- You smell that? - Of course I smell it.
- I usually put it on top of the dough.
- People are into that. - They come from miles around
just to have it.
- Does anybody ever have it and say, "oh, it's not for me,
send it back?"
- No, once they order it, it's on them.
- I'm Scott and I eat all kinds of pizza.
- I'm Mark and I'm a pizza purist.
- So we're hitting the road to taste the craziest
concoctions claiming to be pizza,
but are they "Really Dough?"
- I'm way more like my mother I guess.
She called me and she's like, "my back
is really hurting," and this, that,
and then she goes,
"but I have tickets for a Broadway show today,
and I'm not staying home."
"I took five Advil, I'm goin'."
- That's a...
- Yeah, I don't know.
- Thank you.
Ciao.
Tell me a little bit more about this tomato bite.
- Tomato bite.
It's crushed tomato on top of the cheese.
- Pizza sauce?
- Well its crushed tomato, it's not really a sauce
cause it's not cooked.
- Got it.
- They call it tomato pie.
It's thin, it's dense, it's crunchy.
Look, it's essentially, it's pizza.
- Another pizza saga continues.
- Finally we're heading New Jersey.
Third state of the day, the most beauteous of them all.
- Beauteous?
- Beauteous is a word!
It's the state of my birth.
It's my home.
It's the Garden State.
It's the home of the Pine Barrens.
- I don't mean to burst your bubble,
but I've been to Jersey many times before.
- No you haven't. - This isn't my first time
- You know you haven't.
- I think I want to take a nap.
- OK!
You take a nap, I will continue listening
to this polka mega mix that I put together over the weekend.
- Did you really?
- It's gonna be a funny pie,
but I think you're gonna like it.
- What's so funny about it?
- A funny pie, for a funny guy.
See, look at this!
Number one in New Jersey.
- Every pizzeria is voted number one for something.
- They have a sign.
- Yeah, mustard pie?
- Mustard pie.
- I thought we were here for tomato pies.
- You've got a lot to learn.
All right, you know what, grab a seat.
I'll go in the back, I'll see if Nick's here.
- Fantastic.
- Oh look, I see him!
He's like right in the back, over here!
- That's him, Scott!
- The birdcage, yeah.
- Hey, Nick! - Hey, Scott, how you doing?
- I'm doing good, how you doing?
- Good!
You coming from New York?
- Yeah I left New York in the morning,
we stopped for breakfast at place in Baltimore,
then we had lunch at place in Philly,
and then now we're doing like mid-afternoon snack.
- There you go.
By yourself?
- Nah, it's me and a buddy Mark.
He's got a pizza shop in Brooklyn,
never leaves Brooklyn.
- He wants to find new things about pizza?
- Yeah and you know what's a new thing--
- What? - That he's never had?
- What?
- Mustard pie.
- Get the heck out.
Honest?
- He's got like nothin' weird on the menu
taken in its place.
- What are you talking about, weird?
I don't understand what you're talking about.
- You think mustard's a normal thing?
- No.
- Were people doing mustard a hundred years ago?
- No.
- So what's the difference
between the mustard pie and tomato pie?
- Well, it's all the same.
- I've gotta be able to tell him
a little bit of background information about this.
- Whatever you wanna do.
- What kind of mustard is it? - Brown, brown mustard.
- Nice, you think someone like Mark's gonna be into it?
- He'll like it, no matter what.
- But do you think he will call it a pizza?
- He can call it whatever he wants,
as long as he pays for it!
- Do other places in Trenton do it?
- They try, but we make the best pizza.
- I thought it was tomato pie?
- Well it is...
- I'm just trynna getcha!
- I know, you got me!
Get out and we'll make you one.
- Sounds good!
- Take care of yourself. - Thank you.
- I'll be out there wit ya.
- All right, I'll be ready.
- All right.
- Are we having the tomato pie or the mustard pie?
- The mustard pie, which is a sub-category of tomato pie.
Do you like mustard?
- I love mustard!
- How do you eat mustard, what do you eat it on?
- On my hot dog.
- Great!
- On my sandwich, ham, cheese and mustard.
- Ham, cheese, and mustard.
- Pastrami. - Pastrami.
- Never on pizza.
- That's why you have to do it.
- Would you put ketchup on your pizza?
- Not with you, I'm afraid of what you'd do to me.
- How did they come up with this mustard pizza pie thing?
- Well, Trenton used to be
like this huge Italian stronghold, southern Italians.
And there was a German restaurant
that went out of business cause the guy died.
- The guy named Schuster had a pizza restaurant,
he was German, and they used a lot of mustard on stuff.
It works!
- So the pizza maker who worked for that German guy...
So like his place closed, you inherited a guy?
- I don't know.
I don't know.
So...
- Timeout.
Did you ever have a German pie?
- Yeah, with like the caramelized onions?
- And?
- And, I don't know, what else?
- Potatoes?
- I've never had potatoes on there.
- So you've never had a German pie.
- I've had an Alsatian Flammekueche.
- What's that?
- That's what you're talking about right now.
- You don't even know what's on a German pie.
- I don't think you do either.
- Potatoes. - Potatoes aren't German.
Think about it.
- They have one of these in Germany.
I make German pies!
Potatoes on pizza.
It's a German pie.
- Potatoes weren't even in Germany until the 16th century.
- The Chinese invented pasta, all right?
- That is true.
- OK, so it's a German pie, it's--
- What does that have to do with anything?
- When I walk into a pizzeria,
I want that smell to punch me in the face.
You should taste the town that the pizza came from.
A pizza should look as good as it tastes.
I just realized something. - What?
- I know something about pizza that you don't know.
- I don't think that's true.
- Just a minute ago,
you didn't know what I was talking about.
- No, I did. - Yo, deal with it, bro.
- Deal with it, bro?
- He's the funny man of food stuff,
the Pryor of pizza, Dough Rickles himself.
Nick Azzaro is bringing his comedy stylings
to Papa's Tomato Pies.
- Both camera's are running, it doesn't matter.
You don't have no film.
Hey guys, we're gonna make a mustard pie.
My "cousin" Mike is gonna make it for ya.
Now he's pressing out the dough.
It's a science!
I'm a pie-ologist.
First, we flour the dough.
We put the spicy brown mustard on, we put the cheese on,
then we put tomatoes on it.
Basically, taste is like a Philly pretzel.
There's a place called the California Pizza,
actually it's a chain, ate there and it was...
Ok.
Can't say bad, but it was OK.
At 600 degrees, it stays in for about eight, 10 minutes.
That's a lie.
- Don't call the fire department.
- This is a mustard pizza for Scott,
we're gonna send it out to him and his buddy.
- Because in this kitchen, everyone gets burned.
- He looks just like...
Who was the guy?
'Member that?
Hank?
Tall, skinny, Hank Razerian?
Looks just like this kid.
Hank Razerian or something like that?
- (muffled)
- What?
- Azaria.
- Oh, he's the guy that does the voice for "The Simpsons."
- I don't know.
- And that's done, hun.
- Tickets on sale now.
- What do you think guys?
Should I, like, go to New York or Hollywood or some place?
Scott, here's your pie!
- All right, yes.
- You got a nice mustard pie.
- Is this olive oil?
What's the shiny over there? - Yeah.
- Olive oil.
- Looks like a regular pizza.
- This your first mustard pie?
- Yes this is my first mustard.
- Ah, mustard's on the bottom.
- All right. - You'll like it.
Anything else?
- I think we're good for now.
Thanks. - Thanks, Nick.
- I should've asked him for a side of pastrami.
- No.
- Oh yeah!
Nice, crunchy.
Look at that move.
I can't tell if you like it or don't like it.
- No, I like it!
Tastes like a knish.
- Well that's the mustard, yeah!
This reminds me of like turkey sandwiches
I used to take to lunch.
- Yo did you take notice that this crust--
- Yeah I did.
It's snappy as heck. - It's phenomenal.
- It talks back.
Listen.
What do you think about
like the zazz of the mustard
with the sweetness of the tomato?
- Told you, it tastes like a knish.
- OK, which is a good thing?
You like knish?
- Mhmm.
- All right.
So thumbs up pizza?
- Well--
- This thing looks exactly like a pizza.
- It's just that the mustard overpowers the tomato.
I don't taste tomato.
- If you just taste the tomato itself, it's separated,
the mustard's underneath the cheese,
tomato's above the cheese.
Just take a little taste of the tomato and tell me about it.
- You've revealed the mustard.
- Look.
- Well I'm lookin' at it.
What's it like on its own?
- It's a sweet tomato.
- Yeah, so what's the difference between
what you'd had in the past
with like a vinegar, tomato sauce--
- It's just that I feel like I'm eating knish.
I do not taste pizza.
- Cause of the brown mustard? - Yeah.
- So, you've had a vinegar-y combination
with tomato sauce before...
- Yeah! - Right?
Yeah, but I'm wondering
how it stacks up with your rules in mind.
- Well yeah, like I said, when I walked in here,
the smell punched me in the face.
- Right?
And when he walked over to the table, you knew right away.
There's either a bologna sandwich, a pizza, or both.
- Yeah.
- What else?
You got another rule.
- What was it?
- Does it look as good as it tastes?
- Yes.
- That's big and important.
It's got crust, it's got cheese, it's got sauce.
The only other pizzas you've had in New Jersey
have been those stunt pizzas at Tony Boloney's, right?
- Well I thought we said that those weren't pizzas.
- We didn't say that they weren't pizza.
- Well I said it wasn't pizza.
- OK fine.
- So, this is really my first Jersey pizza.
- This is your first Jersey pizza?
- Mhmm
- Wow, this is great!
What a successful road trip, Day One!
- Everything about it says pizza.
- Maybe they'll put up a sign outside that says,
"The first pizza Mark ever had in Jersey."
- In Jersey, yup.
Can we wrap this up?
- Absolutely!
Midnight snack!
Calzone.
- You were supposed to like, air-pound--
- I don't do it.
Come on, all right, let's go.
- Hey guys!
How was the pie, Scott?
- I loved it.
- It was fantastic.
- Yeah, you loved it too? - Yes.
Thank you for everything.
- Oh, thank you for coming.
Goodnight.
- Take it easy, Nick. - G'night.
- All right.
- What an awesome guy.
- He's such a nice guy.
- His arm's gonna fall off.
He's still cleaning this table.
- Three pizzerias in one day,
three states in one day, you ever done that?
- No, that's a first.
- Yeah, what was your favorite pizza of the day.
- I really enjoyed the slice at Pizza Green.
- Oh yeah, right?
- But without the ice cream.
- I know.
- How far are we from the hotel?
- Oh, how far are we from the place that we're staying?
We're not far, actually we're getting really close.
This is the place.
- This doesn't look like a hotel, Scott.
- Let's go.
- Scott?
- Yeah?
- This is not a hotel.
- Nah, it's not a hotel.
- You were supposed to get a hotel.
- I told you I'd get accommodations.
This is guaranteed the best accommodations
you could ever imagine.
Close your eyes and think of the ultimate place
to stay on a pizza road trip.
- What?
- When two pizza friends
get to stay with a third pizza friend.
- Airbnb?
- Pizza buddies!
- Mike!
- Dude, let's go.
- We're gonna be hanging out all night long.
- We got pizza onesies!
We got pizza socks.
You got a great couch, it's nice and firm.
Don't worry about it.
Pizza party night sleepover, come on!
- Pizza party sleepover time! - Come on guys.
- Pizza party.
Hey come on, that's not cool, hey!
- Board games all night, so much fun.
- You got Jenga?
- I got hard liquor.
- No Jenga?
- No.
- Thanks for watching this episode of "Really Dough?"
where we had Papa's Tomato Pies in Trenton, New Jersey.
- You have to watch the one with
the Ramen pizza at Tony Baloney's.
- No don't watch the one with the Ramen--
- Get out of here!
Yo, a thousand dollar slice!
- And don't forget to subscribe!
You have to let me in!
- Let's go, let's go.
- This place has four floors?
Lazy!
