This place has been a staple for my family since the late 70s or early 80s. I’ve personally been eating this pizza for about 45 years—easily hundreds, if not a thousand orders. The pizza itself has always been great. It’s what I grew up on, and honestly, that hasn’t changed.
The service has always been a bit awkward, especially when dining in, but I never let that bother me. Mistakes happen—wrong toppings, missing items here and there—but when you’ve been ordering from a place for decades, you understand that comes with the volume.
What happened last weekend, though, completely blew my mind.
We ordered pizza for pickup while running errands in town. We arrived about 10 minutes early and decided we’d rather just dine in. We explained multiple times that they wouldn’t need to do anything extra—we’d eat it straight out of the box, order a couple of sodas, and tip accordingly.
They flat-out refused.
No explanation that made sense, no flexibility, just “no.” We were told they couldn’t change the order, even though the pizza was already being made and we were literally standing inside the restaurant ready to spend more money.
So instead of letting paying customers sit down and eat, they chose to lose the sale entirely. We walked out, and they’d rather eat the cost of two pizzas than allow us to dine in.
After 45 years of loyalty, that kind of rigid, customer-unfriendly decision is incredibly disappointing. I still love the pizza—but this experience seriously changed how I feel about supporting this location
The interior and pizza recipe has not changed over the ages. They serve reliable Thin crust pizza with plenty of cheese and ample toppings. Their service has never failed to be friendly to me.
The truest sense of their ability? Pizza Hut is less than a quarter mile away and has been there since the 1980s. Yet Carbonne’s remains. That’s some staying power – for good reason.
This was our first visit. We came on a Saturday night at about 8:15. Seated promptly and food came quickly. We ordered the pizza fries appetizer (basically garlic butter and cheese on a crust) and a large special. The appetizer was fantastic!! The crust was buttery and garlicky and crispy. Soooooo good! The pizza was great as well. Plenty of toppings and loaded to the edge.
Server was great, checked on us often, and she kept our drinks full.
Will definitely be back!
