Late night super fun spot to go to and talk to people and sharing experiences. The people that go there are so diverse and interesting. I find myself realizing that I am in such a small bubble when I hear the life stories of people that go. This place is a fun social gem. The service is slow but that slowness it turns out is what makes it special lol. You build such a sense of connection sitting there and waiting for your food. I ran into some super fun and smart and witty people there.

This place has been in my neighborhood since 2018, and I never had a chance to try it in a while, I think it used to be a different pizza place until it got taken over by Baba'z Grill. Located right next to 大三元 777 noodles house, it stays opened until 4 AM every day. If you want to try Middle Eastern style pizza, it is the place, unless you are a regular shawarma or others which they also have on the menu. $18 medium size pizza, I ordered meat lover no cheese and thin crust, came put great, has ground beef, pepperoni and sausage, I was hoping to have chicken on the topping as well, but the size portion was just right, perfect for one person, the thin slides made it decent and not overpowering for my taste, of course without the cheese I enjoyed it even more, plus you get to try to fajitas sauce and the buffalo sauce on your pizza instead of the regular marinara sauce. I guess I missed out on the Mashawi plate, and I am glad I asked, they only have chicken plate right now, and if I wanted something else I need to call ahead. Thank you to Mosab who took care of my order, it was fast, less than 15 minutes, he offered me dine in option since they have tables, but I asked for take out. Also the place accepts EBT, I can't wait to come back to try the Mashawi plate, I obtained the cell phone number of Mosab so I can call in advance. Parking is in the back, since after the road construction it's even harder to find any street parking now.

Glad this place is open late! A lot of places close by 10pm. Also, most affordable of the ones open late. I love that their specialty pizzas are reasonably priced, because it's nice to have more than just 1 topping without feeling like you're being taken advantage of. And of course, it tasted great! I added some chili flakes, parmesean, & sriracha at home... the perfect combo!! Speaking of perfect, I was so happy to see that they sold Vimto here. A boldly, sweet, sparkling beverage. They have in both cans or bottles... try one if you haven't before. It's most similar to a Shirley Temple. Although I got carry-out, you could very well dine inside, as there's a couple tables & an expansive menu with a lot of classic choices (pasta, salad, sandwiches, chicken tenders, fries, etc).
