It's always a joy to see people who actually have a passion for what they are doing. Not looking to get rich, they just wanna do their thing.
Well said guy
@@dannyn6036 Not really.
Rins K's point isn't that getting rich is bad, but having passion and therefore good product as a priority is good. No reason a person can't get rich from that.
As for the Invisible Hand of Capitalism, proponents and the originator ignore the effects of greed, concentration of capital, and income & resource disparity.
The other truth is that people on the bottom work their asses off too, to barely survive. The majority of hard work is not really rewarded.
I live pretty well btw.
😻😻😻
I totally feel you on that. Im a baker myself, i know it aint the most paying job but i feel such passion and pride doing what i do❤️
Danny Nguyen bro stfu
Milling flour in house is truly next level, especially for a slice joint. Props to Scarr!
And they make their own garlic bread. Not as a side but to cut up and use as croutons...
they milled it for the camera and when they first opened but now they buy it milled from upstate new york 20 seconds later.
@@Stoop_Kidd
Yeah. They mill it in house for small batches or when the situation calls for it, but they got so busy they had to outsource and find a company to do it for them to their recipe and specifications. People in the restaurant business do it ALL the time; it's VERY common. Prime example, in Chicago a lot of hot dog places just use Vienna Beef Dogs. Some other restaurants also use them but they give them a recipe to follow so it's their own personal blend just now being produced on a larger scale...
Milling flour in house is a financial disaster. Not only because of the machines and labour (people want to get paid believe it or not), but also because space is extremely limited in NY. Also the risk of impurities is very high compared to a professional milling company
@Gold & Diamond Mind Gold & Diamond Mind GMOs, CZcams, cell phones, the cycles are fuked now, and they're a lot more complex than we think
"I am going to make money regardless, I am not in a rush." - That is how winners talk.
truth
capitalism is a scourge
the reason why he can make money and take his time is because of capitalism.
@@gnulen Lmao. dude works like 11 hours a day at a business he started and makes max 60k a year. Capitalism is sick huh? :^)
Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than anything else. If you asked him, he would be very proud and satisfied with his business and hard work and he makes more than 60k - he owns one of the most popular pizza joints in NY. That some people make more money than him, doesn't mean his work isn't valued.
When in NY avoid chains and go to any hole in the wall pizza places like this - the rent and overhead is so high, they can not afford to make bad pizza.
Holes in the wall make pizza too?
typo fixed :)
They can’t afford it, however I can think of a dozen or more bad pizza joints in probably just my borough. Stick to what people from here recommend.
I always hit up Sbarro's for an Authentic New York Slice
Zykium Sbarro’s??! 🤦🏻♂️
He cares not only about the flavor, but also for the nutritional aspect as well. respect!
But I don't think making a pizza out of organic flour can solve obesity problem.
Separating the bran is unfortunately removing most of the benefits of whole-grain flour :/
Organic is used as a buzzword. Want to make a healthier pizza? Reduce the calories in it, or eat less of the pizza.
@@eagle1107flyer People decide if they eat a lot more than they need or not! They decide if they sit on the couch or go out to take a walk or whatever! Good ingredients are good for the body! Eating too much of anything can make you sick
This guy, and many others, do not understand the concept of calories. It doesnt matter if its whole grain or not, its still almost identical caloric intake
Went there last week because of this video. Best pizza I've ever had. Phenomenal crust.
I live in NYC, when it’s safe again, I will go to try their 🍕 as I LOOOOVE it 🤤
I live in Cali, super bummed I had to cancel my trip out there but when it’s good to visit I’m sooooooo heading there! Let us know when you venture out for a nosh and how it is! 👍🏻
I went to Scarr’s on Sunday, and WOW! I tried their Sicilian pizza (love thick crust 😍) and it’s the best one I have ever had! I will have to go back to try others, I’m sure they are goood.
ღ liliana maria ღ thanks for sharing! I’m so jealous! Will for sure make my way there once I can go visit. Enjoy! Let us know about the others! Nom nom! 😋
Lucky! Lol
If every single person that owned a business ran it like this man the world would be a lot better
scott gollahon so very true
scott gollahon no it won’t be because everyone would be the same
Like syndrome said if everyone’s a hero no ones a hero
Donkey What, the world would still be better place.
@@erikalbinsson4928 in the video its mentioned him growing up with nothing and working as a waiter at an original nyc pizzeria, and somebody mentioned in the comments he makes 60k a year despite working 11 hours a day just to keep the restaurant up. idk how true it is and if it is then it could just be his passion to do so as he mentions working on his interest in pizza for over 10 years, but despite that, it makes an interesting thought process that if everyone was to do this, could there be anyone to serve to?
the obvious response is oh thats just a theory that if everyone was a producer there would be no consumers, but you have to think about it, they are buying ingredients and making food products at a certain cost and selling them at a certain price to pay for the cost of those ingredients, what ever it is to keep that restaurant up, what ever product they need to keep making food, and have profit for people who work and himself etc. if i missed something.
the basic idea is everyone is being taken advantage of in some way and thus there are people who want some advantage back in response, they may not get a ton like the system they are held by, but they get more than what eventually becomes a consumer or the average consumer. the mass consumers are those who often dont get advantage and get taken advantage of for the profit of others and in order to continue gaining such a profit.
if everyone was looking to do this though, abuse a part of the system for some kind of advantage or self-benefit, then no one could be taken advantage of. therefore no advantage is made and everyone loses. however, they could also just work together or individually based upon themselves, rather than relying on others to be advantageous with-in such a system, they could individually build up their own farms (as we know them as for growing food in a particular area) thus making their own natural food to have and consume. in addition, with trade being a possible action, you could trade foods for certain other things (in this case probably of course food and especially different foods for somewhat even trade) and even build bonds that allow for free transactions as everything would be in abundance and of need. no currency or power possible.
he himself states making his own flour, some comments mentioned that it got so busy that it was impossible to create their own flour in time for preparing dough for orders and cooking, so they had to find a factory that would help produce the same flour with their preferred recipe but then you realize its with the idea of reliance. they can no longer make it themselves, thus they have to rely on a different producer or possibly known as supplier to produce for the lower consumers. of course this happens in various ways with previous mentioned items as well but it would probably be a lot of explaining and its just understood that there is different scenarios, different possibilities and different outcomes but it creates an infinite problem of needing someone to buy and someone to create, it ends up taking a tole on something which happened to be these consumers.
what ultimately became a great source of power is also its greatest reliance, but they also dont have much power except to consume or not to consume and never be able to produce for themselves.
imagine if humans naturally produced for themselves rather than to keep from others, take from others, and force a reliance for others or from others. there would never be problem and thus humanity would be a lot better due to an instant removal or elimination of some of if not the greatest negativity or negative thing itself. its possibly what politics and everything known by humanity relys on, the ability to abuse this notion to take control of others, away from others, and use control of others for yourself.
it seems at first that everyone has a choice, but why should that matter if what matters is the truth of it all. should you ever really have to have a choice? or did some negative force ruin the equilibrium to cause you to make a certain choice or else deal with a natural disadvantage? despite always being at a human-made disadvantage regardless your choice; as that choice doesnt determine your ability to gain power or prevent it all, but just take away any from others or rather be in control of theirs.
would it be better? it would probably just be a different scenario of the current situation as explained, but maybe making that action would create a physical experience which would cause a wise awareness to the situation, rather than let the force that creates such naivety that prevents anything from actually progressing continue or be even possible at all.
earth has everything that life upon it needs, but there are humans taking advantage of those needs to ruin life and the earth of life itself.
we are already in that situation but theres the possibility everyone tries to make a choice thinking its an action, but the truth is revealed and the ability to make that truth possible rather than what the force creates is what is true action. the action that is sought to make some such of an improvement.
And yummier
It's wholesome to see a genuine dude just doing what he loves
This video was great! I think my personal favorite part, was how he talked about when he was growing up and how the pizza guy was nice to him. Sometimes that’s all it takes is to be nice to someone.
exactly, be nice and when someone wants to rise up and learn something new, let them have their shot at it, don't push them down. you never know, they might run the best pizza place a couple years later.
Yes, pay it forward so we all do well
My favorite part was when he mentioned that he learned how to make pizza at Lombardi's which is actually the oldest pizzeria in NYC (1905)
Dude seems so humble and real and caring. I watch nothing but food shows and he’s one of the most inspiring people I’ve seen. Respect
“Imma fighter I grew up with nothing, when you grow up with nothing you learn how to fight”
If that didn’t hit you the way it did me man....
i grew up with too much but it's too late, now i'm lazy but i'm coasting...
"People aren't obese in Europe"
Me slapping my belly "Wrong".
There's isn't black people in Europe
Wrong: Eurofrica
Ofc we have our fat and obese people, America has 300+ million people 100ish million are overweight (atleast)
Now that is a big problem, literally. Americans all care about bigger more faster bla bla bla. Bigger isn't better the Netherlands is so small we fit 15 times in Texas alone. But we're still number 2 when it comes to agricultural export. And that's not per land size, or per person, just N2 period.
That alone should say enough about how extremely efficient and good our farmers are...Best farmers in the world and that's a fact. Imagine what we could do if we had a fraction of American's landmass...
@@davevd9944dude how did you go from talking about fat people to farmers
Fat people are everywhere but you can't compare getting fat on real Italian pasta or getting fat on Big Macs 🤣🤣🤣
Ciaoooooo from the ITALIAN FOOD BOSS! 💪💪🇮🇹🇮🇹
Is this how WW3 is gonna start ?
I remember his “Chefs night out”, this guy is dope!
He was also on Bon Appetit's Make Perfect, on Claire's episode.
@@recoil53 do you have the link?
That’s where I remember him from
Too bad folks past certain age don't really identify with the word "dope" in a positive way. May want to wake up, and realize this, unless you're only wanting to speak to 18-30 year olds. I mean yea, I can figure it out, but do I respect you when you use this kind of lingo? no, not really, it's hard. What does "dope" mean technically anyway?
Justified Life Why don you care so much? It’s a word
he's so enthusiastic
Born in NYC in the early 50's and left for the service in 72 and never returned. Back in those days my favorite pizza came from the shop in the Manhattan side terminal of the Staten Island ferry.
My mother in law sources her own wheat from local farmers and mills it herself and her bread is amazing. Full of flavor, texture, nutrient dense. There is certainly a correlation between wheat and health.
he seems like the chillest dude ever, lotta passion there
I love how close he paid attention to detail the intricacies in life matter the most. as a chef understanding food history and the impact it has in community. Knowing that when you start with the best ingredients you come out with the best results. Good work, boss.
Salute! I must try this slice. Real NYC ishhh
This guy is proly the most laid back humble restaurant owner I ever seen , salute bro
Hands down the best pizza in NYC! Just visited from Denmark. I really enjoyed the taste.
How would you know if you have not tried all the pizza places in NY. Just sayin.
Respect for caring about people and selling quality pie. Big ups from Canada
This is pizza in it’s purest form.
Scarr is a top guy. All that love he puts into making that pizza, and to sell it at an affordable price for everyone, that's incredible. That's what happens when you do what you love to do for a living.
I've worked at a few pizza places. Making pizza at restaurant scale is hard work even in the best of times. What this guy is doing is absolutely next level.
Nothing is easy in life bruh
Scarr’s is awesome - has that classic NYC feel but with a new school twist
Take my family there anytime we hit the city. Nothing like a Scarr pie before heading back to Jersey. Great video!
I loved this. Scarr's focus, integrity and his innate ability to communicate his passion. Great production from the Eater as well, giving Scarr the space to explain in his own words and be his own advocate.
Major respect to anyone that is so passionate about their craft
I want to go to America just try this pizza!! It's so awesome seeing genuinely passionate people who really care about what they're making. He has such a respect for the process and the people he serves it's so beautiful, what an awesome humble dude. 🙌
I went to Scarrs last summer! Let me tell you it was the best slice of pizza I have ever had
Nah
Pizza hut is the best
I have so much respect for this guy. He takes the time to learn the craft, make it as nutritious and delicious as possible, and charge a fair price. If I lived in his neighborhood I’d be a constant customer. Much love and respect man!
I love this man's humility...may he continue to have long lasting success! I'll definitely try you're Pizza when I go to NY
It almost always comes down to
the love of the job. This dude made pies out of heart and soul. He’s giving life and soul for good pies.
Man talk about hitting the grind for that perfect slice! I bet there's always people milling around!
Tell Ramon I said, hi!
Was only a couple of people when I visited. Good slice though!
Nice play on words! hilarious
lol r u gey?!!!!
@Tom Evers I choose to take that as a compliment! 😜
I LOVE when people who own restaurants are actually educated and are an expert in the cuisine that they serve. It makes the experience of eating the food that much better!
God bless this man. OG NYC remember them days?
U.S wheat contains whiteners, rising agents and dough conditioners that are found in industrial applications and are not healthy for humans. That’s why Europe doesn’t allow some American wheats.
You mean flour I think
All white flour is bleached...
This is incorrect. US wheat is hard red wheat, which usually has more gluten. And unless someone suffers from Celiac disease, then gluten is not an issue. the other difference comes from the difference in soil. Our has more selenium in it. Which is actually a vital nutrient. So while the dough at this restaurant may taste better than others here in the states, it's not because he is using a different and more healthy European dough. Btw I am a wheat farmer. :)
@@odeed so you have a bias and a reason to lie to us...
@@spl152db Or maybe I just have some knowledge on the subject and I am trying to share the information.
He so under rated this pizza really good
Scarr's Pizza and Joe's Pizza are hands down the pizza places in the New York. I've always gone there in the evenings and never have I ever seen a line shorter than 5-6 people. Sometimes it's longer than a lot of fancy pubs. The best part? A slice of heaven just costs $3 which I feel is a steal. Hold the slice in the air and stays straight for a good 5-6 seconds. I could go raving about it. But I've got to go ready and take a walk to get a slice...
Dude's the man! I love that laugh, too.
I love how much he laughs. He takes his food and health seriously, but he can still relax and have a good time of it
Makes you appreciate everything that goes into making a great Pizza. A true passion and craft.
His personality is truly a gem
when you come from nothing you appreciate everything!
This man is passionate about what he does. He clearly lives and breathes pizza.
‘When you have nothing growing up, you become a fighter.’ Bless him!
amazing guy..and the pizza looks incredible.
ITS TRUE ITS THE BEST PIZZA
Tom Evers Europe sucks lol
@@guruhkami nicr
Man talk about hitting the grind for that perfect slice! I bet there's always people milling around!
What part of NYC is it in? I live here and would love to give it a shot
@@DrHardlyKummsz Just search it up he has a dope website.... trust me this is the most epic pizza in all of NYC
this guy is super cool! I love his positive & funny vibes!!
It's always nice to see someone that loves what they do
I'm adding this to my list of restaurants to go and support once quarantine is over!
Me too!
"I have the best pizza."
- every pizza place ever
nah, i'm pretty sure there a lots of places where the employees won't eat the food they produce, because they know better.
This place is great. Have gone the last two times I’ve visited and will continue going
His smile and laughter make the best recipes
Im from Europe and I can agree wiht this awesome dude. Here bread, pizza, croissants etc are just part of our culture and diet and they are super healthy
Can attest, this pizza is amazing. This makes me wants to go back even more!
Wow i like him he's like a Easy Going person nice attitude! and Good Pizza Too
Thank GOD for this man.
Whoever chooses the music for these videos deserves a raise.
This guys coming for Lucali's head. Very passionate abot what he does. I have seen vids on him before, he's a real pizziolo, he's not touring other pizza for cheap tv, he knows wat works, I'd buy a couple of pie's from him. Great Vid. His granma pie is definitely paying omage to di'fara. It look great. Im gna stop by. Keep it up.
@Eros Delorenzi It's just pizza dude chill out
Scarr's one of a kind. I agree.
Now that is art, love and passion. The world needs more of that.
This guy is an artist
I need to go to NYC , tired of hearing and seeing all these pizzas! This takes the dough and enough is enough!! here I come NYC
Alex Delaney from Bon Appetit had this joint in his top 3 when he tried most of the New York slices in his vid
*DELANEY*
@@JerichoTheCity D E L A N E Y
i have so much love and respect for this man. keep on making them delicious pizzas!
Hey Brother, Thank you for all that you do, amen and Bless to you
I need to pay homeboy a visit!!
When I go to the NYC cant wait to go there!
What a legend! The passion this guy has is inspiring
What a humble dude.....much success to him
I like this guys “ I am not in a rush to make money, never had it before” just wants to provide good quality affordable pizza!
hes outpizzaing the hut this man needs to be protected
Great video. Love the care, pride, and enthusiasm of making a quality product AND caring for the customers and neighborhood. Can’t wait to go there!
my man deserves it so humble and real
Mills his own flour????...👏👏👏👏
All great pizza begins with a great dough. No way around it.
Anyone know of any great nyc pizza in LA?
Michael's Pizzeria - they use double zero flour
If you're from nyc, there's Grimaldi's near Manhattan Beach. It's the same one from ny, supposedly they bring the water in from there as well. If you want high end go L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele
in Hollywood. They originate straight from Italy. Super expensive but great.
@@davidoh709 Great. I was at antica pizzeria 3 weeks ago and even shot a CZcams video there. I liked it!
Rockstar Eater hahahah great pizza in LA? Good luck bro!
@@cokezzz8249 I found a good neaopolitan place, Antica Pizzeria in Hollywood, from Naples. I have a video of it too. I'm looking now for NYC pizza.
When the owner wants to give what he didn't have growing up, you know there's love, and that's the secret ingredient for amazing food.
This guy has great integrity for the pizza and that's what great pizza making and baking in general is all about
This place should 1000% be on your list when visiting NYC. It's hard to say it's the best slice in the city as everyone has different taste's, but there's no freaking way you could not like this slice.
i hate new york pizza i rather watch videos of Chicago deep dish
while eating Pizza Hut cuz New york pizza is stright up TRASH compare to Chicago
"when ya grow up with nothing ya learn how to fight" im from tx he's from ny but tru is tru my guy
This is that wholesome NY content to get me through winter
Love seeing someone having as much passion making a pizza as I do eating it. Awesome!
Respect, need to check this place out
"WHEN YOU GROW UP WITH NOTHING YOU LEARN HOW TO FIGHT."
I would love to sit with this man and listen about his childhood, the first ever pizza he baked and his life's philosophy while having his pizza!
Don’t make it weird
The guy who makes the effort should be rewarded. A niche market that's growing.
His laugh reminds me of Dr. Hibbert
That looks great, now please open another location in Philly!
I love the way he talks about growing up with nothing like it's an advantage, just something that made him sharper. That's the best of the US to me.
Amen. Life is all about attitude. He seems to have a great one
Huge Respect for Scarr. Shout outs from Costa Rica!
I live 10 mins away from this place. Might have to go.
Joe's Pizza
Claire was here on making the best pizza dough!
Really like this guys personality he sounds like a true New Yorker and truly cares about the people.
I like his laugh!!!!!! So contagious
Im stopping here when I head to NewYork mark my words.
Same.
I had a slice from here earlier in the year. TBH, it was just okay. I like a lot of sauce and felt mine was a little dry. But the crust was crispy & airy, not heavy. I think they drizzle olive oil on top, which is nice. Like most NY slice shops, they leave their pizzas out on display & heat them up when you order, so I could’ve gone on an off hour. Hopefully this place survives the pandemic. The owner obviously loves & cares about what he does.
i just want to be this mans friend, he just seems so genuine and nice.
This guy is a good human being!
