Another day with a pair'a'dice

Well, the weekend was upon me and gone before I knew it. Working Saturdays tend to do that! But we tried to enjoy ourselves on Sunday by getting a DVD of Friends from our local rental, and then ordering Pizza.

So, Domino's picks up the phone and I place my order (Pepperoni and Cheese - yum!). Unfortunately they don't deliver to our place, and since I don't feel like ordering from elsewhere, I decide to go pick it up while I'm picking up some beer. (Why don't we have beer delivery guys by the way? Separate topic though!)

A little while later they call back to say No pepperoni, no spicy chicken, only BBQ chicken. So I ask them to put extra jalapenos on top, and that I would be there in 10 minutes.

So I get out the car, drive down in the rain, pick up the beer and park in front of Domino's 20 minutes later. This should be a simple task. I'm already 10 minutes late, so all I need to do is dash in, grab the pizza, pay the guy and dash out again - Friends here I come!

Of course, real life has a way of disappointing you sometimes. I was asked to wait for 2 minutes, the pizza was ready and needed to be taken out of the oven. 5 minutes later, I was told the same thing. In fact, 20 minutes later, I got so fed up, I left without the pizza and being my optimistic self, drove to the next Domino's outlet.

When I got there, and this was only 9pm, I was told that they only had Chicken Kheema, which I despise - who eats Kheema on a Pizza for God's Sake!

So I left Domino's to it's own miseries and crossed the road to US Pizza, which told me that they hadn't got Pepperoni, and I didn't want their other Pizzas which were pretty much Tandoori food on a Pizza. (I mean if I want Tandoori food, I'd eat Tandoori - why would I want it on my Pizza?)

So then I head to Pizza Hut, which thank heaven's has got Pepperoni. I promptly bang down my money and am told that it would take another 20 minutes for the Medium Pepperoni and Cheese pizza to get ready. 30 minutes later, the guy brings it out.

Sorry Sir, we ran out of Medium Pizza base, so I've made 2 personal pan pizzas for you instead.

Oh well, at least two small pizzas is better than no pizza at all. (Although not really what I wanted!)

So how difficult is it to get a Pizza in this city? Something good, and hot and fast? Or if you have a secret to getting your pizza, do let me know.
