Love this guy and his business model.
Nothing but respect for the owner. He puts his employees welfare and his values upfront. 👍
I'M FROM BROOKLYN. ORIGINAL PIZZA MAKERS. AMERICA 🇺🇸 PAY ATTENTION!!! NOT TRASH ASS COMMERCIAL PIZZA. COAL OVEN. STRAIGHT OFFICIAL GAS ⛽️
@Jolly
This guy will always be in business also long as ye doesn't market to the general dysfunctional behavior population 😂😂😂🎉😂🎉
Okay, then beat any other ma/pop joint. Newsflash: your product sucks. Everyone would rather go anywhere else for anything else
America has been taken over by tech bro private equity
German owned over, Sicilians took over in 1940's…
That is LORE accurate
you find that 98% of employees aren't worth minimum wage
Oldest oven in Amerika 🫠
German ovens taken over in the 40s??
Brother this is all amazing
Private equity isn’t the enemy because it makes guys like this rise to the top. This dude will get an ROI simply because he’s not focused on it. Respect.
Oh man. Where is this in NY? Next time I go there I want to try this place. Love NY style pizza and everything New York. New Yorkers, have the best of everything especially cuisine.
The pizza 🍕 is burnt 🔥
What much are the pizzas
Damn that pizza looks outstanding!!!
The Germans built the oven… 👀
fElon should be forced to have a seat with this guy “opening of the Godfather” style and learn about not being a POS cheapskate.
This man isn’t a con and has all the right qualities you rarely see in successful, yet humble businessmen. That “Not everything needs to be an ROI” line hit hard and he MEANT it.
Lying fraud
The career wages are probably $20hr which isn’t even half of what it takes to get get by
Great foods!
Oh I know its good 👍
This guy is a legend I watched take documentary on him that shows how he literally lives in the back of the restaurant
Think about it. These ovens have been around for over a century! Yet you’re not allowed to build them anymore!
What’s their excuse? To dangerous?
I love the wood fire and the pizzas that aren’t burnt look AMAZING!
Love it.
Germans and ovens can probably be left out otherwise love your story and the pizza. Legit 🎉
💯
Tech bros 😂
I’m none of those things I just love making pizza. 🍕
Everything's expensive in New York😂
I miss good pizza but where I’m located there isn’t any whatsoever.
Man that pizza looks good
ROI is return of investment yes? Context clues here.
Imagine paying people a living wage so that they don't abandon you. Unthinkable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude burnt crust on all those pizzas. No thanks pal
Respect
That a bar now and they oven was found in the basement… with human bones in it… lived near by
Love it!
The Germans built the oven?
We know they're really good at that.
Those Germans sure know how to make an oven…😂
We NEED this is Bucks County PA. After living in Brooklyn all my life I was spiked from all the GREAT pizza. After moving here? Not so much. Help us!
Wack – Charlie Luciano started Genovese Family and they don’t have a Genovese sauce pizza. Such a miss. “Let’s make an Alfredo sauce…”
Looks real delicious 😋
