🍕 FREE PIZZA OPPORTUNITY AT BOTTOM OF POST 🍕
I’ve decided to turn off the AI for messenger.
I’m open to using it. But at the same time, I never want people to be fooled into thinking they’re talking to a real person and it’s been one too many times it’s given people incorrect info. And tbh I personally hate talking to AI for responses from businesses. If I want to talk to AI I’ll talk to one of my AI apps.
Right now we will stick with me just doing the best I can to respond to folks.
The most ultimate way to get to talking to me is by ordering a pizza, paying for it, and then giving a casual “Hey Joe when you got a minute can I talk to you?” Spending money at my shop is a great way to let me know that you might be worth my time.
I can’t tell you how many donation requests I get from folks who have never bought a pizza from me…drives me nuts. I’d rather buy a pack of smokes for a hobo. Or “Unhoused Person”…can we stop calling them that?
Hobo sounds way cooler.
I love people, I love conversation, I love our community. If you get ignored it’s not because I don’t like you or I don’t care about you. It’s because I have a family and a very busy pizza shop.
Thousands of people already have this phone number so I figured I’d throw it out there for everybody
If you REALLY HAVE TO GET A HOLD OF ME:
My cell phone: 309-502-0184, save it as Pizza Joe.
🍕 FREE PIZZA OPPORTUNITY 🍕
I actually just got a fun idea.
*TEXT ME* me a screen shot of you having saved my number as PIZZA JOE. By text I mean TEXT 309-502-0184.
Please also put your Name in the text message in case I get time to save it!
When I get time I’ll go through and send a few folks a free large pizza that they can redeem within a week!
I currently have 738 unread text messages. Let’s see if we can break 1,000 before the end of today!
Also…UNLESS YOU HAVE A BIG ORDER, please do not depend on my personal cell phone to order your Medium Sausage and Mushroom pizza 😂
Also: if I don’t call you back or text you back on something important, please don’t be afraid to call again or send another text.
Consistency is key to getting a hold of me!
