Waleeto's Pizza — Restaurant in Hawthorne

So I’m pretty conflicted about this review. I was reading other reviews and got excited to order something from here, so that’s what I did.

I’m here for work, and jumped on DoorDash to place an order. A handful of reviews highly suggested adding zaatar. I was curious and like trying something new, so I included a message in the comments to add some zaatar, and also ordered some wings. After I placed the order, I jumped in the shower. While in the shower, my phone started ringing left and right. I stepped out eventually, dripping everywhere, and answered the phone. Kudos to the workers calling me to confirm details of my order, but this might be where maybe I messed up? She was asking about the zaatar, the pizza sauce, how it’s done, I don’t know, I’m dripping over the floor of my hotel bathroom’s floor. She was very polite, and me not knowing anything, politely told her I don’t know anything about it but I saw people raving about it in the reviews, and asked her to make it “you typically make it.” That might have been my error. I sauntered my pasty body back into the shower.

The food showed up, and upon initial presentation, looked great. I was salivating. Bit into the pizza, and it had decent flavor, but seemed very dry and different. The flavor was there, but something seemed off. Upon further inspection, there was zero pizza sauce. That’s what was missing, and why it seemed so dry. I quickly realized my “do it how others do it” comment probably wasn’t the best idea. I could tell with sauce, this pizza would’ve been top notch, but unfortunately in this condition I could only eat one and a half slices and ended up tossing the rest, which was unfortunate because I was planning on bringing the rest to work tomorrow for lunch. I just couldn’t do it though. Without sauce, its dryness level was equivalent to a Popeyes biscuit.

On the other hand, the wings were absolutely delicious. Fat, juicy, and full of flavor. Would 100% recommend.

The difficulty in this review was how many stars. I contemplated 2 or 3 stars, but chalked most of the discrepancies up to miscommunication and misunderstanding, mostly on my part, and don’t want to harm the rating of a small business.

I was excited for it and wanted to love it, but I honestly just didn’t. But I am also human enough to admit much of the fault lied more with me than the...

I ordered my usual order tonight and was told it was 15.00 more when i questioned it ( i order the same thing every time) I was told it was the delivery charge and tax. I was going to let it go and take it up with the owner well she didn't like that I gave my card number and was told it was declined ( which was not possible plenty of money in my account) so she confirmed my card number and said she would re run it and if there was a problem she would call me back to cancel the order i did ask for a itemized reciept and my charge slip ( then it came back to me she's done this before) because i questioned the difference in price I opened my bank app and waited 15 minutes so I called back to check again and was told no it didn't go through but I was looking at my account and she never ran the card so i said cancel the order and hung up called PIZZA HUT and got double the food for same price and included delivery and NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY CARD ! So now i know they were just trying to rip me off and got faster delivery and double the food .. So be...

While Lido's is good it's different it stands apart from every other pizza place that I've been to why because the prices are reasonable a little misleading when you walk in the store right on the counter to the left they have a small pizza for 649 but when you actually order it it comes out to like $8 then I asked the cashier why she goes oh that's the price from when covid started and I said OK so why don't you take it down why do you have it facing the cash register as soon as you walk up to the counter I said that's to trick people into buying it and over Charging them 2 to 3 extra bucks she doesn't say anything about it obviously she's just a worker the owner I think he looks to be are many or something I'm not saying that they like to sneak attack and you know take more money from you but from my experience that's what they do aside from that the pizza's good prices are alright you know We'll see watch what they charge you they like to sneak extra...
