Dave: The Game

is the only infinite game.

Not letting it go

I STILL think it’s crazy to automatically add Ham to all calzones unless you specifically say “No Ham.” 

It’s like calling up to order a pizza, and having it automatically include olives, unless you say “no olives.”

And no, saying “that’s just how we do it” is not acceptable to satisfy me as a customer.

  1. Seriously, you have issues. :P

    It’s not that they automatically add Ham to all calzones, it’s that their menu only lists Calzone as Ham, Ricotta, and Mozzarella. That is what their calzone is, it’s not pick 3 ingredients or choose what you want, it’s a Ham, Ricotta, and Mozz Calzone! The common order for them is to add in more toppings, or someone to say “sausage instead of ham”.

    You ordered without a menu in front of you, and Dennis didn’t specifically say Vegetarian. Their menu clearly states it, and I believe they do it because Calzones are not their main product so they wanted to expedite how it’s made and ordered.

    Besides, I’m pretty sure I mentioned to people (Dennis specifically) as they were ordering Calzones what the main ingredients were. What should satisfy you as a customer is that their menu clearly states it, and it wasn’t specified as a vegetarian calzone. It’s not some massive conspiracy to get you to eat meat, though it SHOULD be.

  2. It is NOT clear on the menu- I looked. In fact, it’s not clear that you can add any toppings at all. At least when we called Pizza Hut and tried to order a custom P’zone, which is the same theory, they TELL YOU that their P’zones have certain things in them. That did not happen.

    This is the first time I have ever had this kind of thing happen- no other pizza/calzone joint I have ever been to puts a random topping in. It’s not even a common topping like pepperoni! So I don’t think it’s unreasonable of me to expect otherwise when EVERY OTHER restaurant does it one way that they also do it that way.

  3. Their menu says, “Calzone – Ham, Ricotta, Mozzarella”

    What isn’t clear about that?
