But I think he's the same guy I talked to. I don't know
OHH i live in portland oregon too that box is nyc pizzaria and no hes never been there
Well i guess the company who makes those boxes have more customers, than just this guy... Idiot..
Que padre ver a este compa salir adelante y haciendo su trabajo con una sonrisa. mucho exito Eleo!!!
that looks like perfect pizza- I'm not surprised he studied the technique in Italy
@Orange Muricans?
@Sandy Lee Stop doing drugs.
@Sandy Lee stop talking non sense....
Sandy Lee i want whatever you're smoking.
@Sandy Lee i don't know where you ate that pizza , i did also eat a regular pizza in a neopolitan restaurant , was delicious , basil on top gives that extra flavour (or just order with toppings) . And to be honest everybody has a different method doing it , you just gotta try different locations . Do not generalise based on 1 pizza
First of all, he's my hero, and second of all, he and the corn man should unite and with their power combined they will take over the streets of LA😎
thefabulousnarwhal the corn man 😂 who is it is there a video too?
@@Truth2power5848 he's a guy also in LA who sells corn late at night, I forgot which area he normally goes to, but his method is similar to pizza man😂 I don't remember if Food Insider did a video on him, but I'm sure there's other videos of him😊😂
The corn man is in Lincoln heights area and he is an angel!! Such a nice old man and his corn makes me cry of happiness every time I’m drunk at 11 at night. But get there early the line gets crazy.
@@thefabulousnarwhal5410 you mean an elote man or is his name actually the corn man
@@Dwhifwhidwhiqdn12 English speaking people call him the corn man (my first language is also English) but I don't know if the Spanish people just call him elote man or if they just go with corn man. ☺
I’ve only ever heard small children say they don’t like crust
Ya, pizza crust are hella delicious

@@zawarudo8023 like ranch?
@@justjeremy441 I prefer garlic or buffalo sauce.
I saw a street vendor in Van Nuys on Sherman Way in front of the old K-Mart that had two Ooni’s going. I didn’t stop to try it as I wasn’t hungry, but there’s more than one guy doing this!
Is it good?
I just appreciate his cleanliness and the freshness of his ingredients...with that being said...I want one😩😩😩

@Sandy Lee tmi, mate. tmi
@Sandy Lee you are incredibly funny subscribed
This story warms the heart. And the crust and the mozzarella looks make it look like a legit neapolitan pizza.
I hope he opens his own restaurant one day, seems like a good and genuine dude
He looks like he is 20 and he has been making pizzas for the last 15 years lol
Maybe he started when he was young idk
wtf do you know about pizza
You eat it
@@nadrud how about you???
Ikr he looks youngg..maybe he is in mid 30?
Wow. So impressed by this guy's dedication. "After his day job at another restaurant, Eliot sets up his pizza stand"
a talented and hardworking man. this guy is going places
Anyone who does not eat Pizza Crust should get daily beatings.
Exactly
Crust is nasty! Come get these hands
Should people get beaten for their opinions?
@@jujukee Definitely.
@@jujukee I was not serious. I would never hit someone over this.
Those 1.1k dislikes, is everything okay at home?
Emmanuel Heisenberg i think its about the guy who said he hated the crust
@Bobby Brady what
@Bobby Brady rightfully so how?
@Bobby Brady yeah so is cops killing unarmed civilians but no one does anything to them
home yes, but when you have people open businesses for free and everyone else has to pay enormous taxes and permits to the local government. tell the local kids who voted for that dumbass government to stay home and stfu. I have no problem with people being entrepreneurial but when they cheat the system they deserve a fire extinguisher.
I've been a cooking for 30 years...kudos to this guy!..he's my hero I been wanting to do this for 15 years! You go amigo!
Love to see it. A non-English speaking individual doing well in this country through hard work.
he needs to open up his own pizza joint
Go into business with him
No. The price increases
In L.A? He’s better off in his truck. Property values are fucked over there so he wouldn’t make nearly as much, even if he’s able to make and sell a lot more
I can open up a joint but you better have a lighter

Kudos to that guy living his dream. He's out there killing it after his day job. Then you got all these people who think they're owed a living on welfare draining the American people. Way to go man, much respect👍👍👍
Bet the guy has 5 kids....ebt and everything
We are all different and have different abilities. Most people on welfare are physically or mentally ill.
Thanks to the host Red Mary and specially to three friends, nice human showing respect for pizza guy, helping him from the core of heart. Love from India

good strategy since he parked opposite a liquor store.
How come? It's not like people are getting drunk in the liquor store
Bruh he went from selling 25-30 pizzas a night to selling 250-300 pizzas a night because of this video.He has a full food truck now and two ovens going at the same time and a few workers Good for him

That looks beautiful ! Cheers and thanks for sharing
I’ve been there a handful of times after watching this video, even just went the day before yesterday lol & honestly this pizza is TOP TIER! it’s so delicious & the workers are so cool and nice as well as elio himself! definitely would recommend 10/10.
It's gone down hill since he got the trailer.
As some one who has had pizza I can say that yes, this is pizza.
hmm
yes
the floor here is made out of floor
ÅŁMĪGHTŸ MĪKĘ I’m guessing you’ve never had real pizza? Only shit made in brick ovens and conveyor belts? It’s pretty easy to see what he means
Al Phuckya do you not understand that it’s a joke...
i don't even know these people, yet i already hate all of them.
(Except pizza dude, pizza dude is a god)
I don't know why i laughed so bad at the "pizza dude is a god"
Idk what it is but they seem so edgy like too much edgy 🤪
Bruh faded, baggy, acid washed jackets are dope af homie.
No, that chick is the type to go on Twitter and pretend to be offended about black face..
more than any other black person. I'm only 39 seconds in and had to stop to check the comments. Dude, she got up that morning and thought that was a good look. I could talk smack about her entire getup. Pizza dude is cool though. 😂

Kudos for Elio cutting this size pizza into 6 slices instead of lazy 4 or overcut 8 slices I've seen other Pizzaiolos do on youtube.
This pizza looks good😋 but dam id be scared about having that oven so close to my gas tank😂
No F's given
He should definitely find a better way before all his clients including him, blast away.
First time I seen it.
actually there is no gas tank, the truck runs on coal
There are mobile farriers who work out of pickup trucks btw
Every customer is a hipster with a burnt tongue
There money is good too
Stop judging their pizza by their customers :)
Lmao
Everybody in California is a hipster with a burnt tongue
I swear to god if I see this video posted another time
Yes, me also
I know what the heck
Hate street food , rather get regulated shit ,lil ceasars taste better than this crap

"One bite everybody knows the rules!"
1:41 my man wearing ftp mercy
Thank you Elio for finally putting L.A on the map for good pizza. We are not known for that but now there's hope.
This guy is going places... literally!
We're all literally going places
love this man, he is making a traditional Italian pizza. he beats all these chain pizza stores.
well thats because he focus on quality while chains store like pizzahut/domino and other have to focus on speed to keep up with tons of people ordering and leaving in about 10-15 mins
Love him, hate his customers who are "all, like, you know, amazing hipsters, like, we love, like parking lot pizza".
It's LA. That's every white person there.
Yeah man, I hate those picky eater, pampered liberal pussies.
but he wouldnt survive without them
@@greyk610 you are one crybaby in misery.
Hahahaha yeah
I *love* wood fired pizza, it's just the best way. That char on the base, mixed with the tomato sauce to balance it, the thin base. It's so good. There used to be a good truck I'd go to every Friday which served wood fired pizza and I love it every time, expecially the garlic pizza they make 🤤🤤
Yes it's a reupload. They forgot to translate Mr. Lopez for everyone who coudln't remember high school Spanish class. But now they did.
I didn't take spanish in highschool
not everyone in the world lives in america
uwu and it’s not only Americans that speak English
Wyberton Cubley that simply isn’t true for every Italian or Latino

I've lived in Alaska my entire life, and when I see these millennials wear beanies and hoodies in southern California, it just cracks me up lol. Also, those pizzas look amazing, wish we had more food like that up here in 907!
lmao, it gets chilly in places outside of alaska too
stop wishing. you need to put the dough in the fridge 3 days for cold ferment taste and texture and leoparding that 800 plus degree oven will give you. Use the best ingredients. buy a cheap propane pizza oven.
@@MrAdmiralKush in LA id definitly doesnt
You know, not everyone is acclimated to freezing weather, so when it gets 50 or 60 Fahrenheit, that’s cold to us.
Felicidades my brother,,, exhale Chingo de ganas y llegaras muy lejos, pronto visitaré Los Angeles para probar tu pizza!
wow... so authentic even the basil is a nice touch. $10 a pie I would buy 5 anytime
Giulio Personeni there is one in my town that charges 25 a pie
Giulio Personeni
Most delicious & high end pizza places charge $20-$40 per pizza. Crappy pizza like little Caesar’s is $5.
And I live in Los Angeles.
More money?
Reupload the video...
trippy cesar its because there are other better youtubers that actually puts work onto their channel yet they get little money however insider’s channel just reuploads the same videos and gets money for it. It aint illegal but its unfair for other content creators out there.
@trippy cesar no offense you are dumb
aaron estrera I’m pretty sure it’s against RUclips guidelines as well. Something about content farms that repulías and reuse footage
@trippy cesar Your offence doesn't even make sense, dude.
that money probably used for paying the employee wage, rent, electricity etc2
you watch this video for free right? but those employee are not working for free,
and you should be shame with your attitude, you assume that everyone will do a bad thing for money
Everytime I come across a pizza video, I have the urge to have some too so I end up ordering one!!
3:56 I hardly remember this guy but how do I know for sure this is the same person who pulled out the thermometer in the $1 slice video
