Ever since I moved to Durham 4 years ago I would eat at Cinelli's every Friday night. The service was fast, the prices were reasonable and the food was great. All of that changed recently and it all started with a take out order I made. I called and placed an order like I always did, only this time when I got my medium cheese pizza it had shrunk a size. When I looked at my 15 dollar bill I thought it had to be a mistake. The driver assured me that it was indeed a medium cheese pizza just as I had ordered. When I spoke to the order taker over the phone, she told me that I was wrong. The medium pizza was cut into six slices and the mini pizza, 4. I had been ordering the same thing from Cinelli's for all this time and suddenly, the number of slices denotes the size of the pizza. What I received was a pizza about the size of a regular frozen pizza, for 15 dollars. Since I do not make the salary of a CEO, I decided it was a better value to buy frozen pizza. Then last week I had a craving-I decided to give them another try. I went in an odered a regular cheese calzone, my dinner date had a stromboli, we had 2 salads, 2 fountain drinks and some garlic bread. The bill came to 35 dollars. I thought this had to be a mistake. when I looked on the bill, we were charged 2.50 each for 2 fountain drinks. 5 dollars for pepsi? I mean come on...REALLY?! Needless to say I will be standing in line at Kroeger with my 99 cent 2 liter and frozen pizza. Does it taste as good? No. Will I now have enough gas money to get to my job? Yes. The choice is yours.
Pros: Tasty Pizza
Cons: i had a hair in my pizza once and though they cooked me a new one I was charged 4 it.
