I live in Detroit and I will literally travel to Philly this summer JUST to support this brother's business Down North Pizza. Seems like an amazing individual, a great owner, and I really hope they succeed. God Bless.
And thank you JL for promoting these types of businesses. You're the man
I miss my chicago pan pissza
Kudos to them for helping people bring themselves out of bad situations!!!
BLACK THOUGHT#1
Im not gonna front.I thought this was another pizza vlog like everyone else but its all better when its your own ppl 💪🏿
Black Love
💪🏽💪🏽
It don’t get no better than getting money with people you genuinely enjoy being around. Thanks for taking us into the kitchen. This was a great one! 🖤
😌..JUPE...OK..IGHT...you redeemed ya Biz...after that ugly RUTGERS misunderstanding...you in there..🤪
Appreciate you
Right?!
Tell me more about these honey butter biscuits 🍪
That is so true and doing what you love
I know Philly been off the hook lately, but I love to see stuff like this I still love my city. Shout Out To JL For putting a spot light on the city in a positive way
🐷..LIPSTICK ON SWINE...ain't never fine....say...WORD..!!...🙆♂️
🧐.. PHILLY IS THE NORTHERN VERSION OF BALTIMORE MARYLAND..
I know this ain’t this nigga Monty 😭
My wife and I love your channel and how you’re wielding it to help local business owners. Much love. Keep it up ❤️
Black Thought should be the very first Philly MC anyone ever says.
I just said that too.
Are you from Philly?
I’m sayin
@@DegraTrip I'm from Brooklyn, NYC. It doesn't matter where I'm from, I know Black Thought is a Legend from Philly, those other cats just played small parts in Hip Hop.
That's exactly what I said.. How y'all gonna mention best Philly rappers and not name black thought.. He so underrated it's such a slap in the face!
I just spoke to the owner on the phone...A very Respectful Brother....
Sure you did. Try harder to become famous on RUclips.
I called out of work about a month ago and it was definitely worth it. Grabbed a Yeah that's us and while the chicken was seasoned very well and the buffalo sauce was great, the dough itself stood out to me the most. Crispy bottom but the dough was fluffy as hell.
Now if I have to give a top 3 favorite Philly artist (because I don't care to compare who's better) I'm going:
1a/1b. Beans/ Black Thought (they can rap their asses off)
2. Philly's Most Wanted (They completely snapped on Get Down or Lay Down also in my top 10 favorite duos)
3. Peedi Crakk (dude was just unique as hell)
Brick of Raw was one of my favorite from the dvd era
Shout out to North. Doing y'all thing!!! Respect & double honors JL JUPITER. You keep us shining & informed of great places. Shukr..🇺🇸🇲🇦
U heard the athaan as his ring tone
🙏🏼💯
I read this in Busta Rhymes voice
Their food looks fire. Even when they were prepping the food it looked good. Shout out to whoever wants to give someone another chance especially when most won't.
🤥..errrrrrrbody don't deserve another chance...
@@darkchocolate6994 I don't believe letter profile people are real but I'm going to say this for anyone that wants to learn. Anyone who wants to change their life for the better or make amends at least deserves a chance for those reasons. Some people are forced to stay what they were because of never getting an opportunity.
@@Gator1DontPlayNoShit ...🤥..HOLY SOFT PETER !!...woe let's take it down a notch..some don't deserve a second chance to hurt..kill..or maim...Prison is not for rehabilitation...#factsonly.⏰
@@Gator1DontPlayNoShit ...🤷♂️..if you dont like what I said...don't go to jail...simple as that..👺
@@darkchocolate6994 you would think I called you out of your name the way you responded. I just stated my opinion I didn't know it would trigger anyone or the lack thereof for multiple post or an edit. I don't expect someone with almost 400 comments (bot like I said) on one channel to give anything other than a HOT take. Life, or the lack thereof gets better.
I hope the business does very well and keep y’all heads up and moving in a positive direction. Philly ❤️
These kings look like they are loving every second at work. Nothing but respect and admiration for these brotha's hard work.
When my daughter got out of prison, only one place here, a restaurant, would hire her. They loved her work ethic and customers loved her.
Shout out to Down North Pizza for it's mission providing jobs for prior inmates. I would totally support this pizza joint if I lived anywhere near it. All the pizzas look bomb!!!!😃👍
They lines be around the block everyday. We Ban Sal's in Philly we only eat Down North
I hope this pizza shop takes off for these guys and many more stores to open...I support their concept...Good luck and God Bless you gentlemen!!
Im from the D, so I support these bruthas to the fullest if they're making Detroit style pizzas...I pray them all the success in the world because of their hiring process and their pizza style... Respect
Much love to the D. Thanks for watching and supporting the platform 🙏🏼
@@JLJupiterTV fa sho good bruh... keep up the good work and im always at'cha... Peace
We need more jobs for convicts who want to change their life around and make an honest living for themselves. Much respect to this place for setting an impactful trend to be followed by many others.
I went here when I visited Philly for the first time two summers ago, great pizza, chill vibes, and of course the great story attached, glad I went.
props to these gentlemen for giving impoverished families fresh and quality food in a place where there isnt any. gotta support them when i get back to philly this summer

I am from NY but Salute to Down North Much Success !!!
Philly always has and always will have some of the best spittaz. Spreading love the Brooklyn way.
Salute from Philly bro I always said Brooklyn has the dopest rappers in hip-hop with my city coming in close second!!!
Wow! Proper Detroit pizza!
I’m all about giving former inmates a new chance and training in the culinary arts to succeed. I will be taking a trip from CT to Philly to try this place out! Thank you for making this video!
Was just saying the same thing! CT to Philly really soon
I get paid to get high on my RUclips channel & I’m invested in crypto #FuckAJob 💀
Thank you for watching and supporting the platform 🙏🏼
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 gotta support them for supporting the Community for real. Giving all those brothers a fair shake. I remember we had a Halal black owned Pizzeria in BedStuy on Malcolm X Blvd. When I was a kid.
Thanks for showcasing these guys Jup!!!! 😊💜
I think it's great to give somebody a second chance in life
🤥..2nd chances should not be for pedaphiles.....
I ❤ that they love what they're doing and having fun while serving the community. Philly represent!
I 👍 like your screen Name😁🐻
@@bluecollarscholarmelrosepa5673 Gratitude!
A wing on top of pizza , haha let's go!
Food looked great and the best part is the guys looked like they were truly into what they were doin, lotta love.
I love this idea, everyone should be able to get back to living a happy, fulfilling life after doing time. God bless you JL, love what you do for communities all over America and soon the world. ❤🙏
Swear I love this ❤ we need more brothers and sisters like this also we need more establishments like this in all communities time to give back and support each other period I hope this encourages others to follow there heart and support each other out here because we really cant do it alone .. In Service to others instead of just self

Inspiring mission. Kudos to them and to you for shining a light on them
Amazing message. Thank you for shining light in this wonderful place. This really shows how powerful this channel's purpose is.
The food looks amazing but what they stand for puts them next level for humanity. Texas checking in , much respect bruhs.
The story of everyone in the kitchen, and the love they have for each other makes this the best video I've seen, respect to you for showing them love and respect to them and all the best in the future with the restaurant.
JL love your contents.
Big props to JL for the exclusive content. The spotlight on these establishments is priceless and genuine. Only downside is the long lines after your video drops! 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Very impressed by these brothers. This is officially on my list of things to do this summer. BTW, Black Thought doesn't get a nod for Top 3? Is he originally from Philly?
BT one of the best ever. PERIOD. For him to not be numero uno on their lists... makes no sense to me.
Couldn’t agree more!! I was surprised that he wasn’t mentioned at all.
It's the group thing black thought is never looked at as being bigger than the group, it overshadows his talent but every Philly artist would name him so that's all that matters.
🐐..BIG WILLIE STYLE
And yes black thought is originally from Philly, he is from south philly....
I can remember as a kid in Jersey City NJ during the 60s telling the owner how good his pizza was.....he said would you like to meet the dude I said yes......He was a black gentleman making them......good old days.
After being a long distance ( coast to coast) mover for 30 plus years there is one thing I have to admit. The best helpers I had were always ex-con's . They were dedicated and diligent to do a good job and get it done.
COOOOOOLEST seeing BROTHERS pushing positivity hope and ConCore in society Jupiter Way My BLESSINGS from chi town chicago
Your RUclips channel is a game changer. Facts. I literally watch your videos back to back. Food lover and all about quality.
My top 3 fav Philly rappers: Black Thought, Black Thought and Black Thought.
Gotta try their pizza!!! Great mission!!
*Yall are appreciated more than you know, I just know* . *Good luck on blowing up even more* . *That pizza looks amazing the first minute and a half of pizza shots are so fire my mouth is watering* .
JL Jupiter, noone more real than you man. THIS is why I watch your videos. No matter how famous you get, you speak to the average Joe, like me. I appreciate you sir.
I love the support and spotlight you’re giving to the local businesses. My2 centers that aren’t worth anything 🤣🤣🤣 Top 3 philly rap musicians, Cassidy, gillie, and meek
Jl always look like he struggling when he takes a bite 🤣😂
What a beautiful thing! God Bless you and your cause!! You guys are doing a wonderful thing!!
I came in this video thinking it was just going to be generic advise, and it was but I needed to hear it again so it was very helpful so I dropped a sub just for that thank you.
I appreciate the production quality on your intro and outros to very well done.
This makes me SO HAPPY! And thanks for giving the Detroit style pizza some love. It's delicious. 🍕❤️❤️
Amazing video! Gotta love those who can love beyond themselves, offering a hand up instead of a hand out only. Everyone deserves a second chance but not all are willing to work for it. Shout out to those employees (and everyone else outside of this spot) who are putting in the work on their journey! New subscriber here.
I'd visit this place just off the strength of these brothers and their mission. Mad love and respect.
Not from Philly so I gotta give you my Chicago best three rappers of all time:
Common Sense, Twista, Kanye
This is like MR D’S Barber shop on 5th and cambria back in the day!! He only hired the one coming out of prison and the a lot of the guys have they’re own shops now!!!!! I respect these guys……thank y’all so much for helping our fellow brother!!!! 🙏🏽❤️
Man JL….I absolutely love your channel. This video definitely hit me. The love between these guys and the togetherness is amazing!! Uplifting is an understatement. Big up to you for showing this place some love and big up to them for inspiring.
They all seem like cool people to know... I could cut it up with them....that be a good time.... JJ... thanks...
This is so freakin amazing so proud of these men much respect from the Bronx ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I Love it! Giving "x-cons" opportunities How can you hate on that? plus the food looks A1! Everybody from Philly and from everywhere need to support Down North so this movement can grow!
Absolutely doing a fantastic job for the people
Salute to these brothers , many blessings ,
This one of the dopest videos, them brothers are friends helping with the restaurant. And no pork on my folk menu. Pizza looking like pure greatness! Shoutout to the owners helping former inmates. We need more like them.
Thing is bacon and pepperoni are pork unless that was turkey pepperoni and bacon but they never said it was or wasn't 🤷
Outstanding work with them fellas out in philly. The pizzas looks awesome.Peace and strength king
I’m from Detroit. I’m happy for them brothers! Next time I’m in Philly I’m gone check them boys out
People helping people 👍. You two are drilling down on what the city of Philadelphia should be all about. The City of Brotherly Love ❤️. Giving back to the community is what it’s all about. Keep up the great work gentleman!!!! Life is all about picking one’s self up dusting off and moving forward. Just realize that second chances normally only come once in a lifetime.
Thanks for posting this video bro, I pass the area all the time and didn't know they were there. Thanks to you bro, I will be supporting theme....
Man JL. Philly got the whip when it comes to food. I’m from Chicago but I am planning a trip to Philly, just because you have shown me that Philly is really in the house.

Everyone deserves a second chance. What an amazing idea and execution.

That crust thick is as hell
Thank you JL, we will be visiting from Delaware
Amazing! Great video.
Much love from Cali
First, I love your channel. It includes so many great things at once: Great food; terrific people willing to take a risk and go for it; great tribute to people of all backgrounds, and to the Philadelphia area; your wonderful marriage, plus friends and family. Great channel!!! Great tribute to entrepreneurship, hard work, success and capitalism.
Although I'm from the Philadelphia area (Upper Darby, just outside West Philly), I now live near Doylestown, PA. My free time is limited, due to work, and it takes awhile for me to get to many of the locations you review. However I'd love to support the type of restaurants you review.
Can you make some videos of businesses in my area??? Warrington, Willow Grove, Doylestown, Warminster, Chalfont, Lansdale, Jenkintown, etc. Thanks, and again, awesome channel. I really enjoy it.
Creator of the earth blessings upon them and their business always for helping those People in need
Great content. Really enjoy watching these. You have a gift. I'm gonna go look up Philly Rappers!
Good to see owners give people a second chance to not only straighten out their lives but also give them hope to learn new skills.
Yaaaaassss. Love this place. Detroit style pizza. Im living in Philly but from Detroit. Big upps to these brothas.
