00:03 All right, pizza review time.
00:21 Lamp Wood Oven Pizzeria, North Scottsdale, I believe.
00:25 We're warned.
00:26 People said, hey, you've got to try it.
00:28 Be prepared for a two-hour wait.
00:30 We got a two-hour wait.
00:31 We called in, sat literally in the parking lot
00:33 for an hour and a half waiting.
00:35 Didn't drop name, didn't do anything, just pure pizza game.
00:39 A place like this, you've got to give it a shot.
00:41 Now, it's wood fired, which to me generally
00:43 means we're going to have some flop on it.
00:46 See what we got.
00:47 All the chefs came up.
00:49 This guy's a mad scientist.
00:50 He can cook it.
00:51 But it does look wood fired to me, which isn't always
00:55 my favorite style.
00:56 Let's say wood fired is like a pretty close relative
00:59 to Neapolitan for me, meaning thin, flop.
01:02 This is what I'd expect it to look like.
01:04 Is that what-- and there's the flop.
01:06 Is that what the famous, famous Bianco?
01:11 I feel like that's kind of a similar vibe.
01:21 OK, really great Bianco vibes.
01:26 Like for me, people rant, raves, nines,
01:31 Bianco wins pizza of the year award.
01:34 I could see people saying the same about this.
01:36 For me, it's definitely not my favorite style
01:39 because I knew it wood fired.
01:41 You can't get real great crisp with wood fired.
01:43 Having said that, you can tell the oils, the sauces,
01:50 everything's super fresh, great.
01:52 I'm going to go--
01:52 it is really good.
01:59 Also surprising because wood fire is quick in the oven.
02:05 We've got some good pizza and squash up there.
02:10 [CRUNCHING]
02:14 Yeah, I'm taking this review seriously.
02:21 To our weight, I'm going to take it seriously.
02:23 7.6, which is actually a monster score for this size of pizza.
02:34 For this style, I mean, it probably is high you can get,
02:37 but the taste really is spectacular on it.
02:40 Again, if you can't hear the crunch in Guatemala,
02:44 you're not going to get that high seven, low eight range.
02:47 For me, it's just not.
02:48 So this is really, really good.
02:50 If this is your style, must try.
02:52 7.6, that's a review.
02:53 Lamp pizza, am I glad we waited two hours?
02:56 Yeah, I think it was worth it to try it.
02:58 It's worth the experience.
03:00 7.2, Lamp Pizza review.
