Before Quest is Completed

Before 11:05

As you walk in the front door of Jax 'Za, the first thing you notice is a large sign that reads "Hot Pie Till 11:05." It looks like a nice family pizza parlor. The place is busy but not packed. Other than the main restaurant there's a bathroom and a door at the end of the hall marked "Office - Private." Since you ate before heading out to fight crime, you aren't hungry right now.

Try the Private Office
Try the Bathroom

After 11:05

You walk up to Jax 'Za, and two heavies stop you at the door. "Can I help you?" one asks. "You here to see somebody?"

You Say: John Steele

Entering any other name will produce the response:
Sorry, but (name) ain't here. or something similar

With any weapon equipped:

Jax 'Za
The two guys look at each other for a second, then look at you, then back at each other. "Okay," one says. They pat you down before letting you in, and quickly locate your weapon. "You know the rules," one goon says. "Come clean or don't try to see Big J." Guess you're going to have to leave your weapon behind.

With no weapon equipped:

Jax 'Za
The two guys look at each other for a second, then look at you, then back at each other. "Okay," one says. They pat you down to make sure you don't have a weapon, and wave you on in.

Inside the place is dimly lit, but you can see a light streaming out from the back of the hall where the office door is cracked open.

You also have the option to:

Go to the Office

or

Visit the bathroom

Go to the Office

(Fight Big Bad John Steele)
This fight can be won without the steel knuckles, but character stats should be roughly level 8 at least. There is no special reward for winning this way.
Defeating this boss nearly completes this quest.

Visit the bathroom (without having the steel knuckles placed by Bob)

You step into the bathroom and look around. There's nothing interesting there, though, so you head back to the lobby.

Visiting the office then yields:
(Fight Big Bad John Steele)

Visiting the bathroom (after Bob has taken the steel knuckles from you)

need actual text for retrieving steel knuckles, which are automatically equipped

Visiting the office then yields:
(Fight a very dazed John Steele)
Defeating this boss nearly completes this quest.

After Quest is Completed

Before 11:05

same as before?

After 11:05

You swing by the pizza place. It's still open during the day, but at night the place is quiet and deserted. No goons standing out front. No criminal activities running in the back. All is as it should be. You smile in satisfaction and enjoy the quiet for a moment, and then continue on your way.

"Jax 'Za Pizza" is probably a written rendering of the stereotypical Italian pronunciation of "Jack's Pizza".
