Their claim is “the Last Honest Pizza” and they operate Just about everywhere.
Yes I am talking about that ubiquitous Pizza magnet known as Round Table.
As a poor starving college student, on this occasion literally, I and some friends went to the Hornet’s nest, Round Table, to fill our starved bellies.
On this occasion the wait was only a few seconds and the place was practically empty.
I chose to order the Italian garlic supreme Pizza with a skinny crust.
Our wait time was not long, 12 minutes and the service was descant; however the first thing you notice are the astronomical prices.
$17.00 for a medium pizza?
As far as quality goes, our food was fresh which was a relief, If your paying $17.00…
Why are the plates plastic?
What strikes me about this particular Round Table is the fact that there are no booths like a regular restaurant?
Not even any Round Tables to promote people to gather and stay.
Unlike a regular Round Table there is no Salad Bar so vegetarians are out of luck.
For a business operating at a four year university you would think a franchise would spend more money to make it look good and inviting, apparently not.
While the food is ok it certainly is over-priced and $ 4.00 for a 16 oz beer is a rip.
Ultimately though beyond the price gauging of students who are already being gouged with tuition and book prices, this really is more about how cheap the administration of president Alexander Gonzales is.
Is it too much to ask for a Papa John’s, which gives customers way more bang for their buck?
Is it too much to ask for more than four choices of Beer?
Is there no way to make a place where students can watch a game and drink a Beer look better than the cheap slap happy design of this place.
All I have to say dear reader is that if this is the best that students a Sacramento State university can get, it is a sad comment on the university?
When I was 13 I visited UC Santa Cruz ; all the restaurants blended into the campus and offered an array of goods at competitive prices.
They should at least have a Lunch special and offer student discounts.
It seams to me that an outfit like Round Table appeals to an administrator looking for a quick fix with no intention of providing a quality experience for the customer, which may be an allegory for everything at Sacramento State?
As for myself , I have started carrying lunches in an attempt to save the scarce money I do have, perhaps 30,000 people doing the same would create some change?
