00:00All right, pizza view time.

00:22We're at Charlie's, right?

00:25Yeah.

00:26Charlie's Place.

00:27Is this your spot?

00:28Tonight I'm married.

00:29So let me ask you this.

00:30Sure.

00:31I see the sign.

00:32The original South Shore Bar Pie.

00:34That's correct.

00:35It's a big claim.

00:36Well, I'm going to tell you the story.

00:37That's what I wanted.

00:38And by the way.

00:39It looks great.

00:41This is actually the story.

00:42So my father, Nick Nicolau, partnered with Jimmy Jamoulis from the Cape Cod Cafe.

00:48Okay, yup.

00:49Back in the, when they got out of, it was in the 40s.

00:52They opened it up.

00:53Jimmy was always, Jimmy Jamoulis was outside, my father was the kitchen guy.

00:58Now in Brockton, there was one guy, Fedeftos was his name, a Greek guy, and these are all

01:05Greek people.

01:07So they, he kind of gave this basic recipe, which is, I can't give you the recipe, but

01:15you know it better than I do, federally, in the cheese.

01:19And what my father did is everybody tweaked it, is what I'm saying.

01:22So it's all the same pizza.

01:23It's like potato chips, but they're all different.

01:25So it's all a self-serve pizza, but everybody tweaked it differently, but this is how my

01:29father tweaked it.

01:31So this is why I call it the original, because it was actually, that's how he started it.

01:37And...

01:38All of the offshoots you're saying are from him?

01:40Correct.

01:41Correct.

01:42That's a huge claim.

01:43I don't...

01:44Well, I mean, that's a claim.

01:45A fact.

01:46Well, I guess it's a fact, because...

01:47Does anyone else bite you on it?

01:48Be like, no, no, no, it's us.

01:49Or do you guys have the undisputed...

01:54Social bar tavern...

01:56Well, let me say, undisputed for me.

01:58Fair enough.

02:00I've never seen anyone else claim it.

02:02I've been everywhere else.

02:03That's the first time I've seen someone say, we originated it.

02:06You see, again, we didn't originate it, meaning, you know, my father didn't come up with the

02:11pizza, but he got the recipe and he made this pizza out of the recipe, is what I'm saying.

02:17So did we...

02:18The original, in the sense that it was basically the first one in Brockton.

02:21They're all out of Brockton.

02:23And that was the first one in Brockton, which was the Cape Cod Cafe.

02:26I've had that one, yep.

02:27And that was my father.

02:29My father sold, like, in 69, my brother, Charlie, and him opened this up in 1973, 50 years ago.

02:38And we make these pizzas ever since.

02:40It's a great bar pie.

02:42This is a great bar pie.

02:44We've been doing a whole shoot-em today, and this is right top of the list.

02:48Beautiful, beautiful.

02:49I want it.

02:50You know, I don't follow a lot of things, but my nephew who's working here with me now,

03:00he's been dying to meet you.

03:01Is that the guy who somebody walked by?

03:03He's not here, right?

03:04He's not here.

03:05No, no.

03:06Yeah, someone said he's not here.

03:07You, you.

03:08You're like, he's going to be pissed.

03:09Oh, he's going to be beside himself.

03:12And of course, he wanted to make the pizza himself because he wanted to make the best

03:15pizza that he could.

03:16But, you know...

03:17Whoever made this made a good one.

03:20Yeah, this is very good.

03:21Excellent.

03:22So, there you go.

03:23There's Charlie's Place, The Unknown Story.

03:24Now, we're not saying the original, but the, what are we calling it?

03:28Well, I would say the, um, I'm sorry, the original from where it came from, but my father's

03:36version of the original pizza.

03:38How about that?

03:39Semantics.

03:40We'll accept it.

03:41It's very good.

03:42It was 7.9 on an excellent, excellent bar pie.

03:45Okay.

03:46What'd you give us?

03:477.9.

03:48Really?

03:49Okay.

03:50That's high.

03:51That's high.

03:52Yeah, I don't know.

03:54I have a tough scale.

03:55So, 7.9 is very good.

03:56Well, thank you.

03:57Yeah, yeah.

03:58And you're enjoying it.

03:59I'm still eating.

04:00That's a good thing.

04:01Yeah, no, it's great.

04:02Good.

04:03Bro, very nice to meet you.

04:04Well, nice to meet you.

04:05Congratulations on success.

04:06I'm glad we got here.

04:08Take care.

04:09Sorry I missed you.

04:10Who's he?

04:11Andrew.

04:12Your nephew?

04:13Yeah.

04:14Sorry I missed him.

04:15Tell him I said hello.

04:16By the way, what's number five that you guys hate so much?

04:17They're trying to…

04:18I saw it on the receipt.

04:19Yeah, in Massachusetts, they want to give everybody, all the waitresses minimum wage.

04:25Yeah.

04:26And none of the waitresses want that.

04:28None of the waitresses want that.

04:30They didn't decide.

04:31They're not behind it.

04:32There's another group that think they should make the minimum wage.

04:36And you do it because they get off on tips?

04:38Is that why?

04:39Yes, of course.

04:40Yeah.

04:41It will cut down on their tips.

04:42It will just change the dynamics of the business in that sense, I think.

04:46Yeah.

04:47All right.

04:48Okay, very good.

04:49Nice to meet you.
