"You look very familiar," a Pasadena, California, Blaze Pizza customer says to the franchise's newest employee, Ron. "Very familiar."

That's because "Ron" is actually none other than LeBron James, gone undercover during a break between basketball games in Los Angeles last month. 

Though some customers suspect where they might know James from, they still can't quite pinpoint just which basketball player he is. 

"He looks like Dwyane [Wade,]" one woman says. 

"I get that a lot," James jokes. "I've heard of that guy."

Alas, some customers do recognize James, though, and stop to snap a requisite selfie. 

The video was posted Friday by Blaze Pizza, for which James is a spokesman, with the closing question "Where might Ron pop up next?" So here's hoping we haven't seen the last of our favorite new Blaze Pizza employee.
