Our Commitment to Customer Satisfaction

At Pizzaiolo, we take pride in serving high-quality, authentic Italian pizza and providing excellent customer service. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we strive to ensure that every order meets our high standards.

We understand that sometimes issues arise, and we are committed to addressing them fairly and promptly. This Refund Policy outlines the conditions under which we offer refunds and the process for requesting them.

  • Damaged food due to improper handling during delivery
  • Order never delivered, despite being marked as delivered in our system

Service Issues

Types of Compensation

Depending on the nature and severity of the issue, we may offer one or more of the following forms of compensation:

Full Refund

A complete refund of the purchase price, including taxes and delivery fees (if applicable), returned to your original payment method.

Partial Refund

A refund for specific items that were problematic or missing, returned to your original payment method.

Replacement

A new order sent to replace the problematic items, at no additional cost.

Store Credit

Credit added to your Pizzaiolo account for use on future orders.

Promotional Offer

Discount codes, free items, or other promotional offers to be used on future orders.

The type of compensation will be determined on a case-by-case basis, considering factors such as the nature of the issue, its severity, and your ordering history with us.

How to Request a Refund

  • Store Credits: Added to your account immediately after approval
  • Replacement Orders: Typically dispatched within 60 minutes of approval

You will receive confirmation via email once your refund has been processed.

Exceptions and Limitations

While we strive to address all legitimate concerns, there are certain situations where refunds may be limited or unavailable:

Time Limitations

Refund requests submitted more than 48 hours after the order was delivered or picked up may be more difficult to verify and may be denied at our discretion.

Customized Orders

For highly customized pizzas or menu items, refunds may be limited if the issue relates to the customization that was specifically requested by you.

Consumption

If a substantial portion of the food has been consumed, we may limit the refund to a partial amount or offer an alternative form of compensation.

Repeated Claims

Customers with a pattern of frequent refund requests may be subject to additional review or limitations on future refunds.

Third-Party Delivery Services

For orders placed through third-party delivery services (e.g., UberEats, DoorDash), the refund policy of that service may apply instead of or in addition to our policy. In these cases, you may need to contact the delivery service directly.

Promotional Items and Discounts

Free items, promotional offers, or discounted items may have different refund terms, which will be specified at the time of the promotion.

Special Circumstances

Catering and Large Orders

For catering orders or large orders (over $200), special refund conditions may apply:

  • Advance notice of cancellation required (at least 24 hours before scheduled delivery/pickup)
  • Cancellation fees may apply for late cancellations
  • Partial refunds may be issued for specific problematic items rather than the entire order

Online Gift Cards

Digital gift cards are non-refundable once purchased. However, if a gift card is not functioning properly, we will address the technical issue or replace the gift card.

Special Events and Promotions

For orders related to special events, holidays, or limited-time promotions, different refund terms may apply due to the special preparation involved. These terms will be clearly communicated during the ordering process.

Our Quality Guarantee

Beyond our refund policy, we stand behind our quality guarantee: If you're not completely satisfied with your Pizzaiolo experience, we want to make it right. Even in cases that may fall outside our standard refund policy, we encourage you to contact us so we can address your concerns.

We value your feedback as it helps us improve our products and services. Your input is essential to our continued growth and commitment to excellence.
