[MUSIC PLAYING]
00:14
All right, Pizza of Your Time.
00:15
We're at Russo's in New Hope, New Jersey.
00:18
The town's fucking beautiful, Austin.
00:20
It's like every little kid is coming down Main Street.
00:23
They've got the stores.
00:24
Feels like Thanksgiving.
00:26
They've got a bunch of Italian flags that all want-- Irish.
00:31
But yeah, just very picturesque, very New England-y,
00:34
even though we're in Jersey.
00:36
Cool vibes.
00:37
The guy in there, he's calling me cuz.
00:39
He's like, how's life out there?
00:41
Like, you're just doing it out there, huh?
00:42
I'm like, what do you mean, just everywhere?
00:44
He's like, yeah, how is it out there?
00:46
That's what he asked.
00:47
How is it out there?
00:48
It's like, just everywhere?
00:52
It's great.
00:52
They did really good for us, man.
00:54
That was really--
00:55
So now we need it, cuz.
00:57
He doesn't mean out there like life.
00:59
Yeah.
01:00
Yeah.
01:00
Yeah.
01:01
Yeah, it's good.
01:02
I mean, you brought notoriety back to small business,
01:05
mom and pop.
01:05
I appreciate that.
01:06
He's super nice.
01:07
Guys like, come, I'll make you dinner off menu.
01:09
The pizza, he's giving the story.
01:11
It's fucking huge.
01:13
You can't even get through the door with it.
01:14
$30.
01:15
He's like, you know, McDonald's.
01:16
He's right.
01:17
They've raised the price because Gavin Newsom,
01:18
who's a piece of garbage, hates small business.
01:22
But fast food, $60.
01:24
Because they raise minimum wage.
01:26
Good, but then the McDonald's jacked it.
01:28
I'm ranting.
01:29
Point is, like, you come here, $40, $50,
01:32
feed the whole family, no problem.
01:34
He gave me cannoli, meatball.
01:35
What's up with the size of these things?
01:37
It's family.
01:38
OK.
01:38
You know, like, the big bowl of pasta.
01:41
When you go out to eat with two or three kids,
01:44
you go to McDonald's now, it's $60.
01:45
Yeah, right.
01:46
So you come here, you get a $30 pie.
01:49
You leave $5 for a tip, have some sodas.
01:51
Have some $40, $50.
01:52
Give the whole--
01:53
Take the kids out.
01:54
Love it.
01:55
Cuz.
01:56
I started calling him Cuz Austin by the end.
01:58
I don't know if you caught that.
02:00
I shot his like--
02:01
he's like, here you go.
02:02
I was like, thanks, Cuz.
02:03
Nice meeting you.
02:04
Thanks.
02:04
Thanks, man.
02:05
Super nice guy.
02:06
And he's a stoolie.
02:07
Watches "Rub 'n' Rowdy."
02:08
He's like, I bet with you.
02:10
Super nice guy.
02:11
This pizza's gigantic.
02:13
He said he's from Robbinsville area.
02:15
Tomato pie.
02:16
He does a little less starch.
02:17
You grew up in Trenton, Bristol.
02:20
So I know you went out to Robbinsville.
02:22
Yeah, yeah.
02:22
That's a tomato pie land.
02:24
But my problem with them always was it was a little too
02:27
starchy sometimes.
02:28
So we all have the same ingredient.
02:32
I just put back a little bit of mine.
02:34
OK.
02:34
The one thing about doing pizza this big
02:37
is how do you keep that crunch on that big of a slice?
02:41
One bite, everybody knows the rules.
02:42
It was in the box.
02:43
My shirt, he gave it.
02:44
That's dripping in.
02:45
[CRUNCHING]
02:51
Yeah.
02:52
Listen.
02:53
[CRUNCHING]
02:55
I do like it.
02:56
[CRUNCHING]
02:59
But my only thing would be I do think
03:09
if you went a little smaller, you'd
03:11
have a tighter, crispier pizza.
03:13
It's really hard with this mega pizza
03:16
to keep it from doing that flock.
03:18
But it's good.
03:19
The sauce is good.
03:20
The bread is good.
03:22
Crust is good.
03:23
The town is phenomenal.
03:26
I'm going to go New Hope.
03:27
Of course it's called New Hope.
03:30
75?
03:32
Again, I think you just got to--
03:35
it's so hard to do a slice this big that keeps the crunch.
03:39
Now let's do all the other assorted things.
03:42
[CRUNCHING]
03:44
He didn't even say this was for--
03:47
I don't even really love cannolis,
03:48
but cuz made me do it.
03:52
Oh.
03:52
Oh.
03:58
Forgot the whole thing.
03:59
I bought a t-shirt.
04:01
This was the slogan.
04:02
Hi.
04:06
Hi there.
04:07
You ever seen--
04:08
Hey, what you're done?
04:09
Can I just get a picture?
04:10
Yeah, of course.
04:10
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:11
Thanks, Custody.
04:12
Thanks, Custody.
04:15
Russo.
04:17
Michael Jordan of pizza.
04:19
That's a 10.9 t-shirt.
04:22
That's a review.
04:23
I'm going to lie if he has a score.
04:27
How was it?
04:28
Very good.
04:29
Thanks, David.
04:30
Yep.
04:31
[INAUDIBLE]
04:31
That's my wife, Jennifer, our son,
04:33
who graduated college.
04:35
I'm Steve.
04:35
Hi, I'm Russo.
04:36
OK.
04:37
How long have you guys had this?
04:39
We're here four years at this one.
04:40
He opened this one in 2019.
04:42
You guys are like the nicest people in the world.
04:44
Very nice people.
04:47
She's a nurse, and she stopped nursing 20 years ago.
04:50
A nurse.
04:50
I don't know who's yet the nicest people.
04:52
She's all right.
04:53
That's my sweetheart.
04:54
We've been married 25 years, David.
04:55
You're a good couple.
04:56
I love it.
04:56
Congratulations.
04:57
Thank you.
04:57
It's our sixth restaurant.
04:59
Oh, wow.
05:00
We had full scale.
05:01
We were in Seattle for 10 years.
05:04
My brother was a fighter.
05:05
He was a fighter, but he didn't have no money.
05:07
And he was selling cheese steaks in between.
05:10
We were here.
05:10
We had a kid on the way.
05:12
And we were going to go to Wildwood and open up a spot.
05:14
And he heard.
05:15
My mom told him.
05:16
And he said, just come in here and get your shot.
05:18
So we took a look.
05:20
But it's Seattle, brother.
05:22
When you're from Philly and you go to Seattle,
05:24
it's like fucking--
05:25
You call people cuz they don't know what you're doing.
05:27
They don't know what you're saying.
05:28
They think you're a blutz.
05:29
Yeah.
05:30
No, I'm not kidding.
05:31
I used the word.
05:32
I said, cuz, what's up?
05:33
He goes, what do you mean by that?
05:35
My brother had the gun.
05:35
No, no, no.
05:36
You know.
05:36
You gotta watch.
05:38
There are gangbangers out here.
05:39
Cuz means one of the signs.
05:41
Oh, you meant--
05:42
I thought you meant--
05:43
I went like, yo, cuz.
05:44
I thought you, when you said, what,
05:45
I thought you meant like they thought of you as--
05:46
Yeah, the Bloods and Crips.
05:47
We had a cheese steak joint.
05:48
I thought you meant cuz and like related.
05:50
Right.
05:50
That's what we said.
05:51
I know what you mean.
05:52
But I thought they're like, wait, I'm not related to you.
05:54
I thought they were taking it literally.
05:55
No.
05:56
You said cuz.
05:57
I wish you would have taken it that way instead of like,
05:59
I'm going to get shot out front now.
06:01
You know, we had a cheese steak joint.
06:03
And then it morphed into the Pines.
06:05
Yeah.
06:05
We grew up, you know, doing pies and--
06:09
Great.
06:09
I love it.
06:10
And gambling.
06:10
Yeah, well, you're a man after my own heart.
06:13
Good to meet you guys.
06:14
Congratulations.
06:14
David, it was really cool meeting you, man.
06:16
See you.
06:17
Bye.
06:17
Nice meeting you guys.
06:19
Yeah, I will.
06:21
All right.
06:24
All right.
06:25
That's like, every once in a while,
06:28
doing these, like the Uncle Jerry's, you just run into people
06:30
who are like too nice for Earth.
06:32
Those people are so nice.
06:34
You said it when you called.
06:35
They're like, oh, he was just a happy guy
06:37
when he plays the Orc.
06:38
They're just happy fucking people.
06:40
And actually give you faith in humanity.
