00:00Pizza is the healthiest snack in the world. It is like the dough is around for like millions of years people have having dough cheese
00:07What's up guys today we are in Manhattan's East Village on possibly the coldest day in history
00:34I'm talking single digits, baby
00:37But don't worry. We're about to heat up with some pizza, but not your average pizza
00:42I'm talking double stacked pizzas two pizzas in one slice. It's insane
00:47Super cheesy pepperoni packed garlic knots wildly cheesy calzones
00:51Probably the best buffalo chicken pizza I've ever had we're hitting up the one and only East Village pizza and meeting up with the owner
00:57Frank if there's one guy that lives and breathes pizza. It's this guy. Let's go check it out
01:01You ready? Let's do it. Come on. Let's do it
01:08Okay, that's my baby dough. I like playing with my baby dough
01:17Now this is the double stack of first layer now we're gonna add the buffalo chicken
01:22There is no sauce at this first layer
01:25You don't put any pizza sauce normally buffalo chicken doesn't have a pizza sauce
01:29But any kind of double stack has no pizza sauce in the first layer and there is a reason for it
01:35And that's a secret. I won't tell you that
01:38Fried amount of cheese just a little bit. This is just a pizza by itself. Just one pizza, but now we're gonna make it double
01:46Now the uh this layer has the pizza sauce whatever you're gonna add i'm gonna make the pepperoni
01:56I just have to put the pizza sauce cheese and the pepperoni
02:03Like you're making an art like a painting picasso it is pizza making is art actually
02:08So it is important actually to choose the right mozzarella and the pepperoni
02:13I really hate when pepperoni pizza has like three pepperonis on a slide if I see a single spot empty on the slice I get mad
02:23Look look at this I call this double stack you call it double salad look at this beautiful now
02:29It'll take probably 20 minutes to cook
02:37Classic new york style the classic to get the the taste of the new york style pizza that actually comes from 150 years before
02:46You need experience for that the taste the texture and the way you make it including the oven
02:53There's an experience and I love my
02:59This village pizza actually was here opened in 1997. I did delivery
03:06by bike and I washed dishes making boxes prep speak no english
03:10Probably I could say at that time yes no and uh like can I get a cigarette that's it
03:16I didn't even know what pizza was I never had pizza in my life
03:20My first slice of pizza that I had that was here. I'm a talented guy see I told I tell this story make pizza cook it
03:29People ask me how did you make it like one day you just wake up and decided to make double stack pizza no
03:36I spent time in my kitchen I play with my dough I always said I play with my dough
03:41You ready for the slice please?
03:51Yep
03:52It's not that I'm happy because I'm happy because the customers are happy because they
04:11really like after six months that I start working here I got fired experience prep
04:35guy downstairs he made a mistake and I told him this is not the way we should
04:40make it the dough is something wrong with the dough I don't even make prep I'm a delivery guy he sent
04:45me home but he was a nice guy he was a really nice guy the boss so kept looking for a job I was like I
04:51need a job I desperately need a job I walked door to door to the pizzerias I ended up finding a job
04:57on mcdougall street on west 3rd the best pizzeria I learned from John on mcdougall street I learned
05:03how to make pizza and I learned from him how to create a recipe but I learned how to run a pizzeria
05:10from domino's what I learned from domino's is a professional way to run the store this is what
05:16happens when you talk and make pizza ready for the buffalo chicken oh my god this is heavy
05:23I really want you to listen to the crunch on the buffalo chicken pizza quiet
05:31that's my buffalo chicken pizza
05:52that's my buffalo chicken pizza
05:54it got broken because there's a lot of stuff in it look at this it's really magic to carry this
06:05tin dough this much stuff
06:10oh very hot
06:11a little bit of cheese this is ricotta goes in the middle of mozzarella cheese very little of more
06:29cheese just a little bit and now I have to cover it because we call it calzone just like that
06:39I have to punch it a little bit I walked domino's pizza for almost two years year and a half I managed
06:47the place my brother was working here at the whole time and even when I got here he got here before me
06:54so I heard the place was on sale I pushed my brother look this is a chance that we could do it
07:01this is a chance that we could do it if we don't do it we're not going to have any chance like this
07:04because it's a ready to go store at least I know how to make pizza and I know some running a pizzeria
07:09so at the end of the day he said okay let's do it he listened to me he's always saying that thank
07:14god I listened to you cheesy calzone I didn't know like I was going to face a lot of hardship
07:21hard times after we got the store because we I started working more than what I used to work
07:26it was not saying pizza I changed almost everything I changed the pizza sauce I changed the pizzas the
07:32recipes the cheese I changed the cheese I never stopped uh thinking how do I get it better I never
07:39stopped working hard I always was on top every day when I got here when I was working I was like
07:45what should I do to make a better pizza how what I can do better to reach more people because
07:50making a better pizza or really good pizza is good but one thing that really important you have to
07:57know how to sell it so that's a long story let's make it short that's the easiest calzone ever look at this
08:10hydration level look at this fermentation that's my baby doll I try to find new things like what I can do
08:19better Instagram came out instead of using my personal pictures personal photos on Instagram I
08:26start adding pizza pictures and even my friends were like Frank what are you doing what are you doing
