It’s something people do in other videos where they test/review products. I don’t know the exact reasoning behind it, maybe it has to do with keeping things in focus when displaying them on camera? I always assumed he was mocking that and I get a kick out of it whenever he does it lol
2010s RUclips video with bad cameras that don’t focus well and they put their hand behind the item to make the camera lens focus on the hand. Now that we’re in 4K era, it’s no longer is an issue.
I'm not a huge sauce fan either. Has to be a certain amount for me. I love Za but I am very picky about it and if I have to get it from somewhere, you better believe it should have options. If I have to get the hut, I guess. Cici Pizza or Casey's pizza, toppers pizza, I really like a margarita pizza with cauliflower crust, yummy
I’m already a sub, start singing! I like Pizza Hut and I love their sauce. Just imagining Nick working in food service, it being flooded, his female manager is a come dumpster and no AC is like the twilight zone 😂
The reading program you're talking about was Book It. My school participated in it, and I admit, I lied a few times about the number of books I read just so I could get my free pizza. 😆😋
Our region had paired with Pizza Hut for the Accelerated Reader Program. Not sure if it was called Book It, although I mostly excited to read books and eat pizza, so I didn't care what it was called.
I don't know who in the crew Matteo, Bob etc, if anyone got you to start uploading, I'm just happy you do. You are a joy to listen to and watch. I feel you serve your most authentic person possible while still making videos.❤
Haven't been to Pizza Hut in 30 years after my boyfriend broke up with me in one of their restaurants when I was 17. I don't even know why I avoided PH, the guy wasn't that great, so no traumatic experience there... Must be something subliminal but I feel healed now! Thanks.
In NYC, we didn’t go to Pizza Hut often because there’s pizza literally everywhere, but I do remember the big red plastic cups with the crushed ice (the best ice) and the fake “Tiffany” lamps felt kinda fancy to my child brain.
By some stroke of luck, every time I get bad news lately, a Nick Smith vid magically appears to heal my weary soul. The bad news part is for sure dulling my reactions, but the joy from seeing that lovely face is not diminished. Thanks for another upload, ya little cutie 😘
Awesome video, Nick! That’s funny about the dipping sauce, I never use it either! After my mom died (years ago) my dad and I went to our local Pizza Hut so often that it got to the point where they would see us, throw our order in, let us seat ourselves, and our food was on the table fast. My sister was mortified when she came to visit “how often do you guys come here!!?? 😱🤦♂️” 🤣🤣🤷♂️
This episode could be called "Let's Watch Nick Carb-load"! Nick, you absolutely cracked me up with that flooded Pizza Hut story! That's a classic! 🤣😂🤣😂
@@NickSmith09 I believe you. And just yesterday as I was driving through a small town here in Ohio, I noticed that the local Pizza Hut had closed since the last time I passed through. In giant letters in the front window were the words, "Good Bye Pizza Hut!" It left me feeling kind of sad.
As a fellow former employee, I salute you. We were in a blizzard, no electricity as I sat, swinging my legs from the cut table, waiting for the owner to call from Europe to tell me we could close. Best times of my life. I remember when we went from fresh pan to frozen discs. Also fresh to frozen veggies. Ah, the good times. 😊
Nick, you bloody legend. Please never stop making videos. I've been working my way through everything on your channel and can't remember when I've laughed so much. And Pizza Hut is the bomb🍕
I worked there too as a teenager and we always got a personal pan on our shift, and I would stretch mine out to make like a large size thin crust so I got more!! #staffhacks
Lol love Nick’s food videos ( be they creating food…😅) or eating things with either joy or drama or both…😂😂😂. You’d think he’d be an Uber vegan Whole Foodie caviar person, but NOPE! Never thought a video on Pizza Hut would be so funny
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. You should definitely do more story time type videos it was hilarious to see you laughing at your own story and judging food.
This video takes me back. I worked for Pizza Hut at their national call center back in the early 90s. We only had pizza, salad and soda on the menu. 😹😹😹😹
I got my first job in retail when I was 17. The manager was REALLY sexist (as were most of my managers - shout out to the early 2000s) and he told me he figured I'd be bored with anything too technical because it's not related to fashion (???). Then he asked me to go to the hardware store and ask about "grease nipples" because he said I had to learn how they worked as part of the job. I fell for this, of course. The dude at the hardware store laughed at me and asked if (manager's name) had sent me, because this is what he does to "all the girls who work for him." 🤮
Mmmm pizza hut breadsticks! So so good! I did that reading program when I was in school too! That's the only way I'd read over the summer! 😂 Thank you for sharing some fun stories and your thoughts on how the food is now. Love you Nick! ❤
Your taste test videos are the best! Your reactions are real, and I love your comments, facial expressions and stories. Please keep making these videos whether it's holiday candies, local restaurants or Olive Garden.
Kids Reading Club All-Star!!! You had to read a certain number of books to get a free personal pizza. LOVED!!! 💝💖💝💖 I LOVE PIZZA HUT!! Nick is just classy AF.
Love this vid bc not only is it fun times with fan-fav Nick, it’s also a subtle but real statement that who you are matters, and you can be a fabulous glamazon doing whatever honest work you need to get by financially- it’s nothing to be ashamed of and can result in comedy. So refreshing compared to the “perfect life influencers” who appear to awaken in the morning with the birds, mediate for an hour, do yoga for an hour, journal for an hour etc etc etc. Yea for making the real world just a little more fun :)
Mr Nick...you are a funny bastard and would definitely hang out with you! In high school and a while after, many times my friends and I would take our dates to our local Pizza Hut dining room. To us it was foo foo. Also had a great jukebox and refillable plastic drink tumblers which also brought back memories. Cheers from Michigan!!
adding some cheesecloth or greaseproof paper in front of your light would soften it a bit, further away from the light the softer it'll be, nice blend of stories and food review, reminds me a little bit of report of the week/reviewbrah
Another terrific video Nick! I can't imagine you under the pressure of a busy restaurant dinner shift! It must have been fun to watch you handle all the crazy customers!! I'm a fan of Pizza Hut as well but don't have it often! I just hate when the food loses some of it's crispiness because it's been in the box for more than 5 minutes...then it turns to rubber.😘😺🍕
@@NickSmith09 I used to love it when I was in highschool but it was the only option at the time. They tore it down, too. Now, the sleepy little town is full of fancy restaurants and you couldn't find pizza there that didn't come out of a wood fired oven
Hi Nick, if you were my server when I went to Pizza Hut, it would literally would make my day. Love watching your videos, no matter the subject matter. Always entertaining.
Cant wait to see you sing Nick. Loved the italian music in the background. I use to love Pizza Hut. Rhe pizza crust has changed....a lot. I dont dip bread sticks in marinara. Watching this as I make a crispy breakfast quesidilla. 😂😂😂 Forgot to say your stories were great!
I used to love the Pizza Hut meal for two when there were dine-ins. I miss that it’s no longer available. I was highly motivated by the school reading program for a personal pan.
My go to when I worked a Pizza Hut was a personal pan & boneless wings (before they changed sauces). I was hired on the spot & worked my first day in my interview outfit with heels. 😅
The background music is perfect! LOL! I'm with you, the marinara is not good. It's got enough salt in it for an entire city. Loved the stories, I worked in food service for a few years and it was certainly... educational. Now i want pizza.
Love this Nick! With that microphone, you're actually supposed to talk into the side of that mic, so it will sound a little better if you tilt it slightly back and keep it about 6 inches away from you. It's also distorting at times so you need to turn down the input volume in your computer settings. Keep up the A+ content
Nick , My kids would read books for school to get their coupon book stamped by their Teacher , they would get a free personal pan pizza . One yr Pizza Hut did a offer if the kids read a certain amount of books they got a free basketball , lol my kids had like 10 basketballs ( I have 3 kids ) . I love how you hold your hand up to show things you are so precious . Love Grandma Anita
Our Pizza Hut in Odessa, Missouri is still in it's original 1978 building. They are quite good, I think their thin crust.. nice and crispy! I love pizza hut's sauce. It's pefect.
I also worked at PH in college. I don't like sauce either. Have you ever had a no-sauce pizza? Baked light! Nick, you are such a bright spot in my day. Don't change anything, especially your clothes.
Your tales of working there make it sound like it might have been pure chaos at times, but ultimately a really fun working environment, especially when you were just 19 (Baby Nick!) ❤
When you do these food reviews, it makes me want to see a collab of you and ReportOfTheWeek. I think it would be so awkward and just generally not good but in the best way. I personally would die
The p'zone. I wonder if Nick was working there when the calzone was still on the menu. And the Hershey dunkers. P'zone and dunkers. Best combo as a kid. Those books made it worth it
How are there not way more Matteo followers subscribing??? That's how I found you and now I always watch everything you guys post together. You need to tell Matteo to get his followers on your channel!!! (And Lizzo too, ha ha!!)
I can't believe he's going to eat all that. He says he only eats Mac and cheese. I remember growing up we would dine at Pizza Hut. They had booths and a jukebox. Fun times!
Nick being a whole ass skeleton saying he misses his metabolism is hilarious 😂
💀 ☠️ 💀
I know. I couldn't be _more_ jealous! It's like when girls skinnier than me complain _to me_ that that they need to lose weight.
STOP BRAGGING NICK!!!
Somewhere Matteo is screaming at his screen with this Italian themed music in the background associated with Pizza Hut hahaha😂
😂😂
Litterly, I was gonna type this!!! 😂
Oh you know he is
@@dougslaback3459 You know Nick did that JUST to irritate Matteo! 😂
But if it _was_ a coincidence I'd say Matteo's totally right to be annoyed. 🤔
It kills me everytime Nick puts his hand behind what he shows to the camera. I dont know where he got the habit from but i crack up every time lol.
IKR? It's so funny and I don't know why

The thing is, though… I don’t think… he’s… mocking it… I think he’s doing it sincerely. Which pleases me even more. #nickheadlore
Oh no too many carbs but it making me hungry 😂❤
This dark desolate room with this Italian music playing in the background as you eat Pizza Hut is literally Italian hell, and I find it hilarious. 😂😂
I think I can hear my ex crying in the background
And just like that, my Tuesday suddenly got better. 🍕😂👏
100%. Nick is a treasure. ❤❤
Shout out to Veronica and Sherry working that buffet lunch and daring anyone else to try and take those shifts!
Oh they had it on lock.
I’ve done it wouldn’t recommend it
"Joeeee... 🤷♀️ He's right!"
'Sarah' sounds like an absolute queen 😂
When Nick puts a hand behind the whole box 😂😂😂😂😂. I literally can't get enough of that 😂😂😂😂
Nick not being a sauce fan is perhaps the least surprising reveal of this entire video 😂
I'm not a huge sauce fan either. Has to be a certain amount for me. I love Za but I am very picky about it and if I have to get it from somewhere, you better believe it should have options.
If I have to get the hut, I guess. Cici Pizza or Casey's pizza, toppers pizza, I really like a margarita pizza with cauliflower crust, yummy
I fucking love Nick and am wildly joyous that he has his own channel 🎉❤
❤️
Your star is rising dear🙏 Love hearing your anecdotes 💙
Agreed! I love these videos.
❤️
The close up on Nick's face at 3:00... Stop I'm dead
I’m already a sub, start singing! I like Pizza Hut and I love their sauce. Just imagining Nick working in food service, it being flooded, his female manager is a come dumpster and no AC is like the twilight zone 😂
It FELT like a twilight zone
I LOVE how much Nick loves Pizza Hut. Really enjoyed the stories of Nick's days at Pizza Hut! 🤣
The reading program you're talking about was Book It. My school participated in it, and I admit, I lied a few times about the number of books I read just so I could get my free pizza. 😆😋
I was the nerd that was mad because you were limited to how many you could get every month. I read ALL the books 😂
I used to give those Book it! coupons out when I was teaching in the late '90s. Kids loved it.
Our region had paired with Pizza Hut for the Accelerated Reader Program. Not sure if it was called Book It, although I mostly excited to read books and eat pizza, so I didn't care what it was called.
“It tastes like childhood.” ❤️❤️❤️ I felt that in my soul

Haven't been to Pizza Hut in 30 years after my boyfriend broke up with me in one of their restaurants when I was 17. I don't even know why I avoided PH, the guy wasn't that great, so no traumatic experience there... Must be something subliminal but I feel healed now! Thanks.
You should go back!
In NYC, we didn’t go to Pizza Hut often because there’s pizza literally everywhere, but I do remember the big red plastic cups with the crushed ice (the best ice) and the fake “Tiffany” lamps felt kinda fancy to my child brain.
😂
Pizza Hut and Bookit! were a big part of my childhood.
That does bring back hella memories!

SHE SAID WHAT!?!? I woulda walked out after Joe said that about Sarah. 🤣🤣🤣
Oh I was hooked immediately, I knew I had to stick around to learn more about these people😂
"cops were called on employees" lol there goes that sponsorship
I'll have to tell those stories too!
I love all of your content! More stories please!

The way I would beg for the those little personal pan pizzas should be a crime. Damnit now I want one 😂.
Book It!! I remember that!! Great video Nick!
Yes!! I couldn't think of the name!
I love anything Nick does 🥰. He wants his old metabolism back 😂😂😂, he’s a bean pole. Hilarious. 🤣
I love to watch Nick laugh at his own stories
Every time your video comes up I think "I needed this" 😁😍

Nick, you're a gem. Love you so much. Hand behind the cinnistick box 🥖✋😂 Please do a mukbang with Matteo. An Olive Garden mukbang.
Memory unlocked, those lights that Pizza Hut used to have, and reading for the personal pan pizza? Good times
Lol! Nick and his metabolism in "Hut Mukbang." I'd watch that in a hut minute!

I have so many stories!
Haha it was fun hearing all these stories before sleep, thank you for the video!
The clapper board!!!! Nick, you crack me up!
All I’m thinking is that Matteo would be horrified to see this “food”. It almost all looks the same. 😂 and I’m saying that is a good thing.

Omg, eating pizza hut and still so funny.
Still my favorite youtuber ever!!

The p'zone. I wonder if Nick was working there when the calzone was still on the menu. And the Hershey dunkers. P'zone and dunkers. Best combo as a kid. Those books made it worth it
My secret love is Pizza Hut. I know its trash but i love it. When they use to be in Target, i would always buy a 3pk of breadsticks. ❤❤
Our Pizza Hut flooded, too, you would think they'd shut it down after that but it became a Thai restaurant.
We need you to review the pizza 🍕 and chicken bake at the Costco food court, my grandsons favorite! I’m sure you will love it 😊
I've never been to a Costco!
The bigger personal pan was the "big topper". Where you around for six cheese pizza? Remember Priazzos? Calitzas?
How are there not way more Matteo followers subscribing??? That's how I found you and now I always watch everything you guys post together. You need to tell Matteo to get his followers on your channel!!! (And Lizzo too, ha ha!!)

I loved their cheese calitza from many years ago 😉
I can't believe he's going to eat all that. He says he only eats Mac and cheese. I remember growing up we would dine at Pizza Hut. They had booths and a jukebox. Fun times!
Im the same! No dipping sauce, except garlic butter sauce once in while
Good choice
