This is the kind of Pizza shop i wanna open, simple menu and keeping Quality over Quantity! Great idea....more power to your channel. Thanks for this video.
You know i have watched many of the pizza shop videos and i must say this has got to be the smartest owner. I am currently in the process of opening a pizza shop as i speak and i will take some of his advice this guy speaks facts i hope i can visit his shop one day to thank him for doing this interview
0:12 I was already in love with the place there's a Street Fighter 2 game cabinet in the corner. The pizza looks amazing to, take to the time machine, oh wait this is here now.
Pizza shops are easier on cleanliness for sure plus pests are not nearly as bad the dry flour etc helps…the biggest issue is knowing your food cost it’s low food cost biz for sure 50 cents a pizza can kill you with inflation like it is now whew
He's not wrong about staff. I'm a manager at my job, the more people you have, the more potentially bad employees you have to deal with. Productivity, attendance, attitudes, all that, the worst part for me. I hate that drama side. Having to have conversations about doing wtf your told. Stop standing around and talking on the phone, disappear for 30 minutes "I was in the bathroom", etc. If I opened a business, I'd do what he did. Just need 2 good people and that's it
You need to be able to pay those two good employees well enough to be there and do the work of multiple people though. Can’t ask them to do a hand full of task then pay them half of what they deserve. America has a real problem with that in today work force. This guy seems to have it down though kudos to him.
@@SAUCE206 And my job doesn't. I work for a large retailer. Got a store manager that goes after people for whatever reason. One of them was one of my employees. He's great, knows how to do everything. She decided she wanted him "out of the building" He's a friend, so I warned him. He's now transferring to another store. I'm down another employee. He'll be replaced with someone terrible, I'm sure, if at all. But the same amount of work will be expected. When it doesn't get done, because obviously, she'll come down on me. I'll be out the door shortly after
I work at a red Robin's who has about 30 kitchen staff snd only 5 of us work our butt's off and try to make the kitchen run as smoothly as possible, the rest of the people just hang out
I notice he’s letting the pizza steam off tilted on the box edge before cutting. I like that 😊 Although I always used the corrugated box liners for that very purpose it keeps the bottom crispy 😊 . I cooked south shore bar pizza for 18 years at some our oldest and famous joints .
@@krotchlickmeugh627 we ended up going to Sally's in Woburn, treehouse brewing in tewksbury, and then garlic breath... And all were fantastic! Garlic breath has a super cool retro vibe and fantastic pizza! There are only two tables, so you may want to call ahead if you're planning on dining in.
The owner is doing it right. Keep it simple and if someone wants something else, be nice and direct them to a place that has what they are looking for. If I were near this place, I would probably be a regular customer. Too bad I'm hundreds of miles away...
I thought this place was perfect, too... but I will say this... there is something special about ordering a small pizza to house all by yourself for lunch, and you know it JUST came out of the oven. You can't replicate that feeling with just "Well, a couple of slices is a small pizza." It's not fresh out of the oven, though. :/
That's the way to do it, a few high quality items. There is a pizza shop by me that has over 120 menu items, including quesadillas, pierogis and fish & chips. LOL
I always wondered if you can just throw in round pizza shaped dough in oven first,without any toppings,for five minutes.Then add toppings,and put back in oven,for extra crispy crust?? Love this video,cheers!!
Honestly the toppings and cheese handle the cooking for long periods rather than the dough. You can ask most places for a well-done pie and they'll come back extra crunchy. Of course protein %/water %/fermentation all play a role as well, but there's no changing that!
A year ago, I actually thought of doing something similar where I live in Warsaw, can get the idea of simplicity bringing quality as also keeps costs low. Instead I started a hot sauce business instead using a similar principle 😂 Looks solid there though!
I like the old school simple menu pizza shop but the only item i would add (even the old school do it too) is a calzone or rolls and it could be filled with whatever toppings go on the pizza plus mozzarella cheese. Nothing needed to be bought its all the ingredients that's already there.
@@MoonmanSpacejam It doesn't get simpler than that. You can also do garlic knots or garlic rolls with excess dough. Just add garlic to the dough and bake. Zero waste.
Wonder if he would make a calzone with just pepperoni and cheese with sauce on the side? A guy from Philadelphia opened a pizza shop locally several years ago. His calzone only had mozzarella and the toppings(fillings) you chose, usually pepperoni. That would be a simple item for him to add, especially for the lunch crowd.
I live in New York and I’ve been to Paulie Gee’s, Scarr’s, etc. That style combines several things I don’t like in a pizza. Overcooked, too thin, too chewy, too crispy. Hipster pizza. I don’t mind a little char, but it has to be soft inside. Also, the sausage has to have flavor and not placed on the pizza in large, lazy chunks.
It’s not thin and crispy, we like it still but it’s definitely hit or miss for the burnt under carriage. But calling this thin and crispy is absolutely insane.
My favorite pizza place near me has pizza (10 toppings) pierogi and potato pankcakes (only on Fridays for those though) A kitchen a fraction of the size of this one Cash ONLY Still my favorite since I was a kindergartener
ive been saying this long time... keep it simple, do it well... you will make people happy and keep coming back... the only reason that i would maybe say to be little more diverse, is have just a regular salad, and then another salad.. and dessert.. have one chocolate item, one non chocolate non caffiene , just as u have soda u have coke and sprite and possibly lemonade or tea or fruit punch/juice ... and its pizza so its kid friendly no need for chicken tenders or any other !
there's a pizza place i love and 80% of my orders are always just cheese. there's just something about just tasting the flavor of the sauce with the cheese and the dough. other times it's pepperoni or mushrooms. that's it. no frills.
That's how you do it. Do one (or two) things really well. Little Ceasars back in the day had it figured out. One or two pizzas and thats it. In and out the door. Now they try to be a full pizzeria menu and have tanked the business (again).

Been going there since they opened. Best pizza I've had in the greater Boston area.
0:12 I was already in love with the place there's a Street Fighter 2 game cabinet in the corner. The pizza looks amazing to, take to the time machine, oh wait this is here now.
Word seeing that cabinet brought me back to my childhood seeing these in the local pizza shops
Dhalsim was a cheat character for me
@@alexpereira6528 Ya you have to understand his weaknesses to beat him. He doesn't have many.
Place looks immaculately clean!! What a humble and genuine owner, ill b making the stop next week! Gr8 video SPM!!!

If ? You mean when ! 💪
Breath pizza? Sounds delicious. Is it made out of air? 😊
The execution of this pizza shop is absolutely stellar! Best looking pizza place I’ve ever seen. A dream shop
Very clean operation. Owners take note! Love the simplicity, love the vibe. Wish more places “focused” on delivering quality.
in the first minute when he puts the pizza leaning halfway in the air on the box --- tells you this place is a must-try asap if you live close. iykyk.
I’m assuming to air out the base and not get as soggy???
I prop up a grilled cheese the same way so it stays crispy.
I don’t know kick game!!!
It's not that good. Like eating cardboard and ingredients not good
Awesome shop! Will make the drive next week for sure.
Ok, first off there is a street fighter 2 cabinet, this is your first cue this dude is locked in. It's now 1992 and I am hyped.
Refreshing to see a new pizza shop the old school way..just pizza!
I just tried it the other day and it is really, really good!
That's how I imagine my pizza place. Even a bit more minimalistic 😂 for a one man show... Have fun, everybody!!!
Same
There's a video of a 1 man pizza shop. Hes on top his game being the chef and the customer service
im planning on moving from west to east coast hopefully soon and I am definitely planning on checking this place out.
Love this guys films. Training day one of my faves. His pizza looks ace too!
haha
Outrageously cool build-out, especially the design/decor. Justin is clearly a 'head. PROPS.
Simple and effective and it shows great shop and mentality and execution. Keep it Simon and it shows!
That pizza looks great! Just the way I make it for myself. Hope the word spreads!
Great business model, and very good looking pizza, I will come visit one day!
I'm near New Haven. But, at least once every other month I go to North Andover for work. I'll definitely be stopping in the next time.
Lol, I've literally driven right by this place 15 times in the last two years. The place I drive to for work is right behind there on Flagship Dr!
first glass door pizza oven I have seen, good idea
When the menu is simple, there's a likelihood the quality of ingredients and dough will be great!!
This was awesome. Looks like a great pizza place.
It was!
so glad dave gave this an 8.1, dude deserves it
This was great. My buddy and I are planning a visit soon.
This place is amazing, everyone there is super friendly too.
that kid in the back knocking out those hadouken
Cool video and the pizza looks absolutely amazing. I'll take one with everything on it.
Excellent

We'll be going here this weekend, as well as hitting up the new Sally's and a few other spots!
Can't wait!
How was it?

Absolutely fantastic! Get here ASAP as Dave portnoy just reviewed it and it's most likely going to blow up just like Joni's! @@krotchlickmeugh627
The old school esthetic is spot on.
I love the color of that pizza. Yum!!!
Great interview
cool video. 7 years in the pizza industry long ago; i still dream about it sometimes.
Love the content!
Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the tour of the perfect pizza shop!
When I open, I will hit ya up my pizza brother!
Thank you. Def let me know when you open
Saw this video months ago and thought that this guy rules!!!! Now the One Bite review!!!! Wish I could visit and try!!!
Bravo Justin from Morocco

Great stuff. My new place is simple 1 pizza, slices,knots and pep rolls
Thank you. Sounds like a great new shop.
@@Smartpizzamarketing hopefully. Opening in a few weeks. We shall find out lol
Would love to visit one day. I wish he did knots; the dough sounds perfect for knots.
Great episode, would love to try a slice.
That's the way to do it, a few high quality items. There is a pizza shop by me that has over 120 menu items, including quesadillas, pierogis and fish & chips. LOL
😧
One of the best!
Hmm, I don’t live too far from there. Need to try to get over there at some point
See this I want to do a pizzeria pub restruant and would love a set up half or quarter his size

The answer is yes!! Also depends on the type of dough you use and the type of pizza oven as well.

Looks solid there though!
Polish pizza sounds miserable
Wiele dobrych knajp na pizzę w Warszawie.
JP's pizza in Hawaii. Great kid with an interesting story.
Absolutely love this business model

Great video, it would be very helpful to invest in simple lapel microphones
@@ryanvanstone11 mic broke when we were on location. Next videos we got’em
Great episode. Learned a lot.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
I wonder what the power usage is on those electric ovens running all day.

I'm sure you can find that at other pizza shops. Keep it simple
@@MoonmanSpacejam It doesn't get simpler than that. You can also do garlic knots or garlic rolls with excess dough. Just add garlic to the dough and bake. Zero waste.
..I too thought of Calzones as a very good item to add early on. Looks as if Justins oven could handle, no sweat!
very few if any will say this, but...... LOOK AT THAT CLEAN ASS KITCHEN!!!! GOT DAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES CHEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go visit Espresso Pizza in Bay Ridge. Old school Brooklyn. No frills and hasn’t changed since the 70s.
Best of luck guy!!!!!
I’m a fan of any pizza joint that has any iteration of street fighter tucked in the corner ready to play.
nice street fighter 2 cabinet
GREAT!! Simple pizza shop. Nothing worse than being behind someone that wants a sub or salad and all you want is pie.
A great pizza is truly a beautiful thing! A love affair that will never dim! ❤❤❤❤
Dave needs to visit here
he did.
I’m def going have stop in get few pizzas 🍕 when I visit Boston
It's def worth a visit
I have always said, a good pizza doesn’t need many toppings if any at all. I usually get just get a plain, in my area that is sauce and cheese
Salad addition would be the only thing I would "add".
This guy is hilarious.. totally relate to the neuro divergence/ focused passion.
Pizza 🍕 looks good 😊
I don't know why every shop doesn't have those cuting boards. The slices are always uneven
Loving a video on successful entrepreneurs! jimmy
I love the old pizzeria retro vibe but it’s missing a retro white pizza box with a little pizza saver
The comment,”start small”… was shop square footage discussed? It looks sizable.
Under 1000 sq/feet
@@Smartpizzamarketing great to know as I was thinking I’d need to be looking in the 1250/1500 for a spot. Thanks for your help.
Beautiful pizzas. Grande Cheese is the best. No cheese melts like Grande!!!
i think about this all the time... do one thing really really great... people will come...
Garlic breath is a REAL pizza shop
Pizza is a art to me lol .. no 2 shops are the same always different styles and flavor (true passion and love ) (subbed)
Can't believe people go into a pizza place and not order pizza
Street Fighter 2 in the corner, Teenage Ninja Turtle style shirts, in just a couple options pizza joint. Damn I wish I lived nearby

Love it. Where's it at?
north andover ma right off 114 :) its about 40 minutes from my city ~twice as far as i typically go for pizza, might try it tomorrow.

You know it's legit when you got Street fighter 2 in the pizzeria
You should put the address of the places you review..unless I’m missing it
It’s not thin and crispy, we like it still but it’s definitely hit or miss for the burnt under carriage. But calling this thin and crispy is absolutely insane.
I wish pizza places would use the couragated box insert. They cant be that expensive, .ake a huge difference in keeping the texture on the bottom

Ethan Hawke is looking pretty good for his age. Happy to see he's given up on Hollywood and found his true passion.
😂😂😂
yeah , this is the kind of pizza place I would go to. KISS! Keep is Simple Stupid.
No jalapeños?! 😢
Pepperoni Jalapeño all day for me 👌🏼
Casually flexing having that crispy undercarriage when they pop it on the box edge.

Love the focus on quality and that pizza looks great
Once that pizza sits flat it starts to steam the crust. Steamed crust=floppy crust. I like it crispy.
