I really love it when Dave gives it a high score, it's life changing for these hard working people.
8.2 isn't that great. To anyone with common sense it means it's a B, and not even a B+.
@@hulksmash8159 8.2 from Dave is like 9.5 from anyone else
@@hulksmash8159 new here?
@@hulksmash8159 8.2 is a massive score. Forget the generous 7s he’s given out since COVID no average spot gets an 8
@@hulksmash8159 8.2 is amazing when 9.4 is basically a 10
Dave stunned into silence eating that cake was priceless...
it's an instant 9.4 if Dave is silenced, everybody knows the rules.
Homie got a food high 😂😂😂
Italy has the best desserts by far over any country, that's called family tradition recipe passed into America. I knew he was gonna shit his pant.
Knocked his dick clean off!
the music going along with it makes it so much better🤣🤣🤣
That saxophone hitting right after Dave takes his first bite of the cake sums up just how perfect this review is. Idk what it is about this one, but it hits different than the rest.
The seated review helps. I'm always stress-watching the pizza box when he's standing and swinging it around on a busy sidewalk.
@PhaedruS007 that's actually my favorite part hahahaha. Love the chaos. But this one is just different to me. So different I made the 3 hour journey. Place is legit.
@@martin1234512345and how was the hangover cake????
"I don't even want to eat this." *Gives the cake a 9.4*
You forgot the last part of his sentence lol
Made me laugh the way he said it
He was blown away! So great to see
A review over 10 minutes, you know it’s going to be good.
I’m gonna go get the papers, get the papers.
The three min ones are never special.
We needed this
@@MattShine11 and if they're in the 2 minute length it's a 6.5
10 minutes, everyone knows the rules
2 years later and the shot of Dave taking the first bite of the hangover cake, the trumpet and the zoom in. It’s all a work of art😂
The best 10 seconds CZcams has to offer... poetry in motion, captured through a lense, and a microphone...
I want to go here in the summer and recreate the whole vibe…, the heat, the music…and scooping my d*ck off the deck after eating the hangover cake.
This is probably the best review I've seen Dave give, he even admitted it should've been closer to a 9. It's rare to see the pizza man enjoy both pizza and dessert but want to jump right back to the pizza. It must just be that good!
I just picked up some defazios. This pizza is so good I literally cannot deal. And the people who own it are genuinely good people. So worth the wait!
Out of all the pizza places around here they definitely are not only the best but the nicest people ever!
Love them too. And I love verdiles pizza as well.
Prez worth 100M+ getting giddy over classic pizza joints 😂 man of the people
Dave only keeps it real
Why, would you stop eating pizza if you had that type of coin?
He worked hard to support independent pizzerias which were being destroyed by the lockdowns whole the government kept the big chains opened, different rules for small folks. Keep supporting the mom and pop businesses folks.
fuck the big chains, i have my pizza dude here in sweden. Amazing kebabpizza, a swedish special pizza its amazing.
@@eriksvonrosen267 kebabpizza e ingenting bror sverige har sämsta pizzan i världen
I have such a smile on my face. Seeing owners that have such a passion for their food just melts my heart. Now if only California had these pizza places I'd be in heaven. Still have to visit the one that was reviewed on Fairfax in LA
Which one was that?
@@mike88g1 it was across the street from canters. I think it was called prime
He loved it
Prime is great. Get the Sicilian.
Prime is really good. Totally recommend the Grandma there.
this place deserves a rescore in the future for sure, I've never seen dave look so satisfied and he knows it's better than what he gave it initially. this video was great.
I’ve watched this review 3 times now. Never been more proud of Troy. He’s not kidding, it’s incredible pizza. Totally worth the drive. It was already extremely busy, I can’t imagine what this review is going to do to their business. If you plan on going, call ahead several hours in advance. Seriously.
already an hour wait for pick up during the week. 2 hours on weekends!
I'm from Albany, born in 71 got alot of people in Troy.. Graduated from Colonie High in 89'.. Moved to Atlanta in 99' Been here in Florida since 14'.. Troy always had some bomb as* mom and pop restaurants, especially pizza..Makes me wanna fly home..Down here u always see "NY" style pizza..But they just don't know!!!.For some reason when I hear Troy, I think of Green Island, back when the bridge collapsed..Go figure, if your 50+ and from the capital district you know what I'm talking about 💯💯💯💯
@@dnoon1386
I was in Troy when the Green Island Bridge collapsed in 1977. I was 14 years old and watched from the old city hall.
@@kurtvonfricken6829 One of those things you don't forget.
I'm 10 minutes away from this place and have never tried it, hopefully I can get in tonight
This was one of the best reviews I’ve seen in a long time. Good stuff Prez…
Definitely in the one bite re-watchable loop.
This is Anthony Bourdain level of review
No. He underrated the pizza. He ate it too hot.
@@bmwforlife6951 Well obviously 🙄
1:16 camera man did the Grandfather wrong here. Looking like Tim the Toolman Taylor's next door neighbor peepin' over that fence 😆
This place crushes. Glad to see you make it around the Capital region this year Pres.
Not hating on that pizza, I'd smash that but I've seen pizzas like that get a 6.8 from prez for being too greasy. Like I said, that pizza looks amazing to me but from what I've learned after watching 100+ pizza reviews, that pizza's too cheesy/greasy for prez's taste.
THE FRENCH LAUNDRY....is the Napa restaurant!
@@wujujuju defazios is too cheesy for me usually and bread is doughy. they got homemade sausage though, the crumble, insane good. the white clam sauce pizza is banging too. as is their pesto pie. but yea cheese and dough makes the slice
@@Xr3737 Albany area pizza is generally crap...the area is culinary wasteland.
@@wujujuju The crust made it unique.
The owner looked so proud and happy to tell Dave about the way they rise the dough. Great stuff
This hands down is one of my favorite reviews...Rocco has a genuine likable personality... His love of his food, neighborhood and family traditions is so authentic. I love when he passionately describes the bread dough crust. I'll def make the trip from Jersey to try this pizzeria.
Hes kind of a dick tbh
If that place defines American family , court me in !
Seriously brought tears to my eyes , best review ever !
haven't seen much of these reviews have you? He has plenty of amazing ones.
Are you related to Corn Pop?
Was he a bad dude??
Brooklyn Square was better.
Okay now....ok..
Doesn’t know 1 fancy reasturant lmqoooooook I’m crying
“I haven’t eaten it and I already wanna score it”
That’s what Dave said first time he met Debbie.
Lmaooooo you’re wrong for that
That was his first bar pie.
Shit flopping around too
@@bloatedsodium7301 lmao
Lmao man that has me dying
Dave! You have to do this all over again. This deserves more, you know that. Everybody knows the rules. And the game has to be fair. Come again, let it cool off a bit and score it again. It was an 8.7 or more.
For anyone wondering about the trumpet music that starts once he tries the cake, it’s The Very Thought of You by Chris Botti.
Bless you
It’s rare to see Dave sit at a table!
He was getting tired of the pants comments.
Rare to see dave not say nothing about the flop and try to hide it
He's still wearing the elf pants. You see them at the very end.
He should have a pop-up cruiser table and bar stool (provided his cameraman wants to lug a cruiser and bar stool around : ) near the entrance of every restaurant he visits (and the cruiser should have a fitted red and white checkered tablecloth). This would give him time to shoot the shit (we all want to hear it) while a thicker than normal pie has time to cool down and temper. And when ordering, he should let the line cook know that he likes a crispy crust. Just saying.
@@brucelawby3140 no
Obviously we couldn't taste it, but as soon as you opened that box, I knew that was one of the most beautiful pizzas I have seen. So glad you proved my hunch correct Prez.
This is hands down my most favorite review ever. I don't care about any place that's scored higher - I MUST go here. Bucket list shit.
I don’t even care about pizza that much but I love watching people like this owner who just CARES and puts thought into what he’s doing and makes sure people have the best experience possible. Dave did a great service giving the owner a chance to share the family history too. I wish this place nothing but the best
These are the absolute best! Props to Dave.
Could be doing anything he wants but still loves the grind. This is why I can't stop my monthly donation.
Keep pushing 🐐
Loves to grind up his adderall....
@@diagnosedtopg7657
Good, doing more work than most.
@@diagnosedtopg7657 he’s changing lives while you’re hating on CZcams. Sit this one out, I know this might sting a bit.
Remember Jesus loves you
@@chasefreeman1136 I'm not sure I understand. He clearly doesnt hide the fact that he uses adderall so it's no secret. Stay in your lane kid, and remember your parents split because of you.
I think he is doing exactly what he wants.
Should of been a 9.2 the way he was talking it up.
@@GetOffMyPhoneGoogle lol, seriously. Everyone knows he's going to shove it in his gullet as soon as he walks out the front door (or takes a seat in this case), so they should just hold on to it for like 7 minutes so he doesn't burn himself and give a lower rating.
Exact score I was expecting too!
He doesn't give 9s anymore. You gotta think of his scale as 1-9 instead of 1-10
@@sdfdf46 that's true.
@@GetOffMyPhoneGoogle wut
I love it when Dave gets truly and honestly excited about a place that he reviews!
Dave's ability to get along with all different kinds of people while being worth a hundred million dollars never ceases to amaze me.
In the end people are just people and you can’t forget where you come from.
@@brendantaylor3570 Lots of people do though.
I'm sure if you spend enough time with him the rich dbag comes out.
@@jimduggan8962 Never heard anybody that's aftually met him in the streets say anything bad about him.
@@SouthernSkeptic Yea thats meeting him on the street. I'm talking about spending an afternoon with him. And there has been times where he comes off like a douche to people who come up, maybe sometimes its deserving. People in comments usually say its him being "alpha"...another term for douche.
As a local I've never been more proud of Troy lol
Mmmmhmmmm so glad he hit DeFazios
To be fair, it doesn't take much.. We are talking about Troy... Lol
For what it's worth, I am very happy for Rocco and the family for being recognized in this way... It is pretty cool
I live by Troy and place is fucked
I consider AP local to Andrew 😂
When Dave is eating the cake, the song in the background makes it all the better. Chris Botti with Paula Cole- the very thought of you.
I got chills from the cake review. Never happened before.
Thought that was Chris at the start, too!
Thank you kind sir.
When he took a bite of the cake, the camera zoom, the trumpet, the silence. I can actually taste how good it was. Spectacular. Would definitely go if I lived near it.
I come back to watch this review from time to time. It’s so good and so in depth. I’m not a cake guy but even I want to try that cake!
Dave, the last American hero. Saving small business wherever you go, god bless you buddy! You are the real Pres!
Let’s get one thing very clear here. Dave’s a great guy and I love his videos. I’m sure he’s saved a few business’. This is not one of them… one an average dinner rush it’s an hour and a half wait minimum. This place is set in stone.
@@scorpionsson7087 I live near here and your right this place is always packed
That place is a 8.7 for sure. Went last time in Troy! Legit super chill
I loved this episode! It was wonderful! My favourite one now. What a wonderful father and son team running the place, fantastic.
I went here today and all the people in this video were working. What an incredible place. My girlfriend and I were on vacation all week and ate at a bunch of really top notch places but this was our favorite meal of the bunch. So good !
The best pizza in the 518, me n my father were born 5 houses away. Little Italy section of Troy
i lived at 306 4th (Merola). a shame the neighborhood changed so much
He took one bite of that cake and you already knew it was the best cake he’s ever had.
Every once in awhile I will come back to watch this pizza review. Entertainment at its finest 👌🏽
It’s great to see such fine old eating establishments that have staid the course and remained open! Such a nice history lesson for all of us. Thanks Dave!
"Last man standing" sank my heart a bit. Everyone knows that's not a good thing.
fast food chains killing real food
This place will never die: they are disgustingly busy every night.
Enjoyed this review , you can tell Dave is really passionate about good pizza and the people who make it. 🍕
Wow one of my favorite reviews ever. Something about it was wholesome without being over the top.
This is just BRILLIANT to see the happiness!!! You can't make a review any better!!
I know when a review is over 10 minutes long, its gonna be a gem. Great review
When we first immigrated (legally) to US from USSR we first lived in Troy, NY then we moved to Cohoes for a few year before we moved to West Coast. I miss the Upstate, its nature beauty and people!
I wouldn’t come back the Albany, Watervliet, Troy area is bad now
did you root for Rocky or Drago?
@@tyblicky6595 why?
@@georgeskanderbeg3242 high crime
@@tyblicky6595 not all. parts of South Troy got rough (too many renters), but much of downtown is really nice now
Been planning a return trip to New Haven in 2022, well not I'll be making a 2 hour drive to De Fazio's. That place looks like magic.
Loved this review.
The vibe there sounds and looks so cool...
One of the best reviews period. From the heart.
I love these
Reviews with the owners giving a backstory of the area and the restaurant, fascinating history!
I’m an RPI grad class of 2000. This brought me back. We used to get delivery all the time. Late night slices after visiting the ladies at Russel Sage.
u say that like there's no women at rpi
@@Xr3737 did you go to RPI?
nope, just local. hence the sarcasm.
@@Xr3737 so you know, ha!
i came back to this review just for fun
one of a kind, im surprised is not at 1M views yet
anyone has an update on the place?
I love the string lights and trumpet music in the background, it really adds to the aesthetic of the overgrown garden look🏡
My hometown!!!! Born n raised in Troy NY. Nice to see a long time Troy NY business get recognized.
Finally caught Dave with coke on hand
Adderall and Coca Cola combo, everyone knows the rules.
Quality review. You're changing lives man!
Tried to eat here last night was a 6 hour wait for pizza. It's crazy how much you change a businesses life
I went to this restaurant because of this review last year. You wouldn’t believe how amazing it truly is.
If I’m not mistaken,back in the 60’s--70’s De Fazio was a small grocery store,mostly Italian products
Josephine would cook the specialties,when you entered the place...........the aromas were unforgettable!
I think they still have a small grocery store by the pizza plcae
exactly...back when the majority of the neighborhood was Italians and Italian-Americans. i lived a block south of DeFazios next to Dichan's meat market. made a daily trip to DeFazio's
This should have been one time he should've allowed himself to change the score
Much Love from Albany NY! Grew up stopping in this place all the time during childhood bmx shenanigans
Watched you every time from Central America, and have to say this one has to be number 1 after lock down edition. Great vibe
Know what I like about Dave? He treats everyone the same. He's a real grounded dude and it's refreshing to see it in someone who is both rich and popular.
This might be the best PizzaReview so far! And I've seen evry single one. Dave you're THE PIZZA GOD!!!
NAH , WHEN THE GUY GRABS THE CHEESE AND TOSSES IT IN THE BAG
This one and the one when he’s in LA and gets a bar mitzvah
Frankie’s subtle zoom when he took the first bite of cake was pure cinema
man this really deserves more views, truly one of a kind..
I hope they are blessed with enough success and loyalty to keep it up and running for generations.
I assure you they are extremely busy every night before this review. I’m actually said they are blowing up this much for selfish reasons 🤣
@@scorpionsson7087 good to know hey if it keeps your place extra open even better but I feel for ya with the wait you will have to endure. I just imagine what was lost on that block for good food. When a place that is amazing and local when you lose it that forever sucks. So I'm glad to hear it does well.
I drove an hour and half for this today. Absolutely worth it
Quality review!
Feels good!
Felt like the older reviews even if it was different
Love the chilled out jazz in the background. Kinda made the review better
OG in the background getting his Mack on, respect
Lol!
Hands down best pizza in upper HV. The owner and his kids are an absolute pleasure. The owner came out and spoke to us for 30 minutes, all good souls. Hour from us but worth the ride. The hangover cake had just come out, of course. We had to try, amazing!!! If u live within an hour or so, go.
Loved this place and review so much I’ve watched it 3 times in a row. This is definitely on my to do list even though I’m in the U.K.!
Great Review Dave!! What a great story and family and great pizza and cake and love when they have a garden sitting area outside !!
I’m so glad you’re doing reviews around Albany right now. My wife and I just moved to the area and are looking for our next favorite pizzeria. We moved from Syracuse area and always went to Paladino’s in Mattydale, we really enjoyed that place.
Go here when you can, the last decade or so DeFazio's has been my spot. It was busy before and I'm sure it's mobbed now, but the pizzas are always unbelievable.
Defazio’s is standout pizza. Everything on the menu is good.
If you get a chance to get Defazio’s around st Patrick’s day the Reuben pizza is out of this world. Corned beef flat and rye crust.
Savrano in Albany is also amazing. Get the zucchini and tomato pizza.
Purple pub is also a great hole in the wall family run place. Dine in if you can. It’s only really good hot and greasy!
@@Whit1800 Purple Pub has shut down now unfortunately. The kids didn't want to continue the family business. My parents grew up going there and I would often stop there for a pint after stuffing my face with Gus's Hotdogs.
As gritty a guy Dave comes off to be you can tell he genuinely loves the people and cares for the people who work at all these restaurants. You can tell deep down he’s a sweet dude
Will have to go check these guys out, looks delicious. Only half hour away. Thanks for all the great reviews dave. You are the man- Legend-
You're fulfilling my barstool pizza fantasy Dave. Thank you
The Prez sitting down and eating the entire slice slowly, you know it rates up there!!👍🏻
One honest review from the Troylet, everyone knows this guy's business is going to be booming after this video gets around!
i live close by and have never heard of this place so i deff plan on getting this for dinner tomorrow night. going to be an insane wait i bet but i dont care lol
The place is already booming...I live a block away, and it is already an hour wait during the week! That is before this!
Yup, already booming! 2 hour wait for pick up on weekends!
thing is if they make good food they dont really need any help if theyve been around, its only a father and his son, you can only prepare so much food in a day.
this is the best review. the look on Daves face after that cake is priceless
This might be in my top 3 favorite reviews of all time
Easily one of the all time great reviews purely because of how much that little family restaurant blew him away. Nice work Pizza Man
That place is gonna be packed!
that cake bite was cinematic
the head tilt, the eyes closed, the music on cue, dramatic pause,..."that's a nine four"
After I saw this the first time, I immediately put it among the top 10 on my pizzeria bucket list. I love pizza THAT MUCH!
This was Art. What a beautiful restaurant.
Pizza looks outstanding
Dunno why, i love these reviews... or maybe I just love your personality and honesty
Wholesome Dave cracks me up 😂
It’s like sittin next to a warm fireplace right now
Heavy Troylet vibes coming from the pooled water on the tables and chairs and the stringed lights. Gotta love it though.
You know someone knows Troy when they break out the Troylet. Just a shot up 787 from Smallbany.
I’ve never wanted to travel from the UK for pizza like this before.
What a warm fantastic review!
The music goes so great with that cake bite….classic
Greatest review this whole summer! Bummer he rushed the first score, sure seemed close to a 9.
Easily one of the most comfortable, laid back and enjoyable reviews he’s done. No stress at De Fazio’s, everybody knows the rules.
Love ya Dave. Appreciate all you do. To your continued success. 🍕🍕🍕
I’m coming from tokyo to visit this spot if Dave recommends it so strongly.
South Troy Against The World
Came for the pizza, stayed for the cake
