Pizza Man

I apologize if this is not the typical review I write, but when something like this happens, I like to share it so people can see who is behind the restaurant and what their characters are. John is a man of integrity and honesty. He trusts his employees and run his business with respect. I used to frequent Pizza Man when I lived closer, and their thin crust pizza has always been my favorite. There was an issue today when I ordered via Grubhub (first time), John called me on the phone after, he was very open and honest about the issues with the third-party system and shared with me challenges on their side and what could've potentially happened. They delivered the pizza, I couldn't find the pizza no matter how hard I tried. I am a person who I believes strongly in morals and values. He trusted me and his employees, he took the fall for it and wished me a good day. That didn't sit well with me, that a business owner of such character was punished for something that they most likely didn't do. It was never my intention to cause trouble for a local restaurant by asking Grubhub's customer support, I simply couldn't find my pizza (I'm still not sure where it went) and just wanted to know what to do next. So I drove to Pizza Man, asked for John, and handed him the $20 for the pizza. John was adamant on not taking the $20 and instead ask that I simply come again next time (in person or call via phone) to buy another Pizza from them. He trusted me and he knew things like this could've happened, he refused many many times and he told me that he can tell I was being honest and wasn't someone who was just trying to cheat the system. I felt the same, I would much rather give the $20 and keep an honest local restaurant going (regardless of how small a $20 is) than to see one with such morals close someday. I put the $20 on the counter and backed away. He was still adamant but I insisted. He finally caved and gave a small smile from the exhausting day he had at the restaurant, he thanked me and asked me to come back soon. I smiled back, told him I will, and left. I will definitely visit again soon John! Only this time, I'll make sure to order directly from the Pizza Man website haha Take care!

Don't go here. The service was terrible. When i walked in there was no one at the front. I had to call for someone twice before a person came out to take our order. He got our order wrong and we were the only customers in the restaurant. There were flies everywhere. The pizza was ok.

I visited Pasadena on another pretense and then lunch time rolled around and I found my favorite "pizza man". So fresh and delectable. I found me this great spot when I am visiting pasadena. I am excited to say in addition that they have the sports channel on and at a very nice volume and one can view two games at once. Loved my visit and I can't wait for another excuse to stop by and have their fresh food. Check them out it totally is home away from home!
