00:00All right, pizza review time, we're at Avoli Pizzeria and Bistro, 5 Atlantic Street, Hackensack,
00:17New Jersey.
00:18Just landed in town, big day tomorrow, a little surprise before we get into the Hezzy.
00:23Hezzy, Roebuck, 20% off, use code pizza, right?
00:29Yeah, there you go, this thing's beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
00:32Spring in the air, 60 degrees, makes me kind of miss being back east when you get a weather
00:38like this, not that loud in the sky, not that I'm complaining about 80 and sunny every day,
00:43but I like the seasons.
00:44Here we go, One Bite Evernose Rules, that looks really good from Avoli, actually looks
00:49better than what I thought they had in the glass.
00:54One Bite Evernose, super nice people in there, by the way.
00:57Anytime you start saying you love Miss Peaches and Pete, like, you're tugging on this old
01:02boy's heart strings.
01:03I watch you every day and every night, you are my favorite, you are my favorite, and
01:04I go to all the places you say to go.
01:05Yeah.
01:06Watch you every day, and Miss Peaches every day, too.
01:07Yes, she's the best.
01:08A lot of it, Harvey Peet, the best.
01:09How's the puppy doing?
01:10Great, great, they're doing great.
01:11Every pretty day, but if it's not pizza, always Miss Peaches, and I'm like, this is
01:12really nice.
01:13I appreciate it.
01:14So, One Bite Evernose Rules, looks really good, I can't rip it, I'm having rip problems.
01:33Almost lost three slices there, because I had rip problems.
01:37One Bite Evernose, good under carrots, a little on the breaded side there, hot, don't want
01:42to burn the mouth.
01:44And by the way, I did miss two pizza reviews, Thursday, Friday, for the fans.
01:48I've decided every once in a while, after 10 years, I'm not going to fly just to get
01:54like a pizza review.
01:55If I miss one day, you guys are just going to have to live with it, because I don't have
02:00local places I can do, and I'm not going to fly to do one pizza review, it's not cost
02:04efficient in this economy.
02:05I mean, look at the stock market, it's getting murdered.
02:09One Bite Evernose Rules, avoid.
02:18Good.
02:25Real good.
02:28They said they've been here for five years, I don't know how I've never tried this place.
02:31I'm going to go...
02:39Well, I've got an espresso around the corner, that's what the real deal is.
02:47An espresso?
02:48Yeah.
02:49Just like the coffee?
02:50Coffee break around the corner, the best.
02:51Okay.
02:52Real stuff.
02:53What does that mean?
02:54It's not the fake stuff you get at Starbucks or any of these, you know.
02:57Is it your spot?
02:58They're there all the time.
03:00Okay.
03:01Ask Mr. Dom.
03:02Who?
03:03Mr. Dom, the man that got it.
03:04Mr. Dom.
03:06I'll get an espresso, wake me up.
03:107-7.
03:177-7.
03:21Good, good, good, solid.
03:23This could have been 7-8, good, really good, a bowl of pizza 7-7.
03:27Let's go get an espresso, the real stuff, not the Starbucks stuff.
03:30Just now?
03:31No, he's in the kitchen, my father.
03:33Yeah, just right around the corner.
03:34I was doing a pizza review, he's like, you got to try the espresso here.
03:37He's like, yeah, definitely, best in the city.
03:39That's what I was told.
03:42We get our espressos from Italy, my dad was born in Italy.
03:46Actually, you met my uncle.
03:48My uncle was the pizza guy at Nana's in Florham Park.
03:52Okay.
03:53Crazy dude, par-baked, half-baked, that guy, you remember?
03:56So this is better than that, but this is a lot crispier, that one.
03:59It's a different kind of crust.
04:01And that one was sitting around.
04:02You've heard of half-baked?
04:03No.
04:04You've heard of wake-and-bake?
04:05No, this is par-baked.
04:07All right?
04:08All kinds of baked.
04:09Remember the big truck outside?
04:11Is this the mafioso place?
04:15If I tell you that, I'm going to have to kill you.
04:17Yeah.
04:18This guy.
04:19My man.
04:20Free espresso from now on every day.
04:22That's the guy.
04:23That's one of my good customers.
04:26He loves the espresso here.
04:27He comes here for the espresso.
04:28Just straight?
04:29Yeah.
04:30All right, all right, I'm asking.
04:32All right, we'll do a bonus espresso review, because that guy told us to come and ask for
04:37a big...
04:38That's Dom.
04:39That's Dom, yeah.
04:40That's the boss.
04:41That's little Dom.
04:42The guy.
04:43Yeah, all right.
04:44Espresso, I don't know if I'll tell the difference that much.
04:45I don't drink espresso that much.
04:47Here we go, bonus coffee break.
04:49Do you guys have pizza?
04:50It looked like there's pizza on the side.
04:52We used to do a thing called pizza.
04:54It just wasn't really taken off in this area.
04:56I don't know why, but it was...
04:58We used a par-baked bread.
05:01Yeah.
05:02It was imported from Rome.
05:03It was outstanding, really good.
05:05It was really good.
05:07Again, I don't know if I know the difference between...
05:10Espresso, I don't have it too much.
05:12I just drink coffee straight.
05:16Is that guy watching me with his eagle eyes?
05:18I want to make sure.
05:19I want to get you in and out of your show.
05:21Yeah, I don't know.
05:23I'll give it a 9.1 espresso, but I don't know any better.
05:26I don't know no better.
05:29Pinky's out.
05:31It's really good.
05:32My dad was born in Italy.
05:34Nice to meet you.
05:35This is Dom.
05:36Hi, Dom.
05:37He does all the pizzas.
05:38Yeah, you follow him too, right?
05:39Yeah.
05:40So, where he was born is a small town near Salerno,
05:44or in Salerno, near Napoli.
05:47And the guy that we get the coffee from
05:49is actually from a town that's a half hour away
05:51from where my dad was born.
05:52So, as soon as he said,
05:53it's from my town to Giano,
05:55my dad's like, okay, we've got to use this coffee
05:57because we want to keep stuff local,
05:59like from our area, from where we're from in Italy.
06:02Not local.
06:04Theoretically, since we're in Hackensack,
06:07and that's in Italy.
06:09Well, to us, like to him.
06:11Yeah, to your hometown.
06:12Or close to it, yeah.
06:14Because I know the area very well.
06:16The town is located in the hills, beautiful.
06:20The air is good, and so the coffee's going to be good.
06:23The wood that they use is a different type of wood.
06:27Specifically Puda.
06:29How long have you guys had this place for?
06:31Seven.
06:32Seven years?
06:33Almost eight years.
06:34I love it.
06:35Very cool, I'm glad he made us come.
06:37It's good stuff.
06:38I appreciate you guys coming in.
06:39Can I pay for it?
06:40No, absolutely not.
06:42Good luck, that was great.
06:44Do you have normal coffee?
06:45Yeah, a cup of normal coffee.
06:46Can I get a cup of normal coffee, too?
06:48Do you want milk, cream, sugar?
06:50Is this just normal coffee?
06:52This isn't my Italian?
06:54No, it's American coffee.
06:58See you guys later.
06:59Thank you for coming.
07:00Hey, awesome, man, nice to meet you.
07:01Thank you, guys.
07:04I'll say two more.
07:05One, two, three.
07:07Cheese.
07:08No, coffee.
07:09Coffee.
07:10Pizza.
