My work crowd does not really head out to lunch all to often. In fact, since I've been at work, we've only actually ventured off of the campus twice for food - and one of those occasions was today. We went to a local pizzeria that is known for delicious delicious crust and absolutely fantastic iced tea. Rave reviews.
Our food arrives and a member of our table had ordered a personal pizza with pineapple and jalapeños. An odd combination, I guess, but no more unreasonable than anything else anyone puts on a pizza. Her pizza came with pineapple and pepperoni, not jalapeños. The waitress was incredibly apologetic, and went to correct the order. She left the first pizza behind - a freebie. The woman who was missing her pizza instructed us all to go ahead an eat. So about halfway through the meal her new pizza arrives. Jalapeños and... Pepperoni! Now there are two correct toppings, but they are on two separate pizzas. Plus this woman looks like the hungriest person on the planet with all this food in front of her. The waitress stops and asks what's wrong when everyone at the table stops eating/talking/moving because we're so confused at how this could happen twice. She apologizes profusely again and offers to bring a side of pineapple, but the problem is not that the topping is missing so much as that the pepperoni is present. At this point we're practically finished, so my teammate (sans pizza) just requests the correct pizza to go. We are trying to get back to work, after all. Right before we leave, a new pizza arrives in a to-go box, with two extra to-go boxes for the extraneous pizzas. We can't stand it and take a peek at the final pizza offering... Pineapple and pepperoni - again. Three pizzas, all wrong. First matches the third no less. Poor teammate!
On an aside, they did really have fantastic iced tea and my pizza was delicious.
