Ordered a large pizza and when we received it my wife bit into a slice and 2 strands of hair pulled out of the cheese. That was the most disgusting thing we have ever seen. Are we not following health standards or protocols? Never again

We stopped going to this location and driving out to White Oak because they were constantly messing up our order. We gave them a try again since they are closer to home. The last two times they have forgotten an item. While there two other people were having the same issue. They were not busy in the least. Seems like it is run by a bunch of teenagers. Save yourself the headache and go to another location. Such a shame.
