On Oct.4 I tried calling several times to make a reservation for my husbands birthday but no one would answer the phone. Now I understand they have been busy making pizzas for some of the first responders after hurricane Ian went through and it is wonderful of them to do. So I decided to send an email to them about making a reservation. My email was answered by Giuseppe- "Hi , Karen sorry for the inconvenient
for witch location ? and how many guests and time please." Me- "Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. In Punta Gorda, just the two of us hoping for around 6-6:30".
Giuseppe- hi Karen , confirmed looking forward to see tonight.
Sincerely, Giuseppe
When we arrived at the restaurant the gentleman we are too busy to take reservation by email. I tried to show him the email but he refused to honor our reservation. This was 6 days after a hurricane we still had no electric and most restaurants were still closed which is why I was wanting a reservation. He, I believe his name is Nico was so very rude and completely ruined my husbands 76th birthday. The next day I emailed Giuseppe back Me- Good morning Giuseppe, We arrived at Pizza Gorda last night for my husband's birthday reservation only to turned away at the door. The gentleman inside told us they do not take reservations by email. There seems to have been miscommunication between you and the staff at the restaurant but all I know is my husbands birthday was completely ruined. Giuseppe- Hi Karen, I am terribly sorry to hear about the reservation. I am not sure what was the source of confusion. I called and made the reservations and was told it was confirmed. I sincerely apologize about the inconvenient. Sincerely, Giuseppe Just because you do a good deed by giving free pizzas to our first responders does not excuse your rude behavior to a customer. We thought your pizza was good but not that good. We will not be back. We will get our pizza fix at Bellas in Port Charlotte. If the roads weren't flooded we would have gone there in the first place. Better food and treated with respect.
