To the owner...that pie looked amazing!
Thank you
Agreed 110%!
Absolutely agree. Looks so good!!
absolutely looked amazing. Perfect crispness
Agreed, only deep dish pizza I have seen that looks really good, looked like a 8.3- hard to believe. Wouldn't believe it if OBPR hadn't done the video review.
8.3 on a deep dish is crazy, monster score. Congrats to the owners, seemed like great people
Based on the look it’s a 6.7-7 (loops sloppy) Taste is something else that needs a grade.
sitting right between Lou Malnati's (8.2) and Giordano's (8.4)... not bad for something he started as a hobby a couple years ago.
I think same score Dave gave for stuffed pizza at Giordano's no?
@@LuisMartinez-yv2tzdumb and wrong
@@LuisMartinez-yv2tzThat pizza looks fucking amazing, you're insane
These are the best kinds of episodes.
Props to Prez's dealer
love it!!!!!!!!!! Congrats
My best friend is Uncle Jerry’s daughter, Chloe! We grew up in Cary together. I remember all the weekends in elementary, middle, and high school when my family would go over to the Czerwinski’s for pizza nights. Jerry eventually built a outdoor brick oven. We would have get togethers with the Cary crew in their backyard while Chloe and Jerry would experiment with different pizza styles and recipes, letting us taste test their new za’s . Ever since I could remember, it was Chloe’s dream to start the family pizza business. She always pushed Jerry and everyone in the fam to make it happen, and sure as shit, here we are! So proud of you Clo Clo and Czerwinski fam. Love it when my loved ones dreams become a reality. Y’all deserve everything and more. HELL YEAH!
Just when i thought it wasnt posible to like the owners more… you proved me wrong. Seems like so wholesome people
8.3...fuggin fabulus pizzzaaaa!!!! WOW!!
If this was all a lie that would be hilarious. But good friend lol
Can I get your number?
Thanks, I love a back story
I’m really happy for that family the pizza got an 8.3. Well deserved.
Right. Absolutely excellent for a business to exist within a two year span and get an 8.3. I’d be crying!
I mean did you see that zero flop? Plus that crust look sooo gud.
DEEP DISH/PAN PIZZA IS THE BEST
Dave basically just declared this as the best deep dish place in Illinois, and therefore the world
Had it yesterday. It is the best deep dish ive had.
This is the last peaceful moment this pizza place will have. Congrats on the HUGE score, everyone knows the rules.
Over the last year, this place already became a local hot spot. The type of place where every single day the local food review social media groups would be raving about them. If you go in during any dinner hours, they're usually packed already. This certainly won't make it any slower lol.
Everybody *
It was already a hot spot. Hard to get an order in on a Saturday night.
I know. I’m going to have to go on a Wednesday during the day to get in this place. Love the Mom and Pop
Spots we have in the Chicago area. We are very fortunate to have such great pizza.
💯
The way the owner didn’t want to bother Dave with a picture at the end just makes me love the guy even more. Seems so pure.
Zero flop and the sauce/cheese didn't immediately slide off when he grabbed a slice....extremely impressive.
It did tho.. but that's more because of the way he's eating it, standing up, one hand, rushed, didn't wait long enough to let it tighten up
Yeah man, that pizza crust has the full crunch factor and has all the toppings of a Chicago style and it held together well. Count me impressed as well.
@@bendlorI figured it would to a degree considering it’s fresh out of the oven plus there’s more sauce to slide off of vs a NY style.
@bendlor he needs to implement a 5:00-7:00 timer before he eats the pizza. It's crazy to eat fresh out of the oven pizza. The cheese almost always slides off and you can't even really taste it properly when it's so hot.
I noticed that...good call
Looks like Jerry created a new category…I’ve never seen anything like it…some sort of tavern style deep dish hybrid. 8.3 straight from the heart. Beautiful.
Deep dish is not supposed to be thick. The dough is typically thinner than a Sicilian. I thought Uncle Jerry’s was good but nothing special.
Its pan pizza
@@Ram44Uncle Jerry's is better than every iconic deep dish pizza in Chicago. I have had them all. Nothing comes close. Burt Katz was the only other one that was top notch.
Such a nice man - the pizza guy. I hope Dave's big score fills that place up!!!!!
Dave’s big score just filled that place up a couple minutes ago.
@@wizcorn9958 How do you know this? :)
@@thegoldrobber an 8+ score will fill any place up
@@thegoldrobberthat maybe the owner that responded to you. The same user name said thank you to a comment earlier that was directed at the owner. Could be a troll though 🤷🏻♂️
it's always filled up over there
The way he never says no to a picture or avoids a conversation with fans is awesome
Uncle Jerry’s life is about to change… Massive score and that pizza looked delicious!!
Not really - its Cary, IL - kinda rural. They'll see a bump in business for sure, but its not gonna be a national destination.
About an hour drive from Chicago w/ no traffic. It’ll definitely get busy on the weekends.
@@negahplz1156 90-100 minutes no traffic. Thats not happening for any pizza.
@metromusic5725 I'm from Wisconsin and I'm tempted to drive. I like deep dish and that looked amazing. People will flock
@@bigdoinks2006 its worth lmao
The happiest I’ve been for a pizza owner in a long time. The best deep dish I’ve seen as well. I was praying for an 8 and we got it. Congratulations! Your business has changed for ever.
We?
This is one of the most unique looking pizzas I've ever seen. Would love to try it
I'm a New Englander but I had deep dish at Chicago places 30 years ago that blew my mind. This pie looked like all of that, and more with it not being quite as thick as I remember... and with that perfect crust going way up the side!!! WOW! Perfection of that style IMO!
I had it about a year ago while visiting my brother in Chicago. It's my all time favorite place. Truly a worth it visit to get.
@@Chaddcl0ps813 it's definitely on my pizza bucket list.
There's a place in Big Bear, CA called Village Pizza that does one similar to this. Normal size through the slice with a giant thick crust.
It’s not deep dish, it’s more similar to pan pizza and it’s to die for.
This pizza place is LEGIT good. Hybrid deep dish style but still thin and crispy crust. Sauce is very flavorful. They were recently at a Chicagoland Pizza fest and scored very highly with expert critics. Easily the best food in Cary Illinois, and rivals some of the best pizza in the state.
Better than a Tracks Burger?!
bro tracks fuckin sucksssss
@@cornelmontano367
Davey solved that pizza box faster than a Rubik's cube in the dark. Everybody knows the rules 🍕
How does he not know that there's tabs on each side lol
I think it was accidental but it's still a win.
He did it for us. The People.
Dave saying " They're nicer than me I don't deserve to be that nice to" shows how much of genuine guy he is, amazing looking pie 🍕
I’m jumping up and down watching this!!! I’ve bragged about this pizza for the last two years to everybody because it’s absolutely amazing!!! No deep dish like it, solely an Uncle Jerry original
Definitely the best in Chicago area, and that's saying a lot. Chicago has great pizza
Man, 8.3 is a monster deep dish score. The people running that place seem so kind. They really deserve that score, and I hope they get all the business they deserve too. Good things come to good people...who also know how to make good pizza. That crust looked top notch.
I love when Dave gets excited because he gets a good pie. I bet it makes it worth his time.
Jerry better be ready for the onslaught. That wasn't just a normal big score, that was Dave genuinely being way more impressed than he expected to be. I always shun deep dish, definitely not my style, but this looked really good.
Dave or someone needs to do a Dave Portney Pizza review map with all the scores and locations. So when we get in our cars and start driving...
@@davehightower1851 what? do you know what this is? there is literally an app called One Bite Pizza, thats why Dave does this lol hes making millons off reviewing pizzas
It is on his app@@davehightower1851
These are the episodes that hit the heart. What a beautiful unique family and pizza.
What a nice comment 👍
Wild that he could pick up that deep dish slice with 1 hand and it stayed firm. That's a great review, super happy for those guys!
cuz it wasn't really a deep dish
@@kidrobot.is say it is, lou malnatis is similar in that way.
Uncle Jerry is about to get an influx of business with that score.
So happy for Uncle Jerry! Cary is such a cool town too - worth the drive out from Chicago.
I’ve had this pizza before and it’s phenomenal. Best pizza I’ve ever had in the Chicago area
I believe it after seeing that pie! Wowsa -- WANT!!
know what im doing friday
That's saying something since it's different from every pizza around there. Wish I still lived nearby to try it.
It looked different but good, real good
@@scottulrich2725 if you ever find yourself back in the area, definitely make a point to go there for dinner!
Grew up in Cary eating this pizza in uncle Jerry’s back yard! Awesome family and well deserved
Dave couldn't stop eating that pizza.... legit score! congrats to the owner and crew at this pizza shop
That crust looks incredible. This review isn't even in 3D and the crust is popping out of the screen. Well earned high score!
Right?! I was taking a few screenshots and timing it just right so the angle made the depth jump out. Severe wanting, right now.
Congrats Uncle Jerry and family, that's a monster score!
First time a pizza review brought me to tears....just a beautiful wholesome story....great family. They deserve so much success.
That’s one of the best damn looking crusts I’ve ever seen!
Tried it the day after Dave stopped in. Didn’t even know it was there. Amazing pizza! Jerry and the staff were wonderful, I will definitely be coming back!
For me that's the best looking pizza I've ever seen on this channel and I've been watching for a long time.
Coolest people makes it just freakin' awesome. Glad he scored them that high, cheers!
it's one of the worst for me. Pizza really is polarizing.
Amen to that whole situation. Beautiful people, beautiful pizza, beautiful score.
That pizza is so unique it looks awesome. Great score and great owners.
I was the official DJ for Jerry Garcia with the Dead when they came to NY on Long Island The people that followed the Grateful Dead were the strangest but nicest people I ever met.
Was not expecting that score for a deep dish!! Great episode Dave and Austin. Love theses kinds of episodes when you mingle with the owners/cooks/staff etc!!!
More of a pan pizza than deep dish. The high-ridge crust was misleading.
Really not a deep dish. The sides just go up. Actually thin crust
@@TheBigO-k6g It's cooked in a pan though, not like thin crust. Pan pizza is like a shallow deep dish. Deep dish is in the middle. Stuffed pizza goes further with a crust on top. The dough used in pan pizzas is different than thin-crust dough and the crust can take on different characteristics by using a pan.
What a genuinely kind, soft spoken dude. I love reviews like this. The story is great and the pizza is amazing. Dave is the man!
Dave is a man of the people.
What an awesome story, and that pie looks amazing. I don't think they realize how crazy their business is going to get now LOL. Congrats on the future success!
Monster score for a deep dish. That place is about to be booming even more! Wholesome Dave lookin out for the little guy, everyone knows the rules.
Not truly a deep dish. The sides just go up. The rest is thin crust.
@johnorabone6112 it's a thin creature deep dish combo, I bet it's awesome
Love one bite pizza reviews with Dave! I watch them every day on my lunch break at work. Comfort watching.
That looks like a great pizza. Actually love the deep dish style without being 3 inches thick.
Exactly
It's almost getting there to actual pizza, NY style lol
Massive score for a deep dish style pizza. It seems like the best of both worlds. Thin but still has a that thick buttery crust. Zero flop which is unheard of and the cheese and sauce didn't slide off the slice like soup. Jerry and his family deserve it! Congrats!!!
This dude's hobby just became his bread and butter with this one. I wish the owner well, he seemed like a genuinely nice dude.
I've never seen Dave score a deep dish this high before.
You know it was good if Dave was still eating it when he went back in and out again.
Bingo!
I was hoping for something in the 8's and when Dave said 8.3, I screamed so loud! Way to go Dave keep doing what you're doing, everybody knows the rules!
My eyes lit up when the box flipped open. It looks delicious
@Dave This brought tears to my eyes. I know that they deserve the 8.3 but I also know how much this is going to help their business. Just listening to his humble story and seeing their rating, I love what you're doing for these people Dave. Good man :) This is probably the best review I've seen you give. Just a very genuine story :)
Looks more like a pan pizza. Looks pretty darn good. With a score of 8.3, they're going to get packed with people. Good for them.
Not my typical style either but looks pretty damn good. I'm happy for any business that was a passion project for their child. That's the real American Dream.
@@irollerblade13I agree, a pan pizza but with a high ridge crust (similar to deep dish). Looked amazing though.
That is never a pan pizza. Crazy talk.
As a chicago native...that is for sure a deep dish pizza you can see the fluffy/buttery crust(well I can lol) chz/sauce on top, for sure a deep dish.
However, many ppl get 'Stuffed Pizza' and 'Deep Dish' mixed..stuffed is literally like an actual pie with crust on the bottom and top...as a Chicago guy I have noticed many 'out-of-towners' get this confused and g'damiit it gives Chi pizza a bad rap.
@@bc2859 Pan pizza has the same type of crust as deep dish, it's just doesn't have as thick of a layer of cheese and ingredients. The ridge of crust on this establishment's pan pizza is particularly high so it looks like a deep dish. Both are prepared and cooked in an oiled cast-iron pan as opposed to a flat pizza that goes straight in the oven like a tavern-style thin crust.
That double take with the "whoa" You knew it was gonna be a monster score.
I did the same thing my first time eating it a little less than 2 years ago. Amazing.
For a deep dish pizza, that's a MONSTER score!
This has been my favorite One Bite Review yet. So wholesome. Dave is a good guy. 💖
That crust looks AMAZING!
Dave is a man of the people fkn love that guy
They should just call their pizza the "High Crust Pizza" and then let the taste speak about the rest. It looked fantastic.
They just renamed it to High Crust Pizza🫵🏻
I was thinking "Tall Crust Pizza"🍕
I’m close to this place, we get it like 1 time a month, the best pizza to get there is called the “sweet sting”. It’s a deep dish pepperoni but it’s baked with their homemade habanero honey, and then u can get a side of it to drizzle on top, it’s sweet, it’s savory, it’s got a little spicy kick from the honey, it’s saucy, it’s cheesy, it’s crispy, ITS PERFECT. Go get yo self a slice
Yep! Im like a minute drive down 14 from them. Great pizza. Wanna grab a drink somewhere sometime? Lol
lol, I literaly said "wow" when he gave it an 8.3 El Prez is a sucker for good people with a nice story. The pizza looks great also.
This is my favorite place! They've been crazy busy since this came out and I couldn't be happier for them
Love the bit where he cant figure out the logistics of opening a pizza box lol. I miss me some chicago deep dish.
A true man of the people. Gotta love this guy.
That Pizza looks fantastic 😋
The story is straight out of a kitchen nightmares plot, where the owner was something completely different, then decided to open a restaurant. Hopefully it works out for them!
Well they lasted through the pandemic so it's a good bet this place will flourish.
It just guaranteed them business for at least a year or two with that review
They're already opening 2 new locations
@@jimmy2thymes916 lived in the town during the time and it wait time to get a pizza from Uncle Jerry's was insane. They blew up right away.
They really love you El Presidente! You are the man of the day to a lot of people and that's interesting and heartwarming at the same time.
One family makin pizzas as a hobby gettin a 8.3 from the prez . Everyone knows the longtime pizza makers are jealous af right now
Apparently this Pizza was shown at Pizza City Fest during a lecture and pizza makers loved it so yeah they probably are lol.
@@Blue-bv1ur Yeah some bakers are just gifted really. I can attest to the ingredients they use top dollar stuff.
Places like Dragon Pizza who legitimately got shitty scores.
@@alpham777I believe it! Been meaning to go last 2 years but finally made it. Was outstanding!
I had their pizza befit they opened!! ALWAYS BEEN A FAN!!!! so happy for you guys!! They have been SO BUSY since this review. Absolutely amazing pizza!!
An 8.3 deep dish i'd never think in my wildest dreams Dave woulda gave them an 8.3 absolute monster score ya boy Jerry best be ready for a flood of biz
Deserved monster score. The pizza there really is something else, like a deep dish light its hard to explain without trying it yourself but it's very very good. So glad to see you're in Illinois.
Wow, massive score... Looks amazing 😍
Makes me want to drive down from Wisconsin just to go here.
Sweet dreams, Uncle Jerry.
I mean a thin crust deep dish that score is bang on. Looked fucking great!
So proud! My parents are regulars here because they live a block away! I love Uncle Jerry’s!
8.3 let's goooo! 🙌
That looks perfect by deep dish standards.
I like how they keep it kinda thin, but you know that's topped with fresh ass ingredients.
Dave at it again! Helping small businesses, one at a time!
i'd love to see follow-ups from these high scoring places!
That's one of the best looking deep dish I have seen. Hard to compare to normal pizza, it's like an entirely different craving. But when you want one, nothing else really scratches that itch.
No chance any other reviewer could eat a deep dish slice while standing, everybody knows the rules.
I drive past here a lot for work, gonna have to check it out!! MONSTER Illinois score!
Deep dish is not really my favorite but this one looks really good. Keeps that deep dish pie spirit but it holds stiff and has crunch.
If I had THAT deep dish near me, I expect it would absolutely be my favorite. One of the most awesome pies I've ever seen, by looks at least.
Wow, great review. One of the best in a long while! So happy for that family
The Midwest farmers’ daughters really make you feel alright!
Haven’t watch a pizza review in a minute but after this one imma start checking them out a little more. It’s a delight to watch a small Boston man eating pizza. It’s so cozy.
I have never seen a pizza like that damn it looked good!
Awesome Owner shook my hand as soon as I walked inn the place was packed drove over an Hour to Try it and it did not dissapoint! Love and Peace Guys keep onn Pizzainnn!
Wow!
An 8.3 for a deep dish... in Cary, Illinois!
Who saw this coming?
Huge score, pizza looked great.
Can someone please show Dave how to open a pizza box?
He can't even figure out which end should open lol
Well they keep over engineering the pizza box for some odd reason . Why change something that ain't broke .
Looks like a deep dish, tastes like a deep dish, eats like a football pizza. Great looking pie, great score.
5 minute pizza review. Who has time for that? Dave looks like he just came out of a 12 year old birthday party at an arcade, everybody knows the rules.
Follow-up 06-30.
Damn good pizza. Top 3 that I've ever had for sure. Definitely worth the 2 hour drive. Cozy, small, relaxing place.
If you have plans to go, arriving before 4pm is a must. After that their packed with a long wait line.
Tried that pizza last week. It was amazing! Definitely deserves the score Dave gave it.
Is it always just a cheese pizza?
I have a similar question!
sometimes Hawaiian
Gosh dang it
Sometimes salt and oregano
This place is AMAZING! I love the atmosphere and the staff and atmosphere. Great spot.
Those shirts are amazing, I love this.
We are nice people and yes, we can put out an 8+ pie here in the Midwest. Thanks Dave!!
I've been to Uncle Jerry's (8.3) many times. One of the best ever. Also loved your reviews of Village Pizza (7.7) and Sal's Pizza (7.6). All three are within 5 miles of me. Sal's has the best thin crust meat lover's pizza I've ever had.
I'll be eating there tomorrow, 06-29.
Driving 2 hrs on Dave's recommendation.
