As someone who live in Bacchus Marsh, Grant St is definitely the best pizza place in town.....

[@fionaanderson5796]

I normally drive Ballarat to Melbourne almost every weekend, often hungry heading home sunday nights. I'll have to check them out.

[@cassandranix7257]

Me too!! The best!😉

[@jacko5399]

I work at this pizza shop, and the accent is perfect

[@Mechknight73]

To his credit, Arthur really deserved that plug. Obviously a nice bloke, and would be great fun to talk to

[@spierbandia]

He definitely got value for money out of that Margarita pizza, garlic bread and drinks

[@Seedyrom247]

Having met a few guys like Arthur in my life, they wouldn’t even think twice about it, or how it influences future sales. They are just passionate guys.

[@TimmyStaunton]

I used to live in the next town over from Bacchus Marsh and Grant St pizza is awesome! Used to go there after soccer games when I was a kid. Memories flooding back

[@unknowndeoxys00]

I'm just tickled at how the cadence of the Italian immigrant accent is universal. I'm imagining Arthur's words in a strong New York-partly mobster accent and the two accents are like long lost siblings 😂

[@boskee]

Arthur's Greek

[@refsmithy]

Still love watching this routine... one of these days I'm going to go to Bacchus Marsh just to buy a pizza. I also love the fact that Grant St Pizza's website actually has this clip on their website. Arthur knows how to capitalise on happy celebrity customers!

[@MissNeverPerfect]

refsmithy he actually has a picture of him and Adam Hills in the shop and is absolutely lovely. Arthur gave our son a t-shirt that says ‘my dad knows where to get the best pizza’ on the back. It’s the best pizza I’ve ever had

[@ausername8658]

What a legend

[@kevinsmithfan37]

update: Arthur just sold the business. wishing him a happy retirement

[@ladyi7609]

You know, the irony is that since Adam is partly of Maltese descent he IS kinda one of those people he was talking about! LOL. Anyway, super memorable routine and I love that the pizza shop owner put this clip on his website.

[@mmgringoire2]

I would go to Australia just to order pizza from that man. Adam Hills is such a great comedian. One of the few who makes me laugh about the wonderful things he's seen and done. An optimistic comedian seems rare.

[@IcEye89]

To me he isn't the most funny comedian ever, there are others that make me laugh more reliably. But his stories are just amazingly uplifting. Joyful as one of his shows is appropriately named. And I'm bloody miffed that the "Dick the Horse" bit isn't a standalone youtube video yet.

[@a.lferry6185]

nah bacchus marsh is shit

[@fionaanderson5796]

@@a.lferry6185 i wouldn't want to live there. It's turned into outer suburbia instead of the country town i remember from my childhood, but i like a few of the fruit shops on the avenue. Jonesy's have THE best tasting strawberries, but only if you know to ask for the local ones. They're an old variety bred for flavour but don't transport well so almost no one grows them.

[@emyherrera]

It's so cool to see Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicome supporting Adam and having a great time.

[@MichaelaWagner]

This is my favourite piece of comedy of all time

[@The1Rosbif]

I went to Bacchus Marsh when I was in Australia specifically to order a pizza but Grant's was shut for the day :( I've never been more disappointing in my life.

[@ch0pst1xZ1]

Had pizza from there last night. Best pizza shop in town.

I’m thinking Bachus Marsh is in the middle of no where but it’s only 22 mins from me. Going to suss this Pizza joint out.

[@helenwhiteley1029]

Taught his elder son. A good Dad and a good provider. A wonderful role model. Adam Hill did more to put Bacchus Marsh on the map than Peter Carey. Come to Bachhus Marsh everyone. It is unique!

They've been working together for a very long time now. I first saw him live 18 years ago and she was there too. And the first two rows were reserved for people with hearing impairments.

I do hope Arthur really exists. It would be worth the trip to Bachus Marsh to meet him. (Funny to think that kid is probably all grown up and running the shop by now.) I’ve always had the theory that anyone with a passion, whom most people dismiss as boring, are actually really interesting.

The shop exists. I've had pizza there before. No idea if Arthur is still there.

As an Aussie, can totally relate to the fits of laughter from the Aussies in the audience because they just know they’ve heard this accent and been served by someone like this in our lifetime! I can’t decide if this is more like the pizza shop owner down the road from me where I grew up, ora character from “Wog Boy”! Either way, it’s 100% legit and I love it!!

LOL Adam is freaking hilarious! And Arthur omg lmao....I will have to watch this several times more to get it out of my system... and by the way... how amazing would it be to have your local pizza guy give a hang the way arthur did?

Yeah. I pass it on my way home from Melbourne. When i was a kid family friends of my grandparents' generation had a farm there. We'd go visit in the summer holidays and my father would get the car serviced the week before "such a long trip". Now i do twice that distance most weekends and am doing well if i check the fuel level before leaving Ballarat. Lol.
