00:00All right, pizza review time.
00:21Maybe the most complicated pizza review ever.
00:25These are slices.
00:27And we got another potato one in there.
00:29This is spicy tomato.
00:31This is their classic.
00:34We're at St. Vito Focaccia area in Nashville.
00:39I'm in town for WITCON.
00:42Hopefully the game went over by the time you see this.
00:45It may be like the S.I.
00:47Cover Juice.
00:48Like it just may be.
00:49Yeah, like we're just not going to get a nice Conway ever.
00:54I don't even know how to eat it.
00:55They're like, do you want me to put it in plates?
00:58And I'm like, do whatever you want to do.
01:00Do you want me to hold them?
01:03No, no, I'm good.
01:04This is the potato one.
01:05This is the guy's restaurant.
01:06He wants me to try the potato, which is potato into cheese.
01:11I'll put them here.
01:12No one's coming.
01:14He opened this about a year and a half.
01:15He used to be fine down in Gulf Fight.
01:16How long have you guys been here for?
01:17We've been open a year and a half, but I started this as a pop-up out of my house.
01:18Oh, nice.
01:19In 2011.
01:20Got fired.
01:21I was supposed to cook it, and I got let go and ate Spiconi style pizza when I was a kid.
01:28And I was like, fuck it, let's do business.
01:33How's it been going?
01:35Pretty good.
01:36This is, how do you eat this, Austin?
01:39How do you eat it?
01:40This is on a focaccia.
01:43It's not overly super hot either, which is weird because it just came out.
01:47Go down to the counter.
01:49Just go.
01:51This is just go.
01:54It is hot.
02:03When in doubt, just go.
02:07I mean, thumb's getting burned in the focaccia hole.
02:20Is this pizza?
02:22He said right away, he's like, this will be a little different.
02:24It's all my face and my beard, all of it, I assume.
02:29This is a fork and knife.
02:30You shouldn't be eating it like how I'm eating it.
02:35It's very good.
02:3611 a.m. on a Saturday, tiny bit heavy.
02:44This has no other scale.
02:46You need a fork and knife to sit down.
02:48Glass of wine, super nice on the inside.
02:51It's good.
02:55I'd give it an 8.1, but this isn't like a pizza.
02:58I don't know if you can make...
03:01Can you make a scale that says, not really pizza?
03:04Because this isn't really pizza.
03:05You can't compare.
03:06This is just like, oh, this is good.
03:08I'll sit down, fork and knife, eat it, enjoy.
03:10Glass of wine, cheers.
03:11How you doing?
03:12Tell me how your day was, honey.
03:13But it's not like pizza.
03:14If you can't eat with your hand, I don't know if you can say it's really pizza.
03:18Here's the spicy.
03:21How the hell am I supposed to eat this thing?
03:27What a way to start.
03:36Nope.
03:38Spicier.
03:40Same score.
03:42And now...
03:45You really want me to try the potato.
03:48I'm like, dude, I just woke up.
03:50I don't want the potato.
03:52But he's like, please do the potato.
03:54Alright, potato.
03:56How do you eat this? Just go?
04:10And as always, when people force...
04:14the non-cheese down my throat,
04:16I prefer the others.
04:17This is good, but I don't...
04:18I mean, that is not pizza.
04:20And they're roasting the potatoes, doing this, and people come...
04:22Do I have it on me?
04:23I feel like it's on me.
04:26I'd recommend this place here in Nashville.
04:28Very different.
04:29I've had 9,000 pizza reviews.
04:30I've never had anything like this.
04:32People come and I'm all self-conscious with my face.
04:37Nice guys.
04:38Saint Vito Focaccia.
04:39They gave me all the plates.
04:40They didn't give me napkins.
04:41I can't even like offer them.
04:45Oh, my face.
04:48I got you.
04:49You guys weren't kidding.
04:50This is a sit-down fork and knife situation.
04:52Really good.
04:53Different.
04:54This is what a whole pie looks like here.
04:58Like all of them.
05:00So how much do you charge for a whole pie?
05:02Between $40 and $45.
05:04$40 and $45, that makes sense.
05:05It's huge.
05:06I don't even know why I put you guys...
05:07I don't know if you're going to say this is an insult...
05:09or compliment.
05:10I don't even know why I say it's pizza.
05:13It's a very specific style of Sicilian pie that comes out of Palermo.
05:17Palermo?
05:18Yeah, my family is Sicilian immigrants.
05:21I didn't realize I ate this style of pizza until I was reading a book.
05:25I really liked it.
05:28This is sit-down fork and knife.
05:30Ten napkins.
05:31But really good.
05:32Really artistic.
05:33I thought it was very good.
05:34It's totally different.
05:35I've never had really anything quite like it.
05:37That's what we tell everybody.
05:38Yeah.
05:39You're not lying.
05:40I just got upset about some of the dough making this morning.
05:43I'm like, the reason people come here is because you literally can't get this anywhere else.
05:47And we have to be on top of making our dough.
05:49This is my favorite.
05:51Dough, sauce, all of it.
05:53What a thing.
05:56Looks like an egg sandwich on pasta on fazool.
05:59Very nice.
06:00Nice to meet you.
06:01Nice to meet you.
06:02Very cool.
06:03See you.
