“Hey, Joe.” The Best Part About Pizza Expo 2017

Customer of the Month – Dagwoods Pizza
It’s not every day a customer brings you flowers.
The best moment at this year’s Pizza Expo had to be the special delivery of a bright and beautiful bouquet of flowers, accompanied by a thank you letter and this great photo of the high-energy team at Dagwoods.
We couldn’t resist honoring them right back as our Customer of the Month.
More than your average pizza joint, Dagwoods of Santa Monica has delighted local crowd with great pizza, pastas, and more for generations. Owner Edward Han started working at Dagwoods 15 years ago, and has since taken over from his parents, who have retired from the day to day. Their retirement offered new challenges for Han. He has grown the business through hard work, perfecting the traditional Dagwoods recipes to deliver the best pizza in the area.
