So I called this place up from my out-of-state cell phone and wanted to order a pizza. I live in LA but I'm from somewhere else and have never bothered to get an in-state number. For whatever reason, the person taking my call refused to believe my order was legitimate, apparently thinking some out-of-towner had singled out their little restaurant for a prank (note this was a take-out order for a single pizza, not really the basis for an amusing prank), and asked me to repeat my phone number approximately 447,665 times. I was getting frustrated since the employee on the other end didn't seem to understand me no matter how clearly I enunciated. I was about to try saying it in some other language but it seemed that on the 447,666th time they finally got it.
