"I hate to give bad reviews. I almost never do, even when I have a bad experience because every business has bad days, and I 've worked at nearly every position in restaurants. This case was just so disappointing, and I want to warn others just in case they decide to make the drive like we did. My family has been trying to eat at every local pizza spot in the greater north Austin area this summer to support local businesses and because we LOVE pizza. I drove 35 minutes one way to get pizza TO GO from this place and arrived 50 minutes before close. There was a man sweeping by the door as I walked into the pub, and I asked him if we still had time to order, which he responded yes. There were a few people still drinking and eating inside, so I thought we were good to go. I wave my family inside so we can all wait together for the pizza and walk towards the counter. As I approach the counter, the guy behind it turns around and sees me and my family and says loudly enough for us all to hear you gotta be freaking kidding me and throws his hand towel down on the counter. I immediately turned around and told my family we were leaving, and we walked out and went 5 minutes down the road to Via 313, where they welcomed us kindly, and we had great food and drinks. The problem was how rude the guy was. If they would have told us it takes 45 minutes to make a pie and I know they closed in 50 minutes, I would have told them not to worry about it and we will come back earlier next time. I also would have understood the frustration if we came in 15 minutes before close, but we came in 50 minutes before close. It 's also odd for a pub to close at 9:30 on a weekend in the first place, but that 's a whole different issue. ? Anyways, I 've worked in many kitchens and would have never acted this way about someone coming in at any time much less 50 mins before close. It was almost like clock work that people would come in 30 mins before close and that was just part of the job. If they want to close earlier, change the business hours so people don 't go out of their way for nothing."
