Throughout this season, the Last Dragon Pizza founder will enlist her friends Frank Pinello (Best Pizza) and Josephine Giordano (Lenny's Pizza) to help take her skills to the next level. On the Season 2 premiere, Frank and Jo challenge Nicole to master one of the world's most traditional pizza styles: Neapolitan-style fried pizza. Will Nicole's pizza fritta beat out master pizzaiola Giorgia Caporuscio and her classic montanara pie? Tune into the season premiere of Pizza Wars and find out!
    Special thank you to Naples field producer Tony Mastroianni.

    Thanks for sharing! I can see how you’re still changing the format around, but here’s a little friendly feedback if you’re interested: Nicole should 100% be in the shoes of “host” and not the judges. The dynamic was just a little weird with “we have challenges for you” and feel as if instead they should be in the role of. “I’m so happy to be here. I can’t wait to taste what you make.”. Nicole as host would be the one saying “this is the challenge for today. I can’t wait for you to taste it.”, plus the blind tasting is 100% perfect. Food for thought but overall happy to have pizza wars back.

      For real. That lady judge's accent is on another level. I was born and grew up in Morningside Heights and always felt that Brooklyn accent was a crazy caricature cause I didn't have it around me, until I met my father in law. Born in Brooklyn to Italian immigrants. We talking bout he could be the judge's father for sure. My wife was born in Queens and her mother is Polish so she doesn't have that heavy accent which I thank god for.

    Always loved pizza wars, but the small changes to the program are making the show so much better

    Aren't they supposed to be going solely off of taste? I'm confused. Why does it matter whether one feels more traditional than the other?

      Because it's a pizza test. It's not a calzone or casserole test. The guest can be polite and all that but it is what it is.

    You need to check out any classic pizza place in Windsor Ontario. I'm telling you, Windsor pizza is a breed of its own.
