Ordered 3 pizzas on sunday when my brother was in town from vancouver. My mum, who has always ordered a mushroom pizza wanted the same thing with extra vegies but no cheese. She got a pizza with about 3 sliced mushrooms , 3 slices of tomato cut in half, 1 slice of red onion sprinkled over & a couple pieces of green pepper. Just to let you know, she ordered just a mushroom pizza a few weeks prior & it was covered with mushrooms. The second pizza that we ordered was a pizza with onion , garlic & green pepper with tomato. Actually for both of these pizzas we ordered extra vegies. My mum is vegetarian & my brother is vegan. My brother got a pizza with a few pieces of garlic, tons of green pepper & a few mushrooms. They both wanted pizzas loaded with vegies, but apparently they no longer had any other vegies than that. But if you look at their pizza menu, you can see that they have quite a few different vegies other than green pepper & onion. We were willing to pay the extra for a loaded vegie pizza. By the way , i ordered the number 18, clam pizza with garlic & white sauce. Got a garlic oil pizza with cheese & a couple of clams, was basically a garlic oil pizza. Called up the next day, all the owner could say is that i asked for mushrooms on a pizza & that is what i got, 3 slice mushrooms for a mushroom pizza. My sister & mother have both been living in this area, ndg, & have ordered from al dente for over the past 30 years. The owner told me when i called tonight that costs have gone up over the board. I have worked for the past 30 years in the food industry, kitchens, & now have slowed down to work on my own. I could not, not say anything about this place. We spent over 80 dollars, & were willing to pay that, but we basically got 3 pizzas, that if you were to put all 3 together would equal one 25 dollar pizza. P.s. When i was ordering on the phone, the person taking the order very rudely laughed at me because i was asking (& by the way willing to pay extra for) for a personalized pizza. I live in verdun, if i had a car & the free time before christmas i would go there tomorrow.
