FAQ:
Who is this lady?
Gina Petitti was born in 1935 in Faeto, Italy. Her family ran a farm in Italy and she met her husband, Vito, in the same town. In 1970 Gina, Vito, and her 4 children immigrated to America. Gina’s husband passed away in 2012, but she is surrounded by a large family, which includes 9 grandchildren, and lives 5 minutes away from her eldest daughter in New Jersey. Gina spends her time cooking, gardening, and being an active member of her local Church.
Where does Gina get her recipes?
Most of these recipes are from what she learned growing up in Italy, but some of them have evolved over time. She has also learned new recipes from friends and family in America. She is always eager to try new things.
Why is no one helping her in the video?
Grandma Gina doesn’t want help! Usually, it’s because we will slow her down or not do it “her way.” For the videos we only show her, but when the camera cuts we jump in and help form the cookies or prep for the next step.
Why don’t we buy her a new...?
Grandma Gina has a closet and garage full of new gadgets, spoons, forks, pots, etc… but she doesn’t like them because she is used to doing it with her old tools. She has fun getting her hands dirty!
Who is behind the camera?
Her retired son-in-law films, her daughter helps her prep, and she usually has one or two grandkids in the kitchen.
Does Gina read the comments?
We print out and show her how much love she gets from all her viewers, and she is very thankful and hopes you enjoy her cooking! Your comments bring her lots of joy, laughter, and inspiration to make more videos to share with you.
Thank you for watching, we hope you subscribe, and we will see you in our next video! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I cannot believe that people actually gave this video a thumbs down and some left negative comments. Why can’t you just enjoy the fact that she is as sweet as apple 🍎 pie. I love her because she reminds me of my grandmother who is no longer with us. People should cherish grandmothers like Nonna Gina, because they are rare. Please be kind and respectful to her.
Well said. I watch her and it's like watching my late dear mother who put her heart and soul into her food. The only thing Italian mom wants is to make sure you eat good. We never went to restaurants because we always got better food at home thanks to women like this.
Some people just are that way! They just disagree for the sake of just disagreeing. Their choice. Be happy!
Some people are just assholes. They can't help it they are miserable and instead of doing something about it they spend their day trying to make other people miserable.
Love Gina, She's so Sweet... My Mom would have been here age today, & My Grandmother would have been 125 years old, if still living.💖🇮🇹💖 Have so Many Wonderful & Cherish Memories of Them & Gina brings it back to me in Her Own Special Way... All Good!! 🇮🇹💖😁 To All the downers... If you don't have anything Good to Say, don't Say anything at All... it's that Simple.
Who left negative comments? I'll get them with my cane😰
“Just wanna make a little bit” proceeds to make 4 large pizzas. I love Italian grandmothers 😂😂
I love them too. Can't get more authentic than that. Love to you grandma. Keep making those awesome pizzas.
Just 5 pounds a little bit
🤣🤣👍🏼
She's so precious!
Wow wow wow the pizza was so nice May the Good God grant you BLESSINGS and long life
I’m not Italian, I’m Indian and I’m not Catholic, but I LOVE that she blessed the dough… that’s what makes food from grandmothers taste so comforting, their love and prayers are in the food. ❤
Grandma, I’m a 73 yr. old great grandma and I have to say, you inspire me with your Italian cooking!! I’m not Italian but people think I am because I love everything Italian! I grew up with two Italian families, the Mariano’s and the Vasterelli’s. You remind me so much of them and I love your accent, your expressions with your hands and watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your recipes with all of us.
(My sauce is almost identical as yours except I add sugar and wine as this is the way my Italian families did it.) Love to you, Grandma!!❤
PS: You have a lovely voice!😊
she prayed that her yeast would rise the dough before she started mixing. Thats some real traditional stuff right there.
That prayer made me a subscriber. 😇
That or when she tucked her bread dough in bed. That’s mad love.
Yeah christians in syria do the same too at least I saw my grandma and my mom they always pray before mixing the dough
The “sign of the cross” works universally on many things. Nana would use her finger nail and place a cross on my mosquito bite bumps as a little boy. Some how it always worked!👍🏼🙏
😂😂😂that got me laughing dude
The sweetest thing about this whole video is at 33:30 when she finally takes a bite and you watch her face change from the grandma making the pizza into the little girl eating her grandma’s pizza years ago. *This* is why I watch TH-cam.
That made me tear up. 🥺 I so agree.
💝💝💝
No pepperoni?
Ahh I love this comment!
@@sarahmccormick3405 I'm 100%
I'm a 40 yr old black man from SC and and I just love this woman. I miss both my Gmas' so much
I just hope every kid born today will be tucked into a blanket with as much love as that dough received :)
I a so glad that older people are making content on TH-cam. Their legacy is shared with everyone.
It worries me that many recipes will vanish! Now thanks to families foresight and you tube we have all cultures older family members teaching us forever
I always heard that adding salt and yeast together kills the raising power of the yeast .
I love her..shes my go to
Facts shows how they are the first to make these delicious dishes and share it to there kids from generation after generation :)
@@mariabuzzeo7273 WRONG.
Did she just tuck in her dough for an hour long nap? Adorable.
That’s why we love her🌹🌹She’s beautiful
Yes she did with loads of love . Nonna Gina a sweet lady
Nice and cozy😂😂😂😂
Her DNA is in that pizza... Quantum entanglement
Of course! That's why my nonna had plastic slip covers on her couch!
😆❤️🧐🇮🇹🤨
Don’t know how I got to this video but wound up staying just to listen to grandma talk.
I cried watching her video, it's priceless! She is so down to earth and has tremendous common sense! May God Bless You and your family for making all these videos. They are ALL delicious! Thank you so so much ❤️
Sometimes I watch this just to spend time with Gina! God bless!!
The rare video that makes you think that maybe the internet wasn’t a huge mistake
lol
I just watched her for the first time today. Fabulous. I got a real kick out of her description of making a little pizza "only five pounds of flour instead of twenty five. I make home made pizza using four cups of flour." The laughs on me. So enjoyed her show.
This video made me homesick in a big way. In my mothers hometown, in Italy, my grandmother didn't have a stove so she would shape the loaves of homemade bread and bring them to the communal oven. I know it sounds outdated, but something about this makes my heart hurt and I feel we have lost something socially that I just can't put into words. My mother would bless the rising dough by doing the sign of the cross in the same way when she made "pizza bianca", white pizza, just garlic and rosemary on top. Now it's my turn to keep the tradition alive. Che Dio ti Benedica. Great video.
0:15 "Just a little bit," makes 4 gigantic pizzas....
They're not gigantic. They may look big because they're rectangle. But the dough is very thin.
Lol, so true.
The expression "jussa lil bit" holds a special place in my heart.
Kalamay plnlplg
Trust me, that IS considered little by Italians.
I love how she tucked in the dough with blankets to keep it warm 😊
My mother still does it to. I think this was a common thing in some countries they did with the dough so it could rise faster.
So adorable grandma cooking for her family ❤😊
She treats her pizza dough like a member of the family. Making sure it is comfy and warm for a little nap on the couch.
😂🤣😂
who ever recorded this woman did a great thing
classic old world cooking style
no ostentation
no fuss
excellent work
and these recipes are wonderful
Hello
So true I grew up around big Italian Greek and Polish families And from a big Irish family but we all love each other’s food
Dear Gina you remind me of my dear sweet mother. I miss her so much. Your accent, mannerisms, and gestures are priceless to me. Love you
She seems like such a loving and amazing grandmother, mother, wife and everything
I love the way she cooks and bakes. She reminds me of my grandmom and my grandpop from Italy. Keep cooking and baking , and I’ll keep watching. 🙋♀️♥️🙌👍
Oh my God ! A.true Italian Catholic ! Just like my grandma . I love seeing this . Like going back in time to when I was little .God bless you Nona 🙏
WHY DOES THIS HAVE NO ADS?
I watched the entire thing this woman is a national treasure and deserves income from this.
Thank you recommended.
Turn off your ad blocker then you will see the ads flowing in lol.
She probably just doesn't know or know how it works.👩💻
Im an adult and I wish someone would cover me the way she covered that dough. With all that love and care.
Shame on whomever did thumbs down. This a WOMAN gives her all. L8ve Her Heart and singing and Cooking!!❤
How could you not LOVE HER ♥️♥️♥️
I'm 100%
Can I say some thing
I love you
You melted my heart and felt I wana cry
Remind me my grandmama and my mum
Has no one of them now
Live alone far away
Watching this now put big smile on my face
You are such so genuine so kind heart
Love from the little Egyptian pharoe
Who love all about italiA
Egyptian live in 🇬🇧🌹❤️
When everybody is shoving pizza in their mouth and not thinking twice about it, stop and think about all the work and love the cook went through to make it just for you. Tell them how much you love and appreciate them ❤️
This video is a gem. Gina's personality is so lovely. Her homemade canned tomatoes, along with all the other ingredients, shows that pizza is a phenomenal creation that can be taken in any direction you want. Too bad this video does not have smell-o-vision. God Bless you Gina.
I LOVE her .A good person full off energy snd love
I love learning how to make pizza, thank you, you're a beautiful lady, I can stop buying pizza out now, your teaching so many people now to cook , God bless you ,and your family ❤
New subscriber! I came for the pizza but stayed for Grandma!
Isn't she sweet though? She reminds me of my brother's
mother-in-law... and what a cook she was.... MANGIA ... God Rest Her Soul
@@jeastwood2737 She's amazing! She immediately reminded me of my own Grandma... the glue that holds any family together.
Me too!
Who else was jealous of that dough for being tucked with such care and attention? Watching it for a moment there I was 4 years old again. Remembering my own dear grandma.
Bless grandmas everywhere.
I have watched 10 pizza recipes!! This one is the BEST! Enjoyed her process and her antidotes and especially her enthusiam. LOVE IT!❤❤❤❤❤❤
When I was a kid you ate what grandma made, and that was that. You didn’t like it? Too bad.
This kind grandma actually chefs up for each family members tastes and wants. What a sweetheart.
Me and Old School Friends were talking about this new Generation of entitlement the other day. I'm Born and Raised Brooklyn Italian. Same here miss my Grandparents you ate it there was no Yuck I want what I want. You ate what they cooked and it was HOMEMADE Genuine. Everyone buying into Organic, Plant Based lmao stop ✋️ Grandparents lived until there early 90's strong like bulls. Glad someone agrees 👍 love the comment 🤝
@@techny1549 Right on. I am glad you had that experience also. I miss those days.
I love it that she calls 4 big trays of pizza "a little!"
I want me an Italian grandma plz. God bless you!
Grandma Gina always makes me smile from ear to ear. Such a bright and cheery woman. I love her.
Yes!! I felt like a child when she did that!!
Me, too!👵💓
the way she spreads that dough and makes that thin crust, just magic
Is this pizza what many pizzerias call "Grandma's Pizza"? There was a wonderful restaurant owned by 2 Italian brothers from Long Island who had the best pizza I have ever eaten--and it was called "Grandma's Pizza". It was made in the same rectangular shape, and did not have meat or vegetables--just tomatos and cheese with some spices and garlic. This looks wonderful! Thank you!
She cooks with love and in the authentic Italian tradition. My grandmother cooked the same way. Gina is a beautiful reminder of all Italian grandmother. May God bless her and her family 👪
I watched this video because she’s adorable!
I enjoy watching you, Gina! Once you’ve ever been to Italy you really understand the simplicity of the food and especially good pizza!
She's the BEST of all TH-camrs that I've watched. Everything I've made many of her dishes, from homemade pasta to pizza!! Authentic Delicious! .❤ Peter and my 86 year old Mom, DOMENICA!
Look at her, and listen very carefully, this means Passion, Dedication for cooking and Respect for the Family !! Pizza has no secrets for her !! God bless you nona !!
Thank you, whatever genius thought of recording his grandma cooking with her accent, her skills, her love. I’m enjoying her immensely!
Exactly ... thank you for sharing your Grandmother to the world.
THAT'S RIGHT!! PRAY OVER YOUR COOKIN!!! Something we all should be doing!!!!!
Using scissors to cut pizza! I love it! You are a pure wholesome lady. God does not make humans like this any more. Amazing generation. ❤
How sweet that Gina prayed over the dough and covered it with a blanket while proofing. She reminds me of my own Nonna who always made us special dishes when she visited. I love when she sings too!
Grandma’s are the best. Take time to appreciate our elders. The knowledge and wisdom they have to give is priceless.
I agree, I still miss my two grandmothers!
You got that right !!!
Me too .😢
It's a beautiful thing you said Acehigh2020. I know it came from your heart ❤️. And you wisdom and knowledge is also priceless. God bless you and yours.
This Italian grandma is the real deal. You know our days and today grandma always made and makes the best pizza. No man on the planet or the universe can ever beat her. Men are quick to say they got it. Grandma's patience and love is perfection.😊
you are unstable.. please seek professional help
When Grandma cooks, the angels sing! It just doesn’t get any better than this! Thanks for sharing your recipe. 🤗
She looks like the sweet grandma who always takes care of you but doesn't hesitate you smack you with a skillet.
Flaphand italian grandmas summed up haha
I am a 52 year old Canadian male. I grew up in a Northern logging town. Both my parents worked and I had an Italian baby sitter. My mom would drop me off and pick me up after she finished teaching. Her name was Auntie Anna...I have fond memories of her and Uncle Tony. She would make me home made pizza, pasta, etc. As I look back now, I miss all the accents I grew up with, Italian, Serbo-Croatian, German, Dutch, etc. I miss the food, and most of all, my Aunties who used to look after me, and feed me. Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories.
Thank you Italian Grandma! You made me so hungry for your authentic Pizza!!
Bless her heart..sign of the cross before beginning..I did the same when I was baking hundred of cookies for my daughter's wedding cookie table!!❤
When she tucked the dough in on the couch 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Whoever's mother this is, is a very lucky person. She is just wonderful and I could listen to her all day
IS SHE NOT THE MOST ADORABLE LITTLE LADY?!!!!
Granny just made five pounds of pizza dough by hand, and I used a stand mixer today for four cups. LORD we are so spoiled! I'm subbing because I can feel the love flowing through her cooking for her family!
Her grandchildren have no idea how amazing their life is. . . .
If they do, all is right with the world, even considering the challenges. If they don't, they will someday, and then strive to be like her for their grandchildren. And it will go on. Either way, all will be right with the world.
I wish I grew up around her kitchen as a child.. 🌷💖🥰
This lady is truly the salt of the Earth. Listen and learn, these skills and knowledge are slowly fading away into dust.
I can’t imagine all the knowledge she has in her head. Remarkable. And, one better than the other.
It took me 15 years to figure out how to make pizza. Nona Gina makes it look so delicious and not too difficult to make. It really takes skill to bake pizza in such a relaxed manner too.
No hype, no fuss, just plain old "this is how you do it". Wrapping the dough in blankets brought back fond memories of my grandmother when I was very young; especially the time I sat on a pile, not thinking to check. The blankets saved the day. To this day, I instinctively check blankets before sitting on them.
Grazie per il ricordo.
I love this story!
Yes check blanket s before you sit down. My pet dog would sleep in between blankets and peek out his face when I called his name. Silly dog. He loved pizza too!
I am waking up today in Seattle... Watching & listening to a real Italian grandmother making pizza... And she wrapped her bread dough... in blankets on the couch... like family! Living alone in a big city, I find this so comforting. Bless you for sharing... in English with a lovely accent as authentic as your beautiful pizza!
Hello how are you doing, hope you had a nice weekend 😊
I so agree with you. If I could post photos, like I do with my Amazon recipes, you would see the bread I made about 4 times last week. I wrapped it like the baby Jesus in blankets and an Afghan and prayed. Did it taste better? Absolutely. Btw, you're far from alone. Hugs, Pete in North Palm Beach, Florida
@@thomasmadsenhanks8335 I love the Italian grandma too. She speaks the very fake distinct dialect as my people. Lol. Hoping you are very, very happy. Peter in North Palm Beach
Some folks are just nasty and ungrateful. GOD will deal with them. Italian Grandma is a national treasure. She’s sharing and passing down delicious recipes not just to her family but to the world. May she be forever Blessed ❤
You are absolutely right, they will get there's 🤬
I love this lady!! What a lovely grandma sharing her recipe and how-to with us. Need more like her to share their knowledge and enjoyment of cooking!
“Now we make-a da pizzaaa, now we make-a da pizzaaa!” 😂
I could watch this absolutely fantastic lady all day. She is all gold. Love her. "I'm only making 5 pounds. It's like nothing" 😍😍😍 She is a boss!
I love the cooking, and her hands. I also cook from scratch and it is a joy to use your hands to create meals for family. Thank you also for telling about community ovens. I loved it when you said we were happy then and we are happy now with the ways of ovens. Love listening to your stories.
I’m a simple man, I see “ Italian Grandma Makes Pizza “ I give a thumb’s up 👍🏻👏🏻.
How could it not be great?
I could listen to her all day. She just makes me smile.
I'm 100%
i love this lady from the bottom of my heart. she is sooo precious.
Can you be my grandmother? LOL!! This is the first video I've watched of you & I love you already!!
Gina. You are the sweetest! Such a joy to watch your videos.
Your stories are heartwarming…. Like not having an oven!
Or your mom washing clothes by hand and singing a beautiful Italian song !!
America is great because of people like you !!
Grandma Gina! Brings me back to the days I cooked with my grandma!
The amount of love in this woman's cooking is truly something to admire
She blessed her dough. That's the secret ingredient.
This lady is a national treasure.
I can’t help myself-when she asks, “Alright?”, I smile and respond, “Alright!” I like to pretend I’m in the kitchen with her.😊
These grandmas I wish the world would never lose them. I don’t think the coming generations would be like them when they become grandmas
I came across Gina while searching for a pesto recipe. I now watch Gina with my 88 year old mother. My mother has dementia, but we both enjoy the videos. So much in common with my mother. We came to Toronto in 1969, Gina migrated to New Jersey in 1970. She has family in Toronto, and like my mother all the recipes were in her head. All the stuff she makes, my mother would make too, now I have Gina to refer to for an approximate amount to use. I watch my mom every other weekend and we watch Gina together, my mother says, Gina has been cooking non stop for weeks, lol. Also, every song Gina sings, my mother laughs and sings along with her, must be the age group as they are only 3 years apart. So much in common and such a love we have for Gina. Hope one of her children acknowledge this short, but meaningful note.
Thank you for watching. I am happy to hear you and your mom are enjoying the videos. I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless you both.

If you want to make good Italian food, you consult a Italian lady thats been cooking before i was born. You cant go wrong learning to cook from this very experienced Italian lady. Thanks mama Gina ❤
I lived in Italy for two years. Our dear friend Guilia, I miss her. She taught me a lot bout Italian cooking. I love this channel.
What a wonderful lady and video of making traditional Italian pizza!
It brings back warm memories of my South American grandmother when I was a little boy, I would watch her in the kitchen make traditional recipes from her country...
Grazie mille Grandma Gina :)
Your family are very lucky they have you...
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the dough that she grew on the living room's couch? Now that's comfort food.
I was thinkin the same thing lol
@@austinroberts3876 I just made a batch and it is resting on my sofa right now!
@@virginiasblendorio5731 yall got me inspired to try to make dough for the first time. Will attempt next payday. How'd it turn out??
Hah! I got a batch beside me on the couch with 5 blankets!
@@austinroberts3876 Not bad for a first try. Practice makes perfect.
I really don’t care what people say about her I think she is a great lady
It was priceless growing up with an Italian grandma from Italy
I vote Grandma Gina for President, then we’d see people come together as family, with love, respect, and joy. Thank you so much, I’m always happier after looking at her cook
Also , making the sign of the cross when making bread is a beautiful gesture, relating to our eternal bread of life!
Thank you Grandmaman! 💕
What a precious gem this beautiful Nonna is. We are very fortunate she shares her knowledge and love for all to enjoy! 🙌🇮🇹
I'm 100%
Thank you for taking your time to time to share.I enjoy your video 's.
Keeping the public informed.
Your welcome, you get the truth on this channel.
Keeping the public informed.
As sweet as she is (and Gina is VERY cute and authentic), I think special thanks go to her kids/grandkids for making these videos for her. They show tremendous respect by allowing her to be herself, without editing or corrections to her speech etc. It's a beautiful, living tribute to Gina and a sweet thing to share with us web-dwellers. Thanks for bringing her recipes and techniques to life.
I agree with you completely about those helping her to make the video. There is absolutely no reason to correct or make fun of a sweet Nonna who is trying to teach you things that are second nature to her! She is adorable, and this is my new favorite channel!
the captions help
These videos are not about recipes. They are about family. All four of my grandparents came from Italy. It is apparent that this grandmother is adored by her family, as it should be. I congratulate Gina not on making pizza but on making her family. I am sure Gina takes little pride in her pizza but great pride in her family. To her family: be proud, the love you show for her, shines through these videos. That type of love is more Italian than American but is certainly not exclusive to Italians. That love and respect may not be noticed by all viewers but it is certainly noticed by some. May God continue to bless you all.
I like how she tucks the dough in for a nap on the couch! She's adorable!
I love she says "the gravy ready for the pizza!!!" Love you Gina, you brighten my day ❤️ your stories about the community ovens is heartwarming. God bless you Gina, what a rich and wonderful life you've lived
I'm 100%
She's a sweetheart. God bless her. ❤❤❤❤
We need more old people on TH-cam, this is one of the best ways to preserve their techniques.
Absolutely!!!
I love that she wraps the dough up like a baby and sets it on the couch haha
When you get a little old lady with an Italian accent you know the pizza is going to be good
OMG I love this lady.
Hello Susan how are you doing, hope you had a nice weekend 😊
