Customer Reviews
While dining in, we waited over an hour for a single medium pizza, 6 wings, and fries. The fries tasted like they have been in the freezer for months and the wings were so rubbery they were inedible. The pizza was nothing to rave about, especially after the long wait. We were never spoken to by wait staff on the status of our food. When the food finally did come out, we were given the wrong order. Overall, just very disappointing experience for a first time customer.
I’ve ordered four maybe five times from Mark Twain‘s pizza because I don’t have a good memory. I like thin crust so I can’t complain about that but I also like cheese and I didn’t ask for thin cheese. Also I ordered the medium pizza which is supposed to be 12 inches When I got it. It was shockingly small so I measured it. I came out to 10 inches. I called the manager told them about the size discrepancy, and he Said, “yeah we had to stretch it out to get it thin, and it shrinks. if I gave you 12 inches I’d have to charge you more.” He said they ration the cheese. What? Are we living during WWII? ration out? By the time I paid a tip ($4.50), delivery fee and the pizza it came out to $26. It’s a shame because the sauce is not bad. The cheese is cheap skim milk mozzarella. The crust has a t
I gave it a good try. I just moved close so I have given this place a try three times in the past two months. Pizzas are small compared to the cost. Twice, I ordered small pizzas, they were okay - at best. Toppings were not hot, more like lukewarm and really didn't seem like it was cooked long enough. The dough was done but the toppings were not. Another time I ordered a meatball sub and was definitely disappointed, no real flavor in the sauce or meat, it was very bland. I ordered chicken bites as well and had high hopes because the menu says its chunks of chicken breasts lightly seasoned and breaded - well, they are definitely frozen chicken bites, not homemade as I hoped or thought. The breading was thick and the chicken itself was mushy. I will not be back...
I rarely ever leave reviews on here, but I couldn’t help myself with this situation. What an awful experience. First, it took us over an hour to receive our food (we were dining in). Second, the food was just so subpar; absolutely not worth the hour wait. Third, my wife ordered the wings with fries - what a dumpster fire that was. Fries were clearly stale and old, probably just threw them in the oven while they sat out all day, and the wings were about the same consistency as the rubber on my flip-flops. Lastly, the service was abysmal. Zero sense of urgency, no updates on our food wait-time, nothing. I think the server came up to us one time in the hour that we waited to ask for refills. Just an overall bad experience. I hope this place can drastically improve. I will not be back.
Great pizza spot! Red sauce is delicious and under crust has minimal flop. Great old school pizza place vibe. Staple in Metairie!
