Police are searching for two masked men who robbed a pizza restaurant at gunpoint in Mesa on Sunday night, authorities said.

According to an incident report from the Mesa Police Department, a store employee was locking up Amazing Jakes on East Baseline Road when she was confronted by two men wearing clear Halloween masks.

One man pointed a semi-automatic handgun at the employee, and they forced her to empty the cash registers and the safe, police said.

When she was done, they told the employee to stand in a corner of the store while they left through an employee door, police said.

The store's rear employee door was unlocked, though police said they don't know if the men entered through that door or if they hid in the store.

Officers described the first robber as a Hispanic man in his late teens or early 20s standing 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants.

The second robber was a Hispanic man standing 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds. He was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans, police said.
