Papajoe's Pizza — Restaurant in Bellflower

I read a review about this place? Locked door, dark, call in your order, your order will be made even without yhem taking your name.... all true. A few weeks ago my brother in law brought us some pizza from here..... and it was delicious. Now yes, costco&sams have pizzas under $10, here a large is 14.99+tax but you get choices, many choices. My niece, her husband and her daughter said, this is the BEST pepperoni pizzas they've EVER had. I agree it is really really good. Their Hawaiian pizza is very good too, and my personal favorite.

The whole transaction will take place through a closed door with a pizza sized hole in the center. They say the shadiest spots have the best food and that rings true for this place. Only downside is the hours are inconsistent and the owner doesn't...

Wow, what a great pizza! So many toppings! The cheese stretches perfectly, and the sauce was really good too, with a good amount of it still shining through all the toppings. Delicious.

We got a large pizza with 3 toppings: onions, green peppers and chicken. The toppings are loaded! Not like any chain.

edit: 2 years later and the pizza is pretty much exactly the same. Still great.

The main difference in flavor that some people might not like is that the sauce is a little more on the sour side, not overly sweet like most chain pizza. I really like the way this sauce tastes, it's delicious. But I can see that being divisive for...
