"Family member in hospital. We needed a bite. I placed an order online. When I went to pick up the business was closed. Called corporate office for help. Corporate had no idea why Glen Rose location was closed. They did promise to reimburse my credit card transaction. Four days later, I still have not been reimbursed. I will contact corporate on Monday for follow-up."
Joretta & Tommy Ikeda
"Another local pizza place closed early with no notice, and was still accepting orders. We were still charged and never got our pizza. We called Simple Simon’s 15 minutes before they closed and the manager gladly accepted our order and got it to us in 15 minutes! Fantastic service, so thankful for them. Great experience!"
