New York is the birthplace of many things, but for today’s purposes, we’re sticking to pizza. Frank starts with a quick history lesson from Scott Wiener, the owner of Scott’s Pizza Tours. Then, we hit the streets to see and taste the history for ourselves. The best thing about the city’s pizza scene is that it’s relatively young, so you can still eat slices from the ovens of the people that started it all and put New York pizza on the map.
We meet the granddaughters of the man that literally brought pizza over from Naples, and even see the ovens that he used. Then, we hit all the best slices from Greenwich Village to Soho, and finish in Brooklyn at Luigi’s Pizza, a place untouched by time.

You’re making me hungry! I loved the pizza and wings made in Buffalo growing up, but after watching this, you’re making me wanna visit NYC just for a slice of pizza 😋
Jimmy Calandrias hood! So many good pizza joints it's hard to say which is best.
So Totonno's, was the question about the cheese ever answered? Was it just mozzarella or was there another cheese that gives it the sharpness? hmmm, just wondering? Looks amazing!
Scott is the kind of guy that complains about his icecream being too cold
Last guy was a sigma chad

scott tiny weiner hes a tool
Doing a show about eating pizza while wearing a white shirt. That takes some bravery.
Unpopular opinion – you shouldn't dip your pizza in mayo. Ranch is kinda acceptable, if and only if the sauce is dried out
We grew up saying let's go grab a slice.So, Grab A Slice NYC, with Maria Muldaur on vocals…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS3PPp6bTO8
It was interesting to see.
Scott. Wiener.

How many grams of dough to NY style pizza?

That was AWESOME. Thank you for sharing that
He got legs. He better use em right
I wonder how many people got the Saturday Night Fever reference.
I really wanna go to eat a pizza at Luigi’s now 🍕
You need to make 60 pizzas a day for 45 years to make 1 million
The problem with Grimaldi is they went too commercial and took what was a simple pizza and made it complicated and added too much fluff, and this makes marketing the store expensive.
Guy from New York: Now that's a real pizza!
Guy from Napels: Hold my mozzarella.
John's is overrated compared to difara
It’s great to see and learn the history of where pizza came from,and the family that made it all happen.
luv him
Di Farias hahaha
Altro che slide pizza. Questa si chiama pizza a taglio anche questo ci avete copiato. Non vi siete inventati un cazzo. Pizza sinonimo di Italia no usa
I could listen to Frank and Cousin Mark Converse all day
eh it looks ok
Idk abt that coal cooking pizza. Won't the smoke from it be toxic? Won't it get into the pizza? If it's under I can get it. But it's literally on the same platform as the Pizza. Idk :/
Host slurs his words a bit.
One bite everyone knows
We the rules
You'd think he'd put on a decent pair of jeans 😂
Yo, Frankie, now you got me goin' around the Orlando region checking out some NY style shops. I think my fav so far is Winter Garden Pizza Company. Something about just how nice and crispy the crust is, the edge as well. Flat out 5/5 for me. There was also a neat walk-up place out in Poinciana off Orange Blossom Trail that you just order from and pick up at he window.
i hope these family owned generational pizza shops continue for many more decades
if i lived in NY i'd probly weigh 400 pounds
They really ruined new York with the scamdemic
the spot
6:14 "can I invite you to eat some pizza here?" That's the best and most New York thing I've ever heard! Pizza is amazing!
Luigi's has that old school and home feeling. Feels like family there, that warm feeling.
Somebody knows why he put black pepper on the coal oven? What's the reason for it?
Imagine having the name scott wiener
Totonnas is amazing; god bless them
The presenter is so cool in this. He did awesome
Travola is a, e Fagioli!!!
Lotta farting after because the beans … You walk like that and people gonna think you been eating lotta lotta Italian sausage. . . You may choke… Oh no 😜😮😮
