Del.icio.usFor its hard-working employee and “really great guy,” it was a natural thing for the Round Table staff to throw a pizza party for Michael Pedro on Feb. 28 to mark his 18th year with the Enchanted Lake restaurant. Owner John Parker calculates that on any given day, his full-time prep cook turns 120 pounds of dough into crust, grates 60 pounds of cheese, slices 20 pounds of fresh mushrooms and makes 30 pounds of sauce. “Everybody likes Mike,” says Parker, who originally hired him. “He comes every day and works hard.” In fact, Round Table is only a little bit older than Pedro’s punch card. “We’re working on our 22nd year,” Parker says. The party was also a good time to launch employee Happy Dollars in Pedro’s honor. The “dollars” are a reward when a crew member goes above and beyond the job, and they can be exchanged for free food at the restaurant. Pedro, who graduated from Kailua High School in 1987,may not want to redeem those Happy Dollars right away. “I really like my job a lot, but I don’t care for pizza — I’ve been here too long,” he told MidWeek. “Well, pepperoni and cheese are OK. But I really like the employees.”
