00:00 [Music]
00:14 Saki, I'm our worst.
00:17 I mean, how many days off?
00:20 How many days off?
00:21 This guy's making a sushi.
00:22 I'm shaking.
00:23 How many days a week is your best pizza guy worth?
00:25 Lunch is three, four days.
00:27 So you're 50/50 then?
00:29 I make pizza one shift per week.
00:33 So who else makes the pizza?
00:35 It's kind of like Greek pizza.
00:37 Oh, it's a bit.
00:38 Dude, that's why I'm telling you.
00:40 I'll make you another one, guy.
00:42 What do you mean make it?
00:43 It just came out.
00:44 You just said you're not a good pizza maker.
00:46 I'll do my best.
00:47 Who the hell is Austin?
00:49 I see Austin, I'm like, I thought it was our neighbor.
00:51 He's a camera guy.
00:52 What are you, come on, man.
00:54 That's how we call on everyone.
00:55 Let's let the beautiful family out.
00:57 Bye, bye.
00:59 Thanks, bye guys.
01:01 We're really setting the bar low here.
01:03 Dude, our pizza, you see we have Google, five stars.
01:07 I swear on my life.
01:09 Google on OneBite for high fours, best in the area.
01:13 But I'm no good.
01:15 Well, I don't want to be the guy who calls it out.
01:20 It's a family place, but high fours on the OneBite app
01:24 would be one of the worst pizzas ever.
01:26 I'm sorry, not high fours.
01:28 We're high.
01:29 I'm taking on a five.
01:31 I was going to be like, that's nothing to be bragging about.
01:34 All right, here we go.
01:35 You've heard this guy.
01:36 If I knew it was you, I would have gone a little less cheese.
01:38 A little less cheese than this.
01:40 But you were openly saying you only make pizza.
01:42 I think it's got a good little crisp.
01:44 You're talking to me like I almost, even if this is the greatest pizza,
01:47 I don't want to score good because you're saying you're not a good pizza guy.
01:49 Our pizza is phenomenal.
01:51 We have the best pizza in this area, like for sure.
01:54 I'm not the one shift that you make in.
01:56 No, I'm good.
01:57 I'm just saying you're not getting A, A+.
01:59 What am I getting?
02:00 I'm a B+.
02:01 I'm a good undercarriage.
02:02 For our store.
02:06 This is the firefighter brother.
02:08 Meet Dave.
02:09 This is Steve.
02:10 I was actually-- shout out-- what is it?
02:13 [INAUDIBLE]
02:14 Engine 33, they gave me this today.
02:16 Welcome by.
02:17 What?
02:19 I said thank you for coming to my restaurant.
02:21 Your brother is crying.
02:23 He's crying.
02:24 He's like, you came the one time I made pizza.
02:26 I never made a pizza.
02:27 [INAUDIBLE]
02:29 Yeah.
02:30 How do you think I'm--
02:31 I think this is good.
02:32 I almost drove the pizza shaking.
02:33 I think it's good, but the way you're talking about it,
02:35 I don't know how do I score it when you're like--
02:37 Forget what I said.
02:38 You know what I was trying to do.
02:40 Trying to cover my bases, guy.
02:44 I like it.
02:46 Didn't crisp me.
02:47 Yeah.
02:48 You sound like I took it out.
02:49 I said, no, no, no, this is DP.
02:50 I put it back in.
02:51 I know what you like, dude.
02:52 Again, you don't want to hear that.
02:53 You want this to be the normal pizza that everyone's getting.
02:56 You got to shut your brother off.
02:58 He's killing his own--
02:59 Ziggy's is where it's at, baby.
03:01 Ziggy's is where it's at.
03:02 Let's go.
03:03 Does that look like a normal pizza from here?
03:05 No, that is--
03:06 That's pretty-- yeah, yeah.
03:07 On average, you'll get that.
03:08 All right.
03:09 Yeah, enjoy it, man.
03:11 Anything else for our guys, Steve?
03:14 No, we love them.
03:16 No matter what, we love them.
03:17 Yeah.
03:18 We've been talking about this day--
03:19 I appreciate you.
03:20 I can tell you're very nervous.
03:21 I think this is good.
03:22 But you run up, you're like, you're going to hate it.
03:25 No, not you're going to hate it.
03:27 I'm saying I wish--
03:29 Air is very good.
03:30 I wish my guy Reno was spinning it when you came.
03:32 That's all.
03:33 Reno?
03:34 My boy Reno.
03:35 That's our number one guy.
03:36 That guy's talking to air.
03:37 [LAUGHTER]
03:39 I'll leave that one up to him.
03:40 Listen, I think it's good.
03:42 It's thin and crispy, which is exactly how I like it.
03:44 A little bit greasy.
03:46 That's what I would have said.
03:48 So we just got a random-- usually lunch, not too many pizzas.
03:52 We got a random rush, so I pulled my cook over to help me talk.
03:55 He put a little more cheese than I would have.
03:57 That's all I would say.
03:58 But I think--
03:59 I think it's good.
04:00 Obviously, the dough is the dough.
04:01 The ingredients are the ingredients.
04:02 I like it nice and crispy.
04:03 I always do it.
04:04 Like, this is our normal.
04:05 That's not well done.
04:06 That's our regular.
04:07 I think it's good.
04:08 We like it nice and crispy.
04:09 So I'll walk away.
04:10 I don't want to fall--
04:11 Well, you already--
04:12 I'll stay right here, though.
04:13 You finagle my brain.
04:14 I already think this is a good pizza.
04:16 I'm clearly very nervous.
04:17 It's up my style.
04:18 He nailed it.
04:19 Get Harry in it.
04:20 This is my nephew, Harry.
04:21 Hey, what's up, Harry?
04:22 Hi, I follow the bar stool.
04:23 I follow--
04:24 My dad is Harry.
04:25 I'm Harry.
04:26 This is Harry.
04:27 You've actually met our father, but we'll get into that after.
04:28 OK.
04:29 But this is a family thing.
04:30 All right, Harry's across the board.
04:31 I think it's a good pizza.
04:32 I'm going to go--
04:33 I don't want this guy to be upset.
04:34 I'm going to be upset.
04:35 The only thing I would change is what he said.
04:37 Maybe the extra cheese caused a little bit of the grease.
04:39 Our normal is a little less cheese than that.
04:41 OK, so I think it's very--
04:42 A touch less grease.
04:43 Look at the--
04:44 Look at-- I mean, it's crispy, which I love, and good on the character.
04:46 Dude, our pizza's--
04:48 I'll let you do it.
04:49 You're the expert.
04:50 No, 7.6.
04:56 I think it's really good.
04:57 We'll take it.
04:58 Yeah.
04:59 We'll take it.
05:00 I think it's really good.
05:01 I appreciate it.
05:02 Like I would highly recommend it.
05:03 7.6.
05:04 You said you'd like me either way.
05:06 I don't know if you're happy or mad.
05:07 He's silent.
05:08 The first time, he's--
05:09 It's a fair score.
05:11 It's 7.6.
05:13 Oh, he's not happy.
05:16 He's bigger than me, too.
05:17 It's a fair--
05:18 You walked a mile from the other end of the street to get a parking spot just to get a slice.
05:22 See?
05:23 All right, see?
05:24 Yeah, all right.
05:25 I don't believe it.
05:26 I don't believe it.
05:27 It is.
05:28 Where'd you walk from?
05:29 A mile.
05:30 Well, I had a part way to hell down in-- I think I'm in Boston somewhere.
05:32 In Bellary.
05:33 All right, yeah.
05:34 This guy's singing the tune.
05:35 Thank you.
05:36 Listen, it's a good review.
05:37 It's very good.
05:38 I'd re-eat it.
05:39 So I'm happy we tried it.
05:40 I appreciate it.
05:41 I appreciate it.
05:42 Harry.
05:43 Hey, what's up?
05:44 Gail, Gia, my nieces.
05:45 Nice to meet you guys.
05:46 Yeah, all right.
05:47 Thank you, bro.
05:48 We appreciate it.
05:49 Yeah, of course.
05:50 This guy will sing our phrase.
05:51 He brings his own box.
05:52 [laughter]
05:53 That's how much he loves it.
05:54 That means he doesn't-- I only want one slice.
05:56 He doesn't like to give out a box-- well, he'll give me a box, but I don't like to use a box.
06:00 He doesn't like to waste a box.
06:01 So you bring your own box every time?
06:02 He brings it back every time.
06:03 I never have a box of where it is.
06:05 John's here every other day.
06:07 That is an amazing--
06:08 He doesn't move.
06:09 He doesn't--
06:10 It's like your shopping bag at Whole Foods, bringing your own box.
06:12 Absolutely true.
06:13 Save the environment.
06:14 I did this with his dad 30 years ago, too.
06:17 Yeah, I didn't give you that back story.
06:18 Brought your own box?
06:19 No, I don't know that I ever brought my own box of dad.
06:21 He was freer with the boxes.
06:22 I didn't give you that back story.
06:24 So you won't give-- so he brings his own box.
06:27 Yeah, well, he doesn't want to waste a box.
06:29 And you won't give one?
06:30 Of course I will.
06:31 [laughter]
06:32 What are you, kidding me?
06:33 He said, no, if he asks for a box, I'll give him $100.
06:36 Yeah.
06:37 He's my buddy, Petty Boy.
06:39 It's a great move.
06:40 It's unbelievable.
06:41 Yeah.
06:42 I like it.
06:43 I'm taking pics as we go.
06:44 What a move.
06:45 That actually may be the most re-endorsed moment I've ever seen.
06:48 A guy brings his own box.
06:49 Can I get one with you, David?
06:52 It was good.
06:53 It was really good.
06:54 I appreciate it.
06:55 That's a good score.
06:56 I legitimately--
06:57 When you look at the camera, you want what?
06:58 I want it off.
06:59 I want one-on-one.
07:00 What?
07:01 No, if our best guy was in here, it'd be a touchback.
07:05 You said that?
07:06 That's clear.
07:07 But still, I thought it was really good.
07:08 It did.
07:09 Cool.
07:10 Nice meeting you.
07:11 Nice meeting you guys.
07:12 Can we get one more pic?
07:13 Yeah.
07:14 We're going to pick a more back story.
07:15 So our family's been here since 1980.
07:17 Yeah.
07:18 Moved over from Greece.
07:19 Sorry, 1970.
07:21 1980, my grandfather bought this building.
07:24 Greece.
07:25 From Greece.
07:26 I did say Greece.
07:27 No, but we do Italian.
07:28 We hand-fredged it.
07:29 No, I know.
07:30 It just had the cheese look.
07:31 We're Greeks doing Italian style.
07:32 Better than the Italians.
07:33 So when I was like, it looks like Greek pizza, maybe there's a little something.
07:35 That's because my guy over at Cheez Little, he's from Peru, so that's nothing to do with
07:41 Greece.
07:42 But my father, 1980 to 2000, he had a pizza shop here in this corner.
07:46 It was the staple of this area, Oaks Square Pizza.
07:49 His name's Harry also.
07:50 Yeah, I ate at Oaks Square.
07:51 Everyone loved him.
07:52 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:53 And then for about 20 years, a few different places tried to rent it out.
07:57 Nothing stuck, and then the pandemic hit.
08:00 My job went away.
08:01 This spot opened back up.
08:03 My brother's the firefighter.
08:04 He's always had a dream to kind of get it going again.
08:08 So we did it, and it's been killer.
08:10 Love it.
08:11 I love the story.
08:12 I know you gotta go.
08:13 Yeah, no, I love the story.
08:14 It's always good to hear that.
08:15 And I'm Barstool from, I'm talking, I'm almost 40.
08:18 I am.
08:19 Yeah, so since day one.
08:21 I appreciate it.
08:22 So this is an honor to meet you.
08:23 I appreciate it.
08:24 Thank you for coming out.
08:25 It's very awesome.
08:26 Thank you for coming out.
08:27 See you guys.
08:28 Nice to meet you.
08:28 (whooshing)
08:30 (whooshing)
