Been following Paulie Gee since the Slice days when his backyard pizza parties were getting blogged about. So cool to watch a career change fairly late in life and how happy he is with it.
Food memories are incredibly powerful. That specific flavor you ate growing up, no matter what cuisine is branded into your taste buds. There are precious few people like Paulie Gee out there who want to make pizza taste old school. The majority of pizzeria owners don’t really give much thought to nostalgia or they’re trying to reinvent the wheel using new types of flour and techniques. For me, I hit up the old joints as much as I can and places like Paulie’s that reach back to the past.
At least a few of the people at Roberta's in Brooklyn say Paulie Gee stole the Hellboy slice from them. I have no reason to doubt that. They apparently did it before he did. But Paulie Gee seems to credit his influences in multiple videos. Plus Anthony Falco of Roberta's has his own controversies of not giving credit.
I've never been to Paulie Gee's. I've never had their pizza. But, after watching this video, it's undeniable that they are keeping and advancing New York's cherished pizza culture. I hope to try their pizza one day.
Paulie’s Pizza Theory is spot on!! I’m still looking for pizza that tastes and smells like the pizza place on Jerome Ave (between Gun Hill Rd and Moshula Parkway) in The Bronx when I was a toddler back in 1959. I can still visualize the quilted shiny metal wall behind the counter.
The prep cooks in these small.places are incredible. They sometimes work 2-3 jobs per day to make ends meet yet show up everyday at the time most of us are going to bed and start working. They are artisans and basically responsible for the majority of the food prep that goes on.
@@metromusic5725 and we all watched it & can decide to go or not. What does paying for a video or not has to do with respecting the work of his crew, or working hard?
It’s great to see how pizzas,is made,it takes a team to make a great pizza it’s people who knows what they’re doing and have love understanding heart,to do the job right.
One of my to-do list things is to go to New York one day and try different pizza spots since NY is so well known for their pizza. I've been a pizza lover since grade school days and I'm 41 now so many decades of pizza love. Paulie Gee's is a place I'd try if I ever go to New York, others dream of going to Disney but mine is the pizza capital of the US
Getting so hungry watching this clip, couple of my favorite pizza shops went under during covid and it's tough finding a good slice without jumping in the car and driving out of the way.
This guy is the magician of Pizza. I live in Chicago and we do have two Paulie Gee’s near me. Slice shop in Wicker Park which is fantastic right at the Damen Blue line stop. Also have in Logan Square a shop that makes a Detroit style pizza that has won the USA pizza cup before and it’s amazing. These guys I’m convinced can master any type of pizza.
Thank you #Eater. Love how you focus on families and local institutions. Thank you Paulie Gee's for allowing us to share in your processes. Congrats on your success. Behind every great pizza are the people who work tireless hours to maintain exceptional standards and quality.
Nice shout out to Freddy’s in Whitestone. My grandparents lived a few blocks from there and it was a regular place for pizza when we’d visit. Great place!
I appreciate how he wasn't trying to be the best or put all the bells and whistles into his product. He has a specific vision and does the best he can with that goal in mind. It was also neat to hear where all his ideas came from and the history behind his choices--he isn't trying to be original, he is respecting a legacy.
I agree about the first slice of pizza - pepperoni from this greek familys restaurant that was nearby my grandmothers house, it closed ages ago when the owners past and their kids did not take over. Never found anything like it since.
The first pizza I had was sauce and cheese on a bagel at school lunch. Every single pizza I've had since has been better. Still, thanks to those lunch ladies for introducing me to pizza.
Had the honor to talk for a while wiyh Paulie Gee at his restaurant whilst waiting to be seated. Superb guy, nice to talk too and very friendly! Ot was the 3rd weekend my gf and i went to his place to eat and he loved it so much that he gave us free limoncello as a thank you 😄
I went to high school (a prep school) with the grandson of the family who invented the Jetspray. Needless to say, he was a very wealthy kid and somewhat obnoxious. Great video. More than make you hungry for your delectable pies, etc. Yum, Yum!
Dang, honey on pizza???? I'm a home pizza maker and that thought never crossed my mind. You know I'm doing exactly that next week on pizza night. I'm going to call it the Mike & Paulie Pie. Cheers NYC
every single establishment in Greenpoint has a 30-50% markup over any other neighboorhood in the city because everyone who lives there is a wealthy upper middle class transplant. bagels, chinese food, craft beer, pizza. 3 slices at Pauly G's cost as much as an entire pie 10 blocks over. Torst charges $15 for a pint of lager. Xi'an Famous Foods charges $8 more for the N31 plate in Greenpoint than they do at their Flushing location. Frankels charges $18 for bagel sandwiches. the price gouging in this neighborhood has been out of control for a very long time.
Any place with more than twenty thousand people in it is a concrete hell hole, as far as I'm concerned. Having visited all the big ones, I know to drive around, rather than through.
@@metromusic5725 A little kid having zero idea of life. Someone who works basically 24/7 on something for YEARS wants it to get recognition and attention he deserbes. Doing a win win for both sides and doing an ad with it is absolutely normal and realisitc. Grow up and have some respect.
It comes from.... (I was expecting Italy :D ) But NY is special, they make their Pizza (at least what I have seen from documentaries and videos) special and it is different for a reason. What they will call Sicilian not always will be the same in Italy, but it still has tradition and often the traditional has merged into something entirely different. But the video also made me smile - soup like, this is what we look for in a Dough - is not a thing you want to hear :D

Paulie is a great guy with an interesting and inspiring story. Because of that he's very encouraging and always makes time for folk.
you can see how much passion the owner of the shop has for it just in how he talks about it, I would love some where like this in the UK local to me!

I love how this owner like pays respect to the people who influenced him, and helps his workers promote their work! Amazing video and people :)

I've never had pizza in my life, you do not need pizza. Just rice. Do not poison your stomach
Then his decision to pay Eater for a video worked on you!
Legendary? Never heard of him. 🤣🤣🤣

Paulie Gee's makes me so happy. I have to stop by when I'm in the area.
Dope. Crazy the amount of prep work these restaurants put into the food. Respect
It be interesting what they do when the camera is off 😅
Hire a bunch of Mexicans. Done.
Prep space is crucial for baking, especially yeasted doughs
@@jonathand827meth , aderall or coke !
Me it was aderall mostly but some meth when ever couldn’t find meth

The fact these cooks need to work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet is just sad.
He's right! Those booths are so comfortable despite having no padding. They bring back memories.
you can see how proud he is in his eyes, so special and its amazing how he can share his love with all his workers and customers
Much respect to this guy and his crew.
why? he paid for this video to be made

Love to learn about these places. Lots of history, quality of food and pride for what they do... Amazing!
Very interesting video. A lot of work goes into this hard work very very hard work. Very much appreciated my mouth is watering as I’m watching this.😊
Love that he has so much love for days gone by!!!
Now this is the pizza from my childhood! God bless you and thanks for posting this awesomeness!
Love from Chicago! This East Coast native is so thankful you brought this to the Midwest. That NY slice is a core memory.

I have been to his slice shop on 13th Street in Philadelphia several times. It was always excellent.
I love the Philly location
Nostalgia. Kept it authentic with the pizzeria. Reminded me of my childhood pizza shop in Brooklyn
I took my son here yesterday. Let me tell you, that plain slice with a grape fountain soda was like biting into 1996.

I have only been to the Paulie Gees in Columbus Ohio but I can't wait to try this when I get to New York.
I'd like to have orange in there...gotta work on that
Love it
It’s back!

Keep up the hard work and respect for a great institution 😊
I’m from jersey. I love the pioneers who made NY/NJ PIZZA amazing. But major BIG UPS to the ones keeping their legacy going behind the scenes.
Nice shout out to Freddy’s in Whitestone. My grandparents lived a few blocks from there and it was a regular place for pizza when we’d visit. Great place!
I know what he means with the booths that’s what I sat in as a kid and a teenager growing up love them
Been going to Paulie Gees sit down spot for yrs. (Not the slice shop) Still one of my favorites.

Looks amazing
What an art, that's awesome !
those guys are literal BALLERS! 🤣🍕
I’m a Paulie Gee fan now. Seems like a really good man.
My favorite square is L&B Spumoni, but I'll give Paulie a try.
I love L&B’s square as well. I always get a slice or two when I go there to pick up tubs of their spumoni to serve in our shops.
It looks so good
Yum looks like a superior product. i want to eat like 3 pies one sicilian, one plain cheese one with pepp. and hot honey!
Love you Paulie!
Great job fellas 👊🏽👊🏽
Nothing like the old school💪👑.
Wow 🍕looking delicious
That looks amazing. I need a hell boy now!!
Would love to try your Pizza. Love your classic NYC style. 👨🍳🗽🚖🙌👍👍👍

Sesame seeds be fire , I always get them seeds on my crust.
This is one of those pizza when you saw the dough and you know it's going to be good
now THIS is the kinda pizza shop i grew up with !
Son unos maestros en estirar la masa de las pizas y se ven espetacular al salir del horno
Yes, Paulie Gee, you do make the best pizza in the city 😍 Having Paulie Gee’s two blocks away has been the best AND worst thing ever 🤤
bless you sir

Humble yes. But also know he paid Eater for this video to be produced. Its an ad.

Paulie really said he was getting verclempt... IYKYK 🤣🤣
Ayoo, the ingredients shown in the video actually healthy, kudos to the store 🥰
Your Sicilian dough guy must REALLY be a good friend if you let him wear that Phillies hat in your restaurant... 🧐😄
I wish you were in my neighborhood here in Harrisburg, PA. I cannot find a good pizza here. Originally from New York so I am spoiled.
Been there, fabulous!👌🏻
Some great looking 😋🍕💯
So cool! Looks delicious!
Awesome 😎
Props to Aldo. He does the heavy work for sure. Without the perfect base the final product would be crap.
Yes Baldo gets it done.
I miss Paulie Gee's in Miami sad to see them go.
gotta check this place out next time I'm in brooklyn
i can just tell by the video of the cheese pizza it's top tier
Every time I start a low carb phase these kinds of videos are recommended by the algorithm. It's like TH-cam knows it and wants to torture me.
Very good show folk's look's delicious.
Love pizza
Not gonna lie, watching this video made me hungry.
I just rewatched this video while eating Paulie Gee's pizza.
Real Facts.
Looks just like Bruno's in my neighborhood with the same ld benches, drink dispensers, but we have Italian ices.🤔🗽
hes got 2 locations in Chicago and theyre both excellent.
i peeped the Mike's Hot Honey Product placement, you can't fool us Eater!! lmaoo
Eater had nothing to do with that. It was all me all me and I didn’t get a dime for doin’ it.
those pie's look delish
great work on stretching out the dough
My first ever pizza was from round table pizza, anyone else? I just remember castles and happy.
