Aj’s Pizza

We picked this place out of a hat to grab some dinner and wished we hadn’t. The child sitting on the hood of the car out front attempting to dismantle the windshield wipers was an interesting foreshadowing into out dining experience at this… establishment.
We strolled in and ordered a pizza, a salad and a soda. I asked him what sodas he had and he point to a refrigerator of 2 liter bottles. They only had two liter bottles of soda. Do they sell diabetes insurance as well because holy crap.
So I asked for two cups of water which never came.
As the wife went across the street to get a fanta, the guy came out to tell me that they didn’t have forks. He was going to bring out the salad but…
After that I tried to play one of the video games. I fed it two quarters and… nothing. Strike… um… crap I lost count.
when the wife comes back, the pizza comes out. Sorry! We dont have any plates. Honestly, how difficult is it to run across the way and buy some plates and forks? Or call someone? because you might get a Unilocaler…
At this point it just felt like they were playing a joke on us. Yes, a Pizza came out that had ingredients that we ordered. It was hot. That was about all that went correctly in our visit to AJ’s pizza.
No forks, no plates, no water, no soda less than a gallon, wires are hanging out of the ceiling, there is a tiny TV in the corner at a very high volume blaring static…

Would i ever come back to this place? You couldn’t pay me.

This is another place that could be easily missed driving down Amar Road. It’s located behind a vacated building in a strip mall next to Chris’s Burgers. It looks dinky from the outside, but inside, you’ll be amazed.
Came here because of Vince V. He told me the pizza slices were really good and cheap too. He wasn’t wrong.
And serving hot, right out-​of-​the-​oven pizza? I think YES!
My only problem was that pizza slices for $ 1 are only served during lunch hours on weekdays, and I came in on a Saturday, so could I afford to try anything? Yes I can!
The guy behind the counter handed me a specials flyer and it said, «Large 1 Topping Pizza $ 5.50 + tax.» I ordered that with pepperoni and in about 15 minutes, he delivered it to the table and the pizza was beautiful, grease and all.
The first bite was honestly painful. I didn’t know it was going to be burning hot, silly me. The sauce singed the roof of my mouth and we didn’t buy any drinks, but I kept eating the pizza. (It’s funny, they sell 2-​liter Pepsi products in a Coca-​Cola fridge, no diet drinks) It was cheesy, slightly crunchy, very thin, pepperoni-​y, and delicious. I could do without that all that grease, but you can always dab it.
Bring your own drink if you can, and bring a nice group of people to enjoy a pizza with. Happy eatings!
Oh and the games don’t seem to be working, so I don’t know why they’re there.

What more can I ask for, $ 1 for a slice of pizza. This may not be a restaurant like Gondola’s or NYPD, this certainly beats Pizza Hut and Domino’s!
The pizza had a thick, golden brown cheese on a soft and crunchy crust. My pizza slices were ready in less than 15 minutes. They only had two liter soda’s, no cans but you can always purchase a drink from the burger place next door.
The guy who served me was friendly, the parking was easy, a couple of tables for dining, video games, the business is in back of another business, so be aware.
Overall, I would come back and recommend for people in the area looking for a solid, cost-​effective pizza in La Puente/​Baldwin Park.
It may be small, no waiters, no concierge service, no flowers or golden gates, but as Janet Jackson once said, it does not really matter.

Hmm, he-​he
Oh, hey
Doesn’t matter (It doesn’t matter)
Doesn’t matter at all
Doesn’t matter what your Unilocal is telling you
Doesn’t matter what Urban Spoon is saying too
It just matters that I eat your pizza too
It only matters that the crust is off the hook
It doesn’t matter if whether Elites go too
Cause I am eating all the pizza, true
Just as long as it’s you
Nobody but you, AJ’s Pizza
My hunger for you, unconditional hunger too
Gotta get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up and show you that it!
Doesn’t really matter fancy eyes are seeing
Cause I’m a hungry pizza fiend
And it doesn’t really matter what they believe
What matters to me is pepperoni and cheese
Doesn’t really matter fancy eyes are seeing
Cause I’m a hungry pizza fiend
And it doesn’t really matter what they believe
What matters to me is pepperoni and cheese
Service so kind
The Pizza that I like, oh what a find
(A slice that is mine)
And I will eat this all the time
Doesn’t matter if you’re not west side allure
Doesn’t matter if you don’t sport a couture
Cause I’ll take away the doubt right from the start
And you will put another pizza in my cart
Doesn’t matter what the pain business goes through
Doesn’t matter if you are in the back too
Just as long as pizza is good,
The pizza is good, AJ’s Pizza
My hunger for you, unconditional hunger too
Gotta get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up and show you that it!
Doesn’t really matter fancy eyes are seeing
Cause I’m a hungry pizza fiend
And it doesn’t really matter what they believe
What matters to me is pepperoni and cheese
Doesn’t really matter fancy eyes are seeing

And it doesn’t really matter what they believe
What matters to me is pepperoni and cheese
Service so kind
The Pizza that I like, oh what a find
(A slice that is mine)
And I will eat this all the time
Doesn’t matter what anyone may say
Cause you know I’m eat AJ Pizza anyway
Doesn’t matter what review
Cause I’m gonna eat a slice or two
My hunger for you, unconditional hunger too
Gotta get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up and show you that!
My hunger is true, for a slice or two!
