Based on twice as many comments than a post normally gets, it's definitely a frustrating post. When I'm putting up a post, the only person I expect to read it is my mother. Anyone else telling me they saw some in this space is an infrequent surprise.<br /><br />I worked in a few places when I was younger (a pub, a Friendly's and a bakery). That combined with researching a potential food business plan, I know how hard the business is. So I didn't want me whining in an unedited rant to drive away a potential customer. When pizza is involved, I try to go in with low expectations for the quality so I can be pleasantly surprised instead of disappointed. On Sunday, I was optimistic and excited...then disappointed and that's what lead to the post (which actually was cathartic for me).<br /><br />I do plan to return to this restaurant as soon as possible to see if this was an anomaly or if that's just the pizza there. Maybe I'll summon the courage for either a full review or a disection of the pizza with pictures...and a name.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. Hopefully you'll do it again sometime.

But I have to say that as a reader, getting through the whole post without finding out the restaurant was intensely frustrating. The only information I am left with is that you got a bad slice of pizza. Without knowing where, the post does not have value for a reader. Of course, perhaps writing it made you feel better, which is certainly your prerogative on your own blog. Just wanted to provide some reader feedback.

First, ...I didn't name names for a few reasons. First, I honestly believe someone snuck an inferior pizza past the chef. Sure that's a failure at some level, but it has to be tough to see every single thing before it goes out. Maybe the regular pizza maker was off watching the Super Bowl and I found a crack in the system. Second, this is an incredibly small sample size and I don't want to bash a place based on just that especially since everything else was very enjoyable. Third, even though I was clearly disappointed in the pizza, this level of disappointment isn't close to other places I've never mentioned here so I don't think it's fair. I would classify this as disappointing. I've been outright pissed at places. Angry for a week pissed. (Yes, I understand that is an absurd over reaction to a bad slice.) And finally, when I call a specific place out I prefer for it to be only good. Doesn't always happen that way, but it is definitely a preference.
