@@namleist So you've never dipped a slice of pizza ever? Every school I've ever attended,each student on pizza day would dip their slices with ranch,BBQ sauce or hot sauce.
In my experience calzones are easier to mess up. Sometimes the bread to filling ratio is off or the bread is overcooked. Most bad pizza is still OK. If it's between a great slice and a great calzone I'll pick calzones every day.
Essential flavor component of browned crusty cheese is missing on a calzone, and as others have said, double the carbs. The solution, NYC already knows, you take a big slice and you fold it. No fuss, no mess, complete flavor profile. Badda bing bby
Michael Richards really was the king of physical comedy. Bar none. His movements were so deliberate and he was consistent with it every second he’s on screen.
The tie in of Kramer drying his clothes before wearing them, therefore having tons of change, rainy weather canceling Newman's mail route, rain/change/pizza oven, smells like a calzone. Incredible writing.
Steinbrenner just straight up takes a chunk out of George's calzone, no hesitation! Well, it is a sign of trust... at least it's no double dipping or eating out of the tras... the "hovering" trash. Like an angel.
I always found it funny how the Steinbrenner actor shifts around in his chair while Larry David's saying, "Excellent, excellent little calzone you got there, Costanza!"
Why not just drop the tip in the jar and move along? Why should I leave it on the counter? Just say to the person, "u were fantastic. You deserve this." Drop the money in the jar. Move along with your life

Please. I swear on my mother's life I wasn't stealing your tip. The last two times I've thrown in a tip you didn't see, and it made me feel weird.

“The pita pocket prevents it from dripping, the pita pocket!!!” That line cracks me up no idea why
Its very relatable when you become obsessed with something you start praising the tiniest details.
And the delivery of the line makes it even more funny with Larry David saying it.
“Excellent little Calzone you got there Costanza, little jealous here.” 😂😅
George’s comment about only tipping with coins to the blind was down low genius writing
"Not bills" should have gotten a bigger laugh from the studio audience and the laugh track; it's very funny. And very George.

A tip for what? Doing his job?
“Big Stein wants and eggplant calzone! He must have one!” Literally me anytime anyone mentions any kind of food.
Kramer bringing up how Newman called out sick cause its raining is amazing continuity
I wish that scene at Newman's about the rain and "I never believed in creeds" was included here. Funny dialogue exchange there.

Never put the tip in the bucket, leave on counter, tap the counter 3 times and say "for you, thank you".... never put in a bucket.

Gently whisper in the servers ear "here's a tip, get a real job."
