Jiffy's Pizza

We stayed at the Franciscan across the street and got hungry pretty late. Nothing else was open, so we tried Jiffy's. I picked up the combo pizza. The staff was nice and best of all, the pizza turned out great. Next time we visit, we will go there for sure.

Over $80 for 4 extremely burnt pizzas? I think not.

To a group of starving Californians who were just learning that snow actually looks like SNOWFLAKES, individually shaped and all, and who had yet to learn how to properly install snow chains, a pizza joint that would deliver to our cabin seemed like a lifesaver.

Things were already off to an iffy start when we ordered our pizzas and were told that it would take about an hour for delivery since the delivery guy had not come into work yet, but we had plenty of alcohol to tide us over, so it wasn't a big deal. Over an hr and a half later, we were much drunker and much hungrier, and our pizza still had yet to arrive. We called Jiffy's again only to be told that the delivery guy was still nowhere to be found. In the end, we waited over two hours for a very unapologetic delivery guy to show up with our pizzas, which were extremely hard and burnt, probably from being reheated over and over, and our only compensation was to be told not to tip the guy.

Next time we'll just brave the journey to Safeway and buy some Digiornos.

I'm not sure how this pizza is so highly rated.  We had the double surprise of cold pizza that was BURNT.  Like, crust burnt to a crisp.  But cold.  At $30 for a large pizza, I'm not sure how they think it's acceptable to deliver a burnt pizza, but we were seriously disappointed.  

Beyond that, the pizza itself was just ok and really, really greasy.  We had to take a paper towel to sop up some of the grease before we ate it.  There are some pretty good pizza places in North Lake Tahoe, so I am fine with crossing Jiffy's off my future list.  I just wish I would have known that prior to shelling out $30.
