London’s biggest pizza festival, MySliceFest at Wembley Park yesterday, left visitors queuing up to 2 hours for a slice of pizza.
.@pizzahutuk any chance you could send about a thousand pizzas down to @myslicefest ?

Visitors turned to Pizza Hut for delivery because they felt it would arrive sooner than waiting in the huge queues that snaked around the car park, where the event was held.
Twitter went into mozzarella melt down when visitors complained about the long queues caused by not enough pizza vendors to go round. Rather than enjoying the event, visitors found themselves stuck in queues and missing the live entertainment.
@NicholasCollins we got in the queue to order at 4:45 and am only just getting pizza. LucknNeat have been and gone. pic.twitter.com/T74nXNFR8K

. @xLizziDx we started before that! Been at least 2.5 hours now… Still no word from @myslicefest #myslicefest

#myslicefest great idea! Until you spend more time queueing for food than actually dancing & the venue is a car park. ?

Social media manager of @myslicefest has got a rough week ahead of them. Absolute shambles to think 7 vendors could cope #myslicefest

Really liked the idea of #myslicefest but the execution was horrendous. Such a shame. Definitely not worth the ticket price.

Can't recommend @myslicefest. Hours of queuing in a car park for pizza. Music from DJs and performers 15 years past their prime. Overpriced.

2 hours queues for pizza at @myslicefest and then they run out of dough. #areyoukiddingme #abouttocollapse

Nearby pizza restaurants provided refuge to those let down by the Pizza festival
Don't waste your time with @myslicefest sooo poorly organised! We'll have our pizza elsewhere! ? @bbmason pic.twitter.com/LZ52hji2Ei

By the sounds of it, it was a good decision to go to @FrancoMancaPizz this afternoon instead of #myslicefest pic.twitter.com/x6o5I5tWMr

— Nick Collins (@NicholasCollins) July 30, 2016
@myslicefest I want a refund as this is not what I paid for! Who do I contact please?
— Ruth Grosart (@Roo_fi_o) July 30, 2016
@myslicefest I once lost a £20 note and that was still better value for money than your festival

do you do refunds
— Lizzi D (@xLizziDx) July 30, 2016
@myslicefest you fucked up so bad. Your 'event' is actually an insult to pizza lovers like myself. R E F U N D
— soulrebelyogi (@simtheoracle) July 30, 2016
@myslicefest refund please
— soulrebelyogi (@simtheoracle) July 30, 2016
So the event was a good idea but rather than just chasing the cheese, it ‘kneaded’ more pizza dough planning, hopefully the organisers will take this criticism onboard for next time.
