Is New Haven Pizza Better Than New York Pizza? 

this guy is just so nice, but in a subtle way- just feel like a respect this guy. one of the better presenters

This guy, Frank Pinello, is a great host. Well informed but remains a student as well as very respectful of everyone he comes across. Really enjoying these "Pizza Shows"!

This show is 10/10. Connects with the younger crowd, and the older crowd. The host ACTUALLY loves what he does. You can tell in his voice, and his eyes. This is a great series. Hope they can continue it somehoa

Sadly, Gary Bimonte passed away today. May he rest in peace. "It is with deep and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our brother, Gary Bimonte. Gary was a wonderful brother, son, uncle, and friend to so many, and he was loved by all of us. Gary was the pride and joy of the Pepe’s family, and there are no words to express the immense void that his passing has left in our hearts. He truly loved and cherished our family’s history, and he was so proud of the legacy that has carried through all these years. Gary was incredibly grateful for all of the happiness that our family brought to so many people through our love of pizza, and he really embodied the heritage and tradition that Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana is known for today. He will be terribly missed by so many people. The family is requesting privacy during this time of grieving." -Frank Pepe's Website

Billy's doughnut joke was pretty funny

I went to college in New Haven and had my 21st birthday at Pepes.The pizza came out with 21 candles on it and everyone sang happy birthday to me.Great pizza and a great memory.

This show getting cancelled is a tragedy. Best thing munchies had going for it.

RIP Gary 😞 That guy made a lot of pizza. Lots of love to his family!

A few years ago I was passing through New Haven on my Harley. It was fathers day. I had just left my fathers side of the family in Oklahoma a few days before. I was missing him because he had passed many years ago. I ordered my pizza. It was a 90 minute wait. I went for a ride and returned. There was no room in the restaurant. I got my pizza and a good pop and went outside. As I sat on Wooster St on Fathers Day a homeless guy came by and asked for some money. I said no. But, I will share my pizza with you. I sat and talked to Willie as I ate the best pizza we have ever had. It was as my fathers was there. Thank you Franks and Willie for a great memory.

The positive environment both in the video and comment section is remarkably refreshing.

Sadly, Helen, featured in this video, passed away this week- but she had a rich, long life at 101 years old! RIP

BRING BACK THE SHOW and GIVE FRANK A LIFETIME DEAL. WE WILL PAY FOR HIS SALARY. literally the best food storytelling on the internet

this is such a good show it doesn't feel forced and people are happy to talk about themselves no tension.

this guy is a good host

RIP Gary Bimonte, he was truly a master of the craft and he was a very lovely person

Gary did a great job running the many Pepe’s pizza locations. They own the Connecticut pizza scene (no small feat!). I thank him for the great memories with my family and friends eating at his restaurants, and my condolences to his family.

Frank Pinello is the best, what an awesome and decent guy he is.

I feel like the host really respects the art of making pizza. Great host.

amazing how much culture there is here, would travel here just to try the pizza

Rest In Peace Gary Bimonte, !!! Pepes is the best pizza in America because of your dedication

Franky should run this freaking channel. Great host.

Thin crust, some bubbles on the cheese, some darkness on the sides. Perfect.

RIP Gary Bimonte, Apizza Legend

I revisit this video from time to time. Frank, I'm a pizza guy, and a fairly decent pizza maker. I'm fourth generation Ellis Island New York born and raised. At 21, I ended up in Connecticut, and met my wife, a lovely Italian mutt like me. I'm now 41, and I had real difficulty making the adjustment and accepting the culture here. However, I found their Italian American culture so intriguing, and their pizza so unique that I was able to build a life here. It's pretty incredible to be able to appreciate both Pizza cultures with the same respect and admiration. As Ny'ers we were told that everything we did was better and to see the humbleness, humility, passion and respect you give the love for food inspires me; you are the true Italian spirit I remember from my childhood. So, thank you Frank

Im happy that my dude Frank got his own show

Frank Pinello is my new favorite Vice personality. It started with a chef's night out, which I loved. Now it's grown to this super rad show. Dude it super chill and it's just a real humble guy that's deep into his craft. Frank's way of talking to the camera is almost as if he's talking to a homie or something.

I’m from Chicago (southside thin crust fan) but now live in Jersey but love the east pizza and need to get my ass to CT and try this. Huge fan of frank and vice for what they are doing. Cant say enough about Frank as a host. Truly good dude for sure.

this show was the best thing on youtube, so sad it got cancelled... Also very interesting when Frank is eating at 2:09 and he has Loui's Lunch at the other side of the street, the place where hamburgers where created! So much culinary history in that town.

Frank's accent is straight outta the set of some NY mafia film

This guy is a geniuinely kind human being. That sort of kindness is rare these days.

Back in 1971 my family and I , immigrants from Poland, lived above Christopher Martins at that time it was a liquor store. The very first pizza I ever had was Modern. Fifty years later I still live in the New Haven area and have eaten in all manner of pizza places in the vicinity. For what my opinion is worth..... Modern, hands down.

This is why I love people. They take something as simple as pizza so seriously, it's art and tradition all in one. They perfect it with such finesse and a ridiculous amount of attention to detail. Ahhhh, I need to go to New Haven.

They should place a warning in these videos: "Warning: don't watch when you're hungry!!!". Also love the guy presenting this he does it perfect!!

I love this show. Frank is a great host and seems like a good dude. I got so hungry watching this I just got a pie delivered for lunch.

I’m German but I used to live in Connecticut; can’t wait to head back one day, visit my hometown and head up to New Haven for a pizza tour! Thanks guys for doing a episode and making me feel a bit homesick 🔆

How could anyone dislike this video? I'm from NY like Frank, lived in New Haven area for the last 20 years...I've got to tell you; I there is something very special about New Haven Apizza...

I actually visited Frank Pepes and had the white clam pizza which shocked me, because I'm not a fan of clam but it was delicious

such a great host. love his energy

I started watching this and went to lil Caesar’s and was pretending I was eating one of these pizzas 😂😂😩

Lived in NY all my life. 1 or 2 years ago I actually had to pass through New Haven on a trip and I had watched this episode and Barstool Dave's pizza reviews in new haven. I didn't get to try Pepe's unfortunately but I did try Sally's and Modern. Sally's is still the best pizza I've ever experienced in my 36 years on this planet. Modern was very close but man Sally's was special. Their history is WELL earned and deserved.

When he was sitting eating his first apizza (at Bar) and there's Louis' Lunch in the background across the street, the birthplace of the Hamburger. New Haven should be on anyone's travel list for eating experiences.

Why do I always watch this stoned, when my wallet has flies flying out of it

Frank owns one of the best pizza parlors in ny and he's still so humble 💙

RIP Gary Bimonte. Legend

Thank you for having a show about Pizza. I fucking love Pizza.

The old dude was like Its 5 o clock time to head home no interview gonna keep me from getting home

Literally brings tears to my eyes. I live in California now but will be eating New Haven Apizza while I'm home on vacation. Cant wait to wash it down with an ice cold Birch Beer. New Haven County has some of the best food in the world. Connecticut born and raised.... and damn proud of it! Not a day goes by that someone dosent understand but this video and a couple of frozen pies from Zuppardis certainly helps! New Haven, I'll see you in a few weeks!

Hes sitting in BAR apizza at 2:17 you can look out the window & see Louis's lunch they actually created the 1st hamburger in America. Its another food tourist attraction in new haven ct.

This host is really cool, I really like his enthusiasm and he comes across as someone who genuinely really loves the subject matter. Put him on more shows!

The host reminds me of the best friend I ever had that passed away in 2008. Always sweet, always polite, happy go lucky. I hope we see more of this host!

The more i watch this Pizza Show the more i like this guy ! Frank looks like the perfect social dude, so respectful of the elders & traditions :) Really nice show

I just put New Haven on my bucket list!

"My father was a cawp" - Classic quote

Yes finally, been waiting for this. Such an Amazing show!

This is by far one of my favorite episodes of The Pizza Show.

I love this show!! Gives me such a good feeling and makes me want to visit all those places. keep up the good videos! with kind regards from Germany

This is for sure my favorite show on this channel

nice host, polite, isn't afraid to shut the fuck up and let his interviewees speak for themselves, GOOD LAD

Sad the show is gone, definitely the most entertaining youtube series I've ever watched. Love Frank and this episode.

RIP Mr. Gary Bimonte you will be missed

The best series on Munchies.

that doughnut joke was actually pretty funny

Make more of these shows please, I've watched each episode so many times - they are excellent - great host with a contagious passion for pizza and pizza people!,

I wish they made another season of the Pizza Show. Frank is the perfect host and I always come back and watch these episodes because they're so light and comfy.

It's masochism to watch this at 2am.

Frank and Bronson are what makes this channel

New subscriber, host is one of the best ever. Polite, respectful, genuine and doesn't try to hard to be something else. Huge hats off to you!

Great video. Watched several times. Great people and product!

I love when he tells cheryl of all the people he’s made pizza with that was his favorite moment in making pizza and her face just lit up! That was so cute

Glad to see that Frank is drinking a Foxon Park birch beer - a Connecticut specialty...

Love watching this series and learning about these ppl

Got rejected by Yale today, watching this video while I cry it off

Man, i just can’t stop watching these videos... They are soooo warm and real, and it makes me want to open my own pizzeria 😂 , i love Frank, i love all the owners , it’s just amazing to watch. Thank you !

Did anyone else catch the Louis Lunch in the background of the video when the guy is at the table talking at about 2:40. Arguably one of the most famous hamburger places. Birthplace of the hamburger.

Frank does a great job with this show. I love it. Keep up the good work Frank.

I love New Haven Apizza. I also love how at @2:13 you are across from the best burger I've ever had at Louis lunch. The original burger joint. So much great original food in a small area!

Pizza is love. Pizza is life.

Man those are some good looking pie's.

this is one of the most comforting videos I've ever watched. thank you

Love it when Frank tried to put back the chairs from where they suppose to be, very respectful.

Episode 3 coming out in 2017

You know this is The Pizza Show when Louis' Lunch in the background is completely and utterly ignored.

RIP Gary. You will always be missed. Great episode. Elm City 4 LIFE!!!!

Great show. I can't stop watching!!

I am from New Haven, this brings back many memories.

Who's on a diet, watching this, and starving like hell? xD

On the bucket for this year. Apizza addiction is born

Great video! Thanks to Goldbelly, I have some Zuppardi's in my freezer right now. I've had a couple of them already. Really good. Someday, I'll get it fresh and in-person.

The clam pizza gets a lot of attention because it's a New Haven specialty, and it's done beautifully, no question. The garlic, the delicate balance of the flavors and textures, letting the quality of the no tomatoes and olive oil and the exquisite texture of the crust shine through - it's a knockout. But for me, the litmus test is the Margherita, and I think that Pepe's makes the best in the country, authentically Napolitano, but subtly tweaked with a rough hewn and natural but even distribution of ingredients, and most importantly, made with the anthracite coal fire: even flame, no smoke, just perfect. The crust is perfect: the right amount of chew and crisp. And call it sacrilegious, but I have it with bacon - it's perfectly unctuous and chewy and thin, and adds a bit of creamy, smoky, substantial protein - damn, it's just perfect. Even in the West Hartford location. Long live Pepe's! (P. S. I just had one last night - it's always perfect. What a glorious memory...)

This show is awesome!! Host is excellent, locations are interesting, and the crew is doing a great job! More pizza show please!

Brilliant show. I remember catching this episode years ago on tv.

what a heart warmful series!! thanks!

Of course I'm watching this at 2am. Why do I torture myself like this?

I've been to italy and the pizza is made the same way. Thin, light toppings, with that lovely crust

Thankfully, I live in NYC - so, my ride to New Haven won't be that bad as Frank Pepe's is now on my bucket list. Can't wait.

Right across from where he’s sitting, at the first place is a joint called Louis lunch, they invented the hamburger.

Watching this at 2 am. I regret everything.

_"Yoosa gunna enjoy dis one"_

I swear by coal ovens. I built a coal fired oven in my backyard just to make pizza. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, like a coal fired oven.

This is by far my favorite show from Munchies, and Vice for that matter. Wish more shows would come across as genuine like this show does. Such a good host
