00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:19 So what is this one called?
00:22 That's a Brooklyn Ralph.
00:23 Brooklyn Ralph.
00:24 Yeah, so--
00:24 That's just here in New York?
00:25 What is that?
00:26 Yeah, so we only came out with this like three months ago.
00:29 It's called the plain regular cheese pizza pie.
00:32 Which is what I generally like.
00:35 Well--
00:36 Well, yes.
00:37 Well--
00:38 You told me to try this one, I'll try this one.
00:40 All right.
00:41 All right.
00:41 We got to go away?
00:42 No, you-- whatever.
00:43 I know--
00:44 I'm going to go away.
00:44 I'm going to stand in a crowd.
00:46 Like, he's going to go away.
00:47 That's what I know.
00:48 If I tell him to go away, he's not going away.
00:50 He never does.
00:51 So, Coniglio--
00:51 Is this yours?
00:52 No.
00:53 That's yours?
00:54 Yeah, that's mine.
00:55 Yeah?
00:56 Yes.
00:58 All right, so Coniglio's finally getting a more sound.
01:02 Nino, how long have we known each other now?
01:05 Long time.
01:06 It's been--
01:07 2017.
01:08 Is it?
01:09 Now, yeah.
01:11 It was the same time we met.
01:13 Why don't you get in here?
01:14 No, I just-- well, I just answered the question.
01:16 So, 2017.
01:17 So, it's been a while.
01:18 It's been a while.
01:19 We even came close to opening up, telling the story.
01:21 We were almost doing a pizza place together.
01:23 I wanted a very basic bar pizza.
01:26 We were doing these tastings.
01:28 He wouldn't listen at all to what I wanted.
01:29 He's like, you're going to make it--
01:31 But then I decided to.
01:32 No.
01:32 At the end.
01:33 No, I'm not there.
01:34 No, he's like, I'm too-- you're not
01:35 going to have me make a basic pizza.
01:37 I waste my skills on this basic--
01:40 he wanted to do it.
01:41 We go back and forth.
01:41 I've known him forever.
01:42 Came to Pizza Fest.
01:44 And he's a legend in the pizza game.
01:45 Finally made it out here.
01:47 And the place is spectacular.
01:48 We have all the footage.
01:50 Wow.
01:51 What's up, bro?
01:52 What's going on?
01:53 All right, what do you want?
01:54 You want a little tour?
01:55 Let's do the tour.
01:56 You want a pizza?
01:56 No.
01:57 We already ordered the pizza.
01:58 Everything's at 211.
02:00 So we're doing multi-grain, olive.
02:03 I didn't know you had this much going on.
02:05 Bro, this is my dream.
02:06 Everybody thought I was out of my fucking mind.
02:08 Including-- I know you're out of your mind.
02:10 They're like, how do you do 10 decks?
02:13 Right?
02:14 How do you do?
02:15 And I'm like, I'm going to tell you how you do.
02:17 Like, come over to my place.
02:19 Let's show you.
02:19 And they're like, oh, oh, we can't spend this money
02:22 on blah, blah, blah.
02:23 And I'm like, listen, you want to grow?
02:26 You want consistent pizza at 7 o'clock on a Friday,
02:29 when it's packed, when your stones are cold?
02:31 This is how you do it.
02:33 All right, so these ovens are imported from Italy.
02:36 They're steam tube ovens.
02:37 They're mainly used in the bakery industry, right?
02:40 They replicate the exact thermal mass
02:43 and environment of a coal-fired oven.
02:45 OK?
02:46 That's why the bakery guys--
02:47 So can you do a New Haven style?
02:48 I could.
02:50 Why don't you?
02:51 That's pizza con.
02:53 Because I'm not an expert at New Haven.
02:55 And I'm not going to fucking pretend to be.
02:57 But one day, I don't know.
02:59 All right, fine with it.
03:00 You're saying--
03:00 Maybe with your connections, maybe I can do it.
03:03 Everything homemade.
03:05 You just got the new stove.
03:07 You just got this.
03:08 Here's what we do that's a little different.
03:11 Place is big.
03:12 Yeah, but I'm fucking hungry.
03:14 Humblee, Chum, Robey, the Flower, Wildy,
03:15 Starter Culture, Poolish.
03:17 This has been out since probably 8, 9 in the morning.
03:23 This will stay out for the rest of the night.
03:25 And then I'll get a two-day fridge.
03:27 How many hours you here a day?
03:28 1,000?
03:29 Yeah.
03:31 All natural, I love it.
03:32 Sourdough, this is one-off raisin.
03:34 This is locally milled, locally grown whole wheat.
03:39 There's a massage.
03:42 Same thing.
03:42 What time do you guys open?
03:44 7.
03:46 7 in the morning?
03:46 Yeah.
03:47 What time do you close?
03:49 We used to close at 3, 4 AM.
03:53 You were here at 8?
03:55 Yeah.
03:55 I was here with a fucking matrimonial,
03:57 but these fucking drunk kids fucking beat them fucking down.
04:01 They're fucking crazy.
04:02 All right.
04:03 All right.
04:04 All right.
04:04 Oh, wait, wait, wait.
04:05 Wait.
04:06 Got the dough wrong.
04:07 So this is brass die, Italian imported from Italy,
04:11 pasta extruded.
04:12 So starting on Monday, every one of our pastas
04:15 will be made fresh from Bucatini's spaghetti,
04:18 everything.
04:18 Right now, we use the Dechecco.
04:20 What's the full menu then, luckily?
04:22 Oh, it's fucking crazy.
04:23 Let me get the starter culture.
04:25 So most bread products, the way that they're made,
04:27 when they just roll like a pound of yeast,
04:29 it brings the glycemic index level up to like 20 points
04:32 higher than pure sugar.
04:33 That's why bread shit makes you fat.
04:35 Once you add starter culture, pre-ferments,
04:38 it brings it down with white flour, down to broccoli.
04:41 And then almost every pizza you've
04:43 ever had in your life that's New York style, or New Haven,
04:46 or anything, has chemicals that are illegal in China.
04:49 We don't fucking use any of that fucking bullshit.
04:52 So we serve a healthy product, a product
04:53 of my 15-month-old daughter, you know what I mean?
04:57 That you can eat, and you can lose weight.
05:00 All pizzas, chemicals are illegal in China.
05:03 Not all.
05:03 I said most New York style pizza, and New Haven style,
05:07 and this and that has it.
05:09 When do we get to eat the pizza?
05:11 I don't know.
05:12 One day.
05:13 [CHUCKLES]
05:14 Pretty much what I--
05:17 outside the place being way bigger.
05:20 Nino's being Nino.
05:22 Now he's forcing me.
05:23 Also, shout out, because I don't respect a ton of opinions
05:25 of the pizza game, but the Genovese guy from Jersey,
05:29 I do.
05:30 He's tried them all.
05:31 He just recently--
05:32 Petey Genovese.
05:32 Petey Genovese said this number one spot in New Jersey.
05:36 And he-- our lists are almost identical.
05:39 So it's a huge honor.
05:41 And I even said on the way over, I
05:42 go, I'm going to score this before I even eat it,
05:44 because there's no way I'm giving a below an eight.
05:47 And I don't-- so if I don't love it,
05:48 I don't even want this guy in my asshole
05:50 being like, you didn't give it.
05:52 So I'm going to go grab the baby.
05:53 [CHUCKLES]
05:54 Yeah.
05:54 He's sleeping.
05:55 Yeah, he's truly one of the most well-known pizza guys.
05:59 I'll say US world.
06:00 He's been doing this forever.
06:02 I don't know how you're--
06:03 he's opening at seven, fresh bread seven.
06:06 When you-- I was asking people--
06:08 Never.
06:08 Never.
06:09 Never.
06:09 We live here.
06:10 All right.
06:10 So--
06:11 [CHUCKLES]
06:11 We're actually living here.
06:13 Thank you.
06:13 Same.
06:14 So this is great.
06:18 It's not my--
06:19 I like that more than this, but you're
06:21 making me eat this style.
06:23 All right.
06:24 What are you going to do?
06:25 What do you mean you like this more than that, bro?
06:26 I like--
06:27 I like me.
06:27 I like that better.
06:27 Like, the bottom is has basil.
06:29 These other guys have basil.
06:30 Because as we used to fight about--
06:32 Yeah.
06:32 I don't love the super art.
06:34 I like basic.
06:35 I know.
06:36 I know.
06:36 You're right.
06:37 You know what--
06:37 Plain pizza.
06:38 I know.
06:38 --we argue about, I tell them that through Facebook.
06:41 Let me just do this, and the basil.
06:42 And it's like, well, I like it more.
06:43 Just go for the crust.
06:44 Take a bite of that one.
06:46 This is still great.
06:48 This is my favorite.
06:49 No, no, no.
06:49 Finish your review.
06:51 I'm trying the other.
06:52 All right.
06:54 Eat your bum off.
06:54 You're so precious.
06:55 All right.
06:55 Let me get out of this guy's way for a second.
06:57 Yes.
06:57 And I literally-- so we're doing 10 to 15 pizza reviews today.
07:02 10 minutes.
07:03 10 minutes.
07:04 10 minutes.
07:04 We allocate, hey, 10 minutes here, 20.
07:06 We had four hours and 30 minutes to allocate to Nino.
07:09 Because I know Nino, I know you go in there,
07:11 you're not getting out.
07:12 See, I prefer this one.
07:18 But they each their own.
07:20 It is a legitimate eight.
07:23 Although--
07:23 Yeah, look, look.
07:27 I got the Brooklyn salsa.
07:28 You got to clean your palate out, bro.
07:30 Why don't you throw a jacket on?
07:32 Brooklyn salsa.
07:32 I ain't trying to be cool with the jacket.
07:34 No, it's fucking chilly out here.
07:36 What are you talking about?
07:37 You got to--
07:38 He also, by the way, is making Coca-Colas with the syrup.
07:42 He's putting the syrup in the things that-- what do you think?
07:45 They had a gun all back in the 1920s?
07:47 What, 1920s coke?
07:48 What?
07:49 1920s coke?
07:51 Yeah, I was thinking 1920s coke.
07:53 Old-fashioned soda fountain.
07:56 You going to give me a clear coke?
07:59 Coke syrup.
07:59 That's how you're making cokes?
08:05 Yeah, bro.
08:06 What do you think, these always existed?
08:08 But they did before that.
08:11 I don't know why.
08:12 I don't know why I didn't give you that.
08:15 Five years took me to find these.
08:17 I just got them.
08:19 So we're in like back to the future.
08:20 You know what it tastes like?
08:25 2020 coke.
08:27 Nina, you want to get in this?
08:28 Yeah, coke don't change.
08:29 Don't fuck with coke.
08:31 What is this?
08:32 What did you give me?
08:33 Salsa.
08:34 Brooklyn salsa water for the Brooklyn salsa boys at Canarsie.
08:37 It's like 1880.
08:38 You had to cleanse the palate.
08:39 It's good.
08:40 Come on, you're fancy.
08:41 All right, very good.
08:46 I haven't scored this yet, right?
08:47 Did you interrupt me?
08:49 I'll go 8-3.
08:52 [CHEERING]
08:55 It's a great score.
08:56 More importantly, come check it.
08:58 He's got everything.
08:59 The full menu.
08:59 He's got chicken parm.
09:00 He's got everything on there.
09:01 Beautiful spot.
09:02 And truly one of the best people in the pizza game.
09:06 So if you haven't had a chance to try it, do it.
09:08 Nino, it's always a pleasure, my man.
09:12 Smoking.
09:13 [APPLAUSE]
09:15 Nail curts.
09:15 It's great.
09:19 I'm proud of you.
09:20 Everybody's Barstool fans out here,
09:21 they always say like, when's Dave coming?
09:24 When's Dave coming?
09:25 I'm like, I'm going to try to text him, but he doesn't like me.
09:29 He said he blocked my number or something.
09:30 I didn't block you.
09:32 I told him, my phone got hacked.
09:34 I have a new phone number.
09:35 It has it like two weeks ago.
09:36 He sent me--
09:37 I didn't reply after Pizza Fest.
09:39 He said, great job with Pizza Fest.
09:41 I didn't reply.
09:42 I'm sorry.
09:42 I should have replied after that.
09:43 I wasn't ignoring.
09:45 You want an espresso?
09:46 I want an espresso.
09:47 It's espresso with vanilla gelato.
09:50 You're being real fancy now.
09:52 Don't tell Valerie.
09:54 I forgot.
09:55 They don't want to make it, I think.
09:57 They don't?
09:58 I think so.
09:58 Just came out.
10:00 I just got the ice cream freezer.
10:01 Anybody want pizza, by the way?
10:03 I'm not eating at all.
10:04 Will you take a picture with the birthday girl?
10:06 Of course.
10:06 You might just have to sit.
10:09 Hi.
10:09 Thank you.
10:10 Of course.
10:11 Anybody need a picture?
10:12 He'll take a picture with you.
10:13 I'm sorry.
10:13 I'm a little out of it.
10:15 I'll see you in a second.
10:17 Look at Dave Portnoy over here in Morristown
10:19 taking pictures with people.
10:20 What a great guy.
10:22 Whoever said anything about Dave Portnoy,
10:26 they don't know Dave Portnoy.
10:27 Raising $100 million for small businesses and shit.
10:31 Man of the people, Dave Portnoy.
10:33 Thank you so much.
10:36 Every week, new items with this one.
10:38 Keeps me on my toes.
10:39 It's good.
10:40 But you're mixing it, so it's going to get cold fast.
10:43 That's the only thing, right?
10:44 That's right.
10:44 No, you got to take like a bite of the ice cream.
10:48 You eat it with a spoon.
10:50 I thought you went to Italy.
10:51 I did go to Italy.
10:52 I've never had like this.
10:55 It's cold.
10:56 Yeah, it's a fucking affogato.
10:58 I know.
10:58 I don't know what an affogato is.
10:59 When you said you want an affogato, I literally go,
11:01 I don't know what an affogato is.
11:03 OK, that's it.
11:03 You don't like it?
11:04 I'll get you another one.
11:04 No, it is good.
11:05 I'm just saying.
11:06 Oh, I don't know.
11:07 First ever affogato rating?
11:10 It's good.
11:10 It's just I was expecting a special rating.
11:12 He can't rate the affogato.
11:13 He's never had one.
11:14 Exactly.
11:14 It's the best he's ever had.
11:15 It's a big moment, then.
11:16 I know.
11:17 Hey, come here.
11:18 Get in a row.
11:18 Yeah, I got you.
11:19 All right.
11:20 All right, real quick.
11:22 Real quick.
11:22 I don't want to break Dave Portnoy's accounts
11:25 on too long.
11:27 Where are we going?
11:28 What are you doing?
11:29 Fucking clubhouse.
11:29 What is this?
11:36 Old world.
11:37 Knights of Columbus.
11:39 Why are we in here?
11:41 Showing you a fucking clubhouse, Dave Portnoy.
11:43 I kind of like you.
11:44 It's your clubhouse?
11:45 I mean, I'm on one of the boards.
11:47 This is where--
11:48 So what are you doing here?
11:49 Huh?
11:50 You don't even have a TV, though.
11:51 What do you mean we don't have a TV?
11:53 I don't have a fucking TV.
11:54 We don't have a TV.
11:56 You don't even have your own pizza.
11:58 Huh?
11:58 Yeah, throw that on the fucking garbage.
12:04 Throw it out.
12:04 Give me that shit.
12:06 Get the fuck out of here.
12:08 Fuck out of here with that nonsense.
12:09 We're going down here now?
12:09 Go down.
12:10 Go down.
12:11 What, are you scared?
12:12 I'm not--
12:12 I don't know what you're trying to show me.
12:15 This just looks like trash, Nino.
12:17 Real fucking alleyway, bro.
12:20 What are we doing?
12:21 Just showing you.
12:22 You want a shirt?
12:23 Yes.
12:24 Is this your spot, too?
12:25 No.
12:26 [INTERPOSING VOICES]
12:28 Yo, you run it.
12:29 Don't the reason you're so--
12:30 What do you think, I don't work all day?
12:32 I don't work all day.
12:33 You think I don't work all day?
12:34 I work all day.
12:35 [INTERPOSING VOICES]
12:37 [LAUGHS]
12:40 See?
12:40 See, I move quick, so you don't get bothered.
12:43 You know, we got places we got.
12:47 Got a fucking side alley, right?
12:49 Yeah.
12:49 You don't get a fucking mile.
12:51 All right, Nino.
12:52 It's good to see you.
12:53 Thank you so much for coming.
12:55 Yeah.
12:55 Hey, can you make sure I get on the One Bite app?
12:58 Yes.
12:59 You want to take any bread back with you, anything?
13:01 Sourdough?
13:02 I have to do 15 pizza reviews today.
13:05 So it's like--
13:07 Thank you so much for coming.
13:09 Congratulations.
13:09 Thank you.
13:10 This place is way better than I even dreamed.
13:11 So congrats.
13:12 Thank you.
13:12 It's so cool.
13:13 See you guys.
13:15 (whooshing)
13:17 (whooshing)
