Sunday was a very busy with church and running errands. My husband suggested we order dinner from Pizza Hut because he had received a Birthday coupon for some free cinnamon sticks. We decided to order online which we usually do, this way we can review what specials they are offering and give our payment information online, so we don't have to worry about it at the door.
We order a Big Pizza Box Deal. It included 2 medium pizzas, an order of cheesy breadsticks and a 2 liter of soda. We also ordered an order of spicy BBQ wings for my Daughter Taya, she doesn't eat pizza, and redemed the coupon for the cinnamon sticks. We ordered a pepperoni pizza because my husband doesn't consider it a meal if it doesn't have meet and I prefer vegetables, so I got mushroom and onions. We almost always try to get a package deal that includes breadsticks and cinnamon sticks. After we submitted our pizza order and paid, it then told us it would be an hour and a half!! I was not thrilled about this. If I would have known this before submitting my order, we would have chose something else. It was already 6:00 and we were already hungry, plus Laurynn goes to bed at 8:00 and I hate her going to bed on a full stomach. There wasn't much of a choice though. My children waited very impatiently for the pizza to be delivered. About every ten minutes one of the children asked how much longer. We all did different things while waiting some watched tv, others did homework, the little one played with toys.
Finally at 7:30 the pizza arrived. The delivery man said they were very behind, apologized and realized he forgot our soda. He offered to go back to get it but we declined. I have included a picture of Laurynn excited to see the pizza arrive and other pictures of them devouring it. As we started to eat the pizza, it was a little disappointing it was luke warm, along with the cinnamon sticks. The wings Taya ordered were smothered in sauce, overly smothered, but still warm at least. We were really hungry, so we all ate pretty fast. Since, it was already not real warm we ate dessert right after dinner, so they didn't get any colder. When we order pizza, a lot of times we do not use plates or the kids only might. We usually tend to eat over the box. As far as the cinnamon sticks they never hit a plate. We just grab, dip and eat. We don't portion them out or anything but make sure everyone gets some of them. Dessert is pretty much expected by my children. They don't really think of it as a treat, they just expect to have it.
After dinner, it was late for our family. The little ones had to go right to bed and Taya had to go finish homework. My husband and I were full, not overly full. Just the right amount of full. The meal was only ok. It may have been better if it was warmer and didn't take so long to be delivered. At the end of the meal, we really had wished we had chose another option for dinner. Obviously, our service from Pizza Hut was not of a typical day. We just hope next time its better.









What did cinnamon sticks for dessert add to the meal and experience on this particular night?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jolynn :)
On this night and experience it didn't add to the experience positively. If they would have been hot they may have added to it but because everything was barely warm, it just added to the disappointment.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
