COMPLAINT

ARI “ BEWARE THIS BOSTON PIZZA, THE FOOD IS USUALLY BLAND AND THE POORLY DRESSED, OWNER IS VERY RUDE TO BOTH STAFF AND CUSTOMERS. WE HAVE BEEN HERE AT LEAST 14 TIMES THIS YEAR, TODAY WAS THE LAST DAY. TODAY WE GOT BASICALLY KICKED OUT BECAUSE WE DID NOT AGREE WITH THE WAY HE SPOKE TO US, WHILE WE WERE TRYING TO FIND A SEAT WITH THE ATTENDANT. AVOID THE HASTLE IF YOU WANT BETTER FOOD AND WANT TO WATCH THE UFC FIGHT GO TO JACK ASTOR'S ON HIGHWAY 7. THAT IS WHERE WE ENDED UP.”
