00:19 Well, we know all right. It's not your style.
00:22 No, no. It's middle of the road for me style.
00:26 Yeah.
00:27 All right.
00:29 All right. Pizza review time. I love those guys in there.
00:32 Like, I just fucking love them to death.
00:34 Sal's Pizza Company, 5 Hanson Road, Algonquin.
00:37 Seems like a pretty cool town.
00:39 Like, came in, they have a little stuff on the river.
00:41 Those guys, super excited to see me.
00:44 Patrick, my buddy was texting me yesterday.
00:46 He's like, I was telling Dave to come.
00:48 Yeah, I was on the trip.
00:49 No way. This is crazy.
00:53 Oh my God, dude.
00:55 Wait, no way.
00:56 I can't wait for you to taste it, man.
00:58 Me too.
00:59 I never doubted that.
01:00 I'm like, we're in Algonquin, right on the side of a fucking liquor store.
01:05 I'm like, there's no way.
01:07 Are you?
01:08 We put in the research. We put the time in to find the best spot.
01:12 There it is. This is as traditional as Chicago gets, right?
01:16 The pan, the guy in there, he's like, I know what you're going to score.
01:20 I know what you're going to score.
01:21 So we'll see how close he is.
01:22 I was telling my wife, I said, because my buddy texted me, he goes, Dave's coming through.
01:28 He's going to whatever.
01:30 Yeah, you're going to Madison.
01:31 And I said, I know what he's going to score us.
01:33 I told her.
01:34 I said, I'm going to keep it to myself.
01:36 Oh yeah.
01:37 We'll compare notes at the end.
01:39 The oven was sick, by the way.
01:41 I don't know if that's all these pan styles are made in these or not.
01:44 All right, we got Mildly Marshall.
01:46 This is your pizza right here.
01:49 This oven looks like it's a hundred years old.
01:51 Oh, it is. It's old.
01:52 Yeah.
01:53 I've never seen it.
01:54 What are your rules?
01:55 A Middlebury Marshall.
01:56 You can cook 18 at a time, 18 larges.
01:59 One bite, everyone knows the rules.
02:01 Good undercarriage.
02:02 Again, it's not my favorite style. It's not my least favorite.
02:05 It's very middle of the road.
02:06 Like, I do like this pizza.
02:18 Now, this is step two in the great Chicago to Madison Midwest pizza tour.
02:26 So you start, anytime you do tours on a lot,
02:30 the first score you give starts stacking the rest.
02:33 Because I gave the first place 7.7, so do I like this more or less than that?
02:36 I think he thinks it's going to be a 7.7.
02:45 I don't know why I'm standing like Captain Morgan.
02:53 I'm just standing like Captain Morgan. I have no idea why.
02:57 I don't know why I burned my face.
02:59 I burned my face.
03:06 It's good.
03:10 Yeah. I like it.
03:13 But do I like it as much as the first one? No.
03:15 So I think it's very good. I'm going to go with 7.6.
03:18 Now, if this is the first one, maybe it's 7.7.
03:20 What do you think he gets? I want to find out.
03:22 On the count of three, I'm going to say it.
03:30 What?
03:31 All right.
03:32 One, two, three. 7.6.
03:35 Okay.
03:36 Okay.
03:37 Yes.
03:38 All right.
03:39 Yeah. I really liked it.
03:40 Good.
03:41 Do you want to do some napkins?
03:43 Yeah, sure.
03:44 No, I think it's really good.
03:48 Yeah. 7.6 for our areas.
03:50 It was a solid.
03:51 I went to a place I thought was really good right before, like 10, 15 minutes away, some over at a log cabin.
03:56 Where?
03:57 Nick's Pizza Pub.
03:58 No, that's the next one.
04:00 Village.
04:01 Village.
04:02 Village and Nick's are the same.
04:03 Oh, they are?
04:04 I think they're cousins.
04:05 Village Pizza Pub.
04:06 Yeah, they have like elk on the walls and stuff.
04:08 Yeah, they got one in Elgin and they got one in Crystal Lake and they got one in Carpentersville.
04:13 But it's cousins or brothers or something like that.
04:16 Yeah, it's good. It's really good. I like it.
04:17 Yeah, Nick's is going to have the same thing like elk.
04:19 Oh, yeah.
04:20 All right, here, let me pay for this.
04:22 No.
04:23 No?
04:24 Sure.
04:25 All right.
04:26 I would love to get a picture, though.
04:27 Of course.
04:28 If you hold the pizza.
04:29 Yep.
04:30 If you don't mind.
04:31 Of course.
04:32 And then I know this guy is going to freak out if he's not in it, so.
04:34 Yeah.
04:35 Carpentersville Pizza.
04:36 We always do.
04:37 Oh.
04:38 Cool.
04:39 Dave, awesome to meet you.
04:40 Yeah, nice meeting you guys.
04:41 Thank you so much.
04:42 Yep, yep. See you guys.
04:43 All right, good one.
04:44 Thanks.
