One guy who deserves everything that’s about to come his way, everyone knows the rules

[@irollerblade13]

Looked like an amazing pie.

[@travisduffy8921]

^this comment.

[@RBS314]

If you live near this place, patronize them! Wish I lived there.

[@jdawg9137]

He's got a pic of Uber Debbie on his wall, bro already has everything!

[@jaybell7423]

Can’t wait to try it, that pie looked banginnnngggg !!

[@goodreligion316]

That was one of the most humble guys Dave's ever met. Glad he got that killer score!

[@SamHaberONE]

Taste is personal preference and subjective, people being good people is not.

[@pizzaearthpancakesandother2549]

Not to mention the HOT LADIES OF FUOCO! Mama Mia, I wanna slice of _their_ pies!

[@deenzmartin6695]

yup

Well said Sam Haber

[@Anbesa13]

George is the man and a true pizza man. He grew up in the business and is a master of his craft.

[@archnemesis0513]

His dad opened the pizza box, everyone knows the rules. Much love for this mans family and story.

[@jameschenard1386]

Nice take

[@karmatt3098]

Very sweet interpretation. That pizza looks amazing.

[@85geoffm]

Had to make it firm up at least a little bit to get it into the mid-8's.

[@AlainCorona]

Pops still looking out for his son. This was a win for the good guys.

[@genocrisp6689]

I grew up with his middle brother… papa sure showed up that day…. Plus the pizza is outrageously good! I personally give it a full 9/10 but I’m biased

[@Legitnish]

Dude has been through probably the hardest time in his life. You can tell how genuinely appreciative he is. If you are in his area please go support his business, not only does the pizza look amazing and got an 8.5 from the prez, but he seems like a humble dude who deserves it.

[@THEG0D0FC0D]

I live right near this place and can confirm since this review the place has been packed, definitely well deserved

[@orlys54]

Went there yesterday I’ve eaten Pepe’s , Sally’s , and modern. This one tops them.

[@jeffgrubin1874]

I live within 20 minutes of this place, will definitely be going soon.

[@moribundcrux]

I love the fact that he waited to tell the story until after the review as to not effect the score. This guy was so cool. I wish I lived near there

[@gfriedman99]

Would have gotten a 9+ if he gave him the tour beforehand.

[@thomasrainbow]

Yeah that's one humble hard-working mfer. Inspiring.

[@bryanziemski175]

[@Buddahmonk]

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

[@kraymond9346]

I've been friends with the owner for a long time . We've lost contact over the years and reconnected about 2 yrs ago and what he's gone through the last couple years makes this moment and video more amazing then you guys know. This is a hardworking humble grateful man who deserves this more than anyone

[@mountaineerpaultalksfootba4782]

Man. I'll tell ya...while I don't doubt for a second he's gone through it. I'm sure he has... he looked extremely grateful. What I've gone through the past couple years has just about killed me too. 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.

​@@mountaineerpaultalksfootba4782 You keep fighting brother! But you always remember to remain humble no matter what you are going through and don't ever down another man who has more than you, especially one who has worked hard for it. That is not honorable and I know that is not you. Just a thought to keep yourself and your own terrible things in life and check with you. We all have individual experiences in life and quite often They suck. But that isn't the doing of any other man and for all the tragedy and pain I have gone through in my life, I blame no one else but dumb luck and a few bad decisions trusting the wrong people along the way. It happens. But be happy for others when they get theirs my friend, otherwise no one will be happy when you get yours. And I'm quite confident you will end up getting yours in the end. I've got mine more than I ever deserved, nothing glorious but everything I needed and some things I wanted. Be grateful for whatever the hell you have my friend. People are losing it hand over fist right now

[@ts9576]

I'm from Cheshire and lemme just say, it definitely is an awesome Pizza! If you ever come to CT for any reason definitely recommend!

[@davidweeks4006]

I said in another reply that I can’t wait to try it especially living in CT a small state that is less than a 3 hr trip end to end. For a driver like me even less😂. I also said I’m so moved by the humbleness of this man that I might order a pizza and tell them to give it to the next customer who walks through the door… I truly want to help them in anyway I can. 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

[@tomisapoet]

You have to love it when the review means that much to the owner. You're out here changing lives Dave!

[@lousekoya1803]

That was a great one and all the best to the owner from Quebec !

You're a good man, Dave. You speak the truth. I'm a disabled veteran and homeless, but I get great pleasure in watching your videos, my brother.

[@steveshoemaker6881]

That was an incredible looking pie. The owner is clearly a humble guy who has had a tough time recently. The staff all look soo happy to be there. This looks like a perfect pizza joint with amazing product. I will make the ride down there from where I live about 3 hours away to show some love. Great find Dave!

Just went there today. The hype is real. Fantastic crust and as Dave says it gets better with each slice as it cools a bit.

[@skoolynugenator1802]

Nothing more epic than a passionate pizza creator. Much respect!

[@Dial_J_for_Josh]

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.

[@GoodDayYall]

Love when Dave rushes to take a bite before it has a chance to flop. Does it when he is rooting for it to be great

[@Hereregoagain]

I watched this in Christian’s perspective while Dave was eating it like “Dad he took three bites…DAD HE ATE THE WHOLE PIECE…DAD HES HAVING A SECOND PIECE!!!” What a video, what an owner, the Uber Deb reference really rocked. Lived a town over from here my whole life and can’t wait to try this gem of a place!

[@timlong3857]

Dave I have seen every review for the past few years. Never commented. Just gotta say this owner knows what your review can do for his biz and has been through some tough times. Awesome what you are doing for some of these small businesses! Also, when you hit a 7 or higher you should always ask to see the oven. That shit is good content and cool to see different set ups… that idea is free lol. Good stuff

[@howarddemorro2196]

Went there tonight for the first time ever because I couldn’t make it down to Elm City to Modern. Definitely was worthy of an 8.5 🤙 Even though it’s in the block radius of 3 other pizza places…by far the one worth going to. In the words of Arnold “I’ll be back.”🤙🍕❤️

[@erikmerkle]

This man was so excited to see Dave, but he didnt wanna influence him with a story or anything before he got a score, he just handed him the pie, thanked him for coming, and told Dave to do his thing. Then when Dave came back and told him his score, thats when the man thanked him and give him the tour and history of his craft. I fucking love this man. He was so goddamned humble... You could tell this man felt like he had the world on his shoulders, and when Dave gave him the score, he felt like something was finally going right for him. Everyone should check out Fuoco Pizza!
