Pizza Classics

Pizza Classic was the only joint in town that could sometimes manage to place a small expensive but semi-​delicious pizza in front of your door late in the evening. If you ever had the joy to enter the business you would be delighted by the soft chubby visage of a small Arab man well fed with hummus and pita. To the right you would notice a large plastic five gallon bucket of freshly decaned sauce. Pizza boxes adorned the small 300 sq ft establishment scattered in an attempt to emulate a ruinous landscape.
Alas Unilocalers, we put this one in to it’s shallow grave as ye’ old pizza classic is no more. They have closed there grimy doors forever leaving us all to 3am feast on stale crackers, old pasta and dried prunes. Last night I again tried to seek 2am delivery alternatives sadly discovering that Jimmy Johns the only option, delivered only up to 45^th. Ho hum why cannot a city with 1 million provide its people with greasy carbohydrates in to the early morning? Pizza classic had issues, but did we want it to buckle under the pressure of our harsh Unilocal

Order at your own risk. Mediocre overpriced pizza served late into the early morning is the crowning achievement of this business establishment. Don’t bother calling for a price quote because the guy that runs this place will charge you whatever he feels like. Me and a co-​worker were hungry late one night at work and we decide to order a pizza. The guy on the other end says it will be 17 dollars for a Lg cheese pizza. Um, ok, that’s a bit steep… we thought that was weird so we walk over there and ask how much for a Lg cheese pizza for carry-​out and he tells us 7 bucks + tax. More like it! We get the pie and it’s tiny as hell. We let out a collective sigh and dig in anyway. I’d rate this pizza somewhere in between Chuck E. Cheeses and CiCi’s.
This place should be called Pizza Con Artists. A Lg pie is like the size of a Pizza Hut personal pizza or a 5 dollar dominos pizza and 3x the price. This place only makes money by staying open late and ripping off drunk U.T. students.

It was 2am. Drunkenness was all consuming, and drunk food was much needed. And seeing as how EVERY SINGLE other pizza, chinese, or food delivery service in town had stopped delivering at 1, we had a serious lack of options.
So, we called Pizza Classics.
Placing my order felt like arranging a hit with the mob. «What you want? Where you want it? You’ll pay cash? Good.» So, not really much for the chatting. It was about as expensive as a mob hit too – $ 25 for a medium 2-​topping pizza.
But, about an hour later the pizza arrived… and whatdya know, in addition to our pizza (which kinda sucked) they for some reason handed us a styrofoam container and a 2 liter of coke as well. We kept our mouth shut and took what was handed to us, not pointing out that was more than what we’d ordered. And wouldn’t ya know, inside that styrofoam container were some of the most drunkenly delicious pepperoni pizza rolls in the WORLD. They were AMAZINGLY good.
So it may have been an accident, but I’m kind of ok with Pizza Classics. Had we just received the pizza for $ 20, that wouldn’t have been so cool. But their delicious mistake rectified the high price and terse phone guy.

We called to order late night pizza… after 1am. The guy who answered the
phone was very very rude and short with us. We wanted a large 3 topping and a small 1 topping for delivery… 48 $. FOR TWO PIZZAS. When asked if they had any specials, they said no. Before we could say «Never mind, No thanks» the jerk hung up on us.
I will stick with Austin Pizza.

What can I say? Being the dd on our Friday evening venture… I can say that Larry and Chewy NAILED IT with their reviews of this place. Nothing else that I can say would hit it more spot on than their reviews. I will say, though, that I issued a disclaimer to the suckiness of the pizza before we ordered it!
I’ve had another bad experience with Pizza Classics before. I think it took like two hours to arrive after we ordered… and the pizza sucked. Not to mention we we trying to pry our drunken eyes open, waiting for the damn pizza to get there!

Pizza delivered until 4 AM on weekends… check.
Affordable for first time orderers.NOPE.
58 bucks for three pizzas (one veggie) with only one topping each.
Yep. 58 BUCKS.
Granted, Quani C., Chewy C., Charlie and I weren’t of the most discerning of tastes at 2 AM, but we were all surprised by their prices.
Then ADHD + Vodka set in and it was a non-​issue.
But when the pizza came, despite our just-​go-​with-​it-​vibe, it SUCKED.
No diamonds fell out of it, no keys to the Escalade, no 18 pounds of chicken wings, just shitty pizza.
Delivered after declaring (false) famine at 2 AM.
A lesson to be learned?
When I woke up the next morning, no longer too buzzed to care, I saw the reasonable coupons on the back, RADICALLY different.
Why they can’t offer those deals over the phone??? and !!!
There was a coupon in the back for ½ the cost of what we ordered.
Like Kirsten Dunst’s cheerleader boyfriend says to the ex-​cheerleader captain «Red» in the breakout Hollywood Blockbuster BRING IT ON,
«NOT COOL.»
But we didn’t know… and props to Quani C. for knowing who to order at a late time…
But See T., I feel ya’…eating this leftover pizza that should be frickin’ plated in gold… it’s a baby step above a molded rice cake in stale Ragu.
My dog wouldn’t eat it.

If you hate yourself, you will eat a Pizza Classics pizza. It’s pretty hard to mess up pizza, but not when the entire thing costs $ 5.
You know you won’t be pooping solid, so go ahead and ask the guy to craft a «smiley face» out of the pepperoni while he’s making your pie.
You’re better off eatin’ Ramen.
