Arthur Karyakos Owner/server/cook Ocean’s Pizzeria 4150 Mission Blvd., Unit #107 at the Promenade Arthur, as he’s known to those who frequent Ocean’s Pizzeria, provides a laid-back alternative in an increasingly structured restaurant world. Whether you come to the beach or live in the neighborhood, Arthur welcomes customers to stop by at their convenience. And if you’re not in a hurry, he makes time to talk and converse with his clientele. “If I make somebody happy with their experience, then I’ve made an impact, and the food is in addition to that. It’s a very laid-back atmosphere here. People can sit down at a table or come right up to the counter and order. There’s no pressure. We treat people just like family; Ocean’s is a home-like experience.” — Lee Cornell
