C K Variety - Hermon

We had some trepidation over ordering pizza from a “variety store” but did so last night and both my self and spouse were pleasantly surprised and would definitely order again. A bit of background on us . We’re from Toronto and I’m Italian so we have great variety of pizza options that’s why we weren’t quite sure of this place. Would definitely recommend this place for the pizza. As far as the staff goes, the cashier and the pizza girl were both good to deal with. Our only observation was that the “cupboards were pretty bare” compared to the photos posted on their site. Many of the shelves and coolers were empty so not sure why? The only suggestion to the new owner is to have some small plastic containers small baggies available to put some chilli flakes (in our case) . The young lady suggested sprinkling some on the pizza from the container she handed me but that wouldn’t work as my spouse CANNOT have anything spicy as chilli flakes.

I live 30 minutes away and take the drive for the best pizza around. I have a ton of places to choose from.. none compare.

The pizza at this restaurant is amazing and I especially enjoy their doughboys and candy.

Just was not allowed to purchase beer because my 18 year old son and his 18 year old friend were with me! I was there buying 3 pizzas and wings. Chips and other drinks. Not allowed to buy myself beer because I had two minors with me! Guy in line behind me had a 12 year old and an 8 year old and the only thing he bought was BEER!! But 12 and 8 are not at an age where they would drink so that is ok!!! You know what is also OK ME NEVER RETURNING TO C K EVER AGAIN!!! The owner wanted me to call the liquor inspector to vent my concerns. I have been in the Navy since 1995 and done countless things for my country and I am not allowed to buy beer if I have my 18 year old son with me?! This is really a thing? I WILL LET MY MONEY talk for me!!! NEVER RETURNING. Owner asked me to talk to the liquor inspector to vent my frustration! I am 46 years old and have served my country my entire adult life. Never have I ever felt less American than today!

Very disappointed in the pizza here. Have purchased pizza here for years. Recent ownership change and the pizza shows. I understand prices have gone up, but to increase almost 50 is very disappointing. In addition to the price increase, the amount of topping has almost become nonexistent. I would have to guess that the topping is now about 10-15 of what it used to be. We ordered hamburg for a topping, and multiple slices had 3-4 (very small) pieces on the whole slice. This is compared to full coverage of topping under previous owner. This is not the first time I have noticed a significant differenc. Since it has happened last few times, I think they just want to give less for more money.
