When paying with debit/credit card they charge an extra 50 cents. There is sign warning you of the "surcharge" which is way to high considering the amount of your purchase and the fact that processing companies only charge 2.75% or so per transaction. Buyers be aware of the charge.

The pizza here isn't mindblowingly good, but it is of quite respectable quality. It -is-, however, of mindblowing cheapness, especially for its quality (i.e. not bad at all). I don't really know any Spanish, but while I'm assuming the "loca" is supposed to be translated as "place", it could easily be translated instead as "crazy", as in "who would be crazy enough to sell pizza this cheaply?" (You get an extra giant chunk of savings over the already cheap prices if you pick up your pizzas rather than having them delivered, too. 3 medium one topping pizzas, or 2 large 2-topping, for 10 bucks, for instance. Their larges are pretty large, too. I can understand sometimes wanting a fancier pizza (in which case if you're downtown, I recommend Buono's), but I can't imagine ever wanting to buy a pizza from a chain like Domino's or Pizza Hut, where you would get worse pizza for more money.)

The only thing I really have to complain about them is: they don't seem to hire phone-answers from the... brighter section of the population, let's say. Just use their website, don't try to order on the phone, as they don't seem to know any of their deals, or how much anything costs, or how to write down your orders correctly. (This was an issue two separate occasions. Their website's fine, though, as are whoever actually translates orders into pizzas.)
