The Perfect New York Slice with Frank Pinello and Michael Imperioli | Pizza Wars
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июн 2021
- In New York City, pizza isn't just food, it's a way of life. But which iconic NY-style dish reigns supreme: the Sicilian square or the classic round pie? In the series premiere of Pizza Wars, host Nicole Russell faces off against Best Pizza's Frank Pinello to find out which slice is the true king of New York. And who better to judge the event than legendary actor and pizza obsessive Michael Imperioli? Tune in to find out if Nicole’s thin and crispy round pie is enough to beat out a “secret weapon” Frank picked up from nonna.

Frank is just a fuckin real dude, his vibe is always great and he gets along with everyone
Not a fake bone in his body. His positivity is inspiring.
best dude around, man..
OG Frank! Positive dude.
He's a true OG in the pizza game
Took a couple years but I finally made it to best pizza and of course it didn’t disappoint! The white slice they serve is outstanding! And I got the shirt! Frank is a legend! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
It's strange seeing Frank as a contestant rather than just being the humblest interviewer interviewing a thousand pizza owners, damn miss pizza show
Facts.
Yeah, why is the pizza show removed from youtube? At least I can't see it where I'm from :((
@@tidalwave1959 weirddd 🤔 if you have crave it's all on the vice channel
@@ryephil what's crave?
@@ryephil I can find the Playlist on RUclips, but when I want to play it, it says it's not available in my country (Norway)
I'm stunned that Frank is not one of the country's best-known celebrity chefs yet. The Pizza Show may be the best thing on RUclips.
Thats where I know him from! I was killing myself trying to figure out why his name sounded so damn familiar
Fr man
If we ever get another Scorcese gangster movie, we need a Frank cameo.
It wouldn’t make sense lol frank is too nice he doesn’t have that kind of personality
where the soft drink of choice tho?
@@tony_fanta up
@@bingevintage8124 Perfect to contrast Scorsese's usual grittiness
@@nairocamilo wouldn’t work
Idk how anyone can dislike Frank, also his nonnas name is Paulie
But lets be real, Frank be bussin with the weight
Pasqualina
You hear what I said tone? I said "idk how anyone can dislike Frank" hehehehehe
What can I say? He’s not a made guy.
facts dude he’s the man
PIZZA WARS IS HERE! THANK YOU, NONNA!
𝙃𝙞
Yeah those pies looked 🔥🔥
Many thanks Nonna!
Y'all better get Ryon Webber from Pie for the People up in here. If you don't you doing yourself a severe disservice.
Yo, Pinello's getting fat. Time to get in the gym and work off all those carbs paisá
Frank dropped that Goodfellas reference and no one blinked an eye, damn (pro-tip: garlic doesn't liquify in the pan no matter how thin you slice it)
You can sweat it though.
I think he was meant to say the anchovies liquify
@@s4j1m in the movie they say that the garlic is sliced so thin it actually melts into the sauce. that's the reference.
HE blinked an eye. Jesus
Shoyuuiikkk
I wish food network shows were like this. People being friendly and no stock negative comments from the judge. If there’s something to critique that’s fine, but on food network shows they’re forced to say negative comments no matter what. People here just celebrating food instead of creating some bullsh*t drama. Love it.
IMO if you want the "judging" to be genuine, they shouldn't know who prepared what. Let the food speak for itself. When you buy pizza in the "wild" you don't get a "story" with it. Let the story come during the build, but not during the judging. If Nanna's way is truly good, it'll show without them knowing. Other than that... I'm starving now. Both looked mouthwatering.
My haters throw rocks at me and IT hurts. I hope they don't throw The Rock at me because I like him as an actor. GAGAGAGAGA!!! I am funny!!! I am the funniest RUclipsr EVAH! Please agree, dear ls
"In the wild" 😂 brilliant!
I do think it would be a little easy to tell who’s pizza it is considering Frank’s style of cooking classic Sicilian style pizza
@@voxeil I’m talking about all future episodes from here on out.
I think this show is mostly about the guests and pizza comes second I’m okay with the format as long as they keep bringing good guests
Frank really won fair and "square"! Ha! Doing a show with Frank Pinello is truly a win for me. Congrats Frank! Thanks for watching! See you guys next week on PIZZA WARS!
I maybe biased but when you got that glow…. 😉 Glad to see you do your thing Nicole! That sicilian slice do look good, I’m actually a middle slice guy 😀. The real question is does Michael I, know who’s the master?!
@@leeroygreene85 Sho nuff
No shame in losing to this guy, the fact that you're on the same playing field as him Is a sign of your greatness.
spoilers!
I love the Last Dragon references
MAAAAAAN listen.... first episode and I'm already hooked. Nicole is a phenomenal cook and great on-screen, and I can't wait to see more episodes. To First We Feast: congrats on the launch of this new show.... y'all got another banger!
THANK YOU, CLIFF!
Same here.
I absolutely loved how encouraging both participants were. Most shows like this they are at each other’s throats so this was a nice change. Learned a lot! Can’t wait for the next one!
I like how it’s more of a appreciation of different styles of pizza rather than an actual competition
Exactly, what I got from it.
Yes! It has a really friendly and laid back vibe, unlike a lot of other cooking competition shows.
@@JakeLovesSteak it’s probably because there’s no prize or time limit. everybody gets to try each other’s dish. everybody wins
God damn this show is awful
@@screamalongsongs then ,why are you watching it
I’m glad to see frank back on RUclips, used to watch his pizza videos all the time, he’s looking healthier
did something happen to him?
Yeah what happened
Healthier? Was he sick?
Nah he just heavier
@@thisjawnswayzehope so, either way I’m glad to see him back on RUclips cause he’s genuine
"Don't do like me, do like you!"
- Nicole Russell
I think that's my new favorite cooking personality quote!!
Frank is so cool. Happy to see him again! Hes up there with Sean and Brad. Michael was great too. Looking forward to seeing more of her!
Nicole, sooorryy
This show has serious potential. Loving the concept. She has a good personality. Lots of potential for awesome challengers/guest judges. And pizza. Lot of beautiful things happening here.
Agreed, but she needs to dial it back like 10%
She talk like teenage girls, kinda annoying tbh
Well said.
@@bairdbiz I think she will. It's a new show. She's gotta find her voice still and settle in. You can definitely see YT personalities like Babish and Weissman change drastically from early episodes to later. Think she will too, but even if she doesn't, pretty good host.
Yeah that wasn't nonna's trick, that was Paulie's from Goodfellas
Right!
@@karl_farbman81 I only put 3 small onions. That's all I put in there!
It's also not true. It doesn't matter how thin you slice garlic, it stays solid.
@@Levi_Skardsen He also clearly sliced it really thick...
@@Levi_Skardsen yeah it doesnt really liquify but I still think it’s true because Goodfellas said so
"Take that shit outside! Don't disrespect the pizza parlour!"
i love the energy, the vibe, the whole show. no negative comments or competitiveness from either side-just pure happiness and support. great show.
You have to love a competition show that revels in mutual appreciation. True artists loving each others' work is so wholesome.
Better then any cooking shows. No shouting no stress. Straight resepct
Need to see Mind of a Chef
I love how supportive they always are with each other on this show. Sure, it's a competition, but they are always so proud of each other's accomplishments. It reminds me of running track and cross country in a small state and small conference in college. Sure, we wanted to do our best and win, but we would always become friends with and be proud of our competition.
Such a wholesome Episode! Everyone is so kind and loving it really warmed my heart
These two are killin’ it. Love the personality combo. The pizza looks crazy good too.
I love that we don't have the BS chest-puffing that similar types of shows lean on. I ain't watching for tattooed culinary students to talk smack into camera. I'm watching mostly, I love FWF, but also I love food. Focusing on food and love is a huge W
Totally agree the positivity and respect for each other is what I want to see
I love love love seeing two chefs being supportive of each other. Thats how it should be.
Yo they're all really likable. This gonna be a good show.
Such good vibes through this. Genuinely love passionate people doing and sharing their thing. Bravo.
1/2 comments : "I'm too blind to notice the massive wink before Frank joked his "nonna" gave him that garlic tip
Other 1/2: "I'm gonna shit on how he looks"
I like how New York is so inclusive that it's ok to call your pizza NY style as long as it's good.
Frank needs his own channel. Such a cool guy.
I want a round from Nicole’s kitchen every day of my life! Omg she knocked that out of the park. Her pizzas look AMAZING and she has so much passion for her art that it’s intoxicating! I’m drooling over this upload!
Well said.
@I care Absolutely beautiful.
Yep, she's adorable. Perfect personality for this show. Can't wait to see more.
@@JakeLovesSteak Agreed!
It's wholesome, it's energetic, it's pizza - I love it.
Is Frank hosting anything anywhere these days? He’s such a guy. I miss seeing him in the RUclips space
He’s hosting nightly buffet’s at his house for sure
Its refreshing how they throw compliments at each other... what a change
As a Long Islander this was amazing to watch.
Frank has always had the making of a varsity athlete
Had a rough week but watching these two just made me feel brand new - thanks y’all :)
I was so excited for this show and it lived up to the hype so far...I love her vibe and I love the friendly competition feel to it!
Michael didn't seem to pick up on Frank's Goodfellas reference.
You could tell Frank was waiting all day to say that and Michael was like whatever lemme eat. I feel so bad too cause it was a great reference!
What's your pick: Round pie or Sicilian?
Lets be real, grandma wins always.
Depends
grandma
I wanted both, so I compromised. Ate grilled cheese off the radiator instead.
Burger
These two are so adorable and wholesome. I love their energy. I want to see moooooore.
Watching this in 2022. Been watching Frank for years, so humble and genuine. Would love to share a meal with him.
Gets the razor blade out, still cuts the garlic thicc :D That aside, I could listen to Frank talk pizza all year long.
Chrissy still gets soft drink of choice. He’s from the old school, shouldn’t have to explain himself.
Charles schwab over here
Loving this new show so far! Really enjoy all the new stuff on first we feast
My God, the beats you all played in the video were amazing
Frank’s the GOAT!
MY BOY finally looking like a real pizza man now.
First We Feast is doing an amazing job capturing the virality of their hits and retaining an audience for their other stuff.
This is why this Show has made such an impact in its debut season: it's about legacy, skill and magical storytelling.
Pizza Wars is a WIN-WIN-WIN!!!

"Did you like the slice?"
"I DID-DENT!"
As a Californian who has never visited NY, I'm always jealous of your guys' pizza selections and how awesome they look. There is a little mom and pop place that I visit that has NY style pizza, but I feel like it likely doesn't hold a candle to legit NY pizza (it's still delicious though, so maybe it's just as good as the real deal thing).
With that said, this seems like a real fun series, and I can't wait to see what comes in the future (including our boy Babish as a judge).
I'm sure that local place is pretty decent, since most of them are. But you are correct in that getting a pizza from NYC area will be a whole different experience.
I've never found a decent slice in California. No idea how it gets fucked up so badly so consistently
I love this series informative and entertaining great chemistry between them
These two are a breath of fresh air to me. Frank is always a gentleman as we know and Nicole is just awesome! Wish you both nothing but love and happiness!
Any time you have Frank on it’s a win! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched his old pizza show!
Seeing Frank back on the screen after this past year of shit, all I can say is I’m even more in love with him now. He’s the realist person on earth and I hope he’s not been down on himself because I don’t think a single person watching this doesn’t still think he’s not only the best/kindest/most lovable pizza maker and host on this planet, but he’s sexy af.
This about to be my new favorite show on FWF. Love the realness in the episode. Y'all kept it 💯
Respect!
I remember trying Sicilian Pizza for the first time. It's the best pizza I've ever tried, and I'm watering in my mouth now.
Frank Pinello reminds me a lot of Jackie Aprile Jr. from The Sopranos. "I'm gonna make this bomb-ass pizza for Chris Moltisanti that he can't refuse... outta respect for my fahduh."
Love 'the stance' so much! She is just wonderful 😍
Great personality right??
I'm 100% going for a slice or 2 today now! This is awesome love it! 👌
I just finished rewatching Sopranos and you guys bring Chris Moltisanti back to life for a few slices, I'm hooked!
My boy Frankie P. put on the quarantine 15
Who the hell didnt?
This is the 1st time I'm watching pizza wars I'm liking it
Well, this IS the first episode (outside of the trailer they dropped a week or two ago), so we're all in the first timers club. :)
the fact that micheal imperioli even agreed to do this moves volumes and levels. pizza is good to enjoy so yes i understand, though much so aside that, hes a visionary, writer and also a good director as well.
Love the respect all the pizzaiolos have for each other. Like they may all make it a different way and with their own touch and everyone likes it like that, there's not much "oh mine's way better than theirs." You love to see it
Frank was playing chess trying to hit the judge's nostalgia
There was some serious 'greasing' of the judge going on.
They guest judge shouldn’t know who made which pizza to avoid bias picks like this.
Love it, want to try them both. Be blessed and stay safe.
I appreciate the positive vibes coming from this show.
I'm somewhat of a expert myself. * puts extra cheese on a fresheta frozen pizza *
Same here. Didn't burn my Bagel Bites this morning.
I like Fresheta to be honest. If you cook it on a pizza stone it's a good chew.
Hey if you pimp out those pizzas they kick ass. Throw some extra pepperoni on there, and some bacon bits, and you have a fancy frozen pizza
Hey that's the guy from The Sopranos! And there's also Michael Imperioli!
Loved this! So excited for all the pizza that’s gonna come our way!
Loved these two together! Great chemistry on camera 👏🏾
Frank is always so damn nice and genuine!
How's the positive visualization coming along, Christopher?
I'm just seeing that wheel of cheese on the shelf...man!
I love how both of these are so different, but so well done. Great personalities all around too!
I absolutely Love this show, wow keep them coming!!!!
I see Frank I Click Like and watch.
The content we need but don’t deserve
First We Feast doesn't miss. Every show is a banger and this is no exception. Can't wait for more Pizza Wars!
Proud to say I know both of these people. Hi Frank and Nichole!! Great video. Really well done!!!
Ya, no way she was beating Franky :p And of course there is no way she's beating Frank's bud Mark of Lucali but she does good stuff for sure.
Great show, great host. I'm having pizza for lunch, you ruined my diet!
Lmao same🤣🥰
I'd be happy with either slice...they look fabulous! I can't wait to see what's next!
Love the premise and the show! She's great and def looks like yall got the right people to represent the pizza peeps. Blind testing is a great idea for season 2.
Frank picked up that Covid pizza weight,your not alone bud we all did
It’s you’re not alone, not your. But you’re not alone, bud.

@@jabbasnutsack annnnnnnnnd no one cares!
@@turkishdelight600 Except you!
I see Franky boy has been enjoying the pies eh lol
He is working towards that authentic Pizzaiolo look
This comment doesn’t really help anyone though does it. Should try spread positivity. Sometimes better to say nothing
@@JamieB67 Stop being snowlfake, he is getting fat, nothing insulting, just a fact.
@@JamieB67 We really say it because we care for Franky boy
@@JamieB67 You have a weak mindset.
A cooking challenge show with actual ingredients the cooks/chefs use, and no fake drama or time limits to drive you crazy. This is the cooking show I've been waiting for.
This was awesome and Nicole is going places! Can't wait for more episodes!
And who doesn't love Frank? absolute legend in the pizza game and I miss his show so much.
Another hit from First We Feast
"hits different"
"corner girl"
"booty shot"
"hella expensive"
I fucking love this host lol, this gonna be a great show FWF, good job.
But not that type of corner girl...
Ok did Frank's Nonna get the garlic trick from Good Fellas or vice versa
Neither. Frank got it from Goodfellas. It's not a real trick. Garlic burns. It doesn't liquify.
@@brycewalburn3926 you're not slicing it thin enough newb
@@driesmertens2744 well it didn’t liquify when your mate did it
I love the super friendly competition. They obviously both love pizza no matter the form.
anytime I see Frank on a thumbnail for a video oh I'm clicking ...!!! he's most likeable guy on this earth love his attitude and he is always so respectful when speaking to others. Love you Frank ..!!!
The double take on hella expensive is a fact
Chrissy always had the makings of a varsity pizza eater.
That’s not his name. Grow up.
@@elbob17 welcome to the internet.
@@elbob17 It's a joke. Grow up.
Amazing Chef's !!! Thank you for sharing ! I LOVE PIZZA !!!
I'm Sicilian and grew up on Sicilian pizza. Love it. Loving the camo apron, I'm retired Army and have an apron that says Grill Sergeant. Love this
