    I picked up a pie a couple years ago, it was awesome. First off, this is take out only, but you can bring your pie across the street to a bar and have a couple of beers while chowing down. The other thing is the oven; look at the arch that lets the heat go up and curl down the sides to the floor of the oven, the flow of the hot air helps to crisp the crust. I prefer a well done pizza with a crispy crust. The owner mentioned this oven was originally meant for coal, but as he explained, his father died at 57 and he attributed it to the coal dust and fumes. Many years ago, he converted the oven to gas.
    Anyone passing through on the NJ Turnpike, it's right off the Elizabeth exit (12??), it's well worth a detour. This guy is passionate about his craft, he deserves to be open 4 days a week and live life on his terms.

    This is the best one I've ever seen. Get this guy on my TV 24/7. I might need to travel 3,000 miles just to eat that pie.

    If I ever go to New Jersey you better believe I will eat at this place. The guy takes pride in his work, it's honorable.

    This was so enjoyable. Love to meet the owner. He is a man of substance - salt of the earth.

    These die hard Italians are such a fucking inspiration. What a people.
    All so proud of their family and their business (their father and mother and their sons and daughters) and the products they put out. Not every Italian guy is out there making pizza but that doesn't matter. No matter what they're doing they bring their A game and I love it.

    This is my favorite episode. Specially because of the oven shot.
