Hey all! I am Charlie's biggest fan in whatever he does since I am his Mom. I am so excited for both Charlie & Alex that this video is almost up to 30,000 views. Wahoo!! I can't wait to try Saint Francis Apizza (love the name by the way) when we are passing thru Cincinatti on our way to Nashville where Charlie's sister lives with her new husband. When I first started watching this video, Alex reminded me of someone with his mild demeanor, passion, expertise, knowledge and love for pizza. Then, it came to me- it was Charlie!! This relationship is a Win/Win for everyone. Cheers to Alex & his team and to Charlie!!

Thanks Kathy! We will be "performing" at Pizza Fest in Nashville this October if your daughter and her husband want to come try it as well!

Hi Kathy, Alex at St. Francis here. This comment made by day. Thank you so much for your kind words. Charlie is such a thoughtful, knowledgeable person and I'm so glad to call him a friend!

I don't know, if you know... b/c you brought up tendonitis.. But dough ball rolling machines do exist: "The Atwood Round O Matic dough rounder will reduce hours of hand rounding dough balls. This machine will round dough over a broad range of sizes, from one to 32 ounces, producing a round of unequaled quality. No adjustments are necessary for any size variation." I would give a link but YT will hit me with a "spam" hit... Anyways I worked at a pizza place that had to roll doll balls by hand... it got old quick! Anyways, good luck.

He should be very proud, I would be happy to work under him, you can see the drive in his team and he has the right mindset as a business owner on how he treats them, it clearly shows in the product that they are producing. I would travel and go out of my way to give this one a try. Thank you for your time Charlie, cheers.

Excellent video. Passion and high attention to detail is essential… you see this in the video. Cool that they take staff around the country for pizza tours. Highly recommend taking Scott’s Pizza Tour if they haven’t already. Scott’s a literal encyclopedia. Interested to see a follow up with this place in a year or two. Best wishes Queens, NYC.

This guy sounds like he's going through what Adriatico's Pizza (in Clifton) went through for a generation. They had very limited space forever on the corner of Jefferson and Nixon Streets. No dining in / all carry out. Adriatico's is the BEST New York style pizza in Cincinnati but I can't wait to try St. Francis' Apizza in Hyde Park. (I looked them up from the video description.) Adriatico's eventually moved to McMillan Street closer to the University where they have a dining room and a bar. It's a very nice place.

@peterinbrat 23 дня назад

It's a hard business esp if you rent a storefront. I worked at a pizza shop for about a year and they had been in business 20 years. Rent kept going up but you can only get so many customers. First $1000 a day went to pay rent, the next $500 for labor. Weekends were slammed but they lost money Sunday to Wednesday Spinning dough is hard work. Like doing pushups for four hours.

@salilgupte4507 23 дня назад

The most important elements of this video are the artistry and judgment required to make a great dough. So much frustration for home cooks about it not turning out the same with windowpaning etc...when using same ingredients down to the gram and same mix time etc. These guys acknowledge that the dough is alive and it behaves differently every day and the process changes every day and needs constant tweaks. Important lesson.

@yugnok 23 дня назад

Wow that crust looks fantastic. If you make a lot of pizzas, you know how special that pizza must be. So cool that they are as passionate about pizza as I am. If I am driving past Cincinnati, definitely going to stop there.

very nice ! i love the whole setup !! and especially how polite and friendly they are !!! i almost want to go to Ohio just to try it ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! my first job as a cook i worked as a line cook with 3 others ( i opened the dough patta down then sauced ) i pass it to the toppings man then off to the cook/cutter ! we did 9k-12k pizza EVERY fri/sat/sunday i learned a LOT from Yani and its lasted a lifetime. ( i also cleaned/oiled the pans !!!! :) ) i like HQ and one thing that goes hand in hand with the pizza is a wonderful salad :) thanks for the inspiration ! you made my weekend happy memorial day !

Honorable mentions if you're in the Dayton area (where I live now), check out one of the many Marion's Piazza locations and a little hole in the wall called Veli's Pasta and Pizza in Bellbrook.

600F 7-8 minutes 68% hydration with a 11.5% Protein flour makes a great NY style crispy pizza c:) Notice how these guys use their dough the same day. There are many people that say to use all purpose flour which this is what they are using and ferment it for up to 78 hours in the fridge which is an obvious joke. Learn from these guys as they have done a lot of home work! I prefer this pizza any day over Neapolitan Pizza! Great work guys! Looks delicious!!!!! amazing tutorial! Thank you Charlie!

@saintfrancisapizza 2 дня назад

Thanks! Yeah we use bread flour and don't have the fridge space even if we wanted to refrigerate the dough.
