HELL'S PIZZA, can go to HELL!

[StoneChucker]

Well, feeling really shitty lately, when I got home from another late night at work. Decided to get some pizza from Hells. Called them up, and I started to try talk and they just hang up on me. I wasn't quiet, I was mumbling like I normally do while trying to force a few coherant words out, and they fucking hang up. So I drive down there, and stand at the counter for about 2 mins, and don't get served. SO... I just pissed off and bought some Burger Wisconsin (which is FANtastic btw).

Now I didn't know that Hells Pizza had a policy of NOT SERVING people with speech, er, impediments? I guess they don't serve disabled people, colored or old people either. So, if you're absolutely perfect, you should have no problem buying a pizza from them.

I plan to write a shitty letter to whoever receives all the shitty letters at Hell, and tell them about it. And, when they send me some poxy free fries vouchers, I'll post them back, and tell them exactly where they can shove them.

After seeing Supersize Me (Maccy D's doco), I've never and will never go back to Mac D's. After THIS incident, I will NEVER buy a hells pizza, ever again.

All the staff can go to hell.

They seriously could have pushed me over the edge last night. I was really upset, from a whole host of things, and this was like the last straw.

Oh, it was Hells, Island Bay.

[JohnBoy]

Back in the day (if i my memory is correct) when i lived in j ville we got our hells from Khandahla (i think?) they were always spot on. i have had hells from other outlets and i must say that there must be very little quality control cause welly ones were heaps nicer than Tauranga and palmy!
i suppose its just the nature of your local beast.

[Hitcher]

I empathise with people with speech impediments, being a stammerer myself. I've learned to cope over the years but there is the odd occasion when I get thrown and have great difficulty getting a sentence started.

A lot of people associate speech difficulties with mental sluggishness and decrepitude. Silly fucks. I do my best not to perpetuate this myth!

Those of you who watch "Eating Media Lunch" may remember an episode a couple of months back when they got a guy to put on a good stammer and ring talkback radio hosts. The results were, well, interesting...

[Paul in NZ]

Stoney...

Take a chill pill son... I'm sorry you had a bad experience but it seems to me they are also copping the flak for a few other things not quite right at the moment eh? Calm down...

There is a gap between your expectation and their reality. Pizza places don't exactly pay brain surgeon money and the management expect a hell of a lot for the pittance they pay. No wonder the staff are not lways that motivated...

Add in all the uncontrolled little hellions that try to emulate Bart Simpson and make numerous prank calls to places like this and you can see where things start to unfurl.

Write a nice, considered, letter out lining what went wrong and asking if they have any constructive suggestions that would allow you to easily order a pizza over the phone. They don't want to miss out on business but they will respond to a nice letter better than a frothing gurgling one...

Yes, BF is indeed much much better than Burger Wisconsin.

Funnily enough, Hell and Burger Fuel are right next door to each other on Lincoln Rd in Henderson.

I did the online Hell ordering thing couple of nights back, they turned up in good time from Henderson even though I'm out of the official delivery zone (they don't 'do' Te Atatu Peninsula, WTF? but they delivered to me anyway, and I didn't even have to invoke the Wrath of Bruce) and quality was pretty good.

SC, your experience probably shouldn't be a reflection on the place itself, it should just get whichever employee took your order severely reprimanded or fired. Unfortunately you're never going to be able to pin down who it was, but the right letter will undoubtedly get the staff rounded up and Talked To about their phone manners.

I know who it was. A female answered, and when I went down there, there was only one female there. Shouldn't be hard to look at the duty roster. Stupid, daft, cow.

And Paul, sorry but I've had enough. You all have no idea how fed up I am with this (speech), and there is no excuse(for bad phone manners). I do admit, the actual product from Hells is Damn nice, which is a pity since I won't be going back.

I've never had Burger Fuel, but it was have to be amazing to beat BW :Punk:

Thanks Ola, but I already knew about the online Hell ordering.

Did I mention, I have to go back to the bike shop???!!!!! Or that I think every day about releasing a toxic nerve agent at work, just for a laugh? :angry2: :angry2:

My only solice will be on XMAS eve night, when I get to beat that fat bastard (yes, yes, I realise the irony in my statement) that comes down my chimney, to death with my fire poker!!!!!

My warped mind suggests that you take in a BIG SIGN that has your order on it because a deaf person can't see. This is based on the known fact that blind people are deaf, ergo. When you are around a blind person everyone starts talking louder, halirious.

I've decided that, YET AGAIN, crusty old, but wise Paul is right. I will probably loose interest and flag the letter. If I do somehow retain the interest, it will be a logical and respectful letter, outlining my concerns. However, I will mail back any free vouchers they send me, with instructions on where to file them.

hmmmm.... I wonder how a fat, naked guy sitting outside the door to Hells Island Bay, barking at potential customers would go down. :finger:

[StoneChucker]

Bad: MD, Hell

What you expect from "fast food": Pizza Haven, Pizza Hut, BK

Good: BW, KFC (I'm sorry, there's something in that greasy chicken, mmmm), Family owned cafes, exotic food shops (sushi, kebabs, etc...), the Big bacon shop/restaurant (at a big Servo stop/shopping centre) somewhere between Bay of Islands and Taupo, on SH1.

[BUBBLE]

Ill have to give Hell in Hastings A++, specially getting a pizza for lunch, taking it back to work and eating it by yourself in front of all the other guys in the smoko room. High quality pizzas, a V8 Hurse for deliveries and a three wheel motorbike thing with a flame job also for deliveries.

[StoneChucker]

My beef is with their policy and service. Their food is great, and delivery quick. I especially love, no, loved their chicken avo and bacon salad...

Oh well, no use reminiscing over times gone by, and besides, I ALWAYS beat those 3 wheel HELL bikes at Traffic light drags :scooter: heehhehehehe
Stick flames and a pizza box on the back of a Triumph Rocket, and I'll be impressed.

[Uncle B]

Don't worry too much about it Dave......you should try and deal with some of the arrogant, dumbass, redneck, trailor trash, inbreeds that I have the pleasure of serving day after day.
You should have come on the ride last night.
Cheer up Coast to Coast soon.

[StoneChucker]

I would have come on the ride, if it weren't for the fact I was at work ;)
Yep, don't you worry, bike shiny and ready for the coast to coast.

Funny though, I haven't washed my car in months... Don't have quite the same affection for it. :sleep:

Mmm, this is almost a Food Thread, now.

Well, a bottle of wine has fuzzed my State Highway remembering-neurons, so I'll just say that it's on the way to Tauranga. Is that SH2?

The pancake shop. There are eels in the creek, out back, if that helps place it in anyone's mind.

It's marvellous. The pancakes really are quite damn good, and they come with icecream. I even bundled Mrs Random and kids into the cage and went for a two-hour drive some weeks back as a result of a shared pancake craving. We tarried half an hour, and then drove the two hours home, with happy tummies.

[Milky]

That would most likely be SH2, although it does depend where you approach Tauranga from... That castle like building in Mangatawhiri is supposed to do very good ice creams too.

[Velox]

However, I will mail back any free vouchers they send me, with instructions on where to file them.

Oi - :eyepoke: give them to me!!! (minus the instructions). One of my little bros works at Hells in town, so I was about to tell you off until you said it was Island Bay. Man, I'm sooo hungry now and this isn't helping.

Good: KFC (I'm sorry, there's something in that greasy chicken, mmmm)

I think its called Salmenela
Got hit by it once on the bike riding hme, every 100m i had to pull over and throw up. In the end i collapsed outside a church on New North road.
Nice guy helped me in, gave me some water, and offered me a bed to crash in cos i was exhausted. My misses came and picked me up in the cage. I could hardly walk.
I have had alcohol poisioning, that rendered me completely unavailable to the world for a week - but this was much worse.
I lost 20Kgs in 3 days.
Never went back to KFC since then. When they were injecting the chickens with hormones, they must have shot mine up with Ebola

Point was fast food is crapola.


While we are about it read ‘Fast Food Nation’ by Eric Schlosser. It will open your eyes about the real impact upon society, not just the health effects.

It’s a blue book with a mock McDs French fries packet.

Go have a look for it this lunch time, it’s worth a look.

Good book. Came out about the same time as 'No Logo', but as opposed to the preachy, screechy PC hectoring of Naomi Klein, he admits to loving junk food, and then outlines the facts in a sober and no-judgemental manner. A bit like a more serious, in-depth version of 'supersize me'. Highly recommended.

I'd alos recommend the follow-up - 'Reefer madness', if you're interested in some good arguments against the 'war on drugs', US immigration policies, and their indecency laws.

[jrandom]

I just finished Fast Food Nation a few weeks back.

The author can't write for toffee, and the book's a wad of cheap sensationalism that would be better incarnated in a quarter of its existing length. IMHO.

But it does have quite a bit of interesting data about the industry, and it's probably worth a Sunday afternoon's read.

[Edit: I'm probably being unfair when I say 'the author can't write'. Really, what the book needs is some serious attention from a good editor. The fact that it was originally written as a cheap throw-away exercise and had a very small publishing budget, etc, is probably the cause of its rather amateurish style. And, of course, after it turned into a sleeper hit, it was a bit too late to go back and re-edit it. It still does the job of disseminating the info.]

Always nice to have a second opinion. I like authors who can back their arguments up with a big wedge of 'interesting data', something that is sadly lacking in 99% of so-called factual/journalistic writing.

I would guess you wouldn't like reefer madness. It needs even more attention from a goood editor, although again, it is chock full of data.

[loosebruce]

Well back onto the topic of Hell, SC your speech problem could cause you alot of greif, use the net, i have deaf people order over the net, lets see them use the phone, the system is pretty easy to use. Even Phill Patson the comedian in the wheelchair that can bearly speak, he use's the net, he's disabled too, so we do serve disabled people, and he loves it. And as for coloured people and old people, we serve them too.

It doesn't excuse bad customer service at all thou, i forwarded this theard to my area manager who in turn well forward it to the umm founder of hell, not the devil, but he's a good reasonalbe guy and will kick some serious arse down at the island bay store for you stonechucker. Find out who the girl was and mow her arse into the ground, any of my staff disrepect a customer and they're washing the pans until thier fingernails fall off, they learn, it's a shitty job.

Lay a complaint for sure, dont be a cunt about it though, i hate dealing with customers like that, if they come to me and are reasonalbe about things i will bend over backwards to help them out and put things right, when they start getting all angus and shit, like the guy who threatend to come down to my store and throw pizza in my face then stand outside ranting at my customer's and if i tryed to remove him he'd beat me up, oh and he used to be an ex police officer and he was recording our converstaion on a dicta phone and etc etc etc what a complete fuck. I have no time or tolerance for bullshit like this. Whoa chill bruce, chill, okay i'm cool.

Anyhow i will follow this up for you SC, and it wont be a shitty voucher for fries either, Hell ain't no pizza hut.

And yes burger feul far out weighs Burger Wisconsen, you need to get you and your R1 up this way for a ride and some BF.

sooo, does that mean he is now a police officer?

LOL ah no, although some interesting people do get to be police officers, this guy wasn't capable of being a parking warden, not that there's anything wrong with parking wardens, apart from the time i didn't have enough money to fix my car up to get it WOF and Reg'd cause i spent it all on the bike :ride: and had no off street parking at home so it was parked on the street out in the suburbs no hassle to anyone what so ever and got a $400 ticket for it, then payed the fine and still had no money to fix car.

I learned though, I sold the car........

Oh happy days :scooter:

[Dafe]

I'm in total agreement, I always wait for ages before somebody decides to serve me, usually I'll wait two to three minutes while the staff are chatting about something to do with nothing. I don't bother going there anymore, because of this. I started using Pizza Haven instead, but since they closed, I now phone order from Dominoes. I refuse to use Hells as your always guaranteed to end up pissed off.

[Skyryder]

Generally the food service in this country is bloody appalling. I make acceptions for fast food and takaways not only for the same reason that P in NZ states but the general bad manners of the NZ public when things go wrong. Having worked in the public areana for a few years I can tell a few stories to back up that claim.

However back to the bad service.

Last night the wife and I went to Valentino's just north of the Square in Colombo St. Busy as hell but that is to be expected on a Friday night. Nothing wrong with the bar service and the general manner of the staff with one exception.
I ordered a pasta dish with garlic bread. Nothing wrong with the garlic bread but it came about twenty minutes after being ordered, but the main meal did not arrive untill about an hour later. As you can guess the garlic bread had been eaten. So when the main came I ordered bread again to go with the main. Still no problem but in about five minutes when I asked how long the bread was going to be I got my head snapped off. I was in the process of telling the waitress that hot bread goes with hot food but before I could finish she just walked away. One thing that pisses me off real fast is that.

Any way went to pay the bill, to the waitress 'who walked away,' punched in my pin number and here is a message DO YOU WISH TO TIP...........YES..........NO. So I pressed NO and the machine showed WHAT AMOUNT. I pressed No and here it was asking for what amount. I need glasses to read these machines and sometimes I just press the buttons without looking at the readout. 'Said No and the machine did not believe me.' That was the last straw so I had a bitch about that as well as the bread arriving too soon for the meal and "young lady if a customer is talking to you listen to what they have to say before turning your back on them instead of mid sentance as you did and, and if this establishment wants to ask for tips then they had better improove the service." Wont be going back there again.

Seeing as this thread has been resurrected and it is about one of my favourite food groups, PIZZA, thought I would ask the Wellingtonians if Giovanni's is still operating? It was situated in Haitaitai(?). Go through the tunnel and head straight down. I left Welly in Dec '77, so it may not be thee now. I used to love the pizza's from there.

Now I didn't know that Hells Pizza had a policy of NOT SERVING people with speech, er, impediments? I guess they don't serve disabled people, colored or old people either. So, if you're absolutely perfect, you should have no problem buying a pizza from them.



Last time I was at Hells Pizza, I ask the staff for a pair of chop sticks and soya suace and he told me to fuck off. Racist pricks. How the hell am I suppose to eat my pizza? :whistle: :rofl:

After seeing Supersize Me (Maccy D's doco), I've never and will never go .

That Supersize me ,,,has...err sort of put me off the burgers to ...Me nan used to say everything in moderation ..so a mac now and then...

But it was those doctors that did it for me ...He did more damage than a seasoned drinker ,,( me being one!)

No wonder Mac over hear had a publicity campain showing how healty the burgers were !!! the really bad ones were hidden in the middle of the advert.. with really small print ....

Ho hum ..... anyway As to hells Pizza ... would be on the war path ,,,,,,

I see Hells Pizza have opened a branch not far from home here in Bishopdale, got a flyer in the mail but why no menu on the flyer, every other Pizza store flyer does, why? err maybe its more convenient? So whats the point of me ringing up and asking what the pizzas are and the prices, why not put it on the mailer? So they've got a website, frankly don't know if I can be arsed to have to logon and look up a website, just to order a pizza? :no:

[Paul in NZ]

No Giovannis sorry.

Is that the wog dude in the Hannahs building... Fricking BRILLIANT Pizza! The real deal not that...... 'other' stuff...

[Ramius]

Ooooh...I want to Rant..Rant about Pizza Hutt, Pizza Haven & Dominoes...all of which do not know how to make a Pizza...we will talk about my last order...
Rang up, said, I will have a make my own pizza which will have extra cheese, onion, tomato and beef, I will also have a supreme...'that will be ready in 25 minutes' No probs, until it reached 50 minutes, here are your pizzas sir... :mad:
I get them home, and hello, my pizza (the make my own) has dead pig on it! This elevates my stress levels more, I ring up Pizza Slut and get some guppy. Yes, we will replace that pizza for you and for the time spent waiting we will give you a free regular pizza on your next purchase...WHAT NEXT PURCHASE? I politely in my angry voice told her that this was not acceptable and that I wanted a refund and my pizza, she said no. What we can do is give you a replacement pizza and free side...she tipped me there. I started yelling, as one does asking her if she really thought that my 2 hours in time was worth $2.95..At this point I said, I am done with you, get me a team leader...
Team Leader came on, lovely English lady, we talked, we canoodled, as well as you can canoodle on a phone, and I stated my demands, I want a replacement pizza and a refund, he reply was, oh sorry, we can't do that. And of course my response was, well you better find a way. I then told her my life story in that EVERY order I get from there is screwed up, she commented that on the phone number I was calling from there had only been 2 orders, so I listed the other 5 numbers I use and there was stunned silence. She put me on hold and came back to the phone, said that my replacement pizza would be on the way, my refund would be coming with the driver, and what 2 free sides would I like.
Needless to say, when the pizza got here, the guy forgot one of the sides so had to come back. So, from the time of order to the time I was able to eat it was just over 2 hours.

And that was the last time I will purchase from Pizza Slut, Crapnoes or Pizza Crappen.

[amylou]

I plan to write a shitty letter to whoever receives all the shitty letters at Hell, and tell them about it. And, when they send me some poxy free fries vouchers, I'll post them back, and tell them exactly where they can shove them.

I sympathise theres nothing worse than shitty service even on a good day but hey aint it better to get the vouchers and use them even if you don't eat the pizza, cause it means a loss for them.
I dunno small gesture but free pizza!

Hells pizzas are good, there service sucks big time. They have got it all wrong and late more often than they have got it right. And these arent little mistakes, these are ones that have nearly killed someone.

Seems all you peeps bitching about Hell are in Welly mostly and the ones in akld dont come to my store in Ellerslie, welly hell is all shit, i feel sorry for you guys that have to deal with them, feel free to rock up to akld to my store and i'll show ya service and good food, Friday night we had deliverys in peak times out to some people in less than 20mins others were less than 30min, sure odd mistake here and there, shit happens but i sort it and compenstae it genoursly, and i aint talking quiet business, we were 3rd busiest in the country selling close to $8000 worth of food on friday alone.

Alas the punters that owned the Ellerslie store have sold it to this other joker (he's cool thou) and i'll be left without a job soon (to the streets :rofl: ) but all going to plan i'm opening my own store up in pukekohe,think about it - hard day on 22 and stop in and see ol loosebruce for a damned good feed at the end of it.

Moral of the story if it aint a pizza from a loosebruce hell it all shit, it is going to get a bit hard to look after me regulars though with the new owner, but i wasn't brought up in naenae for nothing so i'm sure i'll think of something for ya's.

And i cant deliver to welly before any of ya ask, i dont have a car and the pizza sure as shit wont be in one peice by the end of it on the gixer, if i didnt eat it first.

I don't know mate the one here in Hamilton at 5 Cross Roads is pretty good. Even more so after the rebuilt it after it burning down earlier this year.

Seeing as this thread has been resurrected and it is about one of my favourite food groups, PIZZA, thought I would ask the Wellingtonians if Giovanni's is still operating? It was situated in Haitaitai(?). Go through the tunnel and head straight down. I left Welly in Dec '77, so it may not be thee now. I used to love the pizza's from there.

Zadok: Giovannis is long gone. I remember many a good night there in the early '80s. They used to serve pina coladas in hollowed-out coconut shells. Ah, those were the days.......

5 cross roads pretty good huh yeah maybe, but how much do you pay there, why dont you ask Death INC, Twosmoker, Mattt, Drunken Monkey, Speedmedic, Motoracer etc etc how much they pay when they see me and then decide if they are better :whistle:
