Excellent pizzas and a variety of fusion foods: Peruvian, Indian and American. Very reasonable and you can use Grub Hub, Uber Eats for a quick delivery. Use it for lunch a lot and for Sports nights at home.

It's a little hole in the wall place but I love their Lomo Saltado. Had to deduct a star though, as their pizza taste like soap and is a little over priced

This place is a pizza and a Peruvian joint . The food had flavor, but it wasn't your traditional Peruvian food. Seems like they are lacking ingredients which leads to bland food. Not saying that one restaurant can't focus on two different types of cuisine but in this case maybe sticking to only one would be favorable. Pro : is delivery . Even tho they are not very quick . Took about 40 minutes if not more . Order in case of emergency and not in case of a crave . I'm yet to try their pizzas. Not sure if I would be ordering from them . The Lomo Saltado needed flavor and their Peruvian complimentary sauces were extremely watery. The tallarin verde: I ordered it with Steak but they called to say they ran out so they asked if chicken was ok, I said yes . My thing is how did you bring me steak with the Lomo but you couldn't do it with the tallarin. Secondly they chopped the chicken in small pieces and was in between the spaghetti. I felt like a 5 year old with the little pieces of chicken in between the pasta. Get your food quality up, after all your prices aren't that low.

The worst freakin place ever!! The saltado de pollo was disappointing. Chicken tasted like it was reheated several times, had no flavor, and full of fries. Hum, making up with fries what it lacked in chicken and flavor? Bingo! Called the restaurant and phone was answered by a young kid who didn't know how to handle my concern. He handed the phone over to the guy with a heavy Indian accent who by the way spoke so fast I couldn't understand him. Told me to call back tomorrow cause he was busy n then topped it off by hanging up on me! Big big f--ing mistake! Let me cut this review short, drove to the place, got my money back from the kid who answered the phone ( he wore a middle school polo shirt, illegal child labor) warned one other customer and walked the f*** out of there!

Ordered thru UberEATS, and NEVER AGAIN. I wish I would have looked up the name before.. Peruvian food and pizza? the info on Uber said it was a different person in a car and when my food arrived from Downey to Paramount it was cold, it was delivered on a scooter! Go figure ...

Guess this place had some funny management before. Regardless I came in here ordering ceviche (which was delicious!) and left with some Argentinian empanadas...and they were amazeballs! Lol but seriously this place is great. It's definitely a hole in the wall but I have no regrets! Also...50 cent playing in the background made this place lit.

I didn't know they have Argentine food, too. They make the best empanadas that I tried in America. They are home made "empanadas caseras". Parecen las empanadas que hace tu mamá! Excelente. Además hay pizzas estilo Argentina, jamí³n, morrones, muzzarella, etc Buena y rápida atencií³n.

Do not order pizza from here! No, no, no I should have know the quality of the joint when I realized it's full name. Also the place doesn't even know it's own identity. Fusion of Peruvian and pizza???? Pizzaman is a known family name and this place is probably still open because of that name. "Piggybacking" Long review. I won't order from here ever again. Don't do it. No, no, no Short story Long, haha Ordered for delivery. After a call from the manager asking me if the pizza arrived. I noticed that 1 1/2hrs had gone by since I ordered. So I was a bit upset that my pizza was going to arrive cold! no discount They charged me 35.93 for the order, when I was told it would be 29.93 Oder was 1 large pepperoni and mushroom hold the mushroom pizza. See photos. Not a deal breaker FYI I can live but I like my mojos round cut not wedges I specifically asked if they had round cut. The manager says yes we do. Then I confirmed they aren't wedges right? He said no. Well I just don't like lies to make a sale. I'm a sales person and this isn't an end result that looks good after a white lie. Either way the wedges were either old and recooked or they where cooked in reused oil. See photos. Also they put the wedges in a divided container to make them look plentiful Conspiracy? Or fact? Over all I'll never call them back and will be telling my neighbors that it's a bad place to order from. FYI I've ordered from pizzaman in Whittier with no complaints. Share on Facebook!

This place is dirty and has very rude staff. I found a hair that was long and black in my take out. I highly recommend NOT eating here. It is GHETTO AF!
