i had the pleasure vs i had a pleasure

The correct phrase to use is 'I had the pleasure.' 'Pleasure' is an uncountable noun in this context, so should be used with the definite article 'the.' 'I had a pleasure' isn't correct as 'pleasure' isn't typically used in the singular form with an indefinite article.
