00:00All right, pizza review time.
00:22We are in Texas, Texas take on American classic, Fortunate Son.
00:26Here's what I did.
00:27We're in town for Red River Shootout, yeah I'm gonna call it Shootout, I'm not gonna
00:30go woke on people.
00:31I'm gonna do the State Fair Texas tomorrow, all fried food, I'm gonna do a bunch of reviews.
00:39But before I did that, I'm like, let me see, I landed the night before, any pizza, this
00:43place is the New Haven style of beefs.
00:46They have like a sign from Worcester Street to Main Street, had to give it a shot.
00:51Very confusing, very hard to order on the website, you gotta download an app, you gotta
00:55pay online.
00:56You gotta walk in and it's like, you can't, there's no one even working, can't find a
00:59place to get the pizza.
01:01Finally got it, and here we go.
01:03Well this is tomato style.
01:09I want to say this is New Haven, did you order the wrong kind?
01:24Well there's a mistake, right?
01:26This is good, this is not New Haven at all, this is like New Jersey, Trenton, it's a tomato
01:32pie, this is not New Haven style, it's good.
01:38This is not, is this, what is this?
01:42This isn't the New Haven one.
01:43That's the original, that's the tomato pie from New Haven.
01:44Tomato, do you have cheese?
01:45Yeah, that's the basic pizza that you're looking for, the basic pies, that's gonna be like
01:46the original from New Haven.
01:47Got it.
01:48That's gonna be the original from New Haven, just the pizza with the tomato.
01:56Got it.
01:57The basic, it's gonna be a basic cheese pizza.
01:58That you make here?
02:00Yeah.
02:01Got it.
02:02We gotta reorder.
02:03We gotta reorder.
02:04Yeah, we gotta taste the, can I order with you?
02:09Yeah.
02:10Just the basic cheese?
02:11Yeah.
02:12Okay, perfect.
02:13Thank you buddy.
02:16is good, it's the wrong pie. We'll wait. Now we wait. This is really good. It's
02:21just not New Haven style. I come from New Haven style of beets. This just isn't it.
02:26So we'll wait for the basic cheese. We're having communication issues. I think a
02:29northerner down south in Texas, just a lot of my talking isn't working right
02:34now, but we'll get the right one.
02:38Okay. So now we got the cheese version, which is what I would say is the more
02:55New Haven. So I like the tomato style a lot. I'm gonna say something that
03:01hopefully nobody takes offense to. I think it's reversed on the menu. I think
03:05this should be called the original and that should be a tomato pie. No
03:11original basic. Too confusing. We ended up with the wrong one. So here is, very good
03:16undercarriage, the beets New Haven style in the heart of Texas.
03:22As far as I know, is there any other place in Texas trying to do this?
03:26Maybe one down in Austin.
03:28I don't think I've seen the one in Austin. I've been there anyways.
03:31There's one bite every now and then, so we'll see what we got. Don't want to burn my face fresh out of the oven.
03:43This passes mustard. We had a couple New Haven guys in here earlier who grew up
03:49there and like we had to try it. You never know what you're gonna get.
03:56That's a great undercarriage.
04:02Yup.
04:08Passes the mustard. As a true beets, we'll let them keep it. I'm gonna go 8-1 on the score.
04:16Very, very good. This one may be a little over charcoal, which I never say, but
04:22this is great stuff. So this is my favorite style of pizza in the world.
04:26Everybody who follows me knows New Haven of beets. You see a beets, you're gonna try it.
04:31We've traveled the globe. Sometimes you get fake of beets. This is real. This, if
04:36you have it, you're gonna be like, yeah, I've had New Haven style pizza. So I'm bringing it.
04:43Fortunate Sun in Garland, Texas. You can find your own of beets and also, by the
04:49way, an awesome spot inside. Nice bar. Not a lot of waiters floating around. Other than that, a
04:54great spot. So congrats and hopefully if you want to taste what I think is the
04:58best pizza in the world and you're in Texas, come on down. Fortunate Sun. One
05:02bite, that's our view. And the tomato pie is really good too. Actually, that I would
05:06have given an 8-2. It just wasn't New Haven style. There you go. Congrats.
05:10Thank you very much. Yeah, good stuff.
