One of the best BBq chix pizzas I've had- don't sleep on the added cashews It sounds weird but adds a lot ( they ask if you want them or not so don't worry!) Highly recommend sitting at the street facing counter to people watch while you grub.

We felt welcome in Pizza Man Dan's as it looked inviting. It was kind of like a Shakey's but we wanted to give it a shot since Rusty's looked packed. Clean restaurant and great customer service, but that didn't help the food. Although it looked great online, we were pretty disappointed. I felt that the pizza wasn't fantastic but it wasn't terrible it was just okay. We got a half and half pizza for the two of us. Although the barbecue chicken pizza with jalapeños was pretty good, the supreme pizza was just alright. Nothing too crazy but it was packed with toppings which is why we didn't feel it was bad. The potato wedges were chunky and soft. It was underwhelming not to chomp into a crispy exterior with a fluffy inside. These had a "from freezer, to microwave" consistency. Super oily too and for the price, the amount you get was not worth it. We did only spend a couple of minutes deciding where to eat, but if we were to go back, we'd probably choose another pizza spot entirely. Perhaps others have a strong connection to the food here but for us, Pizza Dan was not the Pizza man.

My salad toppings were the same components as my pizza toppings ($17 salad...). The pizzas were pretty bad...we ordered 4. No debit or credit cards even though the sticker is in the window.

Our server was very nice and when I ordered a gluten free pasta she brought out gluten free bread for the table without even asking, such a nice touch that I rarely see at restaurants. They were a bit busy the night we visited so the food took a while to come out, but it was worth the wait! I got the gluten free primavera Rosa with added chicken (and it only cost me $3 extra which so affordable!) and my date got the chicken piccata. We were both raving about it as we scarfed it down! This place really feels like they've invited you into their home for a delicious home cooked meal. I think it is also family owned and operated which I always so nice to see.

I am a California native and although I was raised in LA, I spent my summers in this area but haven't had a chance to discover this hidden gem.

I do like that they had some options for gluten free, you can lettuce wrap most sandwiches and burgers. The food wasn't terrible either, but if I'm paying $18 for a burger and side salad I want it to be great. The seltzers were good though and I think worth the $8 price tag you see at most local breweries. The real kicker was the $3 charge for using a credit card that I didn't see posted anywhere (I could've missed it to be fair). The patio was nice and you can people watch on the busy street but inside wasn't anything exciting either. Again, our visit wasn't bad but wasn't great.
