- This episode is not about pizza. It's about Apizza. There's a difference.
Welcome to New Haven, a city that has some of the best pizza around. Frank Pinello, our host, has never been to New Haven and the best way to learn about the city is by eating. Frank hangs out with Gary Bimonte, co-owner of legendary pizzeria Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, spends time with the owners of Zuppardi's, and meets some true new haven legends. This is a special town with incredible people and pizza to match.

This guy, Frank Pinello, is a great host. Well informed but remains a student as well as very respectful of everyone he comes across. Really enjoying these "Pizza Shows"!
If he'd just cut calling it "pie"...
@@markwillykellermann5519 whys that a problem exactly? honestly no disrespect im just curious?
Reminds me of Anthony Bourdain
Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah, I was skeptical during first episode but now love the guy, very down to earth and respectful :D
this guy is just so nice, but in a subtle way- just feel like a respect this guy. one of the better presenters
Palabra!
It's the Italian.
+ArabMusic23 it means word in spanish.
+ArabMusic23 nah dude it's spanish. I live in Rome and i never heard any italians here in Rome use the word palabra.
+ArabMusic23 ah sorry for calling you dude, my bad. It means "word" in spanish.
Sadly, Gary Bimonte passed away today. May he rest in peace.
"It is with deep and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our brother, Gary Bimonte. Gary was a wonderful brother, son, uncle, and friend to so many, and he was loved by all of us.
Gary was the pride and joy of the Pepe’s family, and there are no words to express the immense void that his passing has left in our hearts. He truly loved and cherished our family’s history, and he was so proud of the legacy that has carried through all these years.
Gary was incredibly grateful for all of the happiness that our family brought to so many people through our love of pizza, and he really embodied the heritage and tradition that Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana is known for today.
He will be terribly missed by so many people.
The family is requesting privacy during this time of grieving."
-Frank Pepe's Website
shit this is sad.
noooooooo
Rest in pizza 🙏🏻
big loss, RIP
What a shame and what a loss for his family and the community.
This show is 10/10. Connects with the younger crowd, and the older crowd. The host ACTUALLY loves what he does. You can tell in his voice, and his eyes. This is a great series. Hope they can continue it somehoa
A few years ago I was passing through New Haven on my Harley. It was fathers day. I had just left my fathers side of the family in Oklahoma a few days before. I was missing him because he had passed many years ago. I ordered my pizza. It was a 90 minute wait. I went for a ride and returned. There was no room in the restaurant. I got my pizza and a good pop and went outside. As I sat on Wooster St on Fathers Day a homeless guy came by and asked for some money. I said no. But, I will share my pizza with you. I sat and talked to Willie as I ate the best pizza we have ever had. It was as my fathers was there. Thank you Franks and Willie for a great memory.
My deepest condolences.
R.I.P.
Ruel Rhoden good man
That is an incredible memory. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Who the fuck cars
Billy's doughnut joke was pretty funny
is it just me or does he look like Robin Williams? Haha
Jesse D he does 😂😂
Can anyone explain the joke?
+Zikry Zaki It's a dirty joke. Think about it.
Gave me a good laugh.
This show getting cancelled is a tragedy. Best thing munchies had going for it.
And the fact that this show specifically, and these videos still regularly get views almost 7 years later, proves that. Munchies hasn’t been the same this show got canned.
Real facts dude.
bring it back!
So true
can someone explain why this was cancelled? not understanding =(
Sadly, Helen, featured in this video, passed away this week- but she had a rich, long life at 101 years old! RIP
I went to college in New Haven and had my 21st birthday at Pepes.The pizza came out with 21 candles on it and everyone sang happy birthday to me.Great pizza and a great memory.
mark smith I’ve been to Pepes, it’s amazing
I don’t remember my 21rst b day 😉
@@daryldixon3685 After the pizza and lots of beer that night.I dont remember much either.One of my buddies was the actor Michael Jai White.He was there.He lived across the hall from me in our dorm.
Yale?
@@mirorizzo3872 No.I went to Southern Connecticut State University.
The positive environment both in the video and comment section is remarkably refreshing.
Guess why. Hint: read the name of the channel.
BRING BACK THE SHOW and GIVE FRANK A LIFETIME DEAL. WE WILL PAY FOR HIS SALARY. literally the best food storytelling on the internet
Honestly, he should make his own show. No reason for Munchies to get most of the dough
@@fardrives Nice one
RIP Gary 😞 That guy made a lot of pizza. Lots of love to his family!
NooooooooooOOO, he passed? :( That's truly so sad.
I knew Gary personally, so sad that he passed.
I feel like the host really respects the art of making pizza. Great host.
He makes pizza, he knows the experience.
He owns a restaurant called best pizza in nyc
@@CC-yo1ou and another one called something Rosa
J.... what?
Sanjeev Kapoor is still the best😤
this guy
is a good host
that's because he doesn't primp himself...it's all about the story.
Gary did a great job running the many Pepe’s pizza locations. They own the Connecticut pizza scene (no small feat!). I thank him for the great memories with my family and friends eating at his restaurants, and my condolences to his family.
RIP Gary Bimonte, he was truly a master of the craft and he was a very lovely person
this is such a good show it doesn't feel forced and people are happy to talk about themselves no tension.
Exactly this. Was searching for a show like this
Theyre actually all forced to speak about their unique apizza and history
@Aidan Gallagher i was being sarcastic
@Aidan Gallagher Dang. You got me bro. Im gonna send you $3,000
Frank Pinello is the best, what an awesome and decent guy he is.
amazing how much culture there is here, would travel here just to try the pizza
this show was the best thing on youtube, so sad it got cancelled... Also very interesting when Frank is eating at 2:09 and he has Loui's Lunch at the other side of the street, the place where hamburgers where created! So much culinary history in that town.
Nice trivia!
Franky should run this freaking channel. Great host.
Thin crust, some bubbles on the cheese, some darkness on the sides. Perfect.
Sounds like an aged vagina ....
Caesar Fiorini LMAOO
Caesar Fiorini FUCKING HAHAHAHA
Caesar Fiorini bubbles and ceaser sounds ya know JOJOISH
RIP Gary Bimonte, Apizza Legend
I revisit this video from time to time. Frank, I'm a pizza guy, and a fairly decent pizza maker. I'm fourth generation Ellis Island New York born and raised. At 21, I ended up in Connecticut, and met my wife, a lovely Italian mutt like me. I'm now 41, and I had real difficulty making the adjustment and accepting the culture here. However, I found their Italian American culture so intriguing, and their pizza so unique that I was able to build a life here. It's pretty incredible to be able to appreciate both Pizza cultures with the same respect and admiration. As Ny'ers we were told that everything we did was better and to see the humbleness, humility, passion and respect you give the love for food inspires me; you are the true Italian spirit I remember from my childhood. So, thank you Frank
Frank's accent is straight outta the set of some NY mafia film
he has a pretty typical long island accent
newyork4311 pretty sure he's from Brooklyn, no?
i'm pretty sure he's said before that he was born in brooklyn but grew up in long island.
Forget about it
Really? I’ve always thought it was kind of faint compared to some NY Italians I’ve heard.
Im happy that my dude Frank got his own show
I’m from Chicago (southside thin crust fan) but now live in Jersey but love the east pizza and need to get my ass to CT and try this. Huge fan of frank and vice for what they are doing. Cant say enough about Frank as a host. Truly good dude for sure.
Rest In Peace Gary Bimonte, !!! Pepes is the best pizza in America because of your dedication
Frank Pinello is my new favorite Vice personality. It started with a chef's night out, which I loved. Now it's grown to this super rad show. Dude it super chill and it's just a real humble guy that's deep into his craft. Frank's way of talking to the camera is almost as if he's talking to a homie or something.
They should place a warning in these videos: "Warning: don't watch when you're hungry!!!". Also love the guy presenting this he does it perfect!!
Back in 1971 my family and I , immigrants from Poland, lived above Christopher Martins at that time it was a liquor store. The very first pizza I ever had was Modern. Fifty years later I still live in the New Haven area and have eaten in all manner of pizza places in the vicinity. For what my opinion is worth..... Modern, hands down.
I’m German but I used to live in Connecticut; can’t wait to head back one day, visit my hometown and head up to New Haven for a pizza tour! Thanks guys for doing a episode and making me feel a bit homesick 🔆
Why do I always watch this stoned, when my wallet has flies flying out of it
sameeee
+Rishabh Gupta fuckin same
Fucking hell.. I must be stupid to tease myself like this
because, virtually munchies are the second best thing to real munchies.
Sammmmee
I actually visited Frank Pepes and had the white clam pizza which shocked me, because I'm not a fan of clam but it was delicious
Jeremy Xu Sounds dank
What does it taste like
+colinmcom14 crispy crust, with nice fresh clam on top, with cheese on top. So nice and salty and slightly cheesy with a crispy crust
+colinmcom14 sorry if my explanation isn't terribly good xD I'm not good with food explanations xD
Jeremy Xu So more of a salty flavor than anything?
This is why I love people. They take something as simple as pizza so seriously, it's art and tradition all in one. They perfect it with such finesse and a ridiculous amount of attention to detail.
Ahhhh, I need to go to New Haven.
You haven't had pizza until you've had it in New Haven. (There are also two great art museums, cafes, and Yale music, two symphony orchestras...)
❤️
I started watching this and went to lil Caesar’s and was pretending I was eating one of these pizzas 😂😂😩
This has to be the funniest, realest comment ive ever read lol
GlamwithT bro lil Caesars is so bad I feel so bad for you
@Aidan Gallagher Not In Nashville its not lol
@@cautiouscody7852 I guess it's just a Nashville problem then.
SHIZAAAAAAAA
When he was sitting eating his first apizza (at Bar) and there's Louis' Lunch in the background across the street, the birthplace of the Hamburger.
New Haven should be on anyone's travel list for eating experiences.
Sascha Rai it never is though bc we are big and flashy like las vegas or California
Wasn't the hamburger conceived in NYC? After the germans had brought their "hamburger steak" alongside them
New Haven pizza is fucking trash
@@MrYouarethecancer more like mr dumb guy with the dumb opinions.
Westy hamburger steak is ground beer loaf with gravy not a hamburger
This guy is a geniuinely kind human being. That sort of kindness is rare these days.
Literally brings tears to my eyes. I live in California now but will be eating New Haven Apizza while I'm home on vacation. Cant wait to wash it down with an ice cold Birch Beer. New Haven County has some of the best food in the world. Connecticut born and raised.... and damn proud of it! Not a day goes by that someone dosent understand but this video and a couple of frozen pies from Zuppardis certainly helps! New Haven, I'll see you in a few weeks!
No one cares
I miss ct. Even smaller food things like Hot dogs with natural casings I miss. Why doesn't any other state do hot dogs like that?
@@Saltyoven can't beat Hummels! Guess we're just spoiled from the amount of quality foods in Connecticut. It's funny how much stuff I've noticed that manufactured their too!
How could anyone dislike this video? I'm from NY like Frank, lived in New Haven area for the last 20 years...I've got to tell you; I there is something very special about New Haven Apizza...
Thank you for having a show about Pizza. I fucking love Pizza.
I fucking love Pizza.... that would make a great song
I love this show. Frank is a great host and seems like a good dude. I got so hungry watching this I just got a pie delivered for lunch.
Lived in NY all my life. 1 or 2 years ago I actually had to pass through New Haven on a trip and I had watched this episode and Barstool Dave's pizza reviews in new haven. I didn't get to try Pepe's unfortunately but I did try Sally's and Modern. Sally's is still the best pizza I've ever experienced in my 36 years on this planet. Modern was very close but man Sally's was special. Their history is WELL earned and deserved.
RIP Gary Bimonte. Legend
such a great host. love his energy
The old dude was like Its 5 o clock time to head home no interview gonna keep me from getting home
Frank owns one of the best pizza parlors in ny and he's still so humble 💙
my home town and never ate there
What slice did you go for?
What’s the name
The more i watch this Pizza Show the more i like this guy ! Frank looks like the perfect social dude, so respectful of the elders & traditions :) Really nice show
"My father was a cawp" - Classic quote
that doughnut joke was actually pretty funny
+Vincent Hu good delivery
This is by far one of my favorite episodes of The Pizza Show.
Got rejected by Yale today, watching this video while I cry it off
Haha, I feel you bro.
Yale sucks
you have kids that can't even eat.
Sorry brother. I graduated with Mediocre GPA.
1.0 GPA.
The host reminds me of the best friend I ever had that passed away in 2008. Always sweet, always polite, happy go lucky.
I hope we see more of this host!
BrokenRRT So sorry to hear about your friend.
This host is really cool, I really like his enthusiasm and he comes across as someone who genuinely really loves the subject matter. Put him on more shows!
RIP Mr. Gary Bimonte you will be missed
He passed away!? Ugh 😒
Hes sitting in BAR apizza at 2:17 you can look out the window & see Louis's lunch they actually created the 1st hamburger in America. Its another food tourist attraction in new haven ct.
The first DOCUMENTED...
Yeah but they aren’t the best in terms of burgers. It seems all of newhavens love for food went into pizza and they left the burger game behind.
@@georgehoyle8797 the burgers are good, just different then what everyone is used to. The white bread (no bun) and no ketchup makes them unlike most burgers. But the meat though! Perfect mix of cuts go into it. Not just ground chuck. Like 20% sirloin. You can taste the difference.
@@steelmusic2 they're broiled... Sidways.
@@georgehoyle8797 I'm a fan of Louis. It's the most basic burger ever, hasn't changed in 130 years. You eat it for the burger flavor, it's a unique 3 meat blend. If you want a burger that's fancier, Prime 16 is a couple blocks away and amazing.
nice host, polite, isn't afraid to shut the fuck up and let his interviewees speak for themselves, GOOD LAD
It's masochism to watch this at 2am.
try it at 3:04am man. it's tough.
for me its anytime of the day bruh
checking in at 4:50am. i'm fucked.
its goin on 5:40 and im ready for breakfast LUL
plannin on watchin through the night tonight
Sad the show is gone, definitely the most entertaining youtube series I've ever watched. Love Frank and this episode.
Make more of these shows please, I've watched each episode so many times - they are excellent - great host with a contagious passion for pizza and pizza people!,
Glad to see that Frank is drinking a Foxon Park birch beer - a Connecticut specialty...
My grandmother grew up just off of Old Foxen road. When I visit Connecticut I always get some Foxon Park sodas.
White Birch and a Pie from New Haven, nothing better.
@@cable7152 yess
Was with a friend the other week in a shop that had all sorts of local mementos, and on one aisles end was a old Foxon Park vending machine, we joked about how it was truly a CT item of legend. Love that birch beer though
777 haters don't disrespect my home town that pizza is one of the best
Frank and Bronson are what makes this channel
+Shvabicu what about mattie?
I love this show!! Gives me such a good feeling and makes me want to visit all those places. keep up the good videos! with kind regards from Germany
Right across from where he’s sitting, at the first place is a joint called Louis lunch, they invented the hamburger.
The best series on Munchies.
+Kibbler It isn't
This is for sure my favorite show on this channel
New subscriber, host is one of the best ever. Polite, respectful, genuine and doesn't try to hard to be something else. Huge hats off to you!
I wish they made another season of the Pizza Show. Frank is the perfect host and I always come back and watch these episodes because they're so light and comfy.
Yes finally, been waiting for this. Such an Amazing show!
I love when he tells cheryl of all the people he’s made pizza with that was his favorite moment in making pizza and her face just lit up! That was so cute
Exactly what i was thinking. Her face lits up! Pure happiness.
My favorite moment in the entire series. You can tell how much that ment to hear knowing Frank's background. Also speaks volumes to the type of person Frank is.
Love it when Frank tried to put back the chairs from where they suppose to be, very respectful.
Great video. Watched several times. Great people and product!
Did anyone else catch the Louis Lunch in the background of the video when the guy is at the table talking at about 2:40. Arguably one of the most famous hamburger places. Birthplace of the hamburger.
The guy is sitting in BAR pizza in that segment. I went to Louis Lunch when I was a kid on a field trip and was vastly disappointed. A dry piece of meat between two pieces of dry bread. :(
The bacon mashed potato pizza is insane
Same I went on a field trip to Pepe's and Louis Lunch. My school was next to Wooster Square
LOUIS LUNCH IS VASTLY OVER RATED
Pizza is love. Pizza is life.
+chunky soup deep
+chunky soup You pizza-sexuals are ruining AMERICA!
Colin David Chen WERE MAKING AMERICA BETTER
It hurts but I do it for pizza
I love New Haven Apizza. I also love how at @2:13 you are across from the best burger I've ever had at Louis lunch. The original burger joint. So much great original food in a small area!
20:33 did she just say "Najlepszego!"? im proud of being polish now lmao
Meaning
@@dansmith935 "all the best" it's a drinking toast, another one is "na zdrowie" meaning "to good health"
Man, i just can’t stop watching these videos... They are soooo warm and real, and it makes me want to open my own pizzeria 😂 , i love Frank, i love all the owners , it’s just amazing to watch. Thank you !
Who's on a diet, watching this, and starving like hell? xD
F uck that diet i quit , im going to get a pizza !!!!
Not me. 32 waist and clammed to jeth.
Fucken keto. I torture myself with pizza videos. Haven’t had a carb in months but I’m looking. But this pizza looks even better
this is one of the most comforting videos I've ever watched. thank you
I just put New Haven on my bucket list!
just did the same!
You know this is The Pizza Show when Louis' Lunch in the background is completely and utterly ignored.
Watching this at 2 am. I regret everything.
i am so fucking hungry
+Alvin Cornelius 4 am here..
It's 4 am and I have class at 8:10. I regret nothing
Y'all be afraid to cook at 2 am but see me ima STEP
On the bucket for this year.
Apizza addiction is born
Great video! Thanks to Goldbelly, I have some Zuppardi's in my freezer right now. I've had a couple of them already. Really good. Someday, I'll get it fresh and in-person.
The clam pizza gets a lot of attention because it's a New Haven specialty, and it's done beautifully, no question. The garlic, the delicate balance of the flavors and textures, letting the quality of the no tomatoes and olive oil and the exquisite texture of the crust shine through - it's a knockout. But for me, the litmus test is the Margherita, and I think that Pepe's makes the best in the country, authentically Napolitano, but subtly tweaked with a rough hewn and natural but even distribution of ingredients, and most importantly, made with the anthracite coal fire: even flame, no smoke, just perfect. The crust is perfect: the right amount of chew and crisp. And call it sacrilegious, but I have it with bacon - it's perfectly unctuous and chewy and thin, and adds a bit of creamy, smoky, substantial protein - damn, it's just perfect. Even in the West Hartford location. Long live Pepe's! (P. S. I just had one last night - it's always perfect. What a glorious memory...)
Their manchester location is the closest one to me, but I want to go try the original location sometime.
Was waiting for someone to say this...This is so true. My best friend and I agree that pepes margherita is absolutely exceptional. One of the best pizzas ever.
@ctguitarguy Yes, but so is anything that is charred. Anything you cook that turns dark brown/black, even if its just a spec of the meal, is a carcinogen. But its a mostly wasted thought, because so many things are bad for you. You would think the tomato sauce on pizza is the healthiest part, but most pizza places used canned sauce, even the best pizza places used canned sauce from italy, and cans are lined with BPA or BPS or another BP product (they are all bad for you, just BPA is the famous one), and the tomatoes acidity breaks down the lining far quicker than most other canned goods, so the healthiest part of a pizza, is actually bad for you, but so is everything, you just have to have moderation and a mixed diet
beautifully written, I must try this pizza in my lifetime
@Sarcastic.1 I've had their pizza from New Haven, Waterbury, West Hartford and Manchester. It's all brilliant.
Dear Munchies,
PLEASE start the show 'The Pizza Bachelor' if this amazing pizza guy and host, Frank, is somehow single.
ecargxmik 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for giving New Haven the props we deserved man. Hope to meet you at one of these places when you come back!
Love watching this series and learning about these ppl
This is by far my favorite show from Munchies, and Vice for that matter. Wish more shows would come across as genuine like this show does. Such a good host
I am from New Haven, this brings back many memories.
Yep good pizza/lifestyle. I am in PA now
so am i and never ate there
Brilliant show. I remember catching this episode years ago on tv.
Frank does a great job with this show. I love it. Keep up the good work Frank.
Episode 3 coming out in 2017
Man those are some good looking pie's.
what a heart warmful series!! thanks!
This is my second or third time watching this series, probably better than anything on tv. I just wish there were more coming in the future!
Wow. This show is amazing. So warm, so family-like. Like watching my friends telling me a stories. Such a good job.
I've been to italy and the pizza is made the same way. Thin, light toppings, with that lovely crust
Wow your trip to italy really made you an expert 👏🏽
Its made that way everywhere but the US.
true but in italy there are a lot of different ways of making pizza as well ;)
Rhaegar Targaryen quit talking like you know something dummy
Joey Karate
Well i've lived in Italy for 5 years and spent many years travelling the world so i do know some things.
Great show. I can't stop watching!!
RIP Gary. You will always be missed. Great episode. Elm City 4 LIFE!!!!
