- Frank Pinello visits the self proclaimed "pizza capital of the world" Old Forge, Pennsylvania. This small town of just over 9,000 people has over twenty pizzerias, all serving a unique rectangular pizza that has its very own lingo. Frank visits a few Old Forge staples like Arcaro & Genell and Revello's for a red "tray" and a double stuffed white and meets with some locals to learn more about this town and its special relationship to pizza. Remember, when visiting Old Forge, don't you dare ask for a slice! It's a "cut" here.

Munchies Dude, go easy on those tatts for christ sake.
“Self proclaimed” .... exactly!
Is that a DeGeneration X hat?
Kreekru dont hate because we are the pizza capital of the world
So I was randomly doing research on Pizza culture in Buenos Aires, Argentina and weirdly all of the trademarks of Old Forge-Style Pizza show up there too. (Thick fluffy dough, heavy cheese, double-crust white pizzas) Wondering if there's a good reason for that - regional origins of the local Italian communities? We need Pizza Show: Buenos Aires...

one of the many charms of this show is how Frank is actually genuinely interested in learning different ways to make pizza in America, and he's not at all condescending even if he himself is a pizza connoisseur. 👌
Also this is one of the most supportive communities I've watched on this show so far.
Bho Check Yes I agree!
It's, like, the opposite of Really Dough! There, it's just Mark Iacono being a lovable curmudgeon eating bizarre pizza concoctions and deeming them not pizza, and here, Frank is excited about every pizza variant he comes across, and wants to pass his passion onto the masses!
Bho Check cheddar on pizza?
He also doesn’t like dominos, so he is actually a human
Man it sucks this show isn’t around anymore. Being from New York we have some of the best pizza, but this show really made me have an appreciation for other places.
*bites into literally any pizza* "it's nice and light"
Love they were all supportive of each other. This makes me wanna visit!
Ave Pi i love living here in old forge
The 570 Yay to Pizza eating 👌 Looks like a neat smalltown. 😀
Ave Pi they kind underplayed it a lil...yea theres 20 pizza places in our small town...but theres probably another 10 or 15 other restaurants that dont serve pizza...that interview with the mayor...they are sitting in front of bacci ball pits...what pizza place has bacci ball pits for you to enjoy while you eat?....only in old forge
The 570 I'm from NZ 😂 we're small. We have Sal's here, been a few times but it tastes really fake.
same here, is lovely to see that
restaurant owner guy: we're the self-proclaimed pizza capital of the world
italy: *launches several nukes*
7:33 cameraman doing her dirty
*WHAT ARE THOOOOSE?!?*
+Yvr Jd LMFAO :-D omg you killed me.
Im dead
+Randy Miller III :-P those are called Croc's.
Mario Batali wears them in Orange, like every day of his life LOL
her shoes inspired balenciaga's newest fashion show
lmao hoen
Lmao
Frank (don't know if you read the comments), but I think this is one of your best episodes. You took us somewhere I never knew existed and got me to appreciate their culture. This is why I love the show and think you get better at it over time. You have a natural curiosity in people and that's crucial to what you do. Can't wait for the next episode.

Well said.
I'm from Philly and I have friends in towns all over this area: Wilkes Barre, Pittston, Scranton ... but I met a new friend who lives in Old Forge and he gave me a tour of his hometown. It is wonderful. This program is about pizza but up and down the main street are several fantastic Italian restaurants. This area, formally anthracite coal mining towns, is really unique and worth visiting.
The thing I love most about Frank is that he is so respectful and kind to everyone. He brings out the best in all the pizza makers. What a wonderful presenter. My favorite of any host.
Frank is the best host... what a sweetheart. I love how he interacts with the pizza makers...so gracious.
He's my dad
Fav episode so far. The people of that town genuinely like and respect one another. Very refreshing indeed.
Yeah, was shorter than some but def. one of my fave episodes!
Yes, I did just dab on the news.
xdd
The dad looked like he wanted to die
The last thing I wanted to do was die. lol. Dabbing is the bomb.
yo its actually his dad HAHAh amazing
:)
I could literally watch this show all day, I wish there were more episodes out
All those pizzas look like the pizza they used to serve us in middle school.
Yeah, doughy sugary crap
The stuff you have in middle school is trying to be this. It’s trying to be Detroit and NY Sicilian as well. The difference is the way it’s cooked and the ingredients used.
It is
@@user-zy9yg2eu5t with pizza you go big or go home and eat tuna and crackers. I hate small food.
@@BigBadJerryRogers If you hate small food that's your problem, not pizza's problem lol.
My mom's family comes from Wilkes Barre. I and one of the things I loved about visiting was eating Old Forge style pizza. At the best places, your only choice was the size and whether you wanted onions on it.
The whole point of The Pizza Show is to showcase the variety of pizza around the world. If you only want to see the kind of pizza YOU like, then search whatever that is specifically, instead of tuning in to this and then complaining in the comments.
damn... why do I always watch this show late at night with no food in the house?
RedroomStudios Haha I know. I came prepered this time but not really digging this cheeseburger pizza. Ill get it right soon enough.
@@davidhunt9477 Well you screwed up ordering cheeseburger pizza in the first place.
One of my favorite bands called Title Fight is from Kingston, PA and they're always talking about pizza places in their town and how good they are and how PA is known for pizza. I guess there's tons of cities in PA like this one. Awesome episode.
Kingston is right down the road from Old Forge and a lot of places in the region try to copy their pizza.
One bite everybody knows the rules nothing higher than a 7.5
moderatesunited prez must have watches this video
Unless there's a Chuck E Cheese then he will give them a 9.9 everybody knows the rules
The accents were 100% gold. So interesting how a small town could foster so many.
Being a Scranton native who grew up on Old Forge pizza, I have to say that Arcaro and Genell is the best!
Marconi's
Roma’s is where it’s at
Suffering Brings Wisdom but you HAVE TO EAT IT THERE it can’t be eaten anywhere else
Hows Michael Scott?
No it's gotta be Marino's man
In the bgeinning where Frank was like "The Pizza Capital of the worllddddddddd"
Was probably the first hint of saracasm/trolling I've ever seen from him on the show lol.
Grew up in that area and have lived all over the country... there is nothing like it anywhere. Thanks Frank! When are you going to shoot new episodes ??
I rewatch all three seasons over and over
PLEASE GIVE ME MORE
I am Proud of our Town and yes there were other Pizza Places Frank did not visit here in Old Forge. All of them have their own taste and all are so delicious. Five of them are full Restaurants. They ship their Pizza to people who grew up here all around the Country.
What a wonderful community, bonding over food. I absolutely love it.
Pizza looks good, everyone here commenting like Gordon Ramsay on some microwaved ice cream or some shit
"Pizza"
I sincerely question the quality of a pizza made by someone who says they mix mozzarella and cheddar with their cheese...
I hope this boosts tourism around there. It's not far from New York or Philly so it could become a day trip pizza pilgrimage for those folks. :)
This is a nice touristy area. Or it was before covid. You could stop at some ghost towns on the way and some old mining towns. And there is a lot more old Forge style pizza then and just this town. There is a bit of Amish country and some solid hiking trails like Pinnacle
That town needs its own tv show... "Old Forge!" population 9000?
I really love this show...
Not the pizza capital of the world but man Old Forge pizza is good. Don't knock it until you try it. I literally had to detour going back from NYC into this small city to try it.
ShikiKaze i agree. That would have to be Naples. But these guys seem like theyre doin their thang!
Wasted trip. It's a town full of undercooked sicilian slices that rank no higher than a 7. If you were going to try a non-New York pizza town, New Haven, CT should have been it.
@@morpheusxnyc This isnt true. Yes they have sicilian slices, they also have regular square,as well as round....
@@morpheusxnyc yeah I saw those scilians and they did look under cooked.
julian slavin Did you even watch the video ?Lol there not Sicilian slices. The guy even says it it’s a lighter dough. Just because it’s square doesn’t mean it’s a Sicilian slice. Watch the whole video man, not just the intro. You watch then comment.
It's so neat seeing your home town on a platform like this! Love it.
Do u like pizza?
The cheese was hardly melted on that Rinaldi "tray"
Frank you make me "LOVE PIZZA" It is so interesting to learn the differences from place to place in the USA ! Thank you for sharing !!!
Old Forge may technically have a pop of 9000, but it's in the Scranton, Wilkes Barre valley area with a population of over 500000. Main street in Old Forge is the same Main street that runs through Scranton. The consumer base is pretty big.
Never stop making these shows. Cant get enough
Is Frank ever going to head to Italy? Surely its deserving of some attention...
It's also incredibly expensive.
I'm pretty sure he went to Rome and there will be an episode on that.
What you talking about? x)
yep
italian pizza sucks though, they don't eat it the way we do
Best. pizza. show. EVER!!
The best!
This show is so amazing. I never realized how much I actually love pizza!
I'm loving these videos with Frank. He's a great host and knows his way around a pie!
I'm addicted to this damn pizza show man
Munchies the intro with the pizza box and the music is the best ever btw.
imagine calling yourself the pizza capital of the world and its all just mediocre pizza with half baked dough lmaooo
That was really nice. Thanks for traveling there and sharing this.
Great episode
Man I need to visit Old Forge next time I'm in Pennsylvania.
That was so heartwarming.
Such a great show.
looking at the mayor you can say he likes pizza a lot
He's living the dream.
wichura999 Well, he likes them all
Thicc
He is paid in slices, or "cuts".
He did say he likes them all.
“I eat pizza everyday, and I try to eat it every night to.” Me: SAME 😂
Frank does a great job showing the different variations of Pizza there is a lot of history and tradition behind a simple yet tasty food
lovely video, i laughed so much and cried too cuz how pizza brings everybody together
I need to make a pizza pilgrimage to Old Forge
Bring it home with you it's kind of like bakery slices. Bring home a whole pie because it tastes better the next day. Everyone eats a cold the next day. It's kind of like chilli it doesn't consist of a lot of spices it's just about the sauce and cheese and it comes through better for some reason after being in the fridge
My Family lives in Old Forge, still. I lived there for 5 years, the 7 months of gloomy, freezing weather really kicked my azz! I love Old Forge Pizza though. Its different & delicious.
A few issues during those years. Not many deliver (if any) A lot are closed on Sunday, even Monday. You would think, during Football season, that's when those kind of places would be open.
It may have changed since I left, who knows.
I guess you don't talk to your family, they would probably know
I have never seen a bad show from Frank and the Munchies crew. Pizza Show always makes me smile
Great episode and great rep's from the town
The best show ever
"A town fueled by pizza"......sounds like the town I wanna live in. lol
Another awesome video, keep it up Frank. Putting Old Forge on the list!!!
I could be wrong, but when I lived in Taylor (right next door to Old Forge) in the early 70's, Old Forge was in the Guiness Book as having the most pizzerias per square mile, giving them that claim. Then I moved to NY, where they say pie instead of tray. Two different worlds, all of them great. And when I'm in Old Forge, Arcaro & Genell's is best (and they have a cool bocce pit, too).
Thats always how I thought we got pizza capital of the world, like theres at least 1 pizza place per building.
You gotta go to Angelos pizza. In Wilkes barre, PA about 30 minutes from old forge.
Every pizza looks amazing.

What an awesome host for this show, how does he do it every time from the narration to how he shows his love to pizza and ppl who make it, what great show
this show is legendary
Woo! Old Forge getting recognition!
I always get hungry when Frank starts eating them pizza
What keeps these businesses in business after 50 yrs is the fact that they own the land, the building and their equipment ❤️ Pizza businesses starting out today can't compete with the rent prices Land Lords gauge. Only the big chains can survive in this sort of business environment. So, to all self starters today..... Be sharp and shrewd, unless you don't own the whole kit and kaboodle - don't even bother or you'll lose your investment 💪👍😎
Goodness that looks amazing
I love this show. Frank is the perfect host.
This dude is the Jason Statham of the pizza world
But he looks like a Detroit subway car..
Lol
I live not far from Old Forge, PA! Who knew?!?!?! I can't wait to go to try some pizza! I think Frank is just GREAT as a host!
Remember to take home an extra sheet with you that's what most people do because it tastes better than next day cold. Most people eat a cold the next day
Awesome as always
nobody mentioned onions, onions in the sauce are a staple of old forge pizza.
Frank thank you, for this show.
I'm from this area. The town over. Pizza everywhere, but man oh man, do I hate square pizza. Scranton, the city over, has Papa's pizza. Best pizza if you're in the area.
This series is so underrated. It's great
Great episode 🤙🏼 would be cool to visit Old Forge someday
Nick G. Come visit ..& get some great pizza
Nick G. We love it here
I love the Pizza Show 🍕 🤙🤙🤙
I have family in Old Forge. I think it's absolutely awesome that you visited!
here from carbondale, pa and its good to see some recognition for our pizza
didnt know vin diesel was in the pizza game
For 20 years strong... since I was 19
Good lookin' pizza, brother. Doing it right.
Lolligaggerton , thank you my man, I appreciate it.
ALL !N vin diesel the homie tho
*"I live my life one slice at the time"*
I love frank, he’s so cute!😍
nah you are :P
Will Robinson ooh get em
Christina Edwards
First time I saw show !!!
Love it. And local landmarks !!!
The thing I love about this series is the communal aspect of the food. These restaurants look out for one
Another while competing with one another
Frank is such a cutie 🤗
I'm cuter baby :-*
chinchilla in the villa ooh yeah, you are
I'm always hungry for pizza..but thirsty for Frank..he is fi0nnnne ♡
do they have high speed internet there though ? cause all you really need in life is pizza and high speed internet.
Justin Yep, the internet service is good here even if you have a trashy isp
When we go home for the holidays we bring back about two pies from every old Forge style pizza place in town. And we eat it for the next couple weeks. We freeze it as well. hands down my favorite pizza of all time. It's always better cold and a day later.
The heartland... good for them.. making something their own, but not straying too far from what makes pizza, pizza.
This pizza style goes back to my grandparents, over 115 yrs old
what a cool fucking town. Pizza looks tasty too.
Every time I watch this I crave pizza dammit
The best show on youtube... you Pinello, are a genius!!!
Learning who to make pizza by family that have been doing it ,for years,to see the love heart understanding who two make a pizza.
That's really yummy.
Old Forge pizza is the best!
I think there are much better places than Revello's... I think Ghiaghiarelli's is better than Revello's.
I hope to meet Frankie one day an talk pizza!! Love these episodes
O gee
my fav show
Gotta watch folks
Lucky you to have all this pizza. I'm going to try to make it to saturday
I'd definitely throw Colarussos into the mix too.
what is Colarussos?
victor sels Colarussos is another very famous spot and probably my favorite out of all Old Forge Pizza.
my mom lived in old forge most of her life
It’s funny because I just commented on the video where it’s almost a day in the life of Frank and you end it eating dinner with your family and I said how crazy similar our lives are with my father coming off the boat from Italy in 1969 in opening his first pizza place three years later and me being born and raised in the business in owning a few pizza places then I see this video on Oldforge which I am literally from about 45 minutes east of. This is the style I’m familiar with LOL
