NOPE. I'll never come back here now that I've dined in. I had such great experiences with Sunset pizzeria- but of course that's only been for pickup orders! I am so sad to be writing this review now. They have so much potential to be able to make this a great hang out spot with the location their in. I guess I missed out on all the warnings from other reviews!
We walked into Sunset Pizzeria on a Saturday night, and noticed there were 2 families sitting and eating. We looked around, and figured we sit ourselves since no one at the register acknowledged us. We found a booth, and went to find a menu, which is by the register to figure out what to eat. A White young lady greeted us and asked if we were ready, we said no, she said okay and walked away. Then a young man, who's bald, white, and has a beard saw we were ready and took our order. He was probably the only person there who was trying to do a couple of things while watching the restaurant. He was friendly, told us they had a bar around the corner, and smiled when we said thanks for our receipt.
The soda fountain was dirty, sticky, and out of most Coke products.. Then I notice a Hispanic young lady, not sure if she was on the clock or not, with the cook in the back: talking to and eating french fries... right where he's supposed to be making OUR fries, wings, and fingers... Cue the anxiety for me. My husband said give them a chance, so I shut up and sat and waited for our food. The young lady who originally was snacking on fries, walked into the restaurant area and began to eat a sandwich. Then the guy who took our order brought our pizza out, then the original one at the register brought our fried food out.
The food wasn't good, it was bland, the fingers weren't tossed in the sauce properly. The pizza doesn't taste good anymore. The only thing I enjoyed were the fries. I was praying no one else ate out of them before we got them, but they were too salty. I also noticed throughout the meal the girl at the register and the other servers were sitting with the Hispanic eating. When pickup orders came, they did not wash their hands at all. They had been touching drinks, each other, and their hair. The fry cook was drinking his drinks on the line, visibly in the window where we could see him, and only the busser was working to keep the place clean. At one point, I even saw the register girl wash her hands, TO FIX HER BUN, AND NOT WASH HER HANDS AGAIN. Then, a really tall white guy came in, folded boxes, closed out some tabs, and ignored a customer who walked to the register to pick up an order. Never once did he wash his hands, put gloves on, or acknowledge anyone, or practice proper hygiene protocol either.
Aside from the expensive bill for the terrible food and flat soda, a customer dropped and broke a pepper shaker in the walkway where the register is, and no one rushed to clean that. There was shattered glass on the floor for minutes just sitting there, no warning sign, no broom or dustpan, no one rushing to make sure that walkway was clear in case a customer walked into it. NOTHING. The most dangerous part for me is that the staff follows no hygiene safety protocol at all, and I am never coming back! I cannot imagine how they work when they're busy!
