AVOID THIS RESTAURANT AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!

AVOID THIS RESTAURANT AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!

My family and I have been excited to come to Sedona Pizza Company for a while, after seeing them on Facebook. We saved them as our last meal in Sedona before leaving. Big. Mistake.

We walked in, and immediately were greeted and sat. We were helped by Sarah who acted as though giving a refill was giving up her kidney. We ordered an antipasto salad, "garlic" "cheese"bread, and a pizza with half meat and half veggie.

The "garlic" "cheese"bread was hard, crusty (half of which was so hard and crusty, it could not be eaten), and covered in a thick layer of artificially tasting cheese. There was no garlic to be found anywhere. The waitress asked if we would want marinara and oil and never mentioned a charge, we said "sure!" BEWARE, there is a charge for the marinara.

The antipasto salad was a cup of tough, sad arugula, with a heap of store purchased processed flavorless meats, a few olives and 2 pieces of artichokes. The dressing is solely oil and vinegar and utterly tasteless.

The pizza was black. Burned to a crisp. I understand "wood fired," but I did not expect to actually eat a piece of wood with a few toppings. We asked the waitress why it was burned and if there was anything we could do, she replied, "its wood fired so, no." Helpful. The pizza was also soggy and soupy in the middle. The meat portion had no taste. I rather eat Pizza Hut or Digoriono for the rest of my life than ever have to eat another slice of this pizza again.

We got our ticket and everything total was $60.
Salad= $12.99
Pizza= $17.99 (6 slices)
"Garlic" Bread= $4.99 ("Cheese"= $1, Marinara= $.50)
Margarita= $10
2 Teas= $6

What I am saying, is this is not worth the money.

We left a comment card with our thoughts, but wanted to contact the manager personally, to let him or her know our thoughts.

Gillian (the restaurant manager) could care less about our business, and that was clear. With every problem we listed, she immediately said, "why didn't you say anything?" We did. We informed our waitress about everything and there was nothing done. Gillian's (the restaurant manager) remedy was to offer us a discounted meal the next time we come in. When we informed her we would not be coming back, she then informed us then there was nothing she was willing to do and hung up the phone.

If you are post Jeep tour and starving and literally every single restaurant is closed within a 15 mile radius, then go for it. That is the only way I can ever imagine finding this place edible.
