I've driven by a lot, I've seen the sporadic hours until the new sign, I tried to get slices one time but nothing (you guys had a bunch of orders to get through which is a good thing for you), I'll give it a shot eventually. Good to know you're doing well and that your business model is working for YOU. Stick with it, I really hope nobody wants to see a business fail regardless of whether they like the hours or quality or not. This is a review page, constructive feedback should be encouraged and personal opinion on quality will always be just that, an opinion. Good luck!

I hope you come by.
It's difficult not to run at a loss if you're not open 7 days a week. I said it so many times but of course we'd love to be open. But we've been open less this year, only doing Fridays and Saturdays, and we've made more comparable time frames than when we hired people. If you pay someone $25 an hour, and they can make one pizza an hour, which is a net loss for the business, they will make one pizza an hour. They have no reason to make more. They work less and make the same. We tried profit sharing and that was even worse. $32 an hour paid some someone could text all day while we stayed there all day on our shifts and theirs. Not worth it for us to be open with the wrong people.
