Where to start with this one? Pizzas as sentient beings, an unhappy customer ... However, even using the correct word(I'm assuming the writer meant "revolted") still doesn't change a clumsily constructed sentence.
The owners and staff of Lupa pizza in Norwich are so reviled by the Hawaiian that they have reluctantly added the topping to their delivery menu but only with the eye-watering price tag.Comment

Why 'reluctantly'? Why do they just not offer it? Gives them a bit of publicity, I supposeIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

Because, as they explain, surely, no self-respecting Italian would go near such an abomination, sentient or not.Originally posted by french frank View Post
So, chancing their arm at £100 and yes, gaining some publicity too, even at the potential loss of some customers for their high-handed approach.
I can remember once (in a restaurant in Lucca) being refused some side dish (might have been spinach) as it was deemed an entirely inappropriate accompaniment to the main dish I'd ordered.

I remember a scheme to promote good service for foreigners travelling in France - I think this was in the 70s. We were given vouchers to hand out if the service merited it. I read somewhere (AA Gill perhaps!) that they had decided to tear the voucher in half and award one half on their journey south and the other half on their return journey if the service was ok........they reported that they continued southward through torrents of abuse!Originally posted by french frank View PostComment
