It had been years since we visited a Tutta Bella, but after seeing $100 gift cards on sale at Costco for $65, we decided we might as well visit again. We went on a Thursday around 6 pm, and the pizza was better than I remembered.
We ordered two, and were shocked at how quickly they came out. It took at most 3 minutes--I'm not exaggerating. We were feeling skeptical about how it was going to taste, but after our first bite our worries subsided. The pizza was hot and still tasted fresh. I'm still scratching my head at how they prepared it so quickly, but it tasted good, so I'll try not to dwell on it. We only had 2 slices of our second pizza, so there was plenty to take home.
Our waiter was very kind, and when giving us the bill told us about their "Avici" rewards club. For signing up we got $10 off, a tiramisu, and built some rewards for our next visit. The tiramisu was generously sized and good to.
The only hiccup with the experience was with the bill. The new Costco gift cards didn't work! I've actually had this issue with other gift cards I've purchased at Costco for different merchants. So, nowadays, I always make sure to save my Costco receipts for gift card purchases. Fortunately, they still honored the gift card. I still have 1 gift card remaining, but they assured me I'd be able to use it--just call ahead to talk to a manager.
It's unfortunate that the Costco gift cards can be unreliable at various merchants in my experience. But, I appreciate how Tutta Bella handled the situation and still honored it, rather than me having to pay out of pocket, and take the situation up with Costco. Hopefully, using the remaining gift card goes smoothly.
Thanks Tutta Bella!
