So last night (Good Friday) while being in the Northeast (USA), days before Opening Day, the top MLB scout took a timeout from searching for the best teenage baseball player in NJ, and focused on finding the best Pizza Pie. Leave it to a top MLB scout to walk into Santillo's Brick Oven Pizza to order a Sicilian Pie and spend a few minutes with baker/owner Al Santillo. Below is a video clip of the visit:

Customer
A visit from Scott Servais is great for business, but an even more valuable customer is Elizabeth's own Anthony Colletti, St. Mary's Varsity basketball coach for the last 20 years. Coach Colletti has been eating Santillo's Brick Oven Pizza his entire life !!! (below is a Picture of Coach Colletti when the Santillo delivery guy rings the doorbell)
