Do you order pizza from pizza places that deliver?

Do you order pizza from places that deliver, especially since the videos came out of pizza employees doing bad things while they made pizza? My wife was showing me videos on the web yesterday of a man and a woman doing bad things. The man put cheese up his nose and then put the cheese in the food that he was making. My wife says that she would not want to eat pizza made from a pizza place that delivers. She would want the pizza made in front of her, where she could see what the cooks were doing. What do you thing of all this? Do you agree with my wife? Would you order pizza over the phone?

There are a few pizza places I trust, well to tell you the truth even restaurants. Hygiene is very important when it comes to food but I don't think it has to do with deliveries. It's definitely much better if you see the food being prepared but if you go to a restaurant and they don't have an open kitchen, it may happen there too. Yes I think that there are nasty individuals, thinking that these things are funny. Actually if you look around on youtube, I have seen even people peeing in the soup, while it was being cooked and similar disgusting things. Thankfully, the restaurant had cameras in the kitchen and kicked out the culprits!!

yes, I am glad that they fired those tow people! I would not want them fixing my pizza. I do not think that they will ever work in a food place again, do you?

I hope so, but unfortunately they could not be recognized. I mean the owner recognized them because he knew who he had working in his kitchens but since the cameras were above their heads, other people can't recognize them.

I usually don't order deliver. Whenever I eat pizza, I usually either go pick it up myself or am eating it within the place.

I don't think people should go through life wondering what other people have done to your food. I for one won't send food back in a restaurant though.

yes you are right but this is not the solution because if we start thinking like that then pizza is another thing we even can't eat anything,if we can't believe on pizza cook then how we can believe on packaged materials like milk,noodles, adinner outside the home on your service table from the kitchen of food restaurant,.it happens anywhere but only the difference is that your wife saw the bad video about pizza,if in future your wife saw anothe video about some other eatable then what do you do.so, don't worry ,go for brands because everything in life is depend on trust.just think upon yourself are you printing money in your home...ofcourse not we are in terchanging our services and exchanging money.so in that case even someone is trusting on you.

All we can do in life is trust. We have to trust a lot of people when we buy our food, where ever we buy our food from. I think you are right when you say that bad things could be in anything we eat.

It is not just pizza places. I do order pizza once in a while, but most of the time, we eat food from home.

We do not like to eat out much either, since I am retired and do not have much money.

We have done that a few times ordered pizza and do not think that some stupid jerks would keep us from ordering. Maybe we would order pizza from another delivery chain, and maybe avoid that city or that particular branch, but why condemn the pizza delivery industry for a couple of fools. Besides if one cannot get to a restaurant and cannot go and see the pizza being made, would not cutting out pizza delivery make it hard for those people? So we would order pizza over the phone. My husband is a semi invalid and cannot get out and we have very good delivery places here in Winnipeg.

Hi Suspenseful. I am like you. I do not get out much either, except to go to the store. Our son is autistic and mt wife likes to stay at home with him, so i am the one that goes out mostly to the store and places. My wife does bot like to drive.

Very rarely. Usually we either buy frozen and add toppings or I make them homemade. Order out is so expensive and then you have to worry about the the cleanliness of those that made it. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

I have in the past but I haven't for many years now. I just make my own pizza now. I buy the packages of dough, comes with two pizza doughs, and add my own stuff on it. Also with the dough paokage comes some pizza sauce but for me it is never enough so I buy a jar of pizza sauce so I have enough. The jar usually lasts me about 4 pizzas so it isn't too bad. Then I add my own meats and vegetables and cheese and kit only takes about 15 to 20 minutes to cook. It is just as fast as ordering it and just as easy and a lot cheaper. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Have a good mylotting day, Chris

Being a Saturday and talking about pizzas yesterday, I went and bought the stuff I needed and made two pizzas today for supper. They were good and there is still half of each left so I will be munching on some more later.

Hi, albert2412! Yes, I have ordered pizza on the phone many of times. And my husband has picked up pizza that was already made. It took him just 3 minutes to pick up the pizza. I do agree with you, I would want to see how my pizza is made. But, wouldn't that be hard for me to? I mean, do they make pizza in the back of the pizza place? Can we really see up front how they make pizzas? I do like to watch how people prepare my food. That is why I prefer them to wear gloves. And I do like to watch the people make my salads too. I want to see how they do it. I don't really like leaving my food alone with someone. That is why I am going to start staying around to see how they are preparing my food. There is no telling how all of our foods are prepared. This is something to really think about when ordering any type of fast food! Great Discussion! I am gald that you brought this topic up! This issue needs to be addressed!

The place I like to go to is all you can eat and they make the pizza out in front where you can watch them do it. Their boss is watching them do it also. i am starting to get hungry talking about all this pizza.

Dominoes both delivers and has pick up. We always go order and wait, if we get from them. I think that was only one place and they got fired. The young people I know in the town where I buy mine like their jobs too much, I think. You can watch them make the pizzas there, too, as well as getting the dough from the refrigerator. Pizza Hut is the same way.

I do not know why anyone would do bad things ro the pizza, make films of themselves doing it, and putting the film on Youtube. They had to know what would happen when they did that.

even tho i do order pizzas from places, i do so with "busy" places like pizza hut where they keep making and delivring pizzas almost all day, i do this so that i can know the working ppl their don't have free time to mess around, they just to their jobs other then that i make my own pizzas which are much better if you ask my friends:D

That sounds like a good idea to go to eat at a busy place. Busy people would have other workers around them, seeing what they are doing.

When my husband and I order restaurant food to eat at home, we always order it to be delivered, because neither one of us has a drivers licence, and so we don't own a car. We are both legally blind, so it would be absolutely impossible for us to get a drivers licence. Its similar to have it delivered.

I love pizza, especially pepparoni. Some of us at work used to call up for a pizza to be delivered before I retired.

I saw the same video that you saw yesterday and it was really disturbing and I am glad that they fired them. Why would they put it up on youtube anything? Now everyone will recognize them and no one will hire them in this economy. Anyway I don't order pizza over the phone. I usually go the the pizza store and order my slice there. But for a bigger party than I think I will need to order over the phone.

I do not know why anyone would do something like that. Now they will be felons and have a bad record. Who would want to hire them?
