I'm so proud of what you guys are doing. Keep it up PLEASE. Grazie mille!
I love this
Love Frank . Hope he's well!
This is the most mexican looking italian 🇮🇹
Frank Pinello is the goat. One of the best representations of Italian Americans in media
I love this guy ❤ Such a great story teller
Been watching Frank for years, and I'm especially happy he gave a shout out to Collucio & Sons located in Boro Park Brooklyn. At this time of year, THAT store is an absolute must. The family there are so nice, and the store is nothing short of awesome. As a Bronxite, yes we have Arthur Avenue, but Colluccio is next level. (Colluccio is like a Teitel Brothers times two). Their Calabrian roots can be seen by some of the stuff on the shelves. Their gift baskets that they custom design are AWESOME and can make a great Christmas gift for someone. This must sound like a shameless plug, but for some people this could be an awesome visit in the making, or a great idea for a Christmas gift. Changing subjects a bit, Pizzeria LaRosa in New Rochelle (in the old Modern Restaurant space IIRC) is excellent pizza and is a pizzeria with Sicilian influence noted by the foods on its menu. Another not to be missed stop thanks to Frank. Buon Natale a tutti.
Best Pizza.. more like "Mehh 😕 Pizza"
His Pizza sho is dope though. Bring it back.
Frank's been eating extra slices
I go to La Rosa a couple of times a months since they opened. It’s my favorite restaurant in Westchester. Matt is the man. Frank seems like a great dude. Awesome interview
My favorite pod now. Frank was a major inspiration of mine when I opened up Mano’s pizzeria. I watched all his stuff on YouTube especially the pizza show. His story is great. Very relatable and extremely talented.
love from poughkeepsie tell frankie gotta be careful of the bricks next time come check out rossi’s deli tho
Giovanni Ribisi Boiler Room. Excellent Film.
Frank is absolute class and his pizza is some of the best out there. Huge respect
The stuff Frank said about the Mexicans in the restaurant getting robbed weekly still takes place here in Charlotte, NC. Hoodrats target them, they know they get paid in cash, don’t use banks and can’t go to the police. It’s bullshit and still goes on to this day. Glad he got out of his situation and is a staple in pizza making cuisine today.
I had to share my Italian heritage and knowledge in my own restaurant.. it would almost be a crime not to.. Especially when you see non Italians cashing in on our culture
Where's skinny Frank?
Interesting
Frank's pizza not good at all
Also Sabino is very fat
This was amazing guys ❤️🍕
Lucia of Ave X… Amazing pizza.
Finally someone interesting and who isn't full of themself.
Pinello seems to be a lovely and genuine guy.
I loved his story
Only episode of the podcast iv fully watched, frank is the goat
I had pizza at his joint in Brooklyn yesterday, was really, really good.
Frankie is the best no pun intended. I’ve followed him from the beginning and actually worked with a guy from his best pizza tree! Always stop by even go out of my way when I’m in the area. Also frequent pizzeria la Rosa in new Rochelle. It’s worth the money we all work hard for and the appreciation and respect for that is in every bite
Three eggplants….
