Meet the Business Owner

Burair A.

Business Owner

Jafang is an ambitious business venture taken on by a current UC Riverside undergraduate business student.

«From humble beginnings as a pizza delivery driver, I was able to acquire the Pizzeria in October of 2013 as the opportunity presented it self. Having worked there for about nine months prior to taking ownership I saw massive potential in the product and the opportunity to gradually transform the struggling restaurant into an iconic California brand. We realize the monumental task ahead of us as we work towards our vision, but I believe in my team and in our ability to navigate through the challenges that lay ahead of us. In that sense, Jafang stands for more than pizza: Our story is one about ambition, along with a celebration of our local talent and community. We are an idea that hopes to inspire young students and entrepreneurs to take risks and pursue their passions and dreams, as we tirelessly work towards ours.»

Certainly don’t hate it here. Relaxed spot with good pizza.
It’s in a college area and not full service so don’t get your hopes up for a fancy night out here. But enjoy the crafts they have on tap.

The BBQ chicken pizza was good albeit the crust was a little on the soft side. We had ordered an extra large and they brought us a large, the employee told us they made a mistake and would fire a small pizza in addition to make up for it. We had to remind them about the mistake and they owed us another pizza before we finally received it. Good beers on tap.
While we were eating there was a table with three guys lounging around, one of them looked high and the others were smoking their e-​cigs. We aren’t having much luck with eateries in this college town, less emphasis on the vaping hangouts and more focus on quality customer service would make a huge difference.

They changed their hours since they opened and that was a bit of an upset. I used to always order pizza from them during the late hours because their thin crust pizzas always had good flavors.

Ordered a veggie pizza and it came with no sauce on it. What kind of pizza comes with no sauce?

Was very excited to try this place 1st because it’s a pizza place, pizza lover over here & 2nd a lot of people I know come here & talk about it. But for my first time we ordered 2 pizzas one was a supreme pizza with no cheese or meats (vegan pizza) then the second one a regular pepperoni with jalapeños & chicken & I order for a side of their «special sauce». When I went to pick up my order the pizzas they were ready to go. The employee greeted me & was nice I enjoyed the look of the place & seems fun to hang out at. I really liked that you can vape inside & they serve alcohol. My only problem is that it would of been nice if they would show you your pizzas before buying & leaving, when I got home my vegan pizza had no marinara sauce on it so it was basically dry pizza with veggies on top not what we order & the other pizza barley had any pepperoni on it & so much cheese on it that it wasn’t even appetizing to eat & they never gave me the side order of the special sauce. Maybe next time will be a better experience.

Awesome place to hang out! Good pizza & beer pitchers! And the best thing of all, they are military friendly! My buddies and I from base make it a point to come out here every chance we get on weekends we work. Lastly, if you can’t decide try the garlic chicken pizza!

So I’ll start by saying that I tried out this spot because it was the second most highly rated pizza place in my new area. Next, I’ll say that its entirely possible that everyone has an off night but I won’t go back to Jafang’s to give them another shot. Sorry Jafang but one bad pizza is enough for me! Seriously though, Mama Celeste has given me better pizzas than what I got tonight. I ordered a cheese and mushroom pizza, which is pretty standard, and I got this disaster! No, I didn’t order thin crust. No I didn’t extra olive oil. This is apparently how Jafang imagines a mushroom and cheese pizza, flat as a pancake and dripping in grease. To add insult to injury, this medium pizza and 8 hot wings set me back $ 20! It wasn’t even cheap! So, I say, save your $$ and head over to the freezer section of your grocery store because you’ll probably get a better pie than what I got from Jafang’s tonight.

This may not be my favorite pizza. Because I like a thicket crust, however. I am giving this place 5 stars mainly based on their customer service. This is a small place that offers a variety of specialty pizzas with gourmet toppings. I have only tried the cheese but it was good.
This little place with like 4 employees provided pizza for my wedding of over 160 guests and were nothing but great to work with. They delivered 50 pizzas to my house, kept them warm. They showed up on time, were very polite and professional. I will definitely return to this place because of how great they treated me. And met all of my needs for my wedding with a smile.
THANK YOU JAFANG PIZZA!
You helped to make our wedding perfect.

My recent experience was a bad pizza… Order a veggie with pepperoni. I got a pizza with no marinara. HANDFULS of Pre chopped diced veggies lots of them instead of whole cut spiral onions and slices of bell pepper. Mini diced piece under the cheese w/​pepperoni. I’ve never been experienced a bad pizza till that order :(I like you jafangs but I won’t be returning. I was going to call and complain immediately but that would have been a waste I feel since you didn’t honor your internet special you are advertising
so why would you care about call complaining about a recent order.
You got what you wanted $$. See ya

Staff here is very friendly and welcoming! Overall the ambiance here is inviting, will definitely be returning. The pizza is delicious and reasonably priced, didn’t give it all stars because they did mess up on part of my order, but it was still a good experience.

Yum! Tried this pizza today and I have to say it was good! I ordered it on. Friday night which meant an hour and ten minute wait but I have to say it was well worth it.
Two pizzas for $ 16 one topping only bit a good deal. Also ordered a Greek salad, loved it. The feta cheese they use is heaven! Only recommendation… cut the romaine lettuce just a little bit smaller. BTW what type of romaine do they use because I loved it! Must try… seriously!

I’ve came to JaFangs countless amounts of times, and what keeps me coming is the costumer service and the food. Every single time that I’ve been here I’ve had an amazing experience. Their pizza and wings are my favorite from this place. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Came in around 11:30 (They close at 12) and asked if I could still order because it looked like they were closing up and the cashier said not pizza only sides because they close the pizza ovens already. I thought that was a bit strange considering the fact that they still had 30 mins left open !
Anyways I ordered the large potato wedges, for 4.99 …
I sat there until 12:06 waiting for some potato wedges man that’s ridiculous! It should take no more than 3 mins to make them … The guy was really nice he gave me two ranches and thanked me for coming and wished me a good night. Very nice guy…
I opened the wedges to eat and they were almost cold, and really thick but they were not bad tasting. It just wasn’t the tAste I was expecting.
The inside of this place looks amazing ! Art work and creativity everywhere.

Great spot for late night thin crust pizza, chilling with friends in college, browsing on your phone/​tablet while watching sports on a big screen and listening to EDM in the background. It’s like you’re at a Vegas pool party but instead of being surrounded by half naked beautiful people, you’re in a coffee shop with liberal nerds like Ray from the HBO show, Girls.
You can make your own pizza or you can order any of their signature pies which are all good… my favorite is the meat eater.

Lately I’ve been going to this pizza place to see if it changed since my last visit and it did. Maybe the night I came in was a bit of bad luck.
Anyway! Let’s get started:
Although it may not be the best pizza in town; I gotta say, the owner/​staff are great. Super duper nice people. They were very kind and cool to us (as always). This really makes a difference when it comes to making me want to revisit a place.
I love the feel of the place, the couches, the decorations, the energy. Very chill to come by and stuff yourself while you digest watching something on the big screen on a nice comfy couch.
Yes, the pizza is good but honestly it’s not the best I’ve had BUT they are the BEST around the area when it comes to: price, toppings (the are very generous with the amount of toppings they put on their pizza) and speed. Also not to mention, when other places are closing up, these guys are still baking pies. That’s good business when you want to grab a bite after 9pm.
There is one thing they could work on, and that’s the crust. If the owner is reading this, don’t get me wrong it’s not bad, but it is a bit mushy/​soggy sometimes. Maybe change the dough up? That’s my feedback, take it or leave it.
It’s a great little business. If you come by Riverside come check this place out.

Interior design is clean, upscale and good vibe.
The pizza was bomb, got a medium sweetness pizza.
My only reason for a four stars is the gnats the were flying around the beer section.

Came by with Christina C. and Nate R. around midnight. We were starving and somewhat near the area, so we decided to give this place a try.
We ordered a medium Garlic Chicken and a medium Sweetness pizzas and a side of garlic sticks. It was enough for the three of us.
Garlic Chicken was my favorite of the two. Not the best garlic chicken pizza I’ve ever had, but for a late night bite, this definitely meets my standards of a good garlic-​y chicken-​y pie. Not much of a crust though.
Sweetness was ok. I don’t usually eat Hawaiian pizzas, which is basically what a Sweetness is except with chicken, but it’s one of the better Hawaiian pizzas I’ve eaten.
Garlic sticks were mediocre. The garlic flavor of the bread was no where to be found. Don’t bother ordering it.
Atmosphere was conflicting. They had EDM literally blasting at max volume throughout the place, which kind of adds on to that late night college vibe. But when we went, there were only two other parties, so I didn’t really think it was necessary. Maybe if it were more busier like on a Friday night, I’d get it. I do like how they have couches though, so you can pig out and lay around.
Staff here is friendly, but we caught wind of two of the workers flat out making out in the kitchen.
In conclusion, pizza alone is three or four stars. But workers making out? One star. Keep that love in the dorm room.
