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!!
Congrats mama ! Your boy takes his passion seriously ! My son lives in the Cincy area so I'll have to put this place on the "go to" list when I head up there from Nashville next month.
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.
As a Cincy transplant, this is the best pizza in the state and I cannot rave enough how good it is. I recommend it to anyone looking for a great pie around here! Thanks Charlie for shining a light on what Alex and his team are doing for the city of Cincinnati!!
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.
Top notch content, and a proper pizzamaker who takes his craft very seriously. 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.
Just tried this place the pizza is simply amazing. We tried the Monday thin crust special highly recommend, very friendly people too that definitely care about what they're doing.
Try Tony’s corner Deli & Pizzaria in Mason. I’m from NY and he’s from Jersey. We know pizza. This guy does 20” pizzas with fresh ingredients. It’s a must have.
I grew up eating at apizza scholls regularly. The pie there is exceptional, truly world class. This is the best insight into that place that exists on the internet.
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 !
Love this, I have a outdoor pizza oven, and on the weekend I make pizzas and sell them to a very close group of friends and people. I was blown away by the response, I do about 50 pizzas a weekend. I feel like the man in this video really is doing what I dream of doing as a living.
Awesome video as always Charlie! I'm curious to know what percentage of the Sir Lancelot High Gluten flour is used in the dough? Would you say its roughly 25% high gluten flour + 75% rose artisan flour + pre-ferment? Maybe I missed something... Love seeing this!
I truly miss Cincinnati solely for St Francis. It’s literally New Haven pizza in Ohio. I hope Barstool pays them a visit someday for their pizza review series
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.
I was born and raised in the general Cincy area and I've never heard of this place. I've always thought Roc-a-Fellas in Sharonville was the best (it's good, everybody should try it). I'm definitely going to have to try St Francis now! 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.
OK, I love Roc-a-fellas....but like it's comparing "wow yummy" to "I'm going to cry and pass out because this is the best pizza I've had." Like, I just can't describe it. It's soooo good.
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.
There's a place here in Phoenix AZ called Pinos. Guy makes fresh bread loaves to sell along with his pizza and Italian food. The pizza crust is like fresh bread like this guy was talking about
SO interesting! Really some “unorthodox” insight to dough production, that many people need, if they’re aspiring to do pizza business, as a line item in a small menu setting. Like… pizza, gyro, and salads.😊😊 more vids from this perspective please!!!
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.
Great video. Im a pizza lover and i must share my favorite pizza place in Ohio. It's probably too far away for you to come try but Mary's pizza in Lisbon ohio is by far the best pizza I've ever had. I live about 35 minutes away from Lisbon but when i eat pizza i make the trip because its well worth it. Thanks for sharing the video
I live about 35 minutes from this place and have been trying to find a place precisely like this one! I'm going to get a pie from this place this weekend! I'm so excited to try this place! So happy I recently found your channel!
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!
Will be in Cincinnati this week Thursday and Friday for travel baseball, oh u better believe myself and the team will be ordering some pies!! Looks amazing and not a chain store, huge props sir.
Saying this is the best pizza in Ohio, is a very strong statement. I'm a massive pizze aficionado and I just live up in Dayton so I'm definitely gonna try this place soon. It looks good... But the best in Ohio?
This is absolutely awesome! Good stuff. If you’re ever up in Cleveland area you HAVE TO try Vero.. it’s the best pizza in Ohio in my opinion but never ate here! Good content! Thank you!
What’s happened to Trottas? It’s not even as good as it was five years ago. First time I had it was around 2016. The cheese doesn’t taste the same to me.
