My 11 year old son & I decided to find a nice pizza restaurant after a long day of snowboarding. We thought we would try Pizzeria La Toscanella. With only one table occupied by another family we took a seat and I started to look at the menu. I went to the counter because I wasn't sure if they had a wait staff after we sat for some time. The cashier said to me, ""If you're ordering pizza it will be at least an hour & a half wait."" Because I was thinking she thought we wanted take out I explained that we were actually going to dine in. The cashier then explained to me, ""we?re not going to put your order in front of our other orders because those people have been waiting too."" Now, I will admit that I'm not an expert of pizza restaurant decorum, but it struck me as very odd that you would want to make a party of two wait for 1.5 hours while they sat in your restaurant - I just had never experienced that policy before. I then said we wouldn't be able to wait that long, would you recommend any other pizza restaurants? The cashier replied, ""There's a 7/11 up the street."" On my way out, the mother of the family that I mention was the only party in the restaurant said they told her that there was a 1.5 hour wait too and she wanted to know what they said to me. I explained to her and she too was stunned. Then to my surprise, I heard a voice yelling at me to, ""Get out of my restaurant, I don't need you here badmouthing my restaurant.""
