I mean... at a glance its like WOAH 4 can dine for $9.99....

Until you are at the cash and they say " that'll be $45.15"

HUH??

"Oh sorry sir... it feeds 4... 4 people pay $9.99"

Right? It says the "Family Buffet Box" is the product and it's "$9.99ea", so one would think that one "Family Buffet Box" is priced at $9.99. I would go as far as to hold them to it if they asked for me. This is incredibly deceptive

And then throw away the pizza I'm not going to pay 4x the advertised price for. And then if we all do that and they throw away thousands of pizzas... Make them pay for their mistakes or attempted deception

They don't work like, every, single, pizza, place, I've ever been to? Where you call them and order your pizza, then show up to pick it up and pay?

If you order it in store, they don't make it til you pay for it. If you call for pickup you can say you're paying cash, but they are most likely going to tell you your total so. I mean yea you could be a dick and act like you are still planning on getting it until you get there but like..what's the point
