My heart is beating fast. I've been waiting to have a free moment to write this review about Pie Whole Pizza ever since I returned from St. Thomas 2 weeks ago.
Like in the 80's classic movie, The Goonies....when the little crying boy Chunk, is about to have his hand forced in a blender by the villains unless he details everything....all the truth and all the details.....well.....after coming to this place.....I honestly felt like crying (in a sad way).
And I want to spill all the details about the WORST SERVICE!!! Yes here, at Pie Whole Pizza I received the WORST SERVICE EVER!!!!
And....I have traveled all over. I've been all around the world and now this place ranks....by far.....without a doubt.....the worst restaurant and food experience I have ever witnessed.
Yeah, let's just say at the end of me waiting 30 minutes and being COMPLETELY IGNORED, I walked out. It was that simple. I guess this place saw me, my appearance, or whatever, and decided not to serve me and ignore me. How sad. Words can't even describe how dejected I felt. I mean, I wasn't some homeless St. Thomas local. It was so obvious that I was a tourist. Why wouldn't they serve me? I didn't do anything wrong!
Now I need to get into detail. Before I do.....like I've seen other Yelpers vent about how places have deserved zero stars.....I used to think how bitter they were.....
Now I understand! Of course it's now my time to unleash fury about how Pie Whole Pizza deserves zero and negative stars! Have I mentioned yet it was the WORST EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFETIME!!!!????
I was in the mood for pizza, just something easy and casual after spending an entire day at St. John and Virgin Islands National Park appreciating the scenic surroundings.
After getting off the ferry about 7pm on a Sunday evening I immediately headed here to Pie Whole Pizza.
I was wearing shorts, a t-shirt, baseball cap and sneakers (without socks) as I knew I wasn't going back to my hotel to shower up. It was too late. I was grabbing a quick bite here and then calling it a night.
As I approached Pie Whole Pizza, there were a few folks sitting outside under the cabana. They all looked just like me. Just straightforward people having pizza!!! I walked inside and no one cared to sit me. The restaurant had a few tables and chairs and a small bar area. I made eye contact with a waitress and asked her if I should seat myself? She said yeah, wherever. Since I wasn't drinking alcohol, I avoided the bar and grabbed a two person table. Overall, the atmosphere was quite laid back. Nothing fancy. Btw, I was alone by myself....just to give exact detail.
Well, the restaurant wasn't even busy. There were open tables and some people eating outside. Yet, the waitress walked past me countless times. She did not care. She avoided me. I waited like 15 minutes and finally a busboy handed me a menu!!! Finally, a menu! And he asked if I wanted a drink. Okay here we go! I said a Coke please. Well, there you have it. For the next 15 minutes the busboy never returned with my Coke and he didn't even glance at me. Yet, he walked back and forth around avoiding me like I had the plague. The waitress never came to serve me. But here was my ultimate boiling point....
Within the first 15 minutes, people came inside and sat at the bar and the bartender happily served them. I thought too bad, I just should have sat at the bar as well. Unfortunately I chose a table. But then....
3 more people came in together and they sat down next to me. And here I was still waiting for the waitress or busboy to come over to me so I could simply place my order for a large pizza pie!!
And....hmmm....you think I'm not a good tipper?? I would have been the easiest order ever! And I tip wonderfully!! Too bad, such stupid idiots here that don't care!
So....just sitting and staring, waiting for anyone, the bartender then came from behind the bar and started taking the order from the 3 people who just sat down next to me!
What?? And he did it so friendly.
And without even looking or giving me the time of day!
At this point I accepted my fate and just gave up.
I walked out and didn't make a fuss. I didn't cause commotion. I just let it go. But why? What did I do wrong? I'm such an easy going, friendly person. I'm approachable! I cannot recall being so discouraged ever in my life. Oh well, I sucked it up and moved on to another restaurant. Just what a waste of at least 30 minutes to not even have had the chance to be served!
It was so evident I WAS NOT WANTED IN THE RESTAURANT! They weren't even busy!
This story doesn't even really begin to describe how unthinkably IGNORED I was.
The bartender looked like he could have been the owner/manager. Wow how ruthlessly inconsiderate...I'm certain in the end, what goes around will come around....
And as I think back and reflect on this miserable experience that took place to me here at Pie Whole Pizza, I can easily say.....I want to vomit real hard. Barf, yak, puke, hurl!!!!!!!!
