He kinda looks like that obnoxious guy from the meat shows. I couldn't really remember his name or the name of the show l. Both wearing glasses & self-proclaimed to be an culinary experts in terms of steaks & pizza.
Also the type of guy that spends 4 years of his life wandering into pizzerias ordering various things off the menu, wondering if they even should be called pizzas.
@@azmanomar7054 HOLY SHIT I SEE IT NOW THAT YOU’VE SAID IT, there’s an episode where the chef is like dude relax not every steak has to be dry aged and that host got all offended lolol
@@KingofPho75 Yeah, you’re right.. I mean, there currently aren’t millions of people following one guy going to pizza shops around the country every single day and simply rating them...
This is the most NY thing in the world, this whole video. Betweens the accents, the locations, the different attitudes each person had, and 24 minutes of pizza history. I love it haha
@@Powerslave234 Wrong. New York still has everything, and this ep did a good job of representing just a small sample of what you can find in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Bay Ridge is only one neighborhood... and its not even featured here. What vid were you watching?
I grew up on Luigi's pizza. I remember his son, who is interviewed, as a young gold chain wearing, Italian stud of the neighborhood. My friends and I had much respect for Mr. Luigi every time we went to his pizzeria. This show brought back awesome childhood memories.
I usually keep ingredients for pizza in my house so I got the oven heating up, just made a 4 personal size pizza's on naan bread, gonna cook them up and watch another episode! impossible to not eat when you watch these.

I tried going to Lombardi's pizza but ended up going to Famous Ben's on Thompson street that day. Omg I had a grandma slice, a large pepperoni slice and a sicilian. Sheeeeeeh let me tell you.....so delicious
dannabyss world i was that way too but i get bored about pizza history or the restaurant history. i just like seeing how they make it but this series has too much talking
R. Catania definitely not overrated if he’s getting average 9.3 ratings. He’s more popular for the fact that of his story and how he’s so good in such a small amount of time
Dam, "I dont work, I come here to hang out!" Brought a tear to my eye... my first job was like that, made great friends and finally came out of my awkwardness... can only dream of finding a job like that again
Same. I worked as a hostess for TGIFriday’s for years and it never felt like work. It was a blast and I made great friends. And it helped with my confidence a lot.
I read your comment, saw it coming, and I still teared up. My first job I met the greatest friends I've had outside of family and went from being incompetent and shy into a decent worker not afraid to make friends anywhere. It's time well spent I'd pay for, not need to *get* payed for. We close today.
quintessential doenst mean that one is better than another. quintessential has to do with representing a certain style... in this case NYC style pizza.
I love this show. I’ve watched it many times. My 9 year old daughter and I have watched this at midnight when she couldn’t sleep and she came down stairs. We were craving pizza so hard that I made some make shift pizza with bagels, spaghetti sauce and cheese just to satiate that craving. It will forever be a moment in time that we will both cherish. The production is top notch but Frank Pinello is what makes this show such a gem. He is so genuine and knowledgeable that you can’t help but be enthralled by the journey. Thank you for all that had a hand in making this.
This is not just an ode to pizza, but an ode to a way of running businesses that's dying out. Seeing all these places run by siblings who have inherited it from older generations is just beautiful. I used to work in a bookshop run by three sisters, the third generation of the family. The family had been selling books in the city for over a century. It closed down back in 2018, and two of the three main bookshops in town are big chains. The old unit is still empty, and anytime I pass by it breaks my heart a little.
These businesses thrived in areas that are middle to high density, with mixed-use zoning. How the grid layout cities were built before WW2 ended. Basically, suburban sprawl and Euclidian zoning killed off mom and pop businesses, because only malls and big box stores can survive in that sort of environment.
Luigi's pizzeria at the end has the best story. According to him, making pizza doesn't even feel like work. It's a fun thing to do when hanging out. I love that. I need to find myself work like that.
Guy made a good point at 19:04 People think we live better now, but actually back in the 1950s, the average blue collar worker could pay out a brand new house with two years of work. Nowadays, even white collar people need to pay off their student loans first before even starting to think about a house.
@@latinolawdog5067 LOL look up the stats , blacks and Browns had better lives back then apart from some racism, the statistics say it all, lots more satisfied households, no embarrassingly huge single mother pandemics like today and way less crime and poverty unlike today's ruined cities
cuz people are stupid, especially when is about food, trust me, Pizza é nostro Dio, si? solo il vero può realizzare, Pizza è vita, Ma mammia, Che bello!!
I visited a friend a while back and he took me to Luigi's. Everyone was super friendly and I got a fresh mozzarella slice, best pizza I've ever had. Four years later, I haven't found anything that good. I still dream about that slice, man. Makes me sad to live on the west coast.
I live in Finland and I got to experience NYC at the age of 18 last summer, still feeling very blessed about that, and I have to say it was just different man. The hot summer nights, the restaurants and the little shops.. it's not like it was even any hotter over there than it is here when it's summer, or that the food was even that different from what I can get over here, but it was an experience. I still can't get over it, like when I bought a slice of pizza and a dr. pepper it was just DIFFERENT. NYC was another world man. This video almost got me crying all of a sudden. ♥️
As a Southerner I was always told that New Yorkers were mean as heck. And their accents scared me. I first met a real one in my early early 30s. I been in love with them every since. They are the sweetest people and make the best most loyal friends in the world.
After visiting New York in May and having the best pizza ever,I can’t eat a pizza from anywhere now in the U.K. where I live. I’m a young 68 year old man and I’m coming back to New York very soon,not just for pizza,I love the place🇬🇧🇺🇸
Man I live in southwestern PA, never been to NYC but would love to go one day. I'm half Polish, quarter Italian, quarter German, but I was primarily raised by my mother's side of the family which is pure Italian. Grew up around the cuisine, the language, all of it, and I gotta say, I feel the love in this video. That's what so many people these days don't understand, the value that's placed on family and community with these people, it's irreplaceable. Everyone is genuine and passionate about the food they make and the people they make happy in the process, and you can feel (and taste) it.
Totally worth it. I know it coz I did it. Not just New York tho. We did the entire east coast. It took us 20 days maybe, I dont remember. Personally my favorite was the chicago deep. But New York slice didn't come far behind.
“This oven right here has been making pizzas since 1924” wow that oven is a history item, can you imagine, that oven is older than most people on this Earth
Homie at Luigi’s is incredible. I got chills listening to him talk about pizzas. Made over a million pies, but “it’s like I never made a single one I love it so much”.
Mark R If you ever get the chance to eat New York pizza then you better savor every last bite because it is so fucking good. I've had a lot of different kinds of food in my life but I would have to say that a slice of New York pizza stands at the top as king.
Gotta get that Guisepinas pizza man, some weird small dark light pizzeria in Brooklyn, I live 15 min from it and though its expensive, is super super light, and tastes phenomenal
Frank is the man, very intuitive, and is incredibly humble when learning about all the unique aspects that these specific places have. I hope That he checks these comments at least once because I have never heard a negative comment about him.
Frank can play a mobster anytime of the week. He's just too cool and too smooth like an old school mobster, from back in the day. Someone should give this guy a part. Great look and great voice.
@@vanmoody No joke, the Lombardi's outpost in Philadelphia closed so it could move, but it was blocked by the state and they cited the owner's ties to Brescio who was recognized as a mafia capo. Of course he said he knew nothing about it, but the fact he also claimed to know nothing of Brescio's ties sounds suspect. With the regulators saying there was overwhelming evidence of trafficking and criminal activity at every turn involving them and that the storefront was a means of gaining a foothold in PA, it's really tough to doubt it.
frank is the best and this episode is probably my favorite of the series; that glimpse into luigi's pizza was so genuine. thanks for this caliber of content.
I am so glad I grew up in Jersey and NYC, I have so many great memories having a slice of pizza with a grape soda in a hot summer night. Don't forget a lemon or cherry italian ice. The energy of the city is just amazing, something that the rest of the country would never understand unless you grew up here. My spot is Luigi's Pizza in Brooklyn, hands down.
There are over a dozen so-called pizza shops within a 10 mile radius of my home and not one offers a pizza as authentic and mouth-watering as the pizzas shown in this video.
what "authentic"?this garbage piece of shit counterfeit pizza??americans have no fuckin idea how to make pizza and they never will.the only REAL pizza is the pizza we make here in Napoli...not this american crap made by fake italians who cant even pronounce their last names correctly .you need mozzarella di buffala CAMPANA (D.O.P),real extra virgin olive oil,sauce made from a particular type of tomatoes,00 flour ,have to let the dough rise for 30 to 40+ hours.and you need to know how to spin the dough correctly...plus other shit i wont disclose because you americans dont deserve to eat our fuckin food.go flip a hamburger
@@ciociaroirrequiete2927 The English are said to have invented football yet they're obviously not the best at it. Regardless it was ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS who invented American pizza.
I eat pizza 6 days a week for over 28 years, so watching all those pizzas was mouth watering. If I ever get chance to go over to a New York pizzeria I’d be in heaven for sure
@@hm096 pizza can be healthy depending on the kind of toppings you use. It's definitely not the worst thing you can be addicted to if you put in enough veggies
5:32 "get outta here" lmao! I replayed that like 10 times. This is my favorite episode because I've been to most of these pizzerias and they really are the best in the world. They're simple, crispy, the essence of pizza flavor only in New York!
thatcuriousguy just because people like different toppings doesn't mean its " Complicated " . Pizza has its history . Your probably used to that Dominoes or Hot N' Ready 5$ pizza .
If anyone were to over complicate pizza it would probably be Heston Blumenthal.. NOTHING against him im a huge fan, but watch his "Pefect" videos.. Nothings really over complicated here, just alot of variety. Keep in mind i dont think he ever tried to make the "perfect" pizza but other videos shows how extreme he can be.
Luigi's is the truth! Used to live right around the corner for 5 year. Gio and family are the best and are always so welcoming and kind to not just me but everybody that walks through the doors. Much love
The secret of a good pizza it is the dough and the quality of the ingredients overall...and then all styles of pizza can offer something that it is unique.
"he had a mule, he was somebody" i love thatsentence all the mediterranean people can relate to that for the old days to now (eve though it is less now)
Not really a big fan of cheese but traditional danish food is pretty fucking good.. Roastpork with crackling etc, and yeah licorice is pretty big here too, and im a big fan of it myself : ). Roastpork with crackling + potatoes with brown gravy and caramel/sugar browned potatoes is literally the best dish ever. And don't forget rødkål!
I've watched alot of these munchies series where they talk about other foods......reason why I always come back to Frank is cause he sees no reason to swear or be vulgar....and his respect(nevermind the love) just the respect alone....makes him one if the greatest....thank you frank
This is my favorite episode I've seen so far. Great characters and history. Also as a native Brooklynite who grew up eating pizza I recognized and have eaten at most of these pizzerias or ones like them. I'm lactose intolerant now and watching my weight so I don't eat pizza much but I really enjoy making it and the occasional fresh slice. I like to visit a great pizzeria once a year and stuff myself and feel sick afterward! My favorites are of the old original Lombardi's lineage, in particular Juliana's which is the same pizzeria under the Brooklyn Bridge that opened as Patsy's, when that brand was sold to become a chain they became Grimaldi's, when that brand was sold to become a chain they became Juliana's. Located in the original location halfway down the block from the big corner Grimaldi's seen in the video. They were my favorite growing up and remain so. Their pepperoni is what I strive for. So I loved this episode. I'm not as in touch with the newer pizzerias as I was when I was a kid and made pizza pilgrimages out to the best NYC pizzerias. Now that I've started making great pizza at home I'm going to have to start visiting great pizzerias again.
My Sicilian ex grandfather in law used to say, "never trust anyone sitting and talk about eating pizza" - only trust men who shut up, sit down and eat 😂😂😂 RIP nonno Ignacio, thanks for teaching me how to make a Sicilian pizza pie

I hope the cameraman gets to eat as much as the host, carrying that bigass camera on him the whole day
The guy at Luigi's is so passionate and genuine that makes me wanna hug him
Like me too🤪
I know Gio and he is an awesome person. If you eat his Pizza..... You'll never be satisfied with anything else
Grew up on Luigi's pizza, I lived up the block on 6th avenue.

All of a sudden I’m craving a slice of pizza...
Infinite Athletics C’mon man you know your craving more than a single slice 😏
18:19 That menu brings me back to the late 90s. Don't see that much anymore. It's all digital menus on 4k TVs.
Im going to get pizza now
+M Chan YO LEMME GET A SLICE
Rod We still have a lot of pizzarias on Long Island with that 90s menu.
As a Southerner I was always told that New Yorkers were mean as heck. And their accents scared me. I first met a real one in my early early 30s. I been in love with them every since. They are the sweetest people and make the best most loyal friends in the world.
“When you do something that you like so much, it’s not a job.”
Gio is a legend
Anyone else love the classic Italian New York accent?
Yup
Yes!!!
not quite
Hey, Ahm from Noo Yawk n I doan have no friggin' aksen. Yoo have duh aksen.
Its annoying 😂
After visiting New York in May and having the best pizza ever,I can’t eat a pizza from anywhere now in the U.K. where I live. I’m a young 68 year old man and I’m coming back to New York very soon,not just for pizza,I love the place🇬🇧🇺🇸
23:37 "You do good work, you're busy"
Stay busy guys! What a great line right here, uf.
Scott has a new glow in this video. He doesn’t look like a backpack virgin anymore
He talks like a CEO. Good for you
Man I live in southwestern PA, never been to NYC but would love to go one day. I'm half Polish, quarter Italian, quarter German, but I was primarily raised by my mother's side of the family which is pure Italian. Grew up around the cuisine, the language, all of it, and I gotta say, I feel the love in this video. That's what so many people these days don't understand, the value that's placed on family and community with these people, it's irreplaceable. Everyone is genuine and passionate about the food they make and the people they make happy in the process, and you can feel (and taste) it.
If I ever go to New York, I’m going to see Luigi.
me too.
MedianaDhea ...planned a trip for early November. Can’t wait YO!
Local HVAC Guy how was it
Jeremy Borrero UK?
this makes me wanna take a vacation to new york just for pizzas alone .
Totally worth it. I know it coz I did it. Not just New York tho. We did the entire east coast. It took us 20 days maybe, I dont remember. Personally my favorite was the chicago deep. But New York slice didn't come far behind.
People come here for reasons other than pizza?
Iss Nick Bih history?
Sa me
Skip New York and head to New Haven for the best Apizza on earth.
“This oven right here has been making pizzas since 1924” wow that oven is a history item, can you imagine, that oven is older than most people on this Earth
Hate to break it to you but there are a lot of things are older than most people on Earth.
@@Clarity_Control that wasn't his point
Homie at Luigi’s is incredible. I got chills listening to him talk about pizzas. Made over a million pies, but “it’s like I never made a single one I love it so much”.
This made me so fucking hungry and I do not live in NY, maybe someday I could travel just to eat pizzas
It's fucking amazing.
+ThatGuyInNY212 mice dropping pizza
Mark R If you ever get the chance to eat New York pizza then you better savor every last bite because it is so fucking good. I've had a lot of different kinds of food in my life but I would have to say that a slice of New York pizza stands at the top as king.
Gotta get that Guisepinas pizza man, some weird small dark light pizzeria in Brooklyn, I live 15 min from it and though its expensive, is super super light, and tastes phenomenal
Kidknapped white sauce peppers onions spinach and feta omg mouth watering now
I am a simple man, I see pizza and New York, I click
Maruō Create Amen!
Frank is the man, very intuitive, and is incredibly humble when learning about all the unique aspects that these specific places have. I hope That he checks these comments at least once because I have never heard a negative comment about him.
I’m deaddddd “you gotta walk normal! C’monnn” 😂😂😂😂
Welcome to New York 😂
08:09 she’s so old school and sweet, she even asked the customers to sing happy birthday lol
So sweet right. I love people like her.
Frank can play a mobster anytime of the week. He's just too cool and too smooth like an old school mobster, from back in the day. Someone should give this guy a part. Great look and great voice.
I heard that John Brescio the owner of Lombardis is a mobster.
@@vanmoody No joke, the Lombardi's outpost in Philadelphia closed so it could move, but it was blocked by the state and they cited the owner's ties to Brescio who was recognized as a mafia capo. Of course he said he knew nothing about it, but the fact he also claimed to know nothing of Brescio's ties sounds suspect. With the regulators saying there was overwhelming evidence of trafficking and criminal activity at every turn involving them and that the storefront was a means of gaining a foothold in PA, it's really tough to doubt it.
frank is the best and this episode is probably my favorite of the series; that glimpse into luigi's pizza was so genuine. thanks for this caliber of content.
God, if I lived in New York, I swear I’d have like three slices of pizza a day.
Trust me, as a New Yorker, that’s so fucking little.
I live in Brooklyn. I swear I'll jump off the bus to grab a slice
@@battlepants5836 for me, a casual trio to New park easily 5 slices. Place is so good.
Rookie numbers my guy
Sam D 🤣🤣🤣😂
I am so glad I grew up in Jersey and NYC, I have so many great memories having a slice of pizza with a grape soda in a hot summer night. Don't forget a lemon or cherry italian ice. The energy of the city is just amazing, something that the rest of the country would never understand unless you grew up here. My spot is Luigi's Pizza in Brooklyn, hands down.
There are over a dozen so-called pizza shops within a 10 mile radius of my home and not one offers a pizza as authentic and mouth-watering as the pizzas shown in this video.
Business idea?
Be the first authentic pizza place!
what "authentic"?this garbage piece of shit counterfeit pizza??americans have no fuckin idea how to make pizza and they never will.the only REAL pizza is the pizza we make here in Napoli...not this american crap made by fake italians who cant even pronounce their last names correctly .you need mozzarella di buffala CAMPANA (D.O.P),real extra virgin olive oil,sauce made from a particular type of tomatoes,00 flour ,have to let the dough rise for 30 to 40+ hours.and you need to know how to spin the dough correctly...plus other shit i wont disclose because you americans dont deserve to eat our fuckin food.go flip a hamburger
Frankie B lol you’re so E P I C dude
@@ciociaroirrequiete2927 The English are said to have invented football yet they're obviously not the best at it. Regardless it was ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS who invented American pizza.
this video radiates such fucking raw positive new york energy and i love it
I eat pizza 6 days a week for over 28 years, so watching all those pizzas was mouth watering. If I ever get chance to go over to a New York pizzeria I’d be in heaven for sure
John Yeomans that doesn’t sound healthy at all...
G O D’s 2nd Account but literally every New Yorker loves that type of life style. I don’t know how they do it, but they do. Lol
@@hm096 pizza can be healthy depending on the kind of toppings you use. It's definitely not the worst thing you can be addicted to if you put in enough veggies
no sign of diabetes or cholesterol ?
@@lilyoyo77 do you know why op didn't respond? Dead people can't type.
5:32 "get outta here" lmao! I replayed that like 10 times. This is my favorite episode because I've been to most of these pizzerias and they really are the best in the world. They're simple, crispy, the essence of pizza flavor only in New York!
Pizza is so simple, people over complicate the shit out of it.
thatcuriousguy just because people like different toppings doesn't mean its " Complicated " . Pizza has its history . Your probably used to that Dominoes or Hot N' Ready 5$ pizza .
Edwin Elizalde thats cool
Edwin Elizalde lol yes at your comment. Dude probably likes them lunchables pizza
If anyone were to over complicate pizza it would probably be Heston Blumenthal.. NOTHING against him im a huge fan, but watch his "Pefect" videos.. Nothings really over complicated here, just alot of variety. Keep in mind i dont think he ever tried to make the "perfect" pizza but other videos shows how extreme he can be.
Edwin Elizalde That Hot N Ready $5 pizza makes me want to cry.
Dropped everything I was doing when I saw the notification. Love it ❤
The secrete ingredient is “ love” of what you’re doing to have it come out the best....and that’s in everything in life.
Right said man
This is by far the best show that has been on Munchies.
Not gonna lie, every time I order a pizza I watch this. is that a problem?
Luigi's is the truth! Used to live right around the corner for 5 year. Gio and family are the best and are always so welcoming and kind to not just me but everybody that walks through the doors. Much love
I like how everyone agrees that Scott Wiener sucks
@@ShawnFX awww so sweet Murican bastard....
@@ShawnFX People are so nice in america...
I think it's sad.
MLP Shawn everyone hates anti-semites like u
he's actually decent on his own youtube series that's as popular as this one.
Frank and Mark are the best on this show. Love their energy. Just seem like really cool, down to earth guys.
The secret of a good pizza it is the dough and the quality of the ingredients overall...and then all styles of pizza can offer something that it is unique.
"he had a mule, he was somebody" i love thatsentence all the mediterranean people can relate to that for the old days to now (eve though it is less now)
If I was a rich man I would be on a plane to NYC as I type this comment
The only reason shit is so expensive in NY is because of, all the mob taxes. One of the benefits of unvetted mass immigration
TheGoldenHorncall sucks for you. I live 20 minutes from nyc. Hehe
Do it. Go. I did in 2008. So worth it.
Hell with that, I would have one made for me right there.
You are millionaire. I'll never meet you so,go and enjoy those pizzas brother.
NY sure seems like pizza heaven... Too bad im stuck in Denmark.
RuneFun12 You have good cheese and licorice!
Not really a big fan of cheese but traditional danish food is pretty fucking good.. Roastpork with crackling etc, and yeah licorice is pretty big here too, and im a big fan of it myself : ). Roastpork with crackling + potatoes with brown gravy and caramel/sugar browned potatoes is literally the best dish ever. And don't forget rødkål!
Is Denmark exactly how South Park made it look?
Absolutely nothing to do with southpark. My comment was travel based.
I don't know, I'd probably rather visit Denmark
This just reminds me of better simpler times pre covid. Miss the vibrancy Of people doing what they love with people they love.
People will do this again. Trust me!
Pizza, that's some good stuff right there guys am I right

Awwww, I love that last guy, he's so happy and genuine 😊
Been to Luigi's a couple of times. Great pizza.
I've watched alot of these munchies series where they talk about other foods......reason why I always come back to Frank is cause he sees no reason to swear or be vulgar....and his respect(nevermind the love) just the respect alone....makes him one if the greatest....thank you frank
I always love this episode , it really shows how humble and greatful Frank and mark are even though they've accomplished so much in life
Is it just me or does Mark seem like the type of guy who'd be in the mafia if this was the 1910-1950's
EmuPlays Ya think they just went away? 🤣
funny story...
He had a knife fight with a low-level mafia goon a few years back who was actually Mark's childhood friend in Carroll Gardens, few years ago....
Lol, I could say the same for the first and the last guy
Nah he’s way too good looking. He’s more of that clean law abiding guy that was heavily associated with mob but wasn’t officially in the mob
I like how passionate the last dude is about making pizza.
iPod 97 look at my video bandz
The man till this day. Still charges 2.50 a slices even during pandemic times! It amazing the quality of food he serves at that price!
I was hoping Frank would get lit like the last episode.
Darwin's Beer Reviews he's going to get lit in the Korean episode for sure.
"So do you want anything on it? Like cheese? Extra cheese?" - You can have any topping you want as long as it is cheese.
This is my favorite episode I've seen so far. Great characters and history. Also as a native Brooklynite who grew up eating pizza I recognized and have eaten at most of these pizzerias or ones like them. I'm lactose intolerant now and watching my weight so I don't eat pizza much but I really enjoy making it and the occasional fresh slice. I like to visit a great pizzeria once a year and stuff myself and feel sick afterward! My favorites are of the old original Lombardi's lineage, in particular Juliana's which is the same pizzeria under the Brooklyn Bridge that opened as Patsy's, when that brand was sold to become a chain they became Grimaldi's, when that brand was sold to become a chain they became Juliana's. Located in the original location halfway down the block from the big corner Grimaldi's seen in the video. They were my favorite growing up and remain so. Their pepperoni is what I strive for. So I loved this episode. I'm not as in touch with the newer pizzerias as I was when I was a kid and made pizza pilgrimages out to the best NYC pizzerias. Now that I've started making great pizza at home I'm going to have to start visiting great pizzerias again.
My Sicilian ex grandfather in law used to say, "never trust anyone sitting and talk about eating pizza" - only trust men who shut up, sit down and eat 😂😂😂 RIP nonno Ignacio, thanks for teaching me how to make a Sicilian pizza pie
Can't wait until vice makes frank do an episode on the marginalized underground transexual pizza scene
lol
nobody wants your pizza
hope they never do as he is fucking awsome
