Cons: The food was just terrible

OH MY GOD!! I will never again go to another Pizza Delight. This is the second disaterous visit and its a mistake that my stomach can not take again.

It was around 6:00 one fine weekday evening when I had a hankering for some Pizza. Since I don't know my way around Truro I stuck to what was available on Robie St. That woudl be Pizza Delight.

On entering I noticed the joint was rather empty for any night. I think there was 3 other people in there. I was greeted somwhat quickly and seated. To save time, because I had a 2 hour drive ahead of me, I decided to take the buffet.

I could see from my table there were 3 pizzas on the heater that were almost untouched. I figured they where freshly done so I decided to take a few minutes to toast some bread befor lunging for the pizza. One lady working there, possibly the manager?, decided to give me a lecture on how to toast bread properly on the grill befor I started because appaently the patrons of this establishment are not smart enough know how to toiast bread on a grill. Moving on, I went for my Pizza and loaded up with some garlic fingers as well. The garlic finger were not bad. Greasy but not bad. Then I moved on to the pizza. It was far from fresh. I am sure it was sitting there for about 3 hours. Perhaps they only had it there for decoration and any sucker daring enough to try it. Well, it was on my plate now and there was nothing else to try so I slowly ate it. It was a tastless grease soaked floppy sponge like cut out that barely passed for pizza. I was very dissapointed. Looking up there was still 1/2 of the pizza still there and another table just entered looking for the buffet also. Not wanting more I asked when the next pizza was comming out. They were not even starting one yet. I tolde the waitress I did not want anymore of what was there because it was no good so she went back to have another pizza prepared. Great.... no time savings here, I could have just ordered a custom pizza and been done by now.

Well, after a painfull 15 minute wait the next pizza was sent out. It looked great. I grabbed a few slices and went back to my table. Immidiatly I noticed the grease. It was litterally dripping with grease. Still hungry I ate the pizza. Well, almost ate the pizza. I could not do it. The grease became overwhelming and I felt nauseated I had to stop and that was it. I flagged a waitress who was chatting with a friend or regular and requested the check and left.

I have been to Pizza Delight 2 times in 3 years and both have been disgusting. Never again will I eat at Pizza Delight.
