Jason "The JBO" B.'s Profile

Sorry, but this place is a bit overpriced compared to the other pizza places locally - it's still cheap, but on the high end of cheap. Plus, the people working the counter don't know how to greet guests or take orders. I sat there for 5 minutes before the cook in back yelled at the counter guy to pull his head off his paperwork to take an order. And it was 10:55am and I was the only guy in the place! This was the third time I've been in the place and they ignored me standing in front of them - only this time I forced myself to stay to actually find out about the food (which wasn't anything special). To top it off, the guy didn't give me my Diet Coke when I was done order, and neglected to ask if my order dine-in - and just had my stuff handed to me in a bag even though I was sitting with my laptop at a table. The biggest insult? I think he was a manager. Don't eat here; go to another pizza place (Aiello's, Lucci's, Napoli, even Italian Village). I realize it's just pizza, but for exactly 10 dollars for a gyro, small portion of fries, and a drink, I'd like my meal with a nod and moderate smile please.

So, I actually live very close to the new Crazy Mocha, and I sometimes roll across the street to get a super quick cup of Joe because it's so cold right now. But I never stay and come spring to fall, I'll head up to Arefa's and, even in the cold, I still trudge up to Arefa's to make a weekend afternoon of coffee and tea drinking while I work. Crazy Mocha is okay, but so very loud, and the staff doesn't look very happy (lots of frowns and absent looks). The staff at Arefa's literally take a good deal of time getting to know the people coming in, and actually learning what kind of products they prefer. I thought a comparison might be in order.
