It's Tuesday and that means it's time to check out some of the best of New Jersey. ST team. Meteorologist Mike Rizzo went out to try Santillo S Pizza in Elizabeth. We're back with Al now and Al we got the oven, we got a pizza in the oven. We're gonna put the pizza but just made in the oven. So tell me what's so special about this oven here. The ceiling alone, there's over 5000 bricks turned long ways in the ceiling. Those bricks hold all the heat and radiate it down into your food. Is that the trick to like the pizza? There's, there's like 800 things you gotta do. Right. I'll be here all day writing volumes on everything you gotta do to make it come just so all the time at any time. How long will it take to cook this pizza? One of the beauties of Santos is you got the all time customers like the immigrants and stuff that they came here 100 years ago and they like it board. I like it all, like bruised up and blistered and blistery crispy and they like the cheese brown and smoked and and well done and I'm giving them what they want. That's great. That's great. So we're gonna come back in a few minutes, gonna check out the finished pie and man, it smells great in here right now and that should be out in like eight or nine minutes.

Back in my day. All right, let's see where the forecast is headed. As we go into the weekend, we've got rain. We have wind and a lot of it. Now, the timing of it is going to be critical. Most of the storminess that we're anticipating for Sunday is going to happen very late Sunday night into early Monday morning, the weekend is salvageable. Saturday is great and warm. We just see a little bit more cloud coverage. The first part of Sunday, up until about maybe three, four o'clock in the afternoon should be dry. Then the showers start and become steadier and heavier when all is said and done. We're likely going to pick up between 1 to 2 inches of rain in our rain gauges and a lot of that is going to happen very quickly and then the winds are picking up also. So it's a wind driven rain and if we do approach wind gusts of 4045 maybe even 50 miles an hour and it lasts for a couple of hours occasionally hitting those gusts, not, it's not gonna be a 34 hour sustained 40 or 50 mile an hour. Wind gust, it's periodically happening, but that's the type of wind that could get the power to flicker from time to time. We're at 39 dropping down to about 32. The opportunity for rain is going to be Sunday night into Monday morning, Saturday is looking great. Sunday afternoon is ok. It's cloudy but you'll be able to feel it in the air that the rain is certainly going to be building. So for tonight, temperatures, twenties and thirties with just a few clouds around Friday is gorgeous with sunshine. Temperatures are back up into the upper forties. We look at the extended forecast and as I mentioned, Saturday is warm but clouds are building Sunday morning, early Sunday afternoon, cloudy dry that changes going into Sunday night into early Monday morning. Give yourself a lot of extra time in that Monday morning routine to potentially deal with some travel headaches, getting wherever you go, the rain and the wind are gone for next week, the sunshine is back out but the cold that returns with morning lows in the twenties and thirties, daytime highs in the lower forties.

Well, it is Tuesday and that means it's time to check out some of the best of New Jersey. Meteorologist Mike Rizzo went out to try Santillo S pizza in Elizabeth. We're here with pizza at Al Santillo in Elizabeth and I'm here with the man himself. Al Thank you for having us and I, I still got the oomph to do it. That's it. So, tell me a little history about your place. My grandfather came to this country in 1912. We believe we have the true recipe that's never been changed. I'm third generation father to son. I don't think anybody else can make that claim. And this recipe is true Neapolitan bread dough recipe, which isn't the same as pizza dough. You can taste the difference p sauce and the best cheese. And it's made in this brick oven over here. And that's, that's a real oven. That's the original oven that the family had built here. So we're gonna get nitty gritty. We're gonna get down to, we're gonna make some pies here uh in a few minutes.
