Owner/Worker @CollinBrackin
So you are making roughly a floor of $75K a month with a ceiling of 6 figures monthly. What is your cost / profit margins? How much in store, equipment and food cost? I know there is a reason pizzeria's are a dime a dozen in NJ. They are excellent ROI if you are a hard worker and keen on your accounting.
@@arcadeslum5882 wait? How do you know he’s making that much? I thought he was selling pizzas, not taking hits for the mafia? 6 figures a month?
If he sold each pizza for 20$ he would have to make 166 pizzas a day, 7 days a week. That’s tough to do alone even if you have that many customers.
@@dicerosautismambient4894 obviously he doesn’t need to wear gloves. You just would prefer if he did. Humanity has been making food without gloves for thousands of years...
@@dicerosautismambient4894 Needs to take a shit in your pie
@@chaytonhurlow840I prefer not to have nasty hands make my food. You must be a nasty person
Managed a pizza by myself when folks called off on holidays. Mad respect for this young man. It is a LOT of work.
I worked at a Pizza Hut for a little over a year before Covid hit, it was so much more work than I imagined, but it was fun I liked it, the prank calls would make me smile if they weren’t too outrageous
Its not. Probably one of the easiest food establishments to work at.
@@AerynSBUm no that’s not true at all. You clearly have no idea what it’s like to work in a pizza restaurant or possibly any restaurant for that matter.
@tommyfhs04 lmao yes, I've worked in several. Making pizzas is the easiest.
Israel has such one person pizzeria at every corners.
Man, I always would rather have 2-3 solid people in the kitchen that actually know what they are doing instead of 7-9 incompetent people.
Bigggggg facts.
And 3 great people have 10x less mistakes, which makes up the cost difference most the time
improve your hiring
7-9 competent people would be even better!
Lol its just the matter of looking for those 2-3 “solid” cooks…. Pffff nowadays thats 1 in a million.
For example: i hired this cook/“former sous chef” but the guy cant show up on time for his shift… when he does show up, its an hour late! 😂😂😂 he is a solid cook tbh but very unreliable
@@TrillKump I'm not a manager lol.
There is also great amounts of work outside the normal open hours to get things pre-prepared, so they are easily accessible when he needs them during the day. Kudos to this man.
His work ethic is great, you can see he puts his heart and soul into his work whilst being polite to customers and the pizzas look delish.
Really? How is not washing your hands and wiping your hands on your shirts good work ethics?
@@bruce2535josie its pizza, the temp of that oven will kill any of those invisible germs you are so afraid of!
@@jamie.miller.inspiring it doesn’t matter what you say, it’s not good work ethics to be doing that, how do you think customers are going to react if they saw that, if a health inspector saw that do you think that shop would still be serving paying customers. Is that what he’s going to tell the health inspector, oh don’t worry the oven will kill all the germs while wiping his hands on his dirty shirt,
@bruce2535josie quite honestly i couldn't possibly care any less, I dont care what people in another country do. If i ever visited the us, i would probably try his pizza because hes doing more with his life than a whiner on the internet 😊
Anyway i will leave you to hopefully get over it since it's not my circus, not my monkeys.
Maybe you should stop being constantly worried about everything and give living and enjoying life a try for something different, maybe then you may find some happiness 😉
@@jamie.miller.inspiring wow enjoy life and try something different? Like a pizza that made in filth and germs
Thank you for sharing this video. I grew up in a pizza restaurant as my parents owned one, and after they passed I took it over. This brings back so many fond memories. We had the exact same Hobart mixer, screens, same stone slab oven, even the dockers were the same lol. The only real difference is we had to grind our own mozzarella and smoked provolone cheese daily. We even made our own sauce, secret to a great sauce is to add a bit of fennel with your other spices. Gives it a distinct flavor with a bit of a kick. Collin, I commend your dedication, passion and hard work. I know first hand how much goes into it before you ever open the door for the day. Wishing you the absolute best! P.S. Please don't ever use jarred/canned mushrooms, if possible always used fresh sliced (same with tomato) because it truly does make a huge difference in taste of the final product.
We do :)
Many people, myself included, prefer canned mushrooms for pizza.
You don't know it all..damn
I just stumbled on this channel. You can totally tell this is an owner operator. Friendly, hard working and very kind am I'm guessing the pizza pretty damn good as well. Kudos to you
12 year pizzaiolo here. The fact he uses a machine to roll out the doughand instead with his hands, and uses some spike roller to punch holes in to it, i can tell you his pizza tastes like crap. The secret in making a good pizza is less is more. Way to much toping, he dont even uses mozzarela cheese as base.
@@trolojolo6178😂😂grats
From a chef, you are doing an amazing job. Your composure, customer communication awesome, work ethic, timing is awesome. I guess you operate just 1 oven at the moment so it match the time you get to roll, open dough, make pizza and serve customer. Hats off you doing all by yourself, you have the dedication, courage,guts to do it with lots of people even chef will not even try it.
Awesome work ethic and drive, keep up the commitment. As someone that has worked in the industry for many many years. Watch what you touch with your bare hands. Most high-end restaurants do not use gloves, however, they are disciplined to not touch anything other than kitchen equipment, food, or a single towel. Never touch your clothing or items such as phones. People use their phones in the restroom and wash their hands but do not wash phones or electronic devices. Keep a vinegar or bleach-based container with a towel to help sanitize your hands. Also, when you bring out ingredients place them into a new container, do not place the product on top of an old product, even if the container is empty. When you have wet cheese, that is the beginning stages of bacteria setting in...That is the fastest way to create mold and bacteria. Your product looks amazing and it shows that you take great pride. It is awesome to see the mixer in the background. Most pizzerias have their dough brought in from an outside source. Enjoyed watching place ingredients on your pies. You don't half-ass place them like most big pizza places. You not only place them in an appealing manner but also do strategically to ensure that your customers get a quality bite. WELL DONE.
I thoughts exactly
Surprise in……… is no joke
Study servsafe for business protection
Yeah, my first thought about it being a one man show was that I'm not sure I'd want to eat there. If one person is doing the cooking, the cleaning, the serving, the ringing up of orders...no matter how hard he tries, there's bound to be frequent contamination.
@@mariacabrera7634 @jacoley @PizzaStopPreston 1000 times agree with all of these comments; become a servsafe certified business, I work in Risk Management, You'd be amazed how quickly a simple problem will turn into one that ruins your business; Not to mention that the health department in your area can use this very video against you in some cases. Love the work ethic, and looks like you make a great product, but you have to protect it like you could lose it all in a second. Because you can.
Yep, wiping hands on lower shirt, wiping sweat on forehead onto shirt, rubbing chin on shirt over pizza. My wife and I cringed over the lack of concern for contamination.
As someone who just got addicted to making pizza in the last few years, this looks like a dream job. Hard work, serving loyal customers good pie. I'd probably be twice as sweaty though 😅
I love making pizza but i'd take waaay to long just to make one HAH.
@@zentgle I will help you be fast
Hats off to you sir, I’ve seen pizza joints with a dozen employees that aren’t maintained and ran as clean and precise as yours that has just you. It’s brilliant really, no labor cost practically zero food waste, and great service with what looks like quality product. If all people had these work ethics no one would fail. I give you an A++
Hey Jason, thank you.
@SCOTT MILLER 300-600 depends on the time of year. Hoping to double that by next year, and add salads to the menu with a seperate cold cut table.
Also, Jason. I came back to this comment of another 14+ hour shift today. And can I say, I appreciate your comment!! Reminds me why I do what I do.
Well according to the info text and the fact its filmed, it would be a bad idea to show a bad maintained store, no? ;)
@@bazz303 I’m working on it y’all gotta remember I work 80+ hours, run 3 UA-cam channels and am a dad and partner.
Thanks for understanding.
I know this video has been on here for a few months, but man, you are one hell of a worker. I wish you the very best!
Thanks Bill,
Check out more of our videos, and live streams. We work hard everyday!
There used to be a small pizzeria in my hometown that was even smaller than this one, literally half of it. It was ran by an old italian guy, he barely spoke german but he made the best and obviously only authentic pizza in my town. He ran it completely by himself as well, he made fresh sauce and dough every day, all from shipped in italian supply. there was only 2 standing tables outside the pizzeria, so you could either call and pick up the pizza or maybe stand there and eat it fresh. No delivery, no slices just whole pizzas.
Miss him to this day
now i wanna hear how german with an italian accent sounds like
An old Italian guy who barely spoke German??? 🤔😂
When I was a little boy back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I knew some old Italian men who barely spoke English. But the German thing is a new one on me!

@@chhansen9813the path till u get to flip it is so long and u need combination of so many skills like mentality time management good sense of taste etc to accomplish this solo…
Unfortunately not much sanitation either
Even though it gets busy, he still takes care to place everything on the pizza in a caring manner! Great Job Collin!
It’s In His Blood!! He’s A Born Hustler!! Absolutely Amazing Work Ethic!! Keep Up The Great Work Good Sir.
Gotta say this guy impressed me. Not only is he running the show entirely solo but he works fast and the attention to detail is amazing. Greeting customers as they walk in and taking their order while still making the previous ones. But what impressed me the most is that first pizza. After the first layer of cheese i thought to myself - “could use a little more cheese” and this man goes back before he finishes it and fills in the cheeseless gaps. Huge W
Thank you friend.
Check my other videos. You’ll love our culture
He is today, his employee didn't show up. That's usually the case. then your stuck their, no matter what your plans are.
@@richardkrueger9097 uh, no one was scheduled,
But thanks
Sorry, I thought in the beginning you said a girl was scheduled@@PizzaStopLLC
Oh for a different day! :)
I do have employees, just used to work lunches alone cause I enjoyed it, now I’m too busy to even work there by myself anytime of day (usually)
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is what hard work and dedication looks like. Kudos to this young man and his work ethic!!!
Disgusting, no gloves, no proper sanitation. Health code violations everywhere.
@@rovin9547 I work at a pizza restaurant as a cook, I have taken food safety courses, you don't have to wear gloves with any food that is going in the ovens (ovens are usually heated to 600 degrees Fahrenheit), the only time you have to wear gloves is with food that is ready to eat (Food that has come out of the ovens), he isn't handling the pizza after it comes out, he uses the peel (wooden stick with metal sheet on the end) to remove the pizza and put it into the box, he then uses a pizza cutter to cut the pizza, at no point is he touching the pizza with his hands after it comes out of the oven.
@@dalbycaddo126 looks like you missed where he touches money / register without washing his hands after. Money is dirty as hell, where he wipes his hands on his shorts, where he wipes the sweat off his brow again without washing his hands or are we going to ignore all that? Wearing gloves will resolve this. Make pizza, take gloves off, handle money, put on new gloves.
@@rovin9547 He doesn't touch the pizza after it is cooked though, did you read my full comment?

Great example of efficiency. Not a wasted movement and actually a very graceful process. Nothing thrown together, not sloppy, just awesome !
Always trying to push consistency and efficiency.
Wait til it's superbowl Sunday
@@PizzaStopLLC why you tossing dirty cheese from the counter back in the bin? efficient my ass
Excellent Time Management Tip: Never wash your hands, sanitize surfaces, or clean utensils to save time. Just do it at the very end.
@@tylerblouin3513dirty?
Mad respect, that's a lot of work for one person to do all by themselves! I certainly hope you're making off well, I hope someday I can try one of those awesome looking pizzas you make ^w^
I admire your work ethics. I hope your business does great for many years to come.
Thank you for the kind words
Very efficient and very hard working young man. He keeps a good pace the entire time.
Thanks my friend
I’ve been working in kitchens for 20 years. You’re amazing bro. At one of my jobs at a busy pub I was the only line cook some days and I would do hundreds of plates by myself. The job was stressful but I learned lots.
Wow! Amazing young man with a great attitude and knows a what it means to work hard! Wishing him the very best in life!!
Hats off to this guy , I completely can relate , I’ve ran my own store by myself for extended amounts of time (years) on and off so I know how it feels. Much respect ✊🏽
Hey thank you
I have been toying with the idea to do this but with a truck. Wouldn't put out nearly as many, but cheaper to invest in up front.
@@The_GallowglassDo it , what’s stopping you, and all you get is regret if you don’t.
@@tigergreg8 could even build a pizza oven in the yard and have people come pick wm up
@@The_Gallowglass You’d have to be careful about having a business at home, some areas do t allow that. I like the idea, and if people like it, word of mouth and your business takes off.
owning your own business is just like this for those who understand in order to achieve greatness, the only person you can rely on is yourself. Kudos to you man.
Not going to lie. This has been the best thing i have seen on youtube for a long time. Just a guy with passion doing his thing. You can tell you are barely even flustered. You are in the zone.
I bet time goes fast when you can only count on yourself?
21minutes in and he shows he labels his pizza boxes so he knows what he is working on as orders come in, its a very good system, looking at those pizzas are making me hungry.🤤
I used to work in a pizzeria and I have huge respect for this guy’s processes, efficiency and his organisation skills. Love this.
He's got a very organised, clean shop. but he's not even doing 400.00 an hr. He's either in a small town, or new and needs to advertise but if all you have to hire from are crackheads and meth heads you might want to keep your employees to a minimum. and your business slow.
Oh I also have to interrupt my night, or guests, or family to run in and deliver food on a regular basis, as the drivers get swamped. That's just a little extra, cars break, accidents, and family emergencies, all things that suggest I'll be there all night.
Ya a very good hardworking slave
Well working at that speed where i live is impossible, in the time he started making the first pizza he would have 20 more customers, that must be a small town or something like that.
@@richardkrueger9097 That is dumb. You have no idea how much he does
Brother.. you are the definition of American work ethic, that built this country from the ground up. pizza, stocks, houses, any hustle that strong, requires you to not be denied success at whatever you choose to do!. That’s a Fact. Keep up the amazing work, and your Making he hungry for that delicious Pizza.. Many Many further successes to you young man!!!
Man I've been making pizza for about 10 years. The owners closed up shop, but this brings me back to my lunch shifts where I would get left alone. I really under valued my "pizza sense" when it came to pulling from the oven
just posted this same thing, in school we ran solo ALL THE TIME because there wasn't anyone else...lol!!! they made CRAZY money off me.
I've done this on the pizza biz, multitask, pivot, what ever you want to call it but when it gets busy the wheels will come off.the phone starts to be an enemy real quick during rush hour..
What an incredible work ethic by this young man. Bravo!
Thanks James.
@@PizzaStopLLC How many pies you think you make per day? How long is a day for you? :) If I'm ever in Idaho I'll grab a pizza off you.

Repetition makes money, the more streamlined your process, the more you will make. I notice you dont waste any moves. As a builder carpenter, i can appreciate that. If you need a tool from the truck bring a bucket of trash. Never waste a trip. Everything i do at work i have a procedure for and do it the exact same on every job. Just like this kid.

Dedication & Passion... fair play to that man. Wish him every success
His interactions with customers while multitasking is impressive. Good food and good vibes…..hats off sir.
This is what I like to see in today's times - young men working hard, the old fashion way, to better themselves and build a business. It reminds me of myself back when I started my operation, some 28-years ago. I'm from the generation of men where you could pull up to a filling station and the owner would come out (red shop rag dangling in his back pocket) and he'd say, "fill'er up?" and as the tank filled (at .65 cents per gallon) he would walk around and check all 4 tires and clean your windows - for free. Then he'd say, "Can I check under the hood for ya?" and offer any advice on what might be needed; water / fluid / oil levels, belts, hoses, etc., etc. Anyway, I'm sure some of you can remember those days, too. Keep at it, young man - with dedication, devotion and discipline - the sky is the limit!
See the issue is you guys made terrible financial decisions that have forced younger generations of today to be far poorer then yours were yet they earn more, we could also talk a out how your generations have seized absolute power over government and industry to keep younger generations not only financially destitute but mentally broken as well since the game is rigged.
That's a whole lot of shopping; ordering; taking orders; fixing; cleaning; prepping; preparing dough/sauces; cooking; doing dishes; dealing with reps, taxes, accounting, admin stuff; customer service; and folding boxes.
Sounds like you have done this..
And people wonder why I sleep so well! 😂

You’re not the original owner, are you? You look awfully young to have opened a pizza place in 1993.
Wouldn’t there be a large wait time if you’re the only one?
You really do deserve the best dude. I can't even fathom taking orders while in the middle of juggling other orders. I wish you the very best
I've worked in pizza places and done this to an extent..if you really get busy you will crash and burn..
@Dale Gribble to an extent yes, sooner or later you will get overran, I worked for pizza hut in the early 80's , also Antonio's, luvin oven etc. Even with a conveyer oven it will be hard if you have to answer the phone , deal with customers, make the pizza etc. lunch was insane at pizza hut and dinner time you would have a steady 10 + orders to make..
Smaller places with a couple orders per hour will not be that bad..
@Dale Gribble heck, at pizza hut during dinner hours we had two at the make table, one on the cut table and one at the cash register..one would prep the pan pizza or run the dough through the roller for thin crust..it would of been impossible to do alone..phone rang every minute or so, people picking up, ordering etc. Never happened alone..
This was much different than a smaller pizza joint..oven backup not good with conventional or the conveyer from backing up..
Real busy nights we would run out of dough, dishes, hot water, ice etc.
@Dale Gribble during dinner rush hours we would have a full dining room, people waiting to sit, people picking up, paying after they ate, full time just at the register. During my period, no this could not possibly be done by one..never happen.
This guy doesn't appear to have the volume I speak about. Didn't like him putting cheese off the make table on pizzas, no gloves as fast food peeps use..appears to be able to do but doubtful this would be permanent..
@@thedbcooperforum he's brick oven no belt
when you are an introvert and want to run a business
that would be me 100 percent!
That doesnt make sense because he is forced to talk to customers constantly
I was thinking the same thing
@@KvltKommando he's not actually selling anything though, he doesn't have to go through the specials. He's clearly too busy to just chat. He's alone 90% of the time. Ask what they want, smile as they tell you, ignore them until it's done
@@BouncingTribbles What does that have to do with being an introvert? An introvert doesnt want to have to interact with and be in the presnce people constantly for hours as a job. And since his oven area is completely exposed to strangers coming in he's hardly alone
having done this in school...its the dough prep and general duties THAT would be the issue. running a store solo/ empty (books, food prep, routing drivers, stocking, ordering, easy... been there done that solo. but making the dough and cleaning things...THATS the killer. and NO days off... good on this guy.
Dont comment if you dont appreciate honest and hard work.
I remember a small pizza shop opening and they decided it was necessary to have 12-19 people manning the place, sometimes more staff than they had customers in a day. And nothing was homemade. It did not last three months. This is pretty awesome and makes me miss more family run businesses like this, so much has been replaced by chains.
This is a family run business with one person. Ha ha
It is not one person.
I was a pizza man for a few years and this is IMPRESSIVE! Good on you man, most people don't realize you're doing an insane amount of work. Most people couldn't do it!
I appreciate that! It’s a lot I agree. But I love it so it makes it ok.
That's what makes it so dumb 😂clearly you don't get more than a couple orders an hour. This isn't a real business just a hobby that you can afford because the rent must be cheap. Work smart not hard my boy💯
@@moneymanifestation9505 hahaha. I’m opening a 3rd location in 55 days.
Thanks for the opinion of my “couple” orders an hour ;)

@@brianboe3774 /r/whoosh
Tyrannical tone
What's crazy is I am doing the same thing but my wife and I both do it. It gets wild at times but the one thing I know about people and pizza, especially if it's a good quality pie, they don't mind waiting if you're in the busy time of day/night. We have a prep time of 6-7 minutes per pizza, and pushes to about 8-9 during busy times because of needing the oven to get back to temp, but we keep them going.
I used to work at a movie theater's Pizza Pizza. It was a one person place much like this and I can tell you that keeping everything running smoothly and efficiently was not a laid back job. Especially just before movie showing clusters! Much respect to this guy, can relate!
My favorite pizza place that I went to for the last 25 years just went under new ownership. It was a mom and pop family run place that I spent lots of money at. Now the very first thing you're asked at the ordering kiosk is what tipping percentage you're going to tip: 15,20,25, or other. This is for an in store pickup. I always ask for a bit more sauce on the pizza and it was never a problem. The last time I was in they charged me $2.50 because they consider it a "side". I just want a bit more on the crust, I won't be dipping anything. A two topping 12" pizza is $19 plus tax. I quit going there and so did my money.
Edit: Went by the place last week and it had gone out of business. They never learned that you can make something so cheap that people will stop buying it.
I feel your pain, nothing good ever last. It's All about a dollar these day's. Fortunately Jesus never changes, he is the same today, tomorrow and forever! Have a Blessed Day!
I always tip when I do a pickup. They still prep your food, pack it up etc
Most businesses never understand how far little things like that go in retaining customers. So what did your special request cost them - like a few spoonfulls of sauce? In cheaping out on that, they lost hundreds/thousands in future business.
@@fudgicle1427 You are spot on with your reply. I love pizza and would go to this place when in college as a study motivator. In order to fix the problem I got an Ooni pizza oven and taught myself how to make a high gluten commercial quality dough where I buy the Bouncer flour in a 50lb bag ($19.00) at Restaurant Depot plus use a quality Cento crushed tomato sauce and top it with a low moisture whole milk mozzarella cheese then finish it with what ever toppings I like, whenever I like. The oven will make a 16 inch pizza.
@@fudgicle1427stop wipe your ganas in your shirt
It's amazing how your doing it all by yourself I used to have a pizza parlor I started it by myself and then I had My kids help me All I can say is kid your doing it I wish you all the best I can see it in your face that you have the drive to make it
I know what it’s like. I have a family pizza business. I feel this man’s pain of not having help and having to be at your store. Much respect brother 💪🏼
This is the best. As a former pizzeria owner of 10 plus years, this is the way to do it. You can’t do what I did based on volume and a very busy delivery portion of sales but if I could do it again….no coupons, no crazy advertising for volume. One pizza at a time, full price/COGS $29.99 1 size. 18”. Specialties. $14.99 cheese/1 top. 1000 sq foot place, almost all kitchen. Hire one or 2 guys to come prep everything from 2-3AM until I come in at 10am. Work until 8pm. Closed Mondays. Done.
I like it. Keep the options simple and you can streamline everything. I have never worked at a pizzeria but I like efficient systems and this sounds like a real winner. No need for high volume sales of cheaper pizzas if you can get enough clientele through the door because they like your product. Did you start off with this business model or did you figure it out as time went on?
@@dustintravis8791 I sold and got out of the business about 5 years ago. After all the managerial jobs I’ve had in restaurants and owning one, you can’t depend on too many people. There are a lot of flakes out there and I was paying pretty good too. The only people who made minimum wage were delivery drivers because they’re tipped. And the ones that are good and can take orders and cook etc…those are always first priority so I paid them nicely. So, yea I think any business that is dependent on just you, is the best bet. I find like a nice small beer tap place with 20 taps, one beer-tender per shift. Min wage + they keep tips. I have a friend that owns just this. He literally has almost zero labor other than the 2 beer tenders that come in to pour. They make bank on tips. He comes in the morning all,by himself and cleans the entire place on his own. Mop, sweep, clean taps, get the store all set up by 8AM. All set to pour. That’s what I mean. If I did it now, I’d open up a pizza slice shop. Slice in 90 seconds. Conveyor oven, pump them out at busy times. Simple. 5-6 top ingredients. Huge size slice. $5 w/ Free soda. Pay a couple cooks, and cashiers/oven cut station.
But but I need my Monday pizza!!!! I demand you open the door! I'll be there tomorrow waiting.
@@Nowthats 🤣
Love any kind of restaurant that keeps menu focused and simple. Tend to be a lot better at making the few things they have than those who try to have huge menus and do everything.
He's so fast at switching between the making, cooking and register and never once seems flustered as he's dealing with the customers. What a great skill. Hope it is paying off for him :)
it all starts to blend together after a while, when you have the experience working like this starts to feel like ticking off boxes in your head one by one which makes it easier :) having routines and avoiding excessive movement is key
People have a real hard time multi tasking these days I never understood it. It takes alot to get me frustrated or overwhelmed at work.
Things go a lot faster when you don't wash your hands. From register to making pizza. Touching the camera to making pizza. Wiping his hand on his shorts to making pizza. I worked at a pizza place, a video like this the health department could shut them down a few days.
@@IDiggPattyMayonnaise brooo at 19:36 when he touches the delivery guy's phone and goes back to making the pizza :(
I'm not a germaphobe, I know most local pizza places have even less food safety but they are not documenting their violations on youtube
I would bet that is not the case all the time. when it gets busy I would bet he gets a little stressed and flustered sometimes. the fact he only making pizzas is a big help with that though
He couldn’t do it alone if he wasn’t a master organizer. He’s pretty awesome.
That's the prep stage the cook is always about time management and a it starts at good prep
Preparation is key in everything
Exactly the video i needed to see today! I'm 60 and moved to Cebu. Pizza here is awful. I worked at Domino's for 25 years and understand how it works. I'm inspired.
Man, I love a guy that just takes his job seriously and produces excellent product! We need more people with self respect and a winning mentality! Good job young man!
um no we need more people to care about their customers and follow simple health codes and clean as they do. this is 100% not it.
I had my own businesses for many yrs. and Never considered it a job. Having your own business is exciting and challenging, nothing like most jobs.🙏
@@ColdVenom159get lost dude lol stop being a hater it's not a good look maybe just eat at home then
@@ColdVenom159 you're an id10t. In a lazy generation one single man is doing the job of what a lazy 10 arent doing. Go be an investigator. FIrst, go after the FDA , AMA, Pharma and all the crap they are putting in our foods and medicine before going after some violation of cleanliness. Its up to the individual who is running the company , dont blame the masses for the few that mess things up
@@ColdVenom159 Okay, mister "know it all", what exactly is he doing that's so wrong here?
Wow! Great work ethic. Ive owned my own business for over 30 years and it truly takes dedication. Congrats. You will go far.
Same here - sure it takes dedication and at times a bit challenging but soo worth it! Cheers
I love his work ethic. He's definitely a success story.
I love this and I appreciate your hard work! I am the Sole Owner/Operator of my small business as well! I do EVERYTHING MYSELF..it’s definitely possible especially if you know Your Value and the Direction you want your Career to go in❤❤❤❤❤❤❤CUDOS 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
My first job (in the 1980s) was in a pizzeria. The owner would make your first shift on a Saturday night, if you survived you could stay. Went on the be the prep/lunch shift guy, start at 5AM make the dough from scratch, prep all the veggies etc, make coffee and minestrone soup and open the restaurant all working solo. I’ve had a long career in tech with many different jobs, but none was ever quite as satisfying as my time in the pizza shop. I remember it fondly.
riveting tale chap
Just found your account here and really enjoyed this video!
I've been really wanting my father and I to start a place to give food to people, whether it was a bakery, restaurant of some kind or maybe a place like you got here. This is inspiring when my father is elderly and I have a disability but I've tried to tell him between us both we could be a very efficient duo. Seeing you do this all on your own is definitely motivating!
Thanks for watching. Good luck!
Admirable for sure, but I think the bigger part most people may be missing that really shows how amazing this is.
Making pizza is the easy part, all those ingredients don't make themselves, the amount of food prep, and keeping things stocked is a constant battle. If you've ever made dough you know, it takes hours every morning to get the dough made and proofing, then adding cutting cheese, and all the other ingredients it's a ton of work.
Pretty sure not burning the pizza while being distracted with customers, remembering orders, and making the pizza isn't easy.
@@Inspectorzinn2I’m not discounting any of that, and said it was admirable, but it’s a very small portion of running a pizza shop. I was simply calling out that it’s even more work than this clip shows.
@@Inspectorzinn2No he's right, once you get used to doing that part it becomes automatic, if you forget to backup one type of meat you're fucked. Or if you didnt get an order of cheese in to make a new batch, all that is the hard part.
Or atleast the part that requires more thought and time
the dough itself doesnt take long, i make donuts from scratch at a bakery, takes about 30 mins to make the dough, another 30 mins to floor proof (at room temp) and then i break it down into little balls, takes slightly over an hr total, the real time sink is then it has to proof in a cooler for 18 hours, and while thats entirely hands off, it does mean you have to know how much dough you will need 24 hrs in advance, which customers can be fickle, some days they buy very little, other days you get last minute orders for many hundreds for seemingly no reason (no holiday anytime soon etc..)
All i gotta say is +1 respect mane, i feel every food place in the US should be this Efficient and Clean, its crazy how its just you working and other stores have whole staff and can't be as good as Preston
Awesome! Just straight killing the pizza floor, while still maintaining a friendly and welcoming demeanour to his clientele. Love to see it
Thanks friend
Nice to see commitment to CS and a solid work ethic, you'll go far - cheers@@PizzaStopLLC
Thinking about it, this makes sense. I worked at Pizza hut and ran the day shift with my manager. Other than some minor prep work, I did only deliveries and my manager took care of everything else. If it was busy enough, I didn't even help with the prep because I was only in long enough to pick up my next set of orders. It makes sense that someone who knows what they're doing should be able to handle this.
Is it hand tossed tho? N there on convection belts not the same
I did a sourdough pizza for 30 yrs. 30 year old dough, as when you make a new batch you add a piece of the last batch, for 30 years. Sold more than any other pizzeria in Buffalo. 2nd in wings, only to the place that invented the wing. The Anchor Bar.@@BlazerOpOp
Gotta admire a productive young guy contributing to his community! The Lord's Blessings on you!
Contribution cross contamination like hell... Didnt see him wash his hands even once after handling money or the cash register.
@@inceneration yeah, "contamination" of food thats about to be cooked at temperatures high enough to incinerate any bacteria, Mr. Incineration
@@inceneration🤓

Props my man! im a year into my 1 man catering for wood fire pizzas! it gets crazy! but knowing the work you put in makes it all worth it!
Amazing owner, amazing worker, amazing personality and amazing human being!!!
amazing in poor health and cleanliness practices absolutely.
Wow this place is just 20 mins from where I used to live... I would've totally checked it out had I seen this before moving! You don't just work hard, you put in real care to each pie you make and I'm all for it.
Thanks been here 30 years
@@tompsheridantsheridant7354 yes I have hired help, that does not change that I’m working alone in this video,
Thanks for going out of your way to share
who cares if u get help or not, everyone can see ur dedication and love to the job, pizzas and customer and thats what matters in the end, and some money ofc :P@@PizzaStopLLC
@@tompsheridantsheridant7354 bro really thought he was exposing a big secret
A man of great patience. This is amazing to watch. Wishing you continued success in your business. Blessings 🙏🏽
I love watching people who love what they do pour out their heart into their work. What an inspirational video I hope Collin gets much more love and business and maybe an extra hand to help him out!
Thank you.
We are opening another location in 2 Months. Lots of love lately from our supporters
Impressed by this guy's speed and organisation. It takes CONCENTRATION and dedication to make an entreprise like this work! WELL DONE! The real work though, comes in the PREPARATION and bookwork, that goes on BEHIND THE SCENES! All that dough needs to be prepped, proved and stored safely, as does the pizza sauces, and individual toppings! Then there's the CLEANING DOWN after each night's service, AND the weekly DEEP CLEAN! (you REALLY NEED to keep the environmental health inspectors happy!) Then there's the servicing of kitchen equipment, such as ovens, mixers and dough shapers and refrigerators! Imagine if the pizza oven blew a thermostat or a heating element during a busy night! Imagine coming into work and finding your power had gone out and all your refrigerators had defrosted and spoiled their contents! Shop shut until everything is repaired, and restocked! With food, that's even more risky where pest control is concerned! Cockroaches and mice are VERY difficult to keep away, and RATS are a constant hazard from outside, trying to get at the waste and beautiful smells from your shop!
I'm impressed at this guy's hard work, but training 2 or 3 staff to deputise whilst you sort out a crisis is ESSENTIAL to health, wealth and happiness! I have known too many solo entrepreneurs fail because they failed to DELEGATE! It often put them off ever running their own business again!
Wow that's impressive. Great job! 🍕🍕🍕 I see your from the town Napoleon Dynamite was filmed. That's awesome.
im in that movie lol
@@PizzaStopLLC what part. i bet your the guy that says I don't have any Randy. How's your neck? Stings.
be proud man you are an example to all , good luck for the future , you deserve the recognition for all the hard work
Used to do this exact thing. Water flour salt yeast and honey, proof over night. I work with Neapolitan dough and have for a year but it made me really appreciate working with that dough because Neapolitan is more difficult and you can even preset those pizza skins on a rack to improve speed during weekends. I’d love to work with you if you needed help and you’re close! I’m from Washington.
I am in Idaho. Come on down and work with me, if you’re good enough, you’ll earn you your own store one day.
Hardworking guy. Good luck on your business. Keep up the good job.
He has the most amazing time management skills and multitasking skills ever.
Thanks Tommy!
And have time to reply to almost every comment... Mann I know u count pizza jumping over the counter b4 u go to sleep... I had a lot of dreams about work like wait a min why I'm I even thinkin about work when I'm off😂😂😂😂
This is just a quiet pizza shop. I owned 3 pizza shops in my years.. and can tell you what he is doing is impossible on a friday/saturday night in a busy town.. We would have racks of pizza trays ready with the bases ready to sauce and prep for oven.. still good on him
This would never be possible in Chicago
Go Pizza Dude, Go! We Americans appreciate you! Everyone support this dude!
Philadelphia checking in I've been in the business for over 30 years. The way you run your shop matters the most. Your work ethic is awesome. A lot of employees and the majority are teenagers just for either a summer job. They don't care about the business. Smart business decision is keeping it to just Pizza when you're by yourself. You can't get overwhelmed with cheesesteaks ETC. Keep up the good content. You have a new subscriber in me.👍💪
Wow dude. That was insane!! You're a masterclass of a one man show. Bravo!
This is how America use to work, you don't see many like him today, no phone in his hand, always working and not complaining about money..it's scary people are amazed as if this is impossible.
Thanks guys! - Collin
Im pizza chef and i watched whole your video, good job man thats is hard work keep on 👍👍👍 i know how hard is making pizza i was worked as pizzaman for 4 years now im opening my pizza place
Man, you busted your butt making those pizzas 🍕 and serving the customers - all at once. Nice job. 👍🏻
Thank you
You, my friend, ROCK. You're the best part of everything.
Mannn, back when I used to work at my old pizza job I had a love hate relationship with people calling out. On one hand it was stressful, but on the other; it was fun running the shop with only two people. One running the counter/delivering, and the other making pies and covering the counter while the other is gone. This though... This truly is a testament to what one person can do :)
right, this was my life for many many years
Loved when the owner called out when I worked pizza in the past. Meant I got to actually make pizza instead of delivering/washing dishes. Loved making food, hated delivering to the area I was working in.
hello id like to speak to a manager please! I was in the restaurant earlier today ready for a tasty meal, and i stood there for a good 20 minutes just to be completely IGNORED the worker lady even keep looking right at me and did NOTHING not even a hello. She just stood there with a blank stare followed by a slightly nervous look, almost like she saw a ghost. I just wanted something filling that wouldnt just go RIGHT THROUGH ME, and this is what i get? Absolutely unbelievable the service here stinks just like my abandoned corpse im going to pizza hut! 0/5 star rating pizza stop is DEAD to me! 😭
Really good hard graft; well done. There are not many who could/would do this.
I would say, some might be a bit questioning about handling money and not washing hands before touching food. There is always the argument that the oven would kill any germs your hands picked up from the money.
yeah enough, i thought that too when i keep seeing him wipe his hands on his pants and then shake off the cheese stuff off his hands onto the pizzas. i think he would do better with some help though, it would cost like 1.5 pizzas per hour and alot less stress. i bet he works long hours doing prep and everything, i never worked in the food industry but it seems like a fast paced hectic job that requires structure and attention to detail.
@@TheRaginghalfasian I have been a manager for different companies over the years. One of them was a manager for Subway.
Depending on staff numbers vs the size of the shop, it was either very easy or very hard.
One of the things that drove staff mad was the "Gloves on while making food. Gloves off taking payment. Fresh gloves for making food" You would do this 100s of times a day.
Out of the manager's jobs I used to do, Subway was the one I disliked the most.
@@mrmrgaming safety takes time, if we could skip all the things that annoys us as laborers....
@@TheRaginghalfasian Yeah, that's why when I watch this I am a bit shocked.
He has a hand sanitizer over the topping he uses real fast and by the register. Sucks he can't fully wash, but I'm guessing he does after the restroom.
His kitchen looks very organized and so is he and preparedness.
Thank you. Being set up before the storm helps!
This kid is a hustler. Damn. Yeah I wouldn't hire any employees either. Mad respect for that hustle.
This is how work gets done. Awesome to see how you make it happen👍
Great work!
I admire that you don't prepare a few dozens rolled out pizzas in some fridge compartment before rush hours, but do roll out the dough for every pizza on demand. Assuming it comes down on order volume... worked a few years in a pizza place, doing everything kitchen related from preparing dough to cooking the pizzas etc.
During busy hours (weekends e.g.) we had 2-4 guys, splitting the tasks (rolling out dough & sauce & cheese; finising the toppings to order, handling pizzas in the ovens to just packaging & cutting) because otherwise it wasn't managable.
And even then we always prepared like 50-100 pans with dough, sauce and cheese to be even able to send orders (even for pickup & eating in) fast enough.
2 years ago as a 2nd job/night job i did all the cooking at a friends restaurant. small place. 2 sometimes 3 waiters. they made the salads, got the drinks, served the food. cleaned tables. then i washed the dishes between orders when i had a few min to load or empty the dish washer. it was lot of fun. owner let us have a free meal each night we got along great. kinda miss it now
You can see him beaming with pride running his own business. I was the same way myself when I started my first business. I was really stoked becoming my own boss. I give this young man a lot of credit and wish him lots of success.
Just opened another location! 🥳❤️ thanks for the kind words!
When I worked at Little Caesar's about 30 years ago, I ran the store by myself for 3 hours before other help, including our manager, arrived. That included prep, phone orders, cut table, and front line service. This is possible to do, if you're not TOO busy. Evening service would have been impossible without at least 3 people. I admire you doing this alone.
I did years at Caesars and Pizza Hut and we often did only one or two employees in morning and usually between lunch and dinner, around 2 to 4 or 5. It is hard work for sure, not to detract, but people acting like this is something Olympic have clearly never worked in the business before. As a GM, I worked "open to close" 6 days a week, which could easily be 15 hour days.
This guy is a go getter... Mad respect.
He does it BETTER THAN MOST!!!! LOOK HOW CLEAN AND HE CAN MULTITASK.
HE RULES!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🤩🤩🤩🔥🔥🔥
He touches the boxes and doesn’t wash his hands before touching the dough and cheese, then wiped his hands on his Tshirt, EWWWW!
wtf u mean look how clean, kid breaks a number of health codes.
It takes balls to go into a service on your own like that. Shit can go very wrong very quickly. Respect to this chap!
I love the energy on this guy! Every pie gets the same amount of love in it. Wish I could order from this place. Reminds me of knight rider : one man can make a difference. This is the proof. 1 man is making the whole business work like a charm! God bless and I hope all worked out good for you bud.
I've would of walked out within the first 5 minutes of this. This guy is Awesome
He made one pizza in the first 5 minutes 😂
Yo, this is awesome! I understand it could have some drawbacks like if you're sick but other than that I love working by myself as well. I hope your company is always highly successful, highly profitable, and you are highly happy!
Thank you for the kindness.
Imagine doing this at peak capacity or beyond for several hours, good lord you have my respects
