00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 Thank you.
00:13 All right, great.
00:14 Thank you.
00:14 Enjoy.
00:15 Nice to finally get here.
00:16 Thank you for coming.
00:17 And we appreciate that.
00:18 Of course.
00:18 Thanks for everything.
00:19 Have a good one.
00:20 Enjoy, guys.
00:20 All right, let's go out here, I guess.
00:22 So I don't--
00:22 Great.
00:23 Now we're just talking about this.
00:24 Can we leave this here for Brady?
00:26 Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:28 All right, here we go.
00:29 Pizza review time.
00:31 Ozzy's, a pizza.
00:33 Ooh, is that a mint pin?
00:35 Yeah.
00:35 Is that a mint pin on there?
00:36 That's my dog, Ozzy.
00:38 What kind?
00:38 What kind?
00:39 He's a chihuahua terrier mix.
00:41 Chihuahua terrier mix.
00:42 Looks like a mint pin.
00:43 Anyways, he's been trying to get me to come here for years.
00:45 He's from New Haven.
00:46 Where are you from?
00:47 I'm from New Haven.
00:48 I'm from East Haven.
00:48 Oh, you're actually from New Haven.
00:49 Yeah, I moved here like 10 years ago.
00:51 And you stand up, and I wasn't funny.
00:52 And then I started doing pizza, and then that was it.
00:54 So they do the New Haven style pizza.
00:57 It is-- you can't do the coal, because LA, which I guess
01:01 nothing surprised me in LA, that they'd be like,
01:02 you can't do that.
01:03 That's like a Gavin Newsom special.
01:05 So wood stone, I would--
01:07 all right.
01:08 Yeah, well, I can't get coal in LA.
01:10 Because it's kind of banned in some areas.
01:12 So then how can it be New Haven?
01:13 Well, you know some of the spots don't use coal.
01:15 Like what?
01:15 Zupartis, they use gas.
01:17 OK.
01:18 Yeah.
01:18 I do what I can, man.
01:19 Yeah, no, I'm--
01:21 Yeah, brick by brick.
01:22 Yeah.
01:22 He says that Zupartis does gas.
01:25 I didn't know that.
01:26 It is good, firm, well done.
01:28 So the reason he's trying to get me, A, New Haven,
01:31 B, New Haven is my favorite pizza in the world.
01:34 Sally's starting to open up everywhere.
01:36 You've got Pepe's, Zuparti, Modern, you name it.
01:41 I'm probably forgetting some.
01:42 So there's the undercarriage I like.
01:43 Still, you can tell I don't think it's--
01:45 like, you do need the coal for it
01:47 to be traditional New Haven.
01:49 So here we go.
01:50 We are at Ozzie's--
01:52 I don't even know where we are.
01:53 Burbank?
01:54 Lindale.
01:55 Lindale.
01:55 One bite, everybody knows the rules.
01:58 He can definitely hear the score, too,
01:59 so it's a little pressure.
02:00 OK.
02:18 I really like this pizza.
02:21 I don't know that I call it New Haven style.
02:23 This is like a really well-done pizza.
02:25 But if I didn't know his story in the back,
02:29 I wouldn't jump out to me.
02:30 Like, it's New Haven.
02:31 It's well-done charcoal, which I like.
02:33 Oh, sorry.
02:34 I love this style of pizza.
02:48 But again, if this was nothing, if it didn't say New Haven
02:52 on the box, I didn't know he was from New Haven,
02:53 I wouldn't say it.
02:54 But I'm still giving it an 8.1 because I
02:55 think it's a great pizza.
02:57 But it's a different style.
02:58 Yeah, it's great.
03:00 For LA, pretty much as good as you can get.
03:03 I'm trying to think of what I've loved in LA.
03:05 There's that Place Prime I thought was really good.
03:08 Detroit style.
03:10 This is great.
03:11 So 8.1, great score.
03:13 They didn't mess with it.
03:14 They didn't know it was me.
03:15 They hinted it was me.
03:16 I could eat this all day.
03:17 I mean, look at it.
03:18 It's right in the day board and wheelhouse
03:20 with the charcoal crust, crisp, all of it.
03:23 So great job.
03:24 Ozzy's, cool spot too.
03:26 The bar, the outdoor, the whole thing.
03:28 Glad we finally got here.
03:29 Ozzy's, I'll say that's in honor of Stella Bean,
03:32 king of the toys.
03:33 All right, that's a review.
03:35 Really good.
03:36 I wouldn't mess all these up.
03:37 I think it's different than New Haven.
03:39 Yeah, but good nonetheless.
03:41 I mean, it's right up my thumb.
03:42 It's inspired by all the people I grew up with.
03:42 Yeah, yeah.
03:43 No, really good.
03:44 I love it.
03:44 Appreciate it, man.
03:45 Thank you so much, brother.
03:46 You want to go see a tour of the betting hall and shit?
03:49 Yeah, come on.
03:49 Sweet.
03:51 Anyone that orders, tell them to wait.
03:53 You want to do a picture first?
03:54 Oh, yeah, let's all get a picture with Dave, guys.
03:58 Who's this guy?
03:59 He just came walking off the street.
04:00 Yeah, I just came walking off the street.
04:02 I just ordered pizza because I looked it up
04:03 and they said it was good pizza.
04:04 Your order's going to be late.
04:04 They're sorry you don't want it.
04:05 Oh, no, you're so good.
04:07 Yeah, I get it.
04:07 All right, check it out.
04:08 Just tell everyone we're going to wait for a little while.
04:10 I'll show you the betting hall.
04:12 It's pretty dope.
04:13 I have nothing to do with you.
04:13 It's just how it's to be, right?
04:15 What's that?
04:15 You don't have anything to do with betting hall.
04:17 No, no, this is my landlord.
04:19 We're business partners.
04:21 So this has been here like 80 years.
04:24 Then right here is the whole event space.
04:26 We're actually running a pro wrestling show here in February.
04:29 Yeah, so we're sponsoring pro wrestling here.
04:31 That's Gabo.
04:31 He runs the kitchen for the bar over here.
04:34 Yeah, they started doing off track betting like three years
04:37 ago.
04:38 And then where we are used to be their parking lot.
04:40 They built that during COVID.
04:42 So where were you before?
04:43 I was in their other bar called Underdogs.
04:46 And then that closed down, but they brought me here.
04:48 And this is the betting hall.
04:49 It's called the Derby Room.
04:51 Our boys are over there doing their thing.
04:53 This is my speed.
04:54 Yeah, basically.
04:55 I'd be here even if we didn't.
04:56 But you're not.
04:57 Yeah, it goes fucking crazy.
04:58 [INAUDIBLE]
05:01 [LAUGHTER]
05:02 Dude, everyone here's named C or something like that.
05:04 It's crazy.
05:05 I love it.
05:05 Yeah, we've been here like six months.
05:07 And I got to quit my job like three months ago.
05:10 I just literally started it from my apartment selling shit.
05:13 And then--
05:14 It's good stuff.
05:14 Hopefully this helps blow it up a little bit.
05:16 Dude, I appreciate you coming out so much.
05:18 I almost wore my Dragon Pizza's Christmas sweater.
05:20 Because I was like, you might be in town.
05:22 But I didn't want to jinx it or anything like that.
05:24 No, I'm glad I came.
05:25 It's really good.
05:26 Yeah.
05:26 Thank you guys so much for coming.
05:27 Appreciate it.
05:28 Nice meeting you.
05:28 Congrats.
05:29 Yeah, you guys have a great trip.
05:29 Thank you so much.
05:30 [INAUDIBLE]
05:32 It's Dave.
05:32 You know Dave, man.
05:33 What's going on?
05:33 How's it going?
05:34 Nice to meet you.
05:35 Nice to meet you.
05:36 Say hi.
