      yessss thank you! lol.. everyone from outside of Philly always have an assumption that "ohh, your from Philly, you must love cheesesteaks".. we don't just sit around and eat cheesesteaks all day. Lol. Great show you have. I enjoyed watching this episode in particular.

      Alan but it bothers me when he goes to cities like philly and Chicago and even Naples and hits these major chains. Many of these places are hardly hidden gems. Best restaurants, including pizza shops, don’t belong to major food companies.

    My brother's douchbag cat is really loud when no one is home, but one day, we found out that Frank's voice soothed him. Now before we leave for work in the morning, we set his furry ass up with the Pizza Show playlist so he doesn't bother the neighbors with his bitching. Thank you, Frank. Thank you for bringing peace to my home, pizza really does sooth the restless beast.

      It was really weird seeing Frank have to fold his arms, lean against a countertop, and actively stop himself from helping ... he's usually so helpful and engaged with his hosts but this guy was like "My pizza is sacred, keep your filthy peasant hands off of it."
      It reminds me of that guy in either the Rome episode or the Naples episode ... who said "You're a baker, you're a pizzaiolo, not a heart surgeon." Meaning pizza isn't a religion and shouldn't be so damn serious.

I've never seen this. Where'd this BS come from?" It's good to finally know the answer. This columnist made it up. Who knows, it may catch on but until such time everybody in Philadelphia except for *that guy* thinks it's a bonehead move; some would say "unnecessary".

Pizza, Philly, and Lancaster....three of my favorite things in the world...all in one video! Thanks for this, Frank!

    That solo pizza guy is trying real hard to be the next Dom Demarco and you know what? Sure he may come off a little hipster-ey but if he actually sticks with it for another 50 years his spot might very well become the next Di Fara's. That's what separates the hipster douches from the real artisans. Time spent.

      It's more about taste, bro. I've had Di Fara's. The best pizza I've ever had, but it's not the prettiest NY slice out there. And besides, if he really does it for 50 more years, he'll be constantly perfecting his craft as he goes along. Like Jiro dreams of Sushi, just with pizza.
