10/15/2013: Not going back. Ever. \n\nHere's how I rate a pizza: is it better the 2nd day?  Well, I've got good news and bad news.  First, the bad news:\n\nI've visited Pat's Pizza about 20 times in the past year (12 St and Glendale Ave, Phoenix) and the food is good.  Not great, good.  A good value, or so I thought.  But CERTAINLY NOT BETTER THE 2ND DAY!\n\nBut that's not the bad news. The bad news is, I called in an order one night a few weeks ago, and they emphasized that they close at 9 and that I'd have to absolutely be there by 9.  No problem.  But then the guy, with the broad bitching in the background (and I'm not joking), reiterated - AGAIN! That I HAD to be there by 9pm.\n\n I got there at precisely 8:54pm, but was horrified to realize, in my haste to \"get there by 9pm-NO LATER!, I'd forgotten my wallet.  Sheesh.  Wasn't intentional.\n\nBut you should have seen, actually seen, the look of horror and disgust on the faces of these two schlubs.  After numerous visits, this guy knew me; the point is, I'm not hustling anyone, if I say I'll come back, I will.\n\nThere was not a hint of empathy, \"it's ok, catch me later\", nothing.  Nothing for a regular customer, which is what I was.  I looked at the guy and said something like, \"Well, if I HAD to be here by 9, I guess there's no chance I can go home and get my wallet\".  Again, looks of disgust.  Silence.  Disgusted slience.   So I said, \"It's ok.  It's my mistake.  And I'll never come back\".  And I left.\n\nBut the good news is, because Pat's wouldn't trust me, allow me to pay later for the pizza, I was forced to find a new place...and I did!\n\nThat's how I found Raffaele's Pizzeria, 7019 N 19th Ave (NE corner, 19th Avenue and Glendale). This is terrific pizza and it's better the 2nd day.  I'll write a separate review for Raffaele's but know that now, for sure, I really never will go back to Pat's.  Assholes just had to get out of there by 9...\n\nWay to go Pat's.  How many customers do you have that come in 20 times in 6 months?  I hope you're happy.  I hope you're happy with that horrible woman who looked so disgusted that night.  I hope you're married to that horrible woman.\n\nI just wonder what they did with my pizza...
