Wow, just last week after 7-8yrs of pretty regular dining my wife, son and I had a similar experience to the TWO STAR reviewer below. I ordered what we pretty much always order. The owner was her usual very cheerful self, asking about our son's school status, plans, etc. Then our pizza came (we love their deep dish pizza and homemade chips!) and it was not quite right. I had ordered pep mush on half and sausage on half of a the pizza. Out came a pie with half pineapple and mushroom......an odd combo to begin with. I told the owner it was the wrong pie on one half and she pulled it and had a new one made. She then showed me her order tablet with pineapple written down and not pepperoni, fine except I did not write it and my son was right there listening to me order my wife's preference. Most places would have you eat the first pie and bring out a smaller version of the errant part of the order, but no matter, that was not the deal breaker. While we waited I expressed to my wife, not quietly enough, I'd ordered as always, since that half of the pie was her's again with my son right there......He would have said something if pineapple was ordered. So, out comes the new pie after we watched the staff eat our 1st one as we waited deep dish oven time! The owner then tells me they (her & her husband) went back and looked at the surveillance camera??? and I definitely said pineapple and she could bring his laptop out to show us?? Wow, how is that for taking it way too far with a customer....This included her usual half giggle that is normally welcomed by us and many other customers. So, I think they had to be lip reading between pepperoni and pineapple, unless there was audio, but I don't think the latter is legal. Regardless, that was a pretty stupid thing to do to a customer, even if I'd said pineapple 10 times and I'm very sure I did not say it once. We were quite taken back by this, finished our meal, basically just being our usual selves, until we got to our car. As we ate I told my wife the problem would never have occured, if the order was read back to me. So, after being a bit taken back by the offer to see the video replay, my wife could not resist mentioning how things could have been solved, if the order was read back to me. That was not taken well by the owner, she laughed it off, then passed us off to her staff not interacting with us as she normally would do. Needless to say, we will never dine there again after being there on average 1-2 times a month since they opened the place. We loved eating there before, though we did have a bit of a probelm with the hand written total for the bill....It always seemed like the same meal and somewhat pricey drinks were $5-10 different each time we were there, but it will not be a concern any longer,,,,,,We will not be back. My wife told me driving to Cedarburg would be no problem for the same original recipe. Too bad....
