 Forget the rugby for a moment folks, or not, as
this challenge is a by-product of the rugby. But let me explain.
Had the chance of a weekend of rugby, from go to woe (woe, as part of that
weekend included watching the Chiefs) with another rugby head mate (Willie the
Weka from the forum), and being blokes, preparing food was not an option, so the
TSF Pizza Challenge was born.
The Challenge:
Call as many Pizza delivery places as you can in the shortest amount of
time possible, and get them to deliver - simple, or so it should be. We
chose three Pizza places, as we thought that would be enough, and were plain
lazy and couldn't be arsed looking up any more!
So Hells Pizza, Pizza Hutt and Domino's Pizza got the call up.
Right from the bat though Domino's was in a word,
poked. After passing me from one store to the other "I'm sorry sir, you
need the Hillcrest Hillcrest store", then the Hillcrest store passing me right
back to the first one I rang, it was right sod you, you're gone, marks 10/10 for
ignorance and being wankers.
Meanwhile, as I was getting the run around pressing more option buttons
that it would take to launch a full scale nuclear holocaust (I was looking for
the red 'nuke the wankers' button on the Weka's phone, but it was missing), the
Weka (who seems pretty expert at the procedures) managed to order Pizza from
Hells and from Pizza Hutt.
Hells Pizza quoted a 35 minute deliver time, and the Hutt 30 minutes, and
both arrived within 17 minutes, so big ups to them there on the pace of the food
arriving, could be vital with hungry props around. Orders were placed at
7:30pm too, meaning right in the middle of their busy times, so excellent work
by both.
Good customer service from Hells too, when the Weka mentioned to delivery
guy that their Pizza's have cost $4.00 more than Pizz Hutts. The reply,
"they're $4.00 nicer: was a good comeback, and dead bloody right.
My first taste of Hell's Pizza, and once you go to Hell, there's no going
back. There must be some catchy slogan about that, but their Pizza's were
superb. What sort they were, no idea, one pretty standard one, and one of
the gourmet ones. Whatever they were, both taste sensations!!
The Pizza Hutt versions just standard Hutt fare. They would have
been better if we had not also ordered the Hells pizzas. But we had, for
the test, and the Hutt came up short.
Challenge Result.
1: Hells Pizza: By a country mile, fastest delivery (by a
minute, not that we had the clocks running), and best taste by two country
miles.
Taste 10/10 Service 10/10
2: Pizza Hutt: Standard Hutt fare. If you had not had
Hells, than it would have been sublime! If there is no Hell nearby
(alwayus one nearby when you watch the Chiefs), than go the Hutt!!
Taste 8/10 Service 10/10
3: Dominos. Need to work on their customer relations, which in
the case of the bloke that was giving me the run around, was less than shit.
So there Pizzas might be nice, but we wouldn't know, as we could not order them.
Whcih may have been a goood thing, as we had trouble getting through the 4 that
arrived, but we managed.
Taste 0/10 Service 0/10
The 2 dozen beers consumed during the evenings games are an optional
extra, as is eating the crusts if you are the Weka, for shame, no wonder he
didn't grow up to be a big strong manly front rower, but remained a puny little
five eighth...
