Congress Pizzeria

Came here before heading to the Coheed and Cambria concert down the street at the Congress Theater.  It was conveniently located so why not, eh?

Upon walking in, I noticed the place wasn't kept up very well.  And upon being seated, I confirmed this place was a dump!  The table we sat on was riddled with crumbs and the paper place mats the waitress brought over had little stains on them.    

Speaking of waitress, the service was bare minimum.  She greeted us with the enthusiasm of someone going to a doctor's appointment.  No eye contact, no smile.    

The only reason I didn't give Congress Pizzeria one star was because the pizza was NOT the worst pizza I've ever had.  The crust was off but the topping weren't bad.  

This place needs a serious decor upheaval. It looks like it's stuck in the 1980s and probably hasn't had a good scrubbing since then.

Called to order delivery - was told to try it out by a couple people.

I placed an order that totaled around $32 dollars.

Was told when i started to give credit card # that they can't accept credit card orders over $28!!!

Isn't that when people use credit cards - when they don't have a lot of cash on hand?

I told her then that I would just have to cancel the order - to which she seemed surprised.  Really Congress Pizza?  Really?  I'm the first person that tried to order more than $28 of food with a credit card?

After I hung up I realize that she could have offered to do two transactions - but I guess they would rather not have my business.

Good. Square cut. Thin but not "Jersey" thin crust. Extra cheese was worth it. Took a little longer than expected.

Call ahead b/c the waiting area for carryout is too small to be comfortable.
