This guys probably my favorite pizza guy so far. So genuine and humble. Dude doesn't even know that an 8.2 means people are now planning trips from 100s of miles away to go order a pie. He's just doing what he does and I love it.
Thanks alot for the compliment!! And i knew what dave meant but after the review aired the owner let me go so just so everybody knows i am no longer employed there. I am sorry!!
@@johnleonard8538 You're the guy throughout the review that Dave said personified pizza? And the owner let you go? Makes no sense! You were a huge factor in getting that 8.2, the best score in this region of Connecticut. Even if Dave would have loved the pizza anyway, Dave liking you almost certainly bumped it up to 8.2, which gave you the best score (by .1) over all the famous pizzerias in the region. That's worth 10's of thousands of dollars per year in attracting business, possibly $100,000+! Frankly, that would be enough to make me go to the other places as a customer. Without you, this is 8.1, the same as all the other places. EVERYBODY KNOWS THE RULES.
@AnonYmous-ry2jn yes i am the guy in the white shirt that made the pizza and totally talked to Dave. Thank you for the compliment as well and thanks too for at least another person understanding the whole aspect of what that means and everything. Some people i guess dont get it!!
Dave thinks telling someone that they look like pizza is a compliment, I think he looks like Will Sasso from Mad TV which is less offensive. He seems like a good hardworking man, I always like to see a high score for this type of guy and he handled the "compliment" real well. Remember when he told a fan that he looked like a meatball? Dave has no filter but that's one of the reasons that he's popular.
Completely wrong interpretation, are people really this bad at reading people nowadays? He was flattered but because he seems like a mellow slightly shy kind of guy his response was low key.
This looks like the kinda local pizza place I'd become a regular at. Real dudes passionate about their work who clearly know what they're doing. Good job fellas!
@@dhLotan Yeah but I'll binge these for like 20 minutes and then there's always a new one within that 20 minutes I spend binging lol. I caught this one 2 minutes after it was uploaded
Christos In Wallingford CT Is the closest to new haven pizza one of the sleeper pizza restaurants in CT, check their pizza pics on their website even, they're definitely top 5 in CT next to sallys pepe and little rendezvous
I admit. My comment is completely biased. I grew up in Guilford. So proud. My childhood home is 5 minutes up the road from Carpanzano's. Dave is doing such a good thing for us... Connecticut pizza. We're the best... Worldwide. He did Capone's in Branford too. Hopefully he did Marco's and Pacileo's in Branford too. Hat's off to Dave. Such a good Dude. I love it.
all the people crying, taking calling that guy 'pizza' out of context. he simply meant, you can tell that this guy, lives and loves making pizzas, he knows what he's talking about and is as authentic as it comes. all you cry babies saying its offensive.
Absolutely i knew what he meant through the conversation we had that was not in the review. But unfortunately right after the review aired the owner let me go. Im sorry but im no longer employed there.
@sedonachris5061 jealousy?? Idk he didnt want to talk to him at all he kept telling me to go talk to him so i did and ive been doing all the work there for the past year and a half!!! Cause of all the people coming in asking about me got in his head!! If you really think about it its the dumbest move in a business sense ever!!!
@sedonachris5061 and he cant even lie about making me go talk to Dave when he came in cause its all on camera!!! He even took the pizza i first made for him out of the oven way early and it was very light so when dave came he told me i had to make another one for him!! It all on camera. God knows only the owner and me know that but if it ever came down to it the proof is all in the surveillance system!! The owner could never lie about anything that day!!!
I just learned that the owner let go the guy who made the pizza, and was liked enough by Dave to get an *8.2* (" *I LOVE THE GUY IN THERE WHO MADE THE PIZZA * ") WHAT THE HECK IS THAT ABOUT??????!!! That guy by impressing Dave this way will bring in $100,000+ of additional business per year (yes, best score in the region!!). Insane. Without this gut, NO WAY that score is an 8.2, and it's now just like all the other really good places in the region. Lack of appreciation of great employees is intolerable to me, makes ALL the difference when I decide where to go, especially with so many other great local options.
Thank you very much!! I really was hoping what the owner did to me after this would have gotten back to Dave or went viral about him letting me go but nothing. It amazes me what go viral today and what doesnt!? But hey as for the owner everybody gets what they deserve in life. Thank you again!!
@@johnleonard8538 Still trying to get Dave's attention to your situation. I wish more viewers would do so as well, but what can you do. I still have you in mind and will try to draw attention to your situation in other comments. So sorry your boss screwed you over, and that there isn't ore attention to this matter. But hopefully it will be resolved as you deserve. I'll keep trying.
Hey guys, cut it like a New Haven. May they be blessed with tons of business. We drive 100 miles to Fredi The Pizza Man a dozen times a year and never would have known without Dave.
Has it ever crossed Portnoy's mind that telling someone they look like pizza could potentially be perceived as insulting? I genuinely think not, which is one of the reasons I earnestly enjoy Portnoy. He has his jagged edges but there's a genuine wholesomeness and down to earth quality about him that is rare to find.
EXACTLY!! Cause the owner never talked to Dave once except for that the owner pushed it all on me and then 3 days after the reviewed aired the owner told me he didnt need me anymore. But yeah i though that was hysterical too!!
A great pizza video! Dave is supercool to ask Owner if he wanted a pic. Of course, yeah! Dave should offer the "ideal" photo, meaning most iconic location within the pizzeria, the best background subject matter behind the people, like the pizza ovens, for example. The wall photo seemed not the best location.
Allright, that looked like an 8 all day long, very strong looking pie! I know what that guy was saying, it's not "deep Wooster St." style with heavy char. It's more "approachable" for regular civilians who are pizza fanatics. Some people in CT don't love the "Wooster St." style.
This is my home town pizza place! I live five minutes from Carpanzono's, Very good. Happy they got a great score! But, now I'm going to have to put in my order even earlier than normal. Something tells me they'll be getting busy!
Being the person that made it when i first saw the review it did sound like it was gonna be higher but he told us it was 8.2 . And then 3 days after the review aired the owner told me he didnt need me anymore!!!
Thanks alot!! But sorry 3 days after the review aired the owner told me he didnt need me anymore. So now im sure the apizza is totally different but who knows??? Thank you again though for the compliment about the product i was making while i was there!!
Thank you!! Amazing that how i made it and then 3 days after the review aired the owner told me he didnt need me anymore!! But thanks for the compliment!!
I live not even 4 minutes away from this place and never tried it until I saw this review. Unfortunately it was a lot floppy-er when i got it but still very good. I'm more of a naples pizza guy myself but I'll probably go back to this place when I want something other than naples. (To any locals wondering why not Grand, I've never been a fan of that cornmeal or whatever it is they put on the crust)
Thank you for the compliment!! Its probably alot floppier now and different because 3 days after the review aired the owner told me he didnt need me anymore!! So now yes it will and should be totally different. Sorry and thanks again!!
Thank you for the compliment!! But i wasnt the owner just the guy that was making all the apizza. I was the guy in the white shirt. The owner never wanted to talk to Dave at all except to ask at the end what the score was. And then 3 days after the review aired the owner told me he didnt need me anymore. But thank you for the compliment!!!
Thanks for the compliment!! Sorry i wasnt the owner just the guy making the apizza but 3 days after the review aired the owner told me he didnt need me anymore. But thanks again!!!
@GandalftheWhite-i5g again whos crying??? Just letting the public know that im not there anymore, and what type of person the actual owner is!!! Obviously we can all see now the type of person you are!!! Youre one of those people that would stand with the owner after he got rid of the person that did all that for that place!!! If anything you are the one who needs to move on!!! Have a nice day!!!
No way he told that guy he looks like pizza. Scott is wild for that.
Who is Scott?😂😂
@@billythatkidd6926 David Scott Portnoy
To be fair he kinda looks like human pizza.

Guy seems slightly offended by being called a pizza ten times so immediately Dave says "you wanna do a pic?"
🤣
The man should stand proud. He’s clearly a talented connoisseur.
What’s your ethnicity?🍕 PIZZA 🍕
Once you have asian you don't want to go back to Caucasian 😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Guy's social intelligence is on par with his investing instincts, I'll give it a 4.6
I love old school guys like this. Hardworking & putting out great pies. Great score Dave
Its even better 4 days after the review the owner let me go!! But thank you for the compliment!!
"You look like pizza." 🤣
Only Dave would mean that as a compliment.
"Hate glasses, cant see shit though" made me laugh lol.
i relate...
he's a mans man

He probably does! That's the thing. When you do the shit that he does your brain gets warped and you're not an everyday everyman any longer.
Boston people are hella rude. I know others like Portnoy from Boston
The look on pizza makers face 😐
Dave knows exactly what he is saying and doing. Dave is a good guy but a doosbag at the same time.
Will Sasso as Stone Cold and Kenny Rodgers was the best! 😅
A multiverse of slices? Dr. Dave unifying quantum physics with the pizza game. Everyone knows the laws.
Underrated comment.
That's a great looking pie. Love it when the good guys get the score.
Thanks for the compliment but after the review aired the owner let me go. So sorry i am no longer employed there.
"I knew it as soon as I saw you... Pizza"
"Thanks"
Bro took offense to that for sure
I don’t think so. He wasn’t flattered but he was certainly lost for words haha Just seemed indifferent to it
Completely wrong interpretation, are people really this bad at reading people nowadays? He was flattered but because he seems like a mellow slightly shy kind of guy his response was low key.
I don’t think he could tell if Dave was busting his chops or not 😂
im dying hahahahhahh
@@rogertoaster9385 right? by his face u could tell he thought it was actually funny.
Dave is the type of guy who enjoys a soft drink of choice with his order

Don't disrespect the pizza parlor!!!!

At least he didn't call him an apizza
This looks like the kinda local pizza place I'd become a regular at. Real dudes passionate about their work who clearly know what they're doing. Good job fellas!
That place has "If Tony Soprano laid low and opened a pizza shop" vibes.
Dave's a solid guy. Much respect. He deserves all his success.
Enuf with the Scott jokes, at this point even Scott is probably getting annoyed
I know I am!
😂
This should've lasted one day. How people still think this is funny is beyond me. Alot of corny ass people
Yeah, enough Scott jokes. Back to Dave.
THAT looked like a GREAT pie and my local spots are DeLorenzo's, DeLucia's and Contes in NJ.
He always seems to upload just as I start binge watching these again
Isn't that because he uploads practically daily
@@dhLotan Yeah but I'll binge these for like 20 minutes and then there's always a new one within that 20 minutes I spend binging lol. I caught this one 2 minutes after it was uploaded
When it'd not a 2 minute review, you know good chances it'll be high 7's or in the 8's.
Or something insane is going to happen. Lol
Head nods gets it into the 7’s. If he nods after second bit you’re 7.8-8.2
Or a crack addict with no arms
Every time
Unless your shirt is too small
Thumbnail looks in the 8s
Its a red letter day, dave actually knows where he is.
It's a pizza perfect day.
Cannot believe Dave nailed that pronunciation on the first try
Dave got the name right and he knew where he was. Planets must be aligned today.
"You look like pizza" Best fat compliment anyone could have. Everybody knows the rules 🍕

these reviews make my day
gotta love daves compliments XD
Real people real food. Thanks Dave. Love seeing this.
As soon as you said 8.2 the chef lit up. He knows that's a massive score. 🎉
Because he's pizza
When the cook comes out with those DOUGHBOY hands you KNOW you're in GOOD HANDS

"One bite, everybody knows the rules" ... "Oooo, very good first bite"
That pizza looked fantastic. Damn I miss living in New England. Y’all don’t know how good you truly have it when it comes to pizza
When you know your pizza is that good it must be a relief to finally see Dave walk in and think "today's the day!"
You know it's a good score when Dave is honest with the crew.
I love how Dave stares at the pizza 🍕 after he takes his first, second and third bite!!
Great pic at the end!
I *LOVE* an 8+ one-bite score episode! This was great
