- In this episode of Munchies, we follow delivery man Bill Meier and Best Pizza's owner, Frank Pinello, as they eat some of Brooklyn's, well, best pizza. Frank also gives us a little history lesson in Brooklyn pizzerias and explains how back in the day, using top-shelf ingredients was the norm, but over the years, frugal-minded pizzaiolos started skimping on the good stuff. Frank does things the old way, and that's why his slices are the shit.

Damn Bill passed away? RIP...dude was chill as fuck, and even as just a pizza delivery guy, he seemed like a very honest and hard worker who genuinely cared about his job and those he worked for, which I always respect. Rest easy Bill.
best comment
what he said. great comment.
IntroSpecktive intro what the
and such a warm smile
Making heartfelt comments before you were even known for smash
The birth of a legend...Frank Pinello.
I've watched most of his Pizza Show episodes and yet here I am, watching him as an episode himself lol
What about mark
Recently converted, to more authentic pizza and no more franchise stuff. O m g and the stuff this Frank Pinello guy be showing with the pizzas, man. Bay Ridge roots here
For anyone that hastn’t noticed, Frank was wearing a T-Shirt of Giaccomo, which was the pizzeria that inspired him to open his own. Great detail
I noticed that. I have watched too much Pizza show of late
Yes a very humble guy
How sweet
I watched his show so many times - I noticed it immediately. Knowing that - just adds a lot to his character to be honest
I love that Frank's nonna is so happy to be able to feed Bill that she's almost in tears. Even though they both may have left us, I'm certain wherever they are today, there's plenty of food and lots of love.
The first time I had Best Pizza, I walked in thinking "these guys are pretty bold calling themselves, 'Best'". I walked out saying "These guys are the best." It's that good.
TheStallion234 how much is a slice?
undertoes I never got individual slices, usually just ordered entire pies. Not too expensive though. Worth every penny.
+TheStallion234 This is great
Thumbs up if you have ever fantasized about having a big Italian family who's always there for you, supports you, fucks up anyone who messes with you and expects just as much from you in return.

R.I.P Bill. Seems like an awesome guy.

Devin Clawson we don't need your negativity here mate
Devin Clawson I think andrew is refering to where you said "too bad heaven isn't real". I personally don't believe in heaven but I get what andrew is saying. Not really necessary to say. Also yeah sorry the article doesn't mention why he died. Probably a heart attack or something. Maybe his family didn't it to be stated.
*****
this is true
Rene FIgueroa Come on people the guy was obviously a junkie...
This is the best Munchies episode. No pretentious hipster douchebags trying to show off; just a couple of friends enjoying some good bites.
shutup dork
You went into so much detail yet proved nothing. Do you also wear a tinfoil hat? Your whole argument is literally the most vague thing I've ever read.
@@pleaseguy1806 You read the mood wrong at every single point. Not only that but you chose to take the worst possible interpretation at every single point. What exactly is wrong with you?
@@pleaseguy1806 when a troll puts effort
@Varsha Kesavan you can say what you like. I'm not wrong though. Regardless of how much time you think it took me. Btw it didn't take me anytime at all. I'm able to remember what I saw and quickly go back for the time stamp. Im an empath so some things I just know.
That Bill dude seems like such a homie.

Did he die or what?

;( rip man, i will miss yer happy smile
+IvorineDJ Why the fuck would anyone want to deliver pizzas in heaven
Nayve Samra
Manners, and stfu this is a mourning conversation :(
+Nayve Samra you'd think he'd say "fuck this shit! I'll have pizza delivered as long as I'm here!"
I LOOOOOOOOOOVE when people are kind even about their competitors. He wasn't afraid to praise other pizzerias, and that's really refreshing. Also I'm hungry.
It was so heartfelt to see Frank invite his pizza delivery guy for a hangout on the show. Its things like these that show what a great human being you are. God bless him and RIP Bill.
I mena, they’re friends, why wouldn’t he invite him?
that Bill dude looks like a secret character in a Tony Hawk game
Hahahaha, RIP
AJ
Has bill died 🤔
@@razwanakram4446 Yeah he died
Bill looks like a rad dude.
+Crosby4hyg You spelled homeless man wrong
Bradley Savage What the fuck just came out of your mouth? Being homeless doent mean you are a bad fucking person, I meant he fucking looks like a homeless guy, lol get out of here man. Who the fuck says defo?
So fucking mad ahah, please learn to phrase your sentences appropriately, because you came across as giving out an insult. And defo is just a easier way of saying definitely, don't be as ignorant to judge someone by the way they type buddy.
Alright lets just agree it was a miscommunication, and we both over reacted and we can go our separate ways
Sweet buddy.
I come back to this episode from time to time, because there’s something so therapeutic about it. So pure. Franks vibe is everything. And I’ll come try the pizza one day (live in England)
yeah, me too
Probably my favourite episode of munchies. No irritating pretentious chief, annoying friends. Just a couple of really cool dudes, pizza and a nice Italian-American family.
"Bill is the delivery guy here" ---Shows Bill taking a swig of beer..hahaha
Bill sounds like such a people person. A real down to earth dude. Wish I got to meet him in person before he passed. *Rest easy Bill* ✌🏻
A table full of food
full of friends
full of family
This is Italy,
this is New York,
this is life
Beautiful video, RIP Bill.
+gray scale Sorry, but why do "Italian Americans" (not actual Italians in Italy) seem to want to make out that they are the only people in the world who sit down with there family to eat food, I can assure you, the world over, families get together, large amounts of food are served and they eat. Sorry to say, you guys dont have a monopoly on it.
It's not true, in the south of Italy ( Calabria, Sicilia, Puglia, Campania etc...) it's a tradition: the family sit down everyday and eat together. It's not just a symbol or something. In the holydays or in the weekends, the WHOLE famaly eat together.
It's not only a tradition, it's a style of life, the daily life.
Food
Friends
Family
Football (or whatever your favorite sport is)
Video games
That to me, is all I want in life.
@@pleaseguy1806 I can't speak for Italy, but in Spain (similar culture to Italy) the tradition of sitting down and eating a crap ton of food together and having a good time is very, very deeply rooted. It's not the same in the US. Yeah we have Thanksgiving and stuff... but something about it is just... different. At least in my family it's like, "well we have to do this, let's make it as painless as possible", lol. In Spain these occasions are truly savored, and in Italy clearly the same. They love getting together with their family and being loud and boisterous. And epic food is what really drives the whole thing home.
Yeah everybody loves food but maybe it's the idea of so much bonding and good times around that tradition. IDK. It's similar, no doubt, but it just seems to be extra special in these parts (southern Europe).
As for why Italians don't brag about it: it's because they don't have anything to compare to it. For them it's just the way things are. But they most certainly enjoy it to the fullest. That's my impression at least. Italian-Americans have a very clear point of comparison which is the traditional American culture they are surrounded by.
Bill looks chill Af to smoke with lol
To bad he died :/
+Aura slasher RIP BILL
+PROFESSIONAL HATER How?
+BiH Robotics You can read more about it here: www.reddit.com/r/bicycling/comments/2unehl/a_well_known_courier_in_ny_has_passed_away_rip/
+PROFESSIONAL HATER I knew where he was going when he said "Im on a TV show called munchies" Im sure giggles ensued
Watching this today brings so many emotions. Frank has grown so much as a pizza maker, as a TV presenter and as a person. My man had two pizzerias now. And the best part is, he has paid homage to his friend and delivery man bill at Best pizza.
Cheers to Frank. Cheers to pizza.
beer + pizza after you did something productive that day is one of the best feelings ever
Dr. Phil's creampie lounge na I don’t know what ur saying. That is vile you would do that to the mother of yo child
Dr. Phil's creampie lounge I love busting nuts in sluts butts
Yes my dude! Watch a movie with the lady, eat pizza and a beer or two. It's the small things..
Ride in peace bill
Rest in Pizza.
I was just re-watching old episodes of Munchies and just found out Bill has sadly passed away.
RIP Bill Meier. God Bless
good food makes life better, even if you're poor
freezinfeet too bad good food can cost money
Bone Alias yea XD, but nowadays its pretty cheap in general, and traditional food is good, and cheap for a reason
Bone Alias it's called making your own food from scratch.
TickleMeElmo55
It is indeed. And high quality ingredients are expensive.
Bone Alias high quality ingredients arent that expensive if you look in the right places- local markets, traditional shops etc. etc.
Poor Bill seemed such a cool guy, at least he ate like a king.
09:27 made me so happy. I showed it to my dad and it just reminded us so much of his mother (my grandma.) It’s just such a classic example of a grandma’s love that is the same throughout every culture ❤️
Its 1 in the morning and i have no food at home, why am I watching this?
I guess I'm not alone lol.
*****
you reminded me i hadn't smoked today
just went and did a few bowls
thanks bruh
me too =[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[
***** for real tho munchies is the shit when you're high and you wanna watch the food network but you can't cause you fuckin hate the food network
hahaha same here....it's midnight and i have one nectarine left >
His grandmother is so adorable... am I right?
My grandmother is more adorable than his grandmother.
olskoolnewpaint my grandma is more adorable!!
No my grandma is more adorable!
No mines is adorable!!!!

8:15 bill a legend with a beer up the back pocket and on the leg pocket like he defending a two pair. hahaha...
One in the hoodie pocket too hahahah
I think this is about the 10th time I've watched this, by far one of the best videos on TH-cam!
BRO real talk. I've seen this a few times also. Haha. Action Bronson's and that Canadian dudes episodes are good too.
Bill the homeless guy who is never hungry.. LOL
For those who have been blessed with a grandma know that grandma's will cook like it's Thanksgiving especially on Sundays. They will never sit until everyone is eating and has their dish piled. Even then, they will ask if you want more. I'm still blessed to have my grandma to enjoy our Sunday dinners. It's a Latina household with everyone talking over each other with great food while creating memories. Salud to all the nonna's, abuelitas, etc
I love bill for living his life to the fullest.
i wanna be invited to that family dinner
Louie M my dads side of the family is sicilian and dinners on holidays/other celebrations are truly special. ive always been thankful for them
Facts heard Italians damn near have dinner like that everyday
RIP BILL. The world would be a better place if more people had that much heart.
BEST Pizza is a gem. No surprise when you figure out who is behind them. // Bill looks like he has seen some shit.
I wish this guy nothing but success. He's figured out the meaning of life.
Love this, I bet Frank watches this and remembers his early days, remembers bill, and his Grandma.
6:56 - "Please no photos or videos in store" sign on the left

Or they get permission before hand. Just saying.
I love his German military jacket
The camo is called flekatarn you can find them in military shops
I know that M8, been collecting military equipments for 2 years already!
+Nahid H *Flecktarn
Fleck means spot and tarn means camouflage
German Military?Biggest Joke outta there!
+Christopher Darell I know right
Damn. All I can afford is the 5 dollar Hot-N-Ready by Little Caesars. Tastes like cardboard...so I get teary eyed on each bite I take...
lol
nyc pizza like that is like heaven to us
+Hugo Perea little caesars is delicious
MDiPietro16 That's me every time I take a bite..
The deep dish there is surprisingly good. Try hungry howies if you have them where you live, they might only be in Arizona though. luckily I moved back to Chicago.
leave the gun take the cannoli
I cry when I watch this
#RIPBill
julio matos I believe a sickness
A drug sickness?
BennyPaddyCake he died
Apparently he had complications with his ulcer that led to internal bleeding or something along the lines of that. We'll miss you Bill, you were a cool dude.
faithopeace it sucks that the good people in this world have to pass
Away and the bad people live long lives
I come back to this video like once every few months and it brings me so much joy.
Haha, daaaamn! I want to meet and drink a beer with that Bill guy, he seems like a really nice guy!
Bill reminded me of cool old timers. Most guys I talked to at an Elder's Home (used to work there), was so fucking cool.
no lie i live out at the tip of Long Island and i drove all the way there to try his pizza after watching this. superb
Lucas Brown probs what I would've done 😂
Bill: If Philip J. Fry never got frozen.
Just found out Bill passed away in 2015... Made me sad.. ride in peace bro

I now realize the significance of Frank wearing the Giacomo's shirt. I believe it was deliberate because he wants to give a shout out to his mentors. Giacomo's was the first pizza place that he worked at and where he learned the trade. I like to think he is saying thank you in a subtle way to Giacomo.
Frank is truly a stand up guy and that's why he is one of my favorite Munchies host.
Magnus McCloud I think so too. Good catch.
Man, I'm 34 this year, and deep down I still get jealous of people with families like that. What a beautiful household. Kinda sucks having no one when you need them sometimes. You're a blessed man Frank. Really made me smile during the dinner table.
I loved the way he interacted with his family...great shots and stories....the real food ...you don't need alot of money you need love and family and that great pizza!!!!
The delivery guy reminds me of Trevor from gta5 lol
Lol he does
i was about to say the same thing!
Jefferson Steelflex Same lol
Bill looks like a free soul, man.
May this badass example of a human being rest in pepperoni.
"I'm bein' on a tv show right now. I think it's called munchies." Lol so funny! xD
Nothing beats a nice pepperoni pizza. I usually buy the biggest one, then I can just microwave the other half later on.
Never microwave pizza!
smh, so basik.
I got grill function on my microwave, the pizza comes out hot and crispy, not sloopy.
Pro Tip: Toss your cold slice into a dry pan and heat on medium. Thank me later.
Invest in a toaster oven, I threw my microwave out 4 or 5 years ago. I don't miss it.
THE LAST FAMILY PART IS AWESOME...THIS IS THE REAL HAPPINESS FOR WHAT A MAN KEEP LOOKING FOR IN HIS/HER WHOLE LIFE...👍🏻
I´m Italian and I needed the subtitles too to understand what the grandma said at the very beginning of the video
western sicilian dialect
Now he’s the host of the pizza show. Such an amazing guy
2021 , took me ages to find this video . Worth it . R.I.P BILL .
I'm on a food watching streak and i have no money, why am i doing this to myself.
Rum0r I feel your pain brother
keep the dream alive always
Im on a diet. Its fine
F
This guy could become the host of a bunch of Munchies Pizza shows.
Yeah, imagine him hosting a show, could even go by a simple name like The Pizza Show
Bill is an example of a hard working honest and loyal worker rest easy... I’m sure you’re biking in heaven big guy
I swear Frank's grandma is amazing
Second time watching this... both with a frozen pizza. It's sad but somehow the pizza always tastes better when I watch this.
The fact that this pizzeria owner put other pizza spots on game is fucking lit
What a wonderful family living a wonderful lifestyle :)
Frank Pinello likes telling people to sit down.
i really respect how loving and welcoming frank and his family were, it really shows how hospitable they were all raised to be. i'm glad frank let bill and us experience the love. rest easy, bill. i hope you live well, frank.
Bill reminds me of Trevor Phillips
dude that bill guy Is hecca awesome at first appearance!!!
This made me cry because I had a grandma that cooked literally the best food in the world and you could smell the food from out side her house not only would she cook food that's was enough to feed 4 people at the the time but she would give us take away sweets and food that would last all four of my family a day and half and she was so kind as well sadly she past away earlier this year god bless her soul only if I could eat one more meal cooked by her I could live peacefully for the rest of my life
So sad Bill passed away..........💜
What!?!? say it aint so!
Rip Bill
I've been to New York twice, once over 35 years ago, and then nearly 30 years ago - and both times I experienced the best pizza in the world.....
Watching this video makes me want to visit New York with my 12 year old son, JUST so he can taste what *real* good pizza tastes like.
A beautiful film - thank you :)
Family & family values above all else. Keeping your culture & language alive. Also being part of & contributing to the wider society. That's great.
Very cool video!
The Best Munchies Video Ever
Rewatched for Bill, may he deliver all the Best pizza's in the pizzeria in the sky. Guy seemed like a real legend
this episode was beautiful!
Rest in Pizza, Bill.
I watched a lot of recent Pizza Shows before stumbling on this one, in the episode that’s all about Frank he talks about the delivery man, I didn’t think much of it until seeing this video: the bond they had together, true friendship, the bond his family had with him is all shown and now I understand the passing of Bill means a bit more and I can truly say, Rest Easy Bill.
RIP Bill :(
Jesus christ gang I found you again! WOO woo woo
+Flim Limgy "gang" lmao
+Flim Limgy woooo woooo WOOOO!
Best Munchies and best food culture ever; forget all the fancy restaurants and fusion crap; this is as real and cultured food can get; I wanna eat at his place - viva Santa fortunata!!!!!!!'
Its nice to see this new generation coming in, brining back the ideals, values, and traditions from the old country
Holy shit how can anyone give this a thumbs down? What a great family and the pies look amazing. How the fuck is that family not 400lbs each?? Awesome!
the one and only reason I would want to live in New York
I just loved when Mr.Angelo Gnerre said "...i may use a little bit of this. a little bit of that..." especially with his light accent.
Fuck I'm hungry
i'm fasting why am i watching this godd!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Muslim fuck
videofreakmanic123 The people that cut off people's head aren't real muslims. i agree with you they are assholes. But not all muslims are like them.
videofreakmanic123 uh...you know fasting is universal, right? I'm pretty sure all major religions have a form of fasting...you dont have to be religious either. it doesn't even have to be about food, you can fast from practically anything. Just putting my two cents in there, do what you will with that information.
videofreakmanic123 just stop
Alright, I take it back, but those guys are clearly Muslims...
And the rest of you, this ain't your conversation, so butt out
My family's from Brooklyn and and I moved to LongIsland as a baby in the 80s. Your channel tempts me to open a GOOD pizza place in the suburbs of Massachusetts. Do to work I've been stuck here 7yrs. I miss my pizza, bagels,diners and delis.
one time when i bought pizza at the JV pizza store, i forgot to pay my cash. after i realized i forgot to pay, i was scared to go back to pay since i thought i would be arrested. now i go to da vinci, i miss jv pizza :'(
you do realize nothing's going to happen....right? I think they would even appreciate it.
They should have a vice for the guy who forgot to pay for his pizza.
Clayton D I second that
I must wed into an Italian family.
Frank and his family are such awesome gentle souls!
mama mia pizzzaria holuy canoli''"Boopa-dee Bappa-dee"
there's no good pizza place near me :,( ugh I need to stop rewatching this series
make it! it's so easy and good :)
geniuswondergirl I've tried twice and 1st time some parts were soggy and the 2nd time...some parts were soggy. I gave up haha I can't get everything evenly delicious so whenever I downtown which is 2hrs away I get a good slice
Easily the best Munchies episode ever. Just real people who are passionate about their city, food and culture; and putting out some amazing products.
my one goal in life is it to eat pizza in napoli and new york
peshmerge44 agree napoiil.I'm from new York and our pizza is sooo good.
