My dad was one of the hard working Viets that made pizza at Massimo. He would drive the owner to and from work, go buy his espresso, drive him to his doctors appointments and basically everything that had nothing to do with his actual work. Then when my dad passed the guy didn’t even bother to show up to the funeral. The whole family at Massimos were total jerks. Fresca on the other hand is a great place and I’m glad they took over. Great margarita slices!
Thats tough. but at the same time. its easy to shit one someone. Like he wasnt a slave right? he did get paid and stuff. Like driving him around. he could say no. ill pass. i am a pizza maker. this isnt my job. Not really fair to accept it, get paid.. and then complain afterwards. either agree the terms, or dont. But anyway what i do i know. maybe he was an ass etc. and i like the story about them opening up their own place and it being more succesful. cant hate on that
lol fuckin hell that story sure took a left turn
@@D0nKeY gotta put yourself in a immigrant shoes it wasn’t easy to find a job back then especially if you were from another country dude was mistreated plain and simple it’s not soft like today they could literally fire you for nothing and wouldn’t even think about it
@@D0nKeY I don’t think he is complaining. If your employee goes out of his way for you like that the least you could do is pay your respects by showing up at his funeral
@@MRdbrown98 fire me for nothing I sue you for discrimination and unpaid wages 😤
I love how the slogan of pizza gigi's changes more and more as dave says it
Like a fish story.
He's a killer!
I’ve tried them all, from Stalingrad to the Democratic republic of the Congo, there’s nothing more super then Pizza Gigi
@@jaredpajama8821 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
50 slogans, everybody knows the rules
Everybody knows The Greek told Dave what to do, and he didn’t disappoint. Someone give the Greek a medal.
I'd rather give him a restraining order

"DAVE'S A KILLER!...HES A KILLER" - Slap Shot 1977. Literally could have asked Tie Domi and he would have known it
I was hoping someone would answer the question because I was curious! Thank you!
I couldn't believe, in Canada, there wasn't someone immediately quoting all of Slapshot after hearing that quote
“Dave’s a mess!” Haha
Yea sir! 100%
Daves a mess lol
The fact the Toronto pizza reviews are still coming is crazy got so many new spots to try now 🔥👏🏽
The Wife and I are visiting for the first time in about 9 days. We keep switching which one we want to try. Lol
This don't look good at all
@@adilrahman1204 This place is fire. I worked across the street for 3 years, it's great.
@@adilrahman1204 okay and…
@@adilrahman1204 tbh their slices are better than their full pizzas
Slap shot is the killer line. “Dave’s a killer!! Dave’s a mess”
I think Rodney Dangerfeild says a line like that in a different movie as well, except it's " the Kids a killa". I could be wrong, just rings a bell. Slap Shop is an all time great.
@@oisaux25 i just commented rodney bc I thought that too.. weird how shit like that sticks in our heads, he was way before my time so idek how the fuck i know that
it is from slap shot - and it's so funny that it's "Dave's a Killer" ruclips.net/video/hLPpCUn6PCo/видео.html
Right on. Paul Newman

Dave’s a killer!
For those who don't know, Domi has the most fights in NHL history. Back in the day if you wanted to prove you're a tough guy... you fight Tie Domi everyone knew the rules.
Small in stature but pound for pound the toughest ever. Beat up guys 6 inches taller than him.
The Vinnie Jones of NHL?
is his son max domi?
Even fought a fan
@@tylerf3505 you got it
"DAVE'S A KILLER" it's from the movie Slap Shot. Funny enough, the guy's name is Dave lol. Dave wasn't known as a fighter but ends up getting into a scrap so his teammates keep repeating "he's a killer. Then Tie Domi comes along. Such good content
Yeah I was thinking SlapShot
he initially said danny, because its from caddyshack
Daves a Mess is the next line
Just posted this, should of read the comments first.
I'm pretty sure he was referring to Swingers.
Gotta say, as someone who frequents Fresca, you gotta go for the slices here. Their pies just aren't as good as their big slices. The amount of crispiness and thin crust just hits you in a way that the pies don't. Also their slices are so cheap compared to the newer pizza joints in Toronto. The green stuff there is something you'll find at some Toronto pizza spots (King Slice for example). It's a killer combo of garlic / oregano and oil. But don't plan on kissing anyone after it. I personally think this rates higher than 7.4. But happy to see him visit Toronto and Fresca.
That is outrageous. There is no undercarriage or crunch. This is a 5.6.
Mark u nailed it
@@adilrahman1204 You should try actually reading the comment before replying to it. He is saying Fresca is known for the slices because they're cheap and come out with the perfect crisp.
@@adilrahman1204 it’s impossible for you or anyone else to rate a pizza based on a video. Stfu.
I agree a hundred percent. They're my favorite spot for slices, I'm always so disappointed they're not open late though when I'm drunk. I distinctly remember they used to be open late, not sure what happened.
Bill has been a fucking legend this whole Canada series, this man needs more contact
What's his IG
@@Alfie223 bill_pix
Wow what a combo. Two Toronto Legends Tie Domi and Pres.
Did Tie Domi just happen to be walking by on that random street at the same time Dave did this pizza review? What are the odds?
Domi is a legend.
He said he drove by and saw him then popped out cuz its prez
Who tf is tie domi
@@hypemanD one of the toughest hockey players to ever play the game
Dom of the year
@@hypemanD He is a man who is known by all the cool kids..... mouth breathers have no clue who he is
Domi casually walks by lmao what 😂
Time stamp?
He's like he was just driving by. Must have pulled over.
@@absoluteunit8628 5:16
Legend
Notice how he's the same height has Dave irl
These special appearances are giving Toronto the label of the best reviews to date!
Nothing will ever beat the New Haven Saga, but yeah these are the best in a couple years for sure
@@Aaron-fb1pq New Haven and Brooklyn are otherworldly for Pizza
New Haven is the powerhouse, but Toronto (and surrounding area) seems to be a very consistent area with a high volume of choices. Quantity with still a high quality.
When I was a kid, Tie Domi played in Binghamton and every time he was on the ice (without fail) fists would fly.
In Italy they would throw New York and New Haven pizza on the ground.
Who would’ve thought that Toronto, or anywhere in Canada for that matter, would not only have great pizza, but a glut of great pizza? This Toronto trip has been strangely educational and enlightening and will go down in history.
No surprise. Nearly a million Italians live in Toronto.
If you ever get to Windsor, try a pie from Antonino's or Armandos. Windsor-style pizza is a thing and it's amazing!
The jar of oil, herbs and garlic that you can just brush all over your pie/slice really makes this place stand out. Killer spot
Oh yes!! One bite, feels like Prez has been in Canada for a year . - Gary.
Gary!!!!!
I wouldn't have known it was Gary, thanks.
He has been wearing a paddy the baddy sweatshirt for a year straight.
@@megyskermike everybody knows a solid Gary
@@matthewp6570 so true
fucking Tie Domi. Doesn't get more Toronto than that. Love this series
Brio Chinotto! That was my absolute favorite growing up, and yes, it is absolutely an acquired taste ten times over.
Dave’s a killer, Dave’s a mess (Slapshot)
Old time hockey?
Unintentional Slapshot reference then Tie 'freakin' Domi magically appears!! Amazing. Pizza simulation confirmed 🤯🧠🍕
The quote "he's a Killer" is from one of the best movies of all time SLAP SHOT with Paul Newman
Slapshot reference and a Tie Domi cameo? This Toronto series just keeps on giving!
I can guess Dave’s score every other day yet I can never pick the right lottery numbers. 😂
Wow.. You and everyone else who watches... Noob.
SAME
Usually can tell by just looking at the top and bottom of the pie and how loud the crunch
Yup I'm getting good at guessing the score lmao. 7.4 then I thought maybe too low then boom 7.4
@@GhostStalker16 hahahaha that’s exactly how it is 😭
so Tie Domi said he was at Sam Remo earlier that day (same with Dave) and now he's randomly running into Dave at Fresca too? (for anyone not from Toronto these are very far from eachother) lol. obviously Domi was following Dave. But good to see him!
25+ years living in here and I've never ran into Tie Domi, lol. Guy is a legend yes, those were the days when the Leaf's were good lol never won the cup but a strong contender every year for 10 years+.
When in Toronto and Tie tell tells you to go to Capital Pizza in Windsor, you go to Capital Pizza in Windsor... Everybody knows the rules!
Windsor is a 6 hour drive or some shit like that
It’s from slapshot, “Dave’s a killer!!”…. “Dave’s a mess”
Beat me!
Appropriate that Domi shows up while Dave Forgets a Slap Shot reference.😁
... and right after he says that Dave bumps into a retired true Maple Leaf tough guy...lol
Or Stripes mud wrestling scene
Dave’s a mess
When I was a kid, Tie Domi played in Binghamton and every time he was on the ice (without fail) fists would fly.
Not purely New York style with that garlic oil but the price for quality ratio is CRAZY good
POV: Dave explaining to us what a 7.4 is after months of handing out 7.4's like it's Halloween Christmas.
Dave is just absolutely in love with, “Paddy the Baddy”
Doing keto and one meal a day and watching these reviews nonstop is killing me!
Stopped doing keto after 1 year of success because of these reviews but I don't regret it. Still doing omad tho and enjoy my pizzas ;)
@@NeptuneXVI Yeah, been doing keto off and on for several years and am hitting it hard now because I need to lose about 20 pounds. Will be doing a pizza cheat day soon!
Blaze pizza has a great keto crust
Keep it to yourself Keto Kaelin😢
@@joeldukes303 LoL
The Caddyshack reference ranks up there with some of Dave’s brilliant Office and Seinfeld references. Impressive how he comes up with them.
i think everyone has their own geeky references right. things you love and have seen a lot. Thats not impressive. he can literally pick whatever he remembers.
its not like someone quizzes him or asks him a specific reference and if he knows it. he literally can choose the one he thinks of that moment. or remembers.
I love when the full music is played in the intro. I love whistling along to it.
Awesome I grew up watching Tie Domi a little ball of fire.
business is booming for whoever makes these toronto pizza boxes
Been watching pizza reviews for two hours and finally had to give in and order one for myself. Everyone knows the rules.
These videos have been the single worst thing to ever happen to my waistline
Tie Domi is LEGEND! As a Buffalo sports fan, we had Rob Ray on the Sabres, and I always respected the Maple leafs across the lake, and Rob Ray and Tie Domi fought every time we played them! They are the 2 most legendary fighters EVER in the NHL!
leafs fan born raised toronto but those old sabres teams with the buffalo head jerseys and hasek, i almost liked them as much as the leafs
@@chadwellington2524 Killer Bro! Sabres are my home team, but Leafs are always #2! I grew up on the south shore of the lake, about 20 mins from the Lewiston Queenston Bridge. Ive always said i'm an honorary Canadian 1)because my grandfather grew up in Kitchener, and played for the Canadian army team in the late 30's-early 40's and made the leafs practice squad for 1 year, 2) living in that northwest corner of Niagara County, we got all the Toronto TV and radio stations!, LOVE Rush, Triumph, the Hip, the Trews, and ESPECIALLY The Sheepdogs! Plus we went on MANY fishing trips all over Ontario and Quebec growing up. Partied in the Niagara Falls bars in Ont. cause the drinking age was 19, ha...and went to The Beer Store and brought trunkloads back. Also a super cool thing is that when its clear out you can see Toronto from the shore! I love Canada with all my heart!!! It sucks that we cant just drive across the bridges anymore! Peace!

The Greek is a legend! Dude knows everyone
Tie Domi just casually walking down the street.
Ayyyyyy
How fuckin awesome is that....???legend Tie Domi just casually walks up on Dave during a review ..had to be planned...fuckin awesome...416 love from tdot baby...one from Canada's greatest tie fuckin Domi...love it baby
Gotta love that Tie Domi random guest appearance! Prez should've gotten him in on the review!

Good man, cheers 😎👍
I would only try the 7.9 and up. He missed Libretto which has a great NY pie. Though it is sourdough so he wouldn't like it much as he likes plain
I was waiting for this since the first Toronto vid, it's said they are the inventor of so called "Toronto style pizza."
How DARE you disparage Brio! I miss it often. Brio and pizza, everyone knows that's the way to go
Cool history behind the restaurant, thanks for sharing
One legendary cameo from Tie Domi everybody knows the rules
Dave. You never let us down. You're a prince.
This is the best traditional pizza in Toronto. No dumb frills, not overpriced just simple and delicious.
The green stuff isn’t a frill?
The way he says “I’m gonna go” get me everytime 4:08
So I pause the video to post about the "Dave's a killer!" line from Slapshot and 20 other people beat me to it.. Everyone that knew the Slapshot reference is awesome & you have my respect.
Come on Prez, how do you not invite Domi to score the pizza
Still waiting for Davey to actually go to Italy to do some pizza reviews, everybody knows that would be interesting.
It's fancy pizza, not really his style lol
Everybody knows he already has
He'd be throwing around high 6's and 7's because he doesn't like Italian style pizza. It definitely wouldn't be objective
Tie domi! Nice. I was thinking 5.9 to 6.2 on that slice
the fact dave asked tie domi if he knew “the greek” fuckin killed me 😂🤣
That “he’s a killer” line is from Slapshot.
You should have asked Tie Domi, he would have known that one.
I live right around the corner, they do huge $5 slices too. Pretty good pizza. You can slather that green stuff all over it with a brush too
We need more Bill the Greek
He needs to make a cameo
The “ Dave is a killer “ quote is from Slap Shot. A hockey movie that came out in 1977. An American classic to say the least.
The Hansons....such a great movie
That's gotta be the one Dave means. A classic.

Wish Domi could have given a review. Ask him to be a guest at his cousins place in Windsor 🇨🇦🍕
Now I want to know the name of the place in Windsor
@@themoultonshow6612 he says it in the video… Capital Pizza.
@@DastardlyDer thanks missed it
Was he trying to think of Rodney Dangerfield?
“You’re killing me”
Holy!! When I knew that Dave was in TO I inmediatly thought of this place, this place has the best margherita pizza in Toronto and remember to put lots of that garlic oil.
It's the mud wrestling scene in stripes, Bill Murray is psyching up John candy.
Would have been perfect if it was Gilmour walking by as he said "killer", but Domi is a suitable replacement
Seeing all the winter coats while it's full on spring down here in Mass messes with my mind.
2 legends on the streets of Toronto...
I used to go to Lord Lansdowne (the school down the street from Massimo’s. There were a handful of pizza places nearby, but Massimo’s was one of the favourites. The slices were big and really good! I’m glad to see that it’s still going 20 years later. Also, don’t hate on Brio!
wow epic cameo from Tie DOmi Toronto sports legend. Wow this makes this Toronto tour even more epic. What are the chances of that happening?
5:23 Do you know this guy ‘the Greek.. Bill??’ … Tie Domi, “nah…”. Sorry BTG, you’re a legend in only Dave’s mind… and his merry band of internet pizza warriors.
No comment on the lack of flop??? Damn, this pizza looks phenomenal.
Huh there is no undercarriage
Bill the Greeks legend continues
Dave, it's not a coke bud! Lol but you're not wrong it's definitely an acquired taste. Wasn't a huge fan when I was a kid but it's one of those drinks that can grow on you. I wouldn't buy a case for home, but if I'm at a good pizza spot and it's there...60% of the time I'll grab one.
What does it taste like?
@@adilrahman1204 pickle juice! (Kidding! Maybe...) 😆
@@adilrahman1204 Kind of like if coke was infused with orange peel
'Dave's a killer!'- Hanson brothers from 'Slapshot'. Starring Paul Newman
Classic Dave review !! 10/10
Good call Chris!
" I thought it was gonna be normal coke, but I don't like it" 😂 Dave to prob 90% of his hook up's...
Bania from Seinfeld.. Im killing it jerry killing it
Tie Domi's cousins place is a Naples Pizza franchise. My family owned and operated 2 locations. Proper pizza, but anyone who thinks Windsor Pizza is "the best or better than Toronto Pizza or any other big city pizza" belongs in an insane asylum.
He finally hit the Chinotto!!! I love it, but it took a while...
Pizza 4P's best pizza I had in all of Asian ( Hanoi, Vietnam)
If Dave was reviewing pizza when Massimo's was still around in the late 1990's it would get would get a 9.2. That was THE BEST margherita pizza in the city.
Another solid Canadian bite, shout out to the Greek, everybody knows the rules.
Garbage..
I guess we should try 1. North of Brooklyn 2. Badiali 3. Descendant 4. SanRemo 5. Frank's pizza 6. General Assembly Pizza(that's my recommendation)
Love seeing the Canada Post truck passbye in the reflection of the window. Lol
I guessed the pizza score I can read Dave like a book 📖 makes me happy when I guess … the score... love everything barstool does.. oh soda now
Me too. I can guess from the slight nuances
Brio is amazing! You're crazy Dave.
I have had over 100 slices from fresca. its the best slice in TO period
I love how Dave can look like a Billionaire and a homeless man at the same time.
Tie domi was a legend in hockey fights. Happy to see his son score 2 goals last week
gotta love a Vietnamese owned business ❤️
I’ve been watching your videos a while now & I’m proud to say that I’ve guessed your ratings spot on for these passed dozen videos.
I just realized how much of a blessing it must be to be able to travel all around the World and try various Pizzas from countless places. Dope Sweatshirt as well man. 💯🤙
...and be worth 80 mill
@@sirslice That Too...yes indeed...but the pizza has to take the cake when comparing the two, no?!? Lmfao. 🍕 > 💸. There...I said it!! I'm just Joshin' yah. 🤙
i really enjoyed this one. it had some of my favorite classics. prez quoting a film without remembering the name of the film, prez talking shit about a group of people who are talking shit. and when he walked up to the blogTO sticker and started making the throat cutting gesture to the Vietnamese employee i started chuckling.
One Tie Domi,
randomly walking the streets of, Toronto,
everyone knows the rules.
Daffy Duck's Quackbusters. "He's a killer!! He's a killerrrrrr!!" Sylvester the Cat Tweety does a Jekyll and Hyde thing.😂
Massimo’s.
Not massamino’s.
And that is the original spot, Fresca replaced it after Massimo’s closed but yea, the guy making the pizza was there from the beginning in the 80s
It was owned by two brothers Vincenzo and Antonio massimo.
Don’t try to correct Dave’s awful pronunciation in the comments, everyone knows the rules
@@seanhaines5481 saying “hoss” instead of “horse” is mispronunciation.
Calling a guy named “Mike”, when his name is “Steve” is something quite different.
A name is name, everyone knows the rules Conrad Hamez.
PLEASE TRY STATCHYS @ North Andover Massachusettes , its amazing
A WILD TIE DOMI APPEARS!
Wow Tie Domi just strolling around and Pres daps him up like he’s a long time buddy
