CINCINNATI — Fireside Pizza is offering a reward for the identity of a man who broke into the Walnut Hills restaurant.

Security video from the pizza restaurant shows a man walk up to the outside of the restaurant, turn away from the door and then throw a rock through the door's glass. The man then reaches his hand through the broken window, opens the door and enters the restaurant.

Fireside Pizza said the man is white, 5'9" and roughly 180 pounds.

"Decent velocity on his fastball," the pizza restaurant joked on social media.

Fireside is offering a $5,000 reward to anyone who can provide a positive ID for the man.

Fireside is also asking that those looking for a place for dinner this weekend, consider their restaurant.

"We need a little 'Walnut Hills Stimulus' to pay for a new window, service call, some booze and a new hand-painted front door sign," the restaurant wrote on social media.

"We're very lucky to be in business and be safe and healthy — we appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you soon," the restaurant wrote.
