I’m not rich by any means at all, but instead of wasting money on something stupid for a week I could pay it forward to them and some lucky customer walking in

You can tell the owner was doing everything not to completely lose it. I’m sure his dad is looking down and proud of him

My former girlfriend gave me HIV and of course I had no clue. Idk why im telling some stranger this on the internet. I really don't. But it's crippled my health. I've made a total of 500$ this year, and if it weren't for foodstamps, I'd starve probably. Again, idk why I'm telling you this. I guess I'm just so mad over it all and when people like this man, who own a business and have their health get so upset... but it could be so much worse too. Even for me I know. I'm just so tired of being broke and without bc I'm too sick to deal. Thanks for listening to me rant.

This might be my favorite review. That guy was so genuine. After the army I worked in the food industry because I truly love to cook. I didn’t cook in the Army, I just loved too. So Dave thanks for helping people!

When the box opened, I let out an audible gasp. What an incredible looking pie. I gave it a 9.1 when that box opened, lol, but then there was some flop. Dave started to say, "I wish it..." and never finished. I think he was going to say that he wished it had more crisp, but he later said that it was "firming up" with each bite, so he didn't need to say whatever he was going to "wish" for. 8.5 is a Monster score, but just on initial box opening looks. that's one of the best pies I've seen. I hope this place gets absolutely mobbed from now on, they deserve it.

That pie comes out of a 900-1000 degree oven. It needs to sit for a minute. The heat creates so much steam in the box. Henceforth why it gets crispier after a minute... should have been an easy 9. Fuoco's pizza blows away Sally's and Pepe's in New Haven.

Im so happy that the owner got a monster score. You can tell by his energy that life has beat him down and he is a bit defeated, but this review should certainly rekindle that fire from within. And the pie? Easily one of the best looking ones in a while.
