do have to say though that their ranch dressing is awesome!! Always a light in every dark tunnel..lol
