Local Customer Questions Significant Price Discrepancy at Pizza King

A local customer has raised concerns about a substantial difference between advertised and charged prices at Pizza King, sparking questions about pricing transparency in the community.

According to a post in the Dunlap Enquirer community group, the customer visited Pizza King and ordered a House Special Calzone listed online at $8.49. However, when the bill was presented, the total came to $14.21—a difference of $5.72.

The customer noted that while they understood card payment fees might apply, the discrepancy seemed unusually large. When they contacted the restaurant to inquire about the charge, they were informed that the price charged was correct.

“I know paying with a card is more, but a $5.72 difference? I don’t think so,” the customer stated in their post, which has prompted other community members to share their experiences.

The incident raises questions about how menu prices are displayed online versus what customers are charged at the register. Community members are encouraged to share their own experiences with the establishment to help clarify whether this is an isolated incident or a broader pricing concern.

Pizza King has not yet issued a public statement regarding the pricing discrepancy. Customers with similar experiences are encouraged to contact the restaurant directly or reach out to local consumer protection resources for guidance.
