"I am a single dad of 5 kids... So I bought 2 large pizzas and an order of wings. I was there to pick up my order before it was finished being made. My house is 8 minutes from the pizza Bella. By the time I got to my house. Both pizzas were cold like they were frozen pre-made pizzas... the wings were still hot but the pizza was ice cold. If I did not have five kids to feed and get to bed then I would have took the pizza back and got my money back. It was that disgusting... I called to let her know and instead of trying to make it right or even apologizing... The owner of the business decided she wanted to argue with me about the quality of the food. I just spent $37 on two pizzas and an order of wings. The pizzas were disgusting and by the time I got off the phone I was throwing the chicken wings up it made me sick and two of my kids were throwing up for meeting the chicken wings. And to make the situation worse... the owner just wanted to tell me there is no way. We serve good food.... like not this time.... and I paid a lot of money for cold pizza and wings that made 2 kids and myself sick throwing up sick... I would advise not going to this place and wasting your money on cold food and rude service... That same nasty attitude that you had in your response is the same nasty attitude you had last night... and nobody ever said how long it took me to get sick or my kids Nobody had any chicken to eat all day long until we ate the chicken from your restaurant. There's no time frame on how long it takes food to make you... and chicken is one of the biggest food contributors to making people sick.... you're funny... I was in your restaurant just as nice and polite as I could be But then I got served cold pizza and chicken that made my family sick We didn't even get sick until after I called up there to tell you how cold the pizza was You are rude on the phone last night when I tried to tell you that the food was cold you tried to argue about it You didn't try to apologize last night and you're not trying to be a responsible Business owner now Instead you're telling the whole world that you're calling your customers a liar and you're calling me names like a real responsible mature adult.... And more than likely it's just because you don't like it because somebody called you out on your disgusting food I beat from there several times and I've never had a problem with it until last night And I probably wouldn't have made a review until I called to tell you that the food wasn't any good and you were rude on the phone and then your food made me sick along with my kids And now you want to tell me if I want to talk about it I called last night to talk about it and you were rude You acted like I was lying about the food being cold I have absolutely no reason to lie about your cold food that made me sick I don't want or need anything for free but you serve me cold food chicken that made me sick and then you were rude when I called to tell you about it last night and that's why you got the review that you got And then when I made a review you continue to be a nasty rude person I have no reason to lie about your cold food or your rude nasty attitude And you continue to show that you got a nasty attitude with your response You have a blessed day and I'm going to keep you in my prayers because you need it you need some Jesus in your life"

"My friend and I went here for lunch at about 12:45 PM. There were people at one of the two registers and two parties in line ahead of us. A young woman was standing behind the pastry counter putting items in a bag as if preparing an order (maybe take out or delivery). The line continued to grow behind us, yet she made no move to take orders at the other register. The person at the first register was nice and efficient, which kept the line moving at a reasonable pace. New customers arrived and the line grew but the woman in the pastry area made no effort to take orders. She was organizing the pastry selection and watching the line grow. There were only a few loaves of bread and a very small selection of pastries left, even though it was not yet 1:00 and the middle of lunchtime. No additional items were added, she just moved around what was available and ignored the line.When my friend and I had our turn, I noticed a man cut through the existing line and walking up to the second register. The woman in pastries met him at the register and took his order promptly. She had made no effort to take orders from the people in the line. After she took the man’s order, she walked in the back and was not seen again. This prompted me to ask if the other register was just for pastries. I was told no, not really. I asked why the person did not take any orders from the people who were waiting in line. I was told that she was at the end of her shift and she was preparing the area for the next person.I have service experience so I can speak from experience and say that this is NOT the customer service expected from Panera or any restaurant that charges $15-$20 for a modest lunch! I am appalled that the woman made no effort to assist the customers in the line because she was, “at the end of her shift”!At the same time, she did wait on the man who pushed through and cut in line! What ever happened to the phrase, “May I help the next person in line?” The fact that the man was of similar ethnicity to the inhospitable employee (and those of us in line were not) gave the entire situation an even more negative impact. There is no glaring evidence of preferential treatment, but it certainly didn’t add anything positive to the egregious situation."
