    I honestly think if the guy would have been polite about it instead of so condescending this would have been a totally different video... I mean the pizza was still cold so it would have gotten a trash score but we would have been a lot nicer.

    The Mauro box was such an upswing. Thats awesome.
    My pet peeve is food temperature. If it is something hot, it should be hot. If its something cold, okay, it's cold. Never had the inconvenience of an uncut pizza, but have had a few sandwiches that were not cut down the middle, and those were weighty sandwiches

    I've eaten a Neapolitan pizza with a knife and fork before but it was real cutlery that was provided and the pizza was very small so wasn't a big deal, but if a paying customer wants their pizza cut then the person in the place needs to put a smile on, say no problem and cut it for you. Don't work in the hospitality industry if you're unable to be hospitable and want to make sure your customer enjoys their visit and the food/experience.
    Sorry for long comment but I agree with you guys, great video as always :)

    I am sorry you guys had such a bad experience, but in a way I am happy that you have exposed a couple of real scams IMO. The first is West Loop in general. I am 59 and remember when west loop was skid row. I know gentrification created lots of jobs, economic development etc, but as far as restaurants go I think West loop more often than not exemplifies the kind of garbage you experienced at this place. I live in Printers Row so that is my bias on a neighborhood vibe. Also in general i think Neapolitan pizza in The US is complete BS for the price. Completely insane to pay $23 for a tiny mediocre pizza that would cost about $8 in Italy and be twice as good.

    • @CoreyWagnerChicago
      @CoreyWagnerChicago Месяц назад

      I agree with so much in this comment! Printers Row is phenomenal by the way! I made a fun vlog about Printer's Row and it just has a lot of sick local businesses that are awesome and have some depth to them. And yeah I totally agree with the west loop sentiment. I of course think the west loop has a bunch of cool stuff and great spots to eat but there is a bit of an air of superiority around that that I can't stomach all that well.
