It's
been about 2 years since I have been to the Fusion Pizza restaurant.
Though their heart is in the right place I find them to be expensive and
not really worth the money taste wise. I had a buy '1 specialty pizza
and get 1 cheese pizza the same size free. Without the coupon the bill
would have been $38 including a $6 tip for the 2 pizzas and 2 sodas
which is a bit much. The one change, which I did like, since I was last
there is that they now have a server whereas before you had to order at
the counter.
If you go to their web site---www .fusionpizza .com--you will see what their 'gimmick' is and it is a noble one. Here is some of what they say:
"!
From our concern for the environment to our concern for your health,
Pizza Fusion is not your typical restaurant or business, for that
matter. Michael Gordon and Vaughan Lazar, co-founders of Pizza Fusion,
stepped outside the boundaries of the traditional business model to
create an organization built around integrity.
For
every decision there is a right way and a wrong way to approach things.
Pizza Fusion operates on the belief that social responsibility is just
as important as profitability. Where some businesses cut corners for
their own benefit, Pizza Fusion goes the extra mile to do the best thing
for everyone – the customer, the environment, the employee and the
business owner.
For instance, instead of
using conventional ingredients that are cheaper to purchase and
unhealthy for the customer, we pay a little more to use quality organic
ingredients that are both healthier and tastier. Another example is our
gluten-free offerings, including pizza, brownies and beer, that enable
our friends with celiac disease to indulge at Pizza Fusion.
Furthermore,
our detailed approach to sustainable business, unfortunately, has made
us a unique restaurant concept. We didn’t go the eco-friendly route to
hop on the ‘green’ bandwagon. We chose to because it was the right thing to do. We find it sad that this approach separates us from other
businesses. We believe that if every organization operated at the level
of integrity that we strive for, the world would be a better place."
We
started off with the 'Original Pepperoni" which I found to be too oily
and then had the 'Original Cheese" which was good. Both had a (too)
thin, crispy crust--which I don't care for but that didn't stop me from
eating it.
Allen
had a diet (of course) root beer soda and I had a diet (of course)
cream soda. I just can't get use to being charged $2.50 for a 12 ounce
bottle of soda!
All
in all it was okay and we did want something different but I prefer Big
Louie's pizza--thick, juicy and old fashioned Italian food--like pizza
should taste like!
In all it will probably be another 2 years and a coupon before I go back there! LOL
