Will The Real Philly Cheesesteak Please Stand Up

The other day my nephew ordered a Philly Cheesesteak pizza from Domino's.  I was sitting right next to him so I know exactly how the conversation went.  He asked about their specials and was told a 2 topping pizza would be $7.99.  He then asked how much a Philly Cheesesteak pizza was and the price was somewhere around $16.  A little hefty for a pizza if you ask me, but he told them to go ahead and bring that one on.

Does this even begin to look like a Philly Cheesesteak pizza to you?  I've had a Philly Cheesesteak from Domino's a  handful of times and I can certainly assure you this imposter was not it.  What we got was a cheese pizza with a couple pieces of Philly steak on each slice.  NO onions, NO mushrooms, NO special white cheese sauce.  One half-eaten piece is all I could muster to even choke down.  It tasted horrible, even for an imposter.

I called Domino's back to explain the situation.  I was confronted with a rather rude employee (not the same one who took the order).  She told me I needed to be more specific with what we order.

How much more specific can you be when you order a PHILLY CHEESESTEAK PIZZA?!  Sometimes, according to her, customers call and order a regular pizza with philly steak on it.  We didn't ask for a custom pizza.  We asked for something that was on the menu.  If math serves me right, I should've only been charged $7.99 if they thought we ordered the pizza we got.  Not the inflated price that an actual Philly Cheesesteak pizza is. 

I was dumbfounded and amazed that we were treated like the idiots in the situation.  After much persistence, she finally agreed to bring out what we originally ordered, along with two lava cakes.  The same driver showed up at our door, shoved the box at us, and sarcastically remarked "Enjoy your pizza." 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure our Philly Cheesteak that we ended up getting had some extra special loogies in it for us.  At least it tasted decent.

I hate Dominos. HATE. I stopped ordering from them a while ago because they literally never got my order right. Ever. There are way better tasting places around us and I just couldn't get why they were always SO rude there and always seemed to mess up the simplist of orders. I feel your pain, trust me.
