The Pizza Show: All About Frank, All About Pizza

- You've seen our host Frank Pinello visit pizzerias all across the country-now it's time to get to know Frank and his own pizzeria, Best Pizza, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Frank takes us to the Culinary Institute of America where he first honed his passion for cooking, then to Giacomo's, the first pizzeria he ever worked in, and finally to the neighborhood he grew up in: Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.
There's no better way to get to know Frank than through the eyes of his family, so we hit some of his favorite neighborhood places and end it all with a Pinello family dinner, complete with Nonna, pizza potatoes and scratch-offs.

Frank is legitimately one of the best presenters I've ever seen on camera. Not just at Munchies, or for a CZcams pizza show, but any presenter/host. Impossible not to like, and root for.
@Dr. Phil's creampie lounge what males you think any of that other than just to simply think the exact opposite of everybody else?? Lol
@Dr. Phil's creampie lounge I only think,he sometimes said that the food was great,even when he really didn't liked it.To vell mannered lol but you can't find so easily a show host,that has real passion about something and is so down to earth like he is.But there were days i disliked puppy videos because i was piss off,everyone can have his opinion.At least i hope you enjoyed some episodes from the pizza show
Can we talk about the dance moves of the guy at 10:03 though?
Brings tears to my eyes my friend. Dude is a legend that needs so so so so much more love. Outstanding presenting. It feels like I am on the other side of the table.
He’s super cute too 🥰
This is why Frank is such a good host. The episode is titled "All about Frank" and Frank spends the whole episode making it all about everyone else.
Great italian family!!!
Well said
he's talking about pizza so he kinda has to talk about other people.
All of these factors is the reason he is who he is today. The beauty is that he hasn't forgotten where he came from.
Frank would make an awesome father.
Please Munchies give this guy a third season. And the fourth and the fifth and the sixth... Please🙏
Yes
PLEASEEEEEEEEEE
Please, Please, Please
Please 🙏
Yes
Giacomo's bit is very emotional and inspiring. Everyone should have a good mentor.
Man Frank is such a swell, cool dude. Really nice episode of him going back to his roots and showing us his influences
Toby K. He's my dad funnily enough
Lucky dude
proof pls
Toby K. I agree brotha
I just watched this episode of munchies recently: czcams.com/video/E73UexQCFvM/video.htmlm58s
that episode was four years ago... waaaay before he got his Pizza Show. You could see him sportin that Giacomo's shirt inside HIS OWN pizza shop at Best Pizza. Sportin that shirt was paying homage to Giacomo's just illustrates what you said... and he was doing that before he got his own show. truly genuine and a class act.
Frank's the fucken man.
this dudes humbleness is infectious
humility
“Infectious” - Jeremy Bracco to Alex Jost during training
Yeah, one cold dude.
The fact that Frank makes his own mozz is fucking amazing. That takes so much craftsmanship and time. If I catch myself in Brooklyn, I'm definitely making a stop at Best.
You'd be surprised. You can make some in 30 min lol. Not to knock on the guy but it does show if you want the best, you gotta do certain things yourself. It all becomes a part of this multi-layered journey. Cooking is the best. I now make my own breads, fresh pastas, sushi, chinese take-out style dishes, soft flour tortillas for making my own burritos and other wraps, cliff bars, chili, stews, breakfast deli sandwiches on my own english muffins from scratch. Then every now and then, I check out a bunch of tasty videos for some inspiration lol. Enjoy. :) Now confident on various styles of pizza, especially classic Sicilian sfincione and Napoli haha
ok
Ive tried best pizza a few months ago. It was very good but the grandma slice was freaking god tier. It literally was the most perfect golden oily crispy crust I’ve ever held. You get to draw on a paper plate theres a wall filled with them
James Kim Well now I *definitely* need to go. 😂
Just got a pie from Best Pizza for my birthday today. So good.
The fact the Frank pays tribute to Bill Meier for being his pizza delivery guy just shows you how much of a caring human being that Frank is. As well as how much he values human interactions and relationships. Honestly, that’s very special. RIP Bill Meier and God bless Frank Pinello. Much love.
when Bill was on the show he basically shushed him lol, idk if their chemistry was really that good 😂
I am a simple man, I see Frank Pinello I like the video
Gotta water that pavement
You're an unoriginal man seeking thumbs up validation
I am a Frank, I see a simple man I video the like.
Simple Jack
the bro approved
Yo Frank, I'm a barber in Victoria BC Canada and I now water the concrete in front of my shop💈❤️💈. Respect!
💖
@@sadiesadie6343 Hi from Vancouver!
Jay I'm In victoria what's your shop called?
Don't do it during winter or else you'll *lose* customers hahah
Jay Man SEATTLE GANG
Frank yelling at his sister over a chair is the most Italian thing I've ever seen
Lol
And asian too
@@robertglenn6911 lol probably all humanity
Sisters are here to make our blood boil. Love em.
After all the Romance is gone, Owner/Operator of a Restaurant is actually fairly hardwork. Speaking from experience 🤣🙏🏽🔥
SHOUTOUT TO BILL MAY HIS LAST DELIVERY BE TO HEAVEN, AMEN
this made me laugh but fuck yeah bill is the man
How did he die
here`s a 10 Minute Documentary about Bill . . .so awesome to check out. rest in peace Bill czcams.com/video/0NG6Dk47Zro/video.html
Rip soldier
RIP Bill
I went to Best Pizza when I visited NYC specifically because of this show. Great pizza and the staff was great. I would've loved to meet Frank but still had a good experience.
I wish i could go
same!! It was an incredible experience. amazing pizza
I get over to that part of Williamsburg regularly. I tried it and it was decent, though I wouldn't say it was amazing compared to some other places I've been at roughly the same price point and the vibe is a little touristy. I bet the pies are better than the slices. I'll go back again for a second try. L&B Spumoni Gardens, on the other hand, is crazy good, but it's way out in South Bensonhurst so not touristy at all and a fairly long trip.
Told my sister to visit there
NeoBulRheGhi you know he passed away
He is a great human being, he understands the essence of being a human being, to respect your peers, acknowledging peoples contribution to making who you are.
You my good sir is probably the greatest pizza guy that ever will be. I will visit your establishment someday soon to show my humble appreciation
Very well said. And possibly the most kind and most well deserved comment on CZcams. I hope your next pizza tastes really good!
@Toni Memetaj the fuck? If you're gonna say something like that atleast back it up
@Toni Memetaj okay, I hope you get drafted
...but a shark in pizza
Giacomo looked genuinely humble and kind and seemed so impressed with frank it made me smile beyond belief
Frank is like the italian cousin of Jason Statham....he is the pizza transporter~
You just blew my freakin mind!!
Lol good eye!
so i am not the only one noticed there is a little bit of Jason Stathan in this dude.
I think this is the best episode so far. Seeing Frank reconnect with his old mentor, it was like he was a little kid.
I like Nonna Pasqualina's swag, rockin' that Louis Vuitton blanket.
Ayoub true, true
Time is a real fucker... the first episode, what 2 yrs ago, Bill is riding his bike and Nonna's cranking out food in the kitchen... now Nonna's chilling in style like the Don. Make the best of time everyone.
Was thinking the same thing
SatanSupimpa dat vice money
She's cool as hell. Im pretty sure she was in an earlier vice thing about Frank
"Coulda brought some pizza tho" that had me laughin, and so true tho. working all day in a place like that, nothing would be better than a couple of fresh hot pies to snack on.
Frank is the only dude that can make you wanna buy a plane ticket somewhere to go get a pizza , dude is amazing in different ways
Real humble guy. Took my family to his pizza spot. He chopped it up with my Aunt who was born and raised around S 3RD . REAL STAND UP GUY.
But hows the pizza?
@@troybavelaar4943 As the name implies, Best.
RIP BILL :(
I remember watching him in Frank's Chef Night Out. Seems like a very nice guy. RIP.
None of my business but what happened???
nice picture mate, reminds me of something
Fuhgawz102 he OD'd
asilva5021 How do you know?
I love Franks humility, and light-hearted living in the moment, style...his focus on always wanting to learn more and share it keeps me coming back. Family is his core, sad to see in our society, that is lost on so many.
The duel guitars in the background at 11:45 is so touching, as he's talking about his home and his passion. Great editing
Frank the type of dude to have pride in his establishment and neighborhood.
Frank is such a cool dude. I love the pride he takes for his family, work an neighbourhood. I also love his New York accent! If I ever visit New York, i'm going to Best Pizza
Frank is the greatest thing to come to "food" TV. The man is a superstar in the making. Reason? Humility and honesty. This my friends is what makes a superstar. Take Gordan Ramsey for example. On the surface, he looks like an arrogant human. But nope. When shown his ways from someone that knows what they are doing (His recent series in the jungles and whatnot) he takes a step back and takes what they have to heart. Frank...dude will take advice from me for no reason on how to make a hotdog. Dude is a legend. I wish and hope and pray to one day have a taste of his pizzas!
This episode is why I subscribed to the Munchies channel. Frank deserves 7 seasons and a feature film.
I love Frank man. Such a cool, humble guy. I really respect how much he reveres his mentors and elders. Rest In Peace Bill, you were the back bone bro....your energy is sorely missed. Much future success to u Frank, and may Nonna live forever.
Frank’s is cool! Great guy:). Love his passion for family and values.
Frank is the man. My dad and I love to spray the concrete off too...
Gotta water that pavement
You know brooms don't work on heavily dirt caked surfaces right?
Yeah waste that water
How can you spray the *CONCRETE* off?
There's nothing like a comment line that descends to the depths of stupidity.
On my last trip to NY, I went to Giacomo's because of this video. And the influence on Frank's pies at Best Pizza is evident. Quality.
Wow One of my favorite episodes. I live in Poughkeepsie NY Right by that Giacomo’s and CIA It’s awesome to see him driving down the streets that I know. I’ve been to that Giacomo’s and it’s really good. Good luck with everything you do bro
Me being Sicilian I'm proud to see other sicilians keeping traditions alive and working hard like our grandparents and parents did when they came here. Cheers Frank.
You're American not Sicilian and so is he
Maxwise Ganjee I’m proud to be both. Wouldn’t want it any other way.
Maxwise is correct. Your descent is italian, not you. We Europeans are sick of hearing things
"Im german", oh so we can chat in german? "No my grandparents are from Germany"...............then youre not german
I gotta admit, the host is seriously such a genuine sweet guy. Always passionate, always grateful and a family man who serves not only his community but serves us with entertainment, social life, food, etc. He is the reason why I am so interested in pizza lately, I crave it all the time now. Please keep making these videos, they are life changing! Peace!
BRING BACK frank cant get enuff pizza show is the best food show / dokumentary ever and ive seen em all come on munchies
Ayo, Frank’s Nonna was DRIPPIN in da Louis V blanket🔥🔥 God Bless
Frank is a fantastic host!
Frank conveys so much heart in his videos. His passion shows through in everything he does.
Spraying down the sidewalk. 😂 that’s about the most Italian thing ever! lol love it! So awesome! Gotta visit his restaurant someday!
I have watched several of this guy’s videos and it just dawned on me why he is successful: Humility.
I’m sure there are other people out there with talent and ambition but humility is a rare commodity these days and this is proof that it is still valued. I live in Germany but next time I am in New York I will definitely check out these pizzerias.
THE best series on CZcams.
Cheers to that
THERES A MEXICAN CHANNEL ON HERE THAT DOES MEXICAN FOODS IN MEXICO REVIEWS AND THEY HAVE BETTER SERIES IM FROM NEWYORK SO THIS IS STILL DOPE AS FUCK
here here
Frank is so awesome. So respectful, friendly, and genuine at all times. Amazing host.
I dunno what it is but I keep coming back to these episodes of the pizza show...Something about Frank that just so amazing.
Watching this was such a learning experience. I haven't seen such a humble, grateful guy. I wish I learn to find my roots again someday, just like this. It's really an gratifying experience to achieve what you'd set out to do, and one day just sit back and cherish the journey that you've been on.
name a slice after Bill, he deserves it.
I miss Bill!!!!
best idea, best comment, do it Frank !!
Can Gormezano Bill must of had a go2slice or pie he always ordered
Bill's fav. nr 1 pizza was the straight pepperoni slice
The MF Badass Pizza Pie™
Frank is without a doubt the greatest heart on this planet RIGHT NOW.... What a gentleman.... He has the old respect which will get you everywhere... To Frank... Take a bow.... 😉
Frank listens hwith rapt attention to his former teacher. He stands next to him with his arms folded, with utmost respect. He brings up moments where he was taught something, you can tell by the look on his face he is grateful. Frank, you have my heart sir ♥️
I just started watching this series several days ago and I have to say I have so much respect for Frank, he's a very humble and down-to-earth guy.
noooo wayy RIP BILL
Human interaction at its best ... heartwarming video. Frank is a really happy person.. does'nt look like the world will ever bring him down..
He's a beaut
The way Giacomo looked at Frank was as tender as a father feeling so proud about his son.
❤️❤️❤️
I am currently binging this series!! I don’t even know frank and I feel like I’ve know him for years 👌
Rest in Peace Bill, we all pray for u and hope u will be in peace😢😥✌
Why wouldnt a dead person be at peace? They no longer exist.
User Delusion sounds pretty peaceful..
That's my point..
hope he took his crack pipe or no rip
This guy just loves and lives pizza, a real master
This guy is more than genuine & endearing. How you can tell, he's a great human being.
Respect man!
Your humbleness, your deep motivation to make your viewer understand the passion behind every food cultures you present, is something really special!
Cheers from Bologna (Italy), hope to see you here to show our local traditional cuisine!
Peace
You can tell Frank knows how to eat pizza just by watching what he does immediately, without hesitation, after the sauce drips off his square slice at Spumoni's Garden
Frank is lucky to live in an area that supports local pizzerias. My city is all about chain pizza, local spots don't last. Most of the local pizza spots aren't going for authentic they're for crazy toppings combos. A small shop with good pizza is all Im asking for.
IDiggPattyMayonnaise this!
IDiggPattyMayonnaise Be the change you want to see. But also don't throw your money away diving blind into the food service industry. Idk do whatever the fuck you want I guess
NYC has a pizza culture, most places don't. NYC in general seems to have a distain for chains outside of the tourist traps.
I live in Washington state, and the pizza culture is almost non-existent here. The only places that aren't chains are overpriced as shit, and while the quality is better than the chains, it doesn't live up to its price point.
There's just not a market for pizzerias unless it's a big city.
In Germany we don't have chains, except pizza hut, which closes one after another, because italy is 2 hrs. by plane or depends on where in germany 5-10 hrs of driving, we have original italians doing original italian pizza everywhere in the country, bless up !
Frank, such a great guy and human being. Glad I found this channel today. Dude lifted my soul. Thanks bro.
This guy is so genuine, love this show and we need new episodes!!!!
Frank seem like such a cool and down to earth guy doing what he loves. He has such an appreciation and humbleness for his family and mentors. Its awesome to see...I wish him well
14:54 that dudes voice is heavenly haha
fuck hahahaha knxwledge or someone should sample that
He's right.
like some character from godfather!
He needs to be a radio DJ, very good voice for it
Obizur fogetaboutit
I liked this video. Frank shared his good moments with his family by delicious food. Family relationship is the best one .
One of the sweetest people on CZcams. Love you Frank! Your show is by far my favorite.
R.i.p billl
This video makes me insanely happy :)
Allie G This video makes me insanely sad. Living out of country for 4 years, the food and family shit gets to you after awhile.
Jonathan Martin what u know shitT sitting your smelly room mom playing games and watching CZcams😕 STFU
Thank you Frank for letting the world into the home of your family, that was great. I know this video is almost 2-years old now, but hey, Sorry i am late, I still came. Your pizza place and the stores you visited......To die for !!
Keep the video's coming, We all want to see more about pizza !!
This was an amazing & very sweet episode. Thank you so much for sharing yourself with your viewers. Blessings to you.
i just love his personality..very down-to-earth guy, approachable, dependable,so passionate about his food..best munchies mc..
Being from a Turkish family I can defiantly see the similarity between the cultures of the Mediterranean (Greek Italian Turkish ect)
Turkish cuisine and generally Eastern food is a whole different world from Mediterranean cuisine. Unless you refer to Minor Asia where mamy Greeks lived before the Young Turks genocide.
we are very very similar
His full first name in Francesco how beautiful!
17:11 " Thanks Frank, you could've brought some pizza" is the most italian thing I haver ever seen and remined me so much of my cousins and uncles back home when I go to visit.
This episode, let alone this whole series has truly inspired me to open up a," Best Pizza" in my home town! Literally I've worked in pizza/fast food for the past 15 years. What my home town wants and honestly truly needs is A "Best Pizza'!!! Homemade cheeses. Dough sauce everything!
Did you do it??
Frank is the man you marry.
P J 😂😂👌
Kit Kefner uhhhhh he never did that
@Kit Kefner what.
Kit Kefner this comment makes no sense but okay
Uh yeah I just realised this haha
Hi Frank, I just started watching your videos. Your pizza looks amazing! I Love how you gave homage to all the people that guided you from the very beginning. Your family is Lovely. And you, so humble you deserve all the. Blessings God has to offer.
The dinner with Frank's family is so heartwarming. You just feel at home watching all of them together
Frank is the best! Great background hard working and not stopping anytime soon. Salute
I swear I love The Pizza Show with all my heart, Frank is an amazing host as well and it's so interesting to listen to what he knows and what he does.... Also, NYC looks like such a fascinating place, it's amazing to see so many different cultures and so many warm people who share with each other everyday!
This is so bloody wholesome,
Frank Pinello deserves everything in life!
what a humble man and so appreciative of everyone who has taught him.
THERE'S A CHAIR RIGHT BEHIND YOU!
njc2o 😂
omg I didn't expect the last half of this episode to be this heartwarming :')
One of your best videos!!! Loved meeting your family and all of your stops in Brooklyn before seeing your Nona…special!!!!
This show gives me life. Frank is the perfect host. Never stop making episodes, pretty please.
Love this episode, Frank and family has so much heart. Bonissimo.
Guys like Frank deserve all the blessings he gets in this life
I just love Frank so much. Brotha just wants to make pizza and make people happy. Can’t get any better than that.
thx frankie..... as a teen ager i worked at a sbarros and forgot it all..... during the pandemic tho i started making dough balls again and now me and my kids make pizza everyday. Dough and sauce from scratch thx bro peace.
I love frank's humblesness, he's the best !
Frank, Love your Best Pizza and love all the youtube, you are the bomb! Your nonna is adorable and you have a lovely family. Great guy, good head on your shoulders, you care about quality and most of all you care about your customers. God Bless you and your family, and all the best to all your businesses! Buona Fortuna, e auguri!!!
Love this guy. And i love pizza as well. Great show, appreciate.
Loved going back to the essence with Frank, so genuine with everyone. Sorry about bill too, I just found out watching this. R.I.P. great dude.
Nona most be head of the maffia with that Louis Vuitton scarf
heatonfeet no just regular South Brooklyn nonna swag :)
They are Sicilian 👀
I enjoy all your videos, I am glad that we got to meet (kinda) your parents. So glad you're doing so well for yourself. You deserve it.
Thanks for a great insight Frank! Love your family! And your mom is strikingly beautiful.
Can’t believe I missed this video! Greetings from Poughkeepsie! I live 1 mile from the original Giacomo’s on Spackenkill Rd. My youngest Son lives in Brooklyn and when he visits its Grandma Pie from Giacomos time! I also have a niece who graduated from the CIA. The campus is beautiful! I’ve been here since 1964. Toured the Seminary part of the CIA in 1972.
Love your videos❤️
What a great episode. Wonderful ending, left me feeling warm inside. Blesse la pizza, blesse Francesco y blesse Nona!
Iv been a construction worker in nz for the last 15 years, all ways obsessed with food, unemployed now, tell ya man this is what I have always wanted to do with my life, food, flavour, texture... so good
food is more than taste and presentation. there are memories, senses, and emotion that adds to the reasons why people love a dish and restaurant. this is the perfect video that truly shows that he understands the perfect combination of the impact of food in our everyday lives. love it! great show!
Beautiful!!!! Full Respect to you and your family ...
