I'm calling 311 on Father and Sons tomorrow...

You obviously haven't tried their cockroach Stromboli. To. die. for... Literally.

I actually like their pizza, but I love greasy pizza.

Maybe I'm in the minority but nothing sets a pizza off quite like a little bit of Newport ash.

Amen!

If you are concerned about food quality, wouldnt the health department be better?

Was thinking the same thing!

F&S is filthy, but their pizza isn't bad. Every restaurant is filthy to a degree, some places just hide it better than others. Your best option is to just start going to Franco's.

Heh when I was a kid, wait staff and the cooks all had lit cigarettes while they were working.

If you can't get a clear answer from the manager, contact 311. Overflowing Dumpster not being picked up. Give the precise building address. Make sure you hang on to the tracking number you get from 311, that's your only way to find out what happened to your ticket.

You can do it online at phila.gov

The Health Department does random inspections on its own quite often, they also look at the garbage out back when they do their surveys.

I've ordered from F&S and I like them, but we don't need more garbage floating around the streets, either. Bin lids are supposed to be closed and preferably locked at all times.

here's what it looks like now;

dont know what Im doing wrong but Ill call them first and ask them to do something about it first. maybe they'll realize it's unacceptable

Manager says he has been calling to get the dumpster company and they havent been coming. he also said he is calling them right now and if they dont come he switch to another company....Much easier!

Just recieved a call back from the manager. He really wanted me to post how sorry he is because the Dumpster people cant come out til Monday morning. he said that if i had called before 9am today they would have had a truck for today. he is extremely sorry and realizes that it does look a mess but the dumpster company only has four trucks which are always behind in their workload. He was a very nice man. And I get a free Pizza Woo- Hoo. I love the Father and Sons Jumbo Pie!

When I used to eat at the Acrapolis my usual waitress used to always have a cig dangling from her mouth as she served our food. I'm not a smoker, but I miss those days, haven't been there in about 8 or so years....

Ur awesome Tracey!

Their pies are good when you get a good one. Usually. Thin crust, enough cheese, greasy enough. But once at Christmas time we ordered like five pies for Atlantis, and they were crappy. I think its hit or miss with them.

Father and Sons is completely hit or miss. I've been there enough but I still don't know for certain which cooks make a good pie and which do not. one day it can be some of the best pizza in the city, the next day I'd find a microwaveable frozen pizza more appetizing.

I'm glad he's sorry, but this is unacceptable. The dumpster company needs to pick up the trash on time, consistently. Not having enough trucks is not an accetpable excuse.

You two make a formidible crime-fighting team.

Well, buy them some trucks Stein. He knows it is unacceptable. What do you want? It's a good thing, take it as such. Christ, I was happy with the free pie and a decent conversation with a very honest man

well of course you know where I had to have lunch today. it's pretty good today. could have done without the screaming child back in the kitchen though.

Yeah, but stein didn't get a free pie. :)

There wasn't a crime here. Just a nuisance.

I'll share they are Gigantic!

You two are a formidible nuisance-fighting team.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Look!
Up in the Sky!
Well, maybe a little bit lower.
Yeah, and, uh, kinda over to the left a little more.

It's "The Formidable Nuisance Fighting Team"!

That photo is a nuisance.

maybe i'll walk around to get the dogs to shut up wearing this. hey who knows it may work. Would scare the crap outta me

I dig Father and Sons. It's decent thin crust pizza.

I like Key Pizza the best, though. It grew on me.

Tracey, nice job!

IMO worst pizzeria pizza I have had, ever, even counting those years in TX

They were the only place I would get pizza from before Franco's opened.

Gordon Ramsey to the rescue. Have this pizza joint turned around in no time.
