Andiamo Pizza (Delivery)

Wanting to expand our delivery pizza horizons, we tried one of the places that stuff leaflets into our mailbox instead of our usual purveyors Pizza'Pentes.

Eschewing such gustatory confections as Nutella pizza, or Pizza la kebab, we ordered more mundane fare. I had a vegetarienne, and Marie a do-it-yourself of marguerita with mushrooms.

Marie spent ages on her not-too-reliable mobile placing the order. She had to spell her name so many times and so slooowly that even I could understand it. She explained that it was an interphone with our name on. Order complete, we sat back in anticipation.

Much time later, the phone rang.

"What is the code?"

"There is no code; it's an interphone. It has our name on it"

He couldn't find our name on the door. I looked out of the window: there was no-one outside the door.

Marie explained where the door was. He was adamant that he was outside the door. I looked again and he still wasn't there.

Eventually, he found the door, then off he went to get the pizzas. From somewhere.

He came back with the pizzas some time later, and called again for the door code.

"It's an interphone, with our name on it! We're on the xth floor on the left."

Marie buzzed him in, and we waited.

And waited some more.

Marie stood at the open door, and he eventually appeared. Marie paid by card without any problems, and brought the pizzas inside in eager anticipation of the pizzery delights which awaited us.

To be honest, my pizza was a bit cold by now, but not too bad. Marie's was bread, with cheese on it. And a few mushrooms. No tomato sauce, no oregano.

When I went outside later I found a piece of paper screwed up on the floor outside our door.

With Marie's name spelt wrongly on it.
