Carl drops by Ryder's house in Grove Street. Ryder does not seem that excited to see Carl back. Ryder explains that their is a local pizza place painting over the Grove Street tag on the building, so he wants to go and "teach the owner a lesson". He asks Carl to come along, to which Carl agrees. The two get into Ryder's Picador and drive over to the barber shop. Carl asks if Old Reece still owns the shop, to which Ryder warns Carl not to get a haircut there, stating that Reece popped his membrane years ago. Despite Ryder's advice, Carl goes inside the barber shop and get's a new haircut. Afterwards, Carl goes back outside and Ryder comments on his new haircut.
Ryder tells Carl to go over to the pizza place across the street and get them some food while he finishes smoking. After Carl orders the food, Ryder walks over to the counter with a gun and attempts to rob the parlor. However, the clerk recognizes Ryder, and scares Ryder and Carl off with a shotgun. Carl and Ryder run outside and get into Ryder's Picador. Carl and Ryder drive back to Ryder's house in Grove Street.
After returning to Grove Street, Ryder tells Carl to go over and see Sweet at his house to talk to him about the graffiti all across the hood.

CJ leaves the barber shop.
Ryder:
(if CJ gets a cheap haircut; under $200) Shit, I told you he was crazy! Man, you jacked up!
Ryder:
(if CJ gets an expensive haircut; $200+) You know something? I take it back, Old Reece still got it cracking.
Ryder:
Man, what's this? Shit looks ridiculous. No respect for the 'hood, all clean and shit. You're looking too skinny, CJ. Go and get us something to eat. I'm gonna finish this. Then I'm gonna take care of business.
No one else is that small! I feel sorry for your dad!
CJ:
Shit, you crazy! Let's get out up outta here!
Ryder:
Same old CJ! Busta! Straight busta!
The Well Stacked Pizza Clerk pulls a shotgun from behind the counter and fires a warning shot, sending CJ and Ryder running.
Ryder:
Oh, shit! RUN!
CJ and Ryder get into Ryder's Picador and start to escape as the Well Stacked Pizza Clerk runs out of the store, Shotgun in hand.
Well Stacked Pizza Clerk:
This pizza parlor is no push-over!
Ryder:
What you waiting for, fool? Take us back to the Grove, motherfucker!
CJ and Ryder drive back to Ryder's house in Grove Street.
Ryder:
Better drop by and see Sweet. He's been yapping on about that graffiti, too. Later, homie.

Trivia
After you come out of the barbers and talk to Ryder, if you come out with an expensive haircut, he takes back what he said about Reece, but if you come out with a cheaper hairstyle he will continue to insult Reece. (This appears to be false in the Xbox version of the game, as coming out with a Flat Top ($500) Ryder will continue insulting Reece).
If a player visit Old Reece without money, he/she gets awarded $52 automatically, and if you try to buy food in Well-Stacked Pizza without money, you'll get $2, allowing you to buy the cheapest meal.
The song heard inside Ryder's home is Alwayz Into Somethin' by NWA, a song also heard on Radio Los Santos.
The clerk in the pizza shop says to Ryder, "I feel sorry for your dad," similar to what a clerk says to a character in the beginning of the movie, "Menace II Society."
In the brief cutscene at Ryder's House, Ryder armed himself with a Glock 17, but when he's about to rob the Pizza Parlor, he pulls out a Colt M1911A1.
In a beta screenshot, when Ryder is waiting for you to come out of Old Reece's, he is leaning against a Sadler with barrels in the back instead of his usual Picador.
It doesn't matter where you park Ryder's Picador it will always be teleported to the same spot.
It is possible to unlock restaurants before this mission by dating a girlfriend. It will fail due to a 4 star wanted level. However, after the disastrous date, restaurants are unlocked.
Before you stop at the barber, Ryder's car is damage-proof, but if hit too much, it will release smoke at the engine, but the car does not sustain any body damage.
It is possible to prevent Pizza parlor to shoot a video of this can be seen here.
When you come out of Reece's shop, Ryder's car is locked.
Ryder never takes off his sunglasses but this is the only time he takes off his hat.
The cutscene where Ryder comment's on CJ's hair is normally not skippable. However, if you fail the mission and play it again, it becomes skippable.
With some care and skill, the shotgun toting employee can be killed. Doing this gives you a decent weapon that can make some earlier missions much easier.
