Pizza for Isaacson
Last night, it was my turn to pick what Jenelle and I would get for dinner. As you might have guessed, I chose to order pizza from Tenuta's, one of my favorite places. I called them twice and got no answer. Since it's only five minutes away, I decided to drive over and find out what was going on. I learned that Tenuta's has been CLOSED since October 6 "due to the loss of our lease". Major bummer.
After weighing our options, we decided to order from a different pizza place in Sturtevant, called Muto's. We called in our large cheese with 1/3 ham & black olives and went to pick it up about twenty minutes later. Our order was under the name "Isaacson". Keep that in mind as you read the details to come.
As we were leaving Muto's, Jenelle and I had the following conversation:
"Jenelle, I smell onions."
"Yeah, the whole place smelled like onions."
"I wonder if they gave us the wrong pizza."
"Nah, it's fine, let's go."
As we pulled out of the parking lot, we happened to notice Uncle Jerry pulling in. After a friendly wave, we made the turn onto Durand Avenue, and then to 90th street. I was still pretty sure that I could smell onions, but we didn't want to open the pizza in the car.
After a bit of confused discussion, we didn't know what to think. Then, Jenelle put 2 and 2 together.
"Wait, our order was under ISAACSON, right?"
Yup, that's right, we got Uncle Jerry's pizza. As I turned around to head back to Muto's, Jenelle called Aunt Nancy on our cell phone. Sure enough, they ordered a large pizza with cheese, sausage, mushrooms, and onions. As we got back to the parking lot, Uncle Jerry was just about to leave. We made the switch, confirmed that we had the right pizza, and headed back home.
So, two people with the last name of Isaacson, perhaps the only two families in Sturtevant with that last name, happened to order pizza from the same place at nearly the exact same time. I was surprised that no one at Muto's confirmed our order when we arrived or even mentioned that there were two orders under Isaacson. They still don't know they messed up, and probably never will. Heh.
We enjoyed the pizza, but we agreed it wasn't as good as Tenuta's. I don't know exactly how they lost their lease, but I hope they get it back real soon!
