Papa Ginos - I need my W2 forms to be mailed to me

I don't work there anymore, and I am still waiting for my W-2 forms to come in the mail, and I haven't received them yet. I need to know when I will receive them; I have until April 15 to file.

I need to know as soon as possible. This is a serious matter for me. I need to hear from somebody by today or tomorrow at the least.

Thank you. My name is Kathleen Uchman.

Complaint

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

DI placed an order to be delivered. Order showed up, food was missing.

I called and they were sending it right out. I called back after an hour to find out they never made the food nor were they sending it out. The worker hung up on me. She told her manager that I hung up on her.

Mind you its my third time calling trying to figure out where my food and money is. I called and asked to talk to the manager. He was so rude and awful. He basically called me a liar.

I never received the refund for my food that I never received.

Papa Ginos is awful!! I cant believe how bad I was treated for their mistake!!

I ordered a pizza online and wanted to tip the driver and cash I was unaware that the pizza was delivered because I got no notification and found it on my front doorstep 10 minutes after the fact I called the store to ask for the driver's name and I was laughed at by the young person that answered the phone I then asked to speak to the manager who hung up on me before I even letting me speak what I wanted to say and when I called back the second time he called me a stupid *** *** and I know where you live and I'll come to your *** his name is David it's June 20th and this happened at approximately 7:50 p.m. from the Braintree store which I will never shop at again and I expect a full refund of my charge to my credit card

The first thing you should have said when you called was “This is Mr Smith at 123 Jones St., your driver left without his tip”. That would prompt the business to send the driver back.

Your way, “This is ..... What is your driver’s name....”. You don’t need to know his name.

How would you knowing his name get your tip to him? You wanted his name to have to lodge a complaint.

Guest

Not taking sides, but in the future I would be hesitant to let a place prepare my online food delivery order that didn’t include a tip.

Well, most likely you gave the wrong address.

Guest

" I called the store to ask for the driver's name ", the driver's name is none of your business.

Guarantee you the driver would have made it this customer's business had he known the guy wanted to tip him!!!! But, he ASSumed it was a cheapo customer that was calling to complain and so he cheated himself out of his tip and the lamebrain manager apparently is begging for an assault and battery charge.

OP called and wanted the name to complain the pizza was left outside. What did he need a name for?

To address him by name when he returns for the tip?

Only one person needed id’d to make the tip happen and that is the OP’s. It would be different if OP walked into the pizza shop.

The driver’s time was already wasted since this person passively-aggressively behaved poorly with every intention of leaving no tip. It’s not worth his time to make a second trip.

It seems like you need to rethink your cash on-hand amount and leave some in the bank. There’s not many places to order from where you pay cash. Especially since you don’t drive.

Improperly prepared food

I placed an order (large order), and when we received it, the large steak and cheese was not edible. The steak was so burned that I had to throw it away.

I was so disappointed.

Purchased on 6/30/2025 #363435****362**** in the name Mike H.

The rest of the order was very good.

Food was horrible

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I ordered from Papa Gino's in Salem, NH. #337644****29818, this is my order number. I placed the order on 3/11/25. Papa Gino's used to be my favorite pizza place since I was a kid. Today, I spent almost $42.00 for a small pizza, an order of ravioli, and a 2-liter bottle of ginger ale. They called me and said there was no ginger ale available, so I ordered something else. The food came and I took one bite of the pizza and my stomach turned! I don't know what the sauce or something that was on there was made of! The sausage seemed raw; it was not even edible! It was beyond salty! The ravioli was drowned in sauce, and it was just not good. I am extremely upset for one, I loved that place, and two, the amount of money I spent and I got complete garbage! I called to talk to someone and I was just brushed off like 'oh well, nothing I can do' was how I took it. No apology, no offer to remake the food, nothing. Disgusting! People work hard for their money and expect to eat something good when they order something. Nowadays, nobody cares about a customer being satisfied with their food or whatever it is. Totally unacceptable. I will never eat there again! Do not waste your money; it's garbage!

Of course, they cannot do anything, you did not return the food. If it were really as horrible as you claim, I doubt you ate more than a few bits.

What is disgusting is people like you order food, eat the food, and ask for a refund, lying about the conditions of the food. You are making it harder for people who work hard for their money because they have to raise prices for honest people due to dishonest people like you and your family.

Guest

Return the food for a refund and learn to not post all your private details on a public forum for the world to see.

It wasn't supposed to put my personal information , and I did try for a refund and I was shot down! If anyone cared to read I wrote that I talked to someone , so thats why I ended up writing here.

I would never post my personal information ,it was supposed to be cut off . Not much I can do now!

People can read just find. You cannot read.

You did not return the food, that is the issue.

Does not matter if you talked to someone,the point is you did not return the food.When you talked to someone did you bring the food back or offer to bring the food back? You know if you actually ate the food, and cannot afford to pay for it you do not need to lie, there are soup kitchens for people like you.

Guest

Everyone can read what you wrote just fine. Their/mine return the food comment meant “pack up the uneaten food and return it to the store” and ask for a refund.

Not call the store and ask for a refund. What is your thought process when you see someone comment return the food and your mind thinks, ok I’ll write “if they read what I wrote, I did call the store and was turned down for a refund”?

The question is, did YOU read? Because your post and your comment say nothing about you returning the food.

Disgusting attitude of manager

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Placed an order for almost $50 which never arrived when I received a text saying it had been I called the store. The manager was rude.

Dismissive used extreme profanity and was screaming at the top of his lungs, making threats that he didnt care. It wasnt his problem and hes not the one making all the money Papa Ginos is so he could care less
