      I imagine you show the voucher and your ID when you exit/pay, they would deduct $17 from what you have paid on the Vapiano card.

          @lovepeoplenotmoney:

          Depends on the cashier is my guess. I ordered an $18 pizza and took my chances. Asked the cashier (a dude who works there, not a manager) how it works and he said, I'll just take $17 off the total, so I paid $1 (on my ING 2% paywave card too might I add!). He didn't even check my ID.

          If you are going to the Flinders Lane one in Melb, I suggest you arrive and order before 12pm. I just before 12pm and it wasn't busy, but still had to wait 20 mins.

    Sydney has no meat pasta or pizza dishes for $17 or less. Can we buy a $18 or $20 item and just pay the difference?

    • baicai on 07/08/2016 - 22:32

      Yes, you can.

    • qvntmflx on 08/08/2016 - 09:38

      Just received this from Vapiano Flinders Lane, assume it's the same everywhere.

      "You can only order a pizza or pasta up to and including the value of $17. If you order something above $17, you need to pay the full price. However, if you order a $17 meal with extra chicken, for example, you only pay $4 for the chicken. Enjoy!"

      • dammit on 08/08/2016 - 10:11
        +2

        I asked Vapiano (Australia) the question on facebook via message and they said. "Yes you may order a $17 the pizza or pasta as a 100% discount and then pay full price for the extras. The extras are treated just a separate item on the bill."

        So we can order a $17 pizza or pasta, add chicken or ham or some meat, (given they are all vegetarian) and just pay the 'gap'.

        Do not order a $18 or $20 pizza and think you can pay the difference as that is not allowed…for some strange reason…….

        • madfree on 08/08/2016 - 11:36

          I went last night, ordered a pizza and pasta. We called up earlier and the "Morning Manager" had quoted us that we will pay the difference. Upon paying, we were given a $42 bill and the "Night Manager" apologised that the "Morning Manager" was incorrect and we still had to pay the $42. The "Night Manager" was insincere about the apology and kept insisting we pay the full price. He shrugged with 'deal-with-it' attitude.

  • Sancho123456 on 08/08/2016 - 07:50
    +2

    I see this quickly going pear shaped. They are now saying one voucher per day despite multiple golds (didn't see this on the T&C's anywhere). Taking that into consideration we should still have at least two vouchers (as we are up to three gold, 2 on one day 1 on another).

    • brentsbits on 08/08/2016 - 17:40
      +2

      They can limit it like that of they want to (in my book anyway). Sure, they didn't say that originally but it's something free that they didn't have to do, you don't even need to be a customer of theirs, but anything else or anything.

      Hell. It would still be a good deal if it was just a free garlic bread :-)

      If you are in Melbourne..yes I did get a free pizza!!

      Make sure it is $17 or under. I noticed lot of ppl showing their phones before exiting..some even had to pay as their orders were over $17….looks like the staff wasn't too impressed though..but who cares..as long as you have the email.

  • Sancho123456 on 08/08/2016 - 12:50

    Just got my first free pizza. My mate wasn't so lucky. Make sure you only order items that are below $17 or expect to pay the full price! You CANNOT pay the difference. Despite it not specifically saying it in the T&C's, they will not allow you to pay the difference (i.e. order $19 dish use voucher and pay $2).

    If the dish allows for extras such as extra bacon, extra cheese etc you will be able to pay for those add ons.

    • brentsbits on 08/08/2016 - 17:38

      Yeah, the offer says it's for things under $17 but I went in and ordered something over and expected to pay the difference because of the post on their Facebook page.

      So yeah, it does specifically say that it's something to the value of $17, not that it's a voucher for $17 off. At least on the webpage etc.

      You can, however, order something under $17 and get extras and just pay for the extras.

      Not wrote as good as before but it's still a bloody great deal.

    Got a Salami pizza for lunch in Brisbane today. This was at midday and the guy serving me had heard of the deal but hadn't processed one yet (I thought there would have been lots of people getting this), but he asked the manager and they just pushed the "Promotion" and "100% off" buttons on the screen and all was done. He didn't require me to show ID, he didn't record that I'd already 'used up' my free Pizza. Very easy and Pizza was tasty - thanks Vapiano!

    Melbourne - waste of time. I got there 11:40am, my order was second one as there was no queue for pizza, but plenty of people waiting to order pasta. I left after 35 mins and being promised twice that my pizza is almost there. And it wasn't just me.

    Too hectic and unorganised, waitresses were preparing pizzas as well. I can do it home as well I guess.

    And it's not like it's free so I can't complain - I've just wasted an entire lunch break even though I arrived early.

    • Been on 09/08/2016 - 12:54

      I ordered my pizza just before 12pm and got it after about 20 mins.

      Might try pasta next time, they cook it on the spot so you know it's coming.

      • pizzaguy on 09/08/2016 - 13:14

        They cook pizza in front of you as well and it looked like up to ten minutes waiting, given my pie was literally second at the time. You were lucky then, not like me and the people I was standing with after patiently spending some 25+ mins at the table.

        BTW, I didn't really like the idea of how you order there, but well, was suppossed to be free.

  • Misterbumpy on 09/08/2016 - 14:07

    Tried it last night (Monday) at 7:20pm at Flinders Lane, Melbourne. Knowing what I learnt here I made sure to ask the counter lady of the offer.

    "Order any pizza or pasta above $17 and you just pay the difference", was what she said.

    There wasn't a queue for ordering pizza but I had to wait 40 mins to pick-up my pizza. My wife stood in the queue for 50 mins to an hour to finally order and get her pasta. I fed her in the line with my pizza.

    When paying the rather nice gentleman asked us, "Are you using vouchers? Don't worry about showing it or your ID" and promptly scanned my card and applied the discount.

    We mentioned how busy it was and he said that management had not anticipate the popularity of the promotion and pointed out how they ran out of pizzas not long ago. They also ran out of some pasta types. To sum it up: it was crazy, long waits; average food; but will do it again with caution by visiting earlier.

    Vapiano should pick up their game and hire more staff to cope with the demand as the customer experience when ordering was terrible, the opposite of the chic venue and the prices you would normally pay.

    • anastasiastarz on 09/08/2016 - 16:11

      Yeah, just got that one too. Don't think I'll be able to cash any of my vouchers, what a shame. If the old vouchers still work at any time, might be able to grab a lunch pizza, but suspect it will be packed at lunch and not sure if feasible. No point in trying the new vouchers at all.

      Edit: conditions gone from free pizza every gold => free pizza voucher every day we win one or more golds, not valid Thursdays and Friday's => only redeemable 2 specific hours over 3 specific days.

      Wonder what next voucher will be like. First 20 people on Wednesday after 3pm?

          They are dealing with being OzBargained. What did you expect?

          It's free. Take the conditions of don't take the freebie.

        They must still honour the old vouchers anytime from Sunday-Thursday, right?

      Well, can we show them the earlier email that has less restrictions? People can unsubscribe and not getting the latest emails so it might probably work.
