Pizza | Visiting with Huell Howser | KCET

In this pizza extravaganza, Huell learns everything you've ever wanted to know about America's favorite food. We start our adventure at Village Pizzeria on Larchmont Boulevard with owner Steve Cohen, who believes that pizza should be made the old-fashioned way. Next, it's off to the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas to get the other side of the story and explore new machines that can do everything in the pizza-making process. From old school to new school, Huell shows it all.

Huell was a treasure. No one like him.

[@michaeljohnston1334]

I miss California and the food there is no place like it in the world living in Florida sucks, have cancer treatment while on dialysis, love you Huell Howser and California gold show, Rest in Peace.

[@dalefick8405]

I love Huell....Miss him

[@marktwain3531]

the thing I like about Huell, is that he's just absolutely amazed by the slightest things. I've never seen someone so amazed by a guy kneading dough.

[@marktwain3531]

51:09 that music

[@H_A_F_GAMING]

Huell we miss you man.

[@herbbirdsfoot]

Great episode. Glad to see Village Pizzeria still going and presumably doing so without all the machinery shown at the expo!

[@befuddled2010]

This is just such an eye-opening episode. I have been making pizza at home my entire life and I really appreciate the spectrum of alternatives on display here. I will stick to my handmade pies fermented for 2-3 days and topped with the best of ingredients I can find. Huell and I are contemporaries and lived in LA at the same time, so his loss really hits home even so many years after. His legacy will hopefully live on to inform future generations about what laid the ground work for where they are now (for good or for ill I must add). All that aside, this episode is a great example of what Huell did best when he was at the top of his game

[@deepspace28]

Great learning experience! Huell is an L.A. gem 💎 who still lives on ❤️

[@mikecarter8880]

Hey wanna watch a show about lint art or pizza making machines? Doesn't matter what it was, I have never seen a boring or dull episode. He really was a special talent.

[@jaytownsend4021]

If you have the time to wait and let an artist make the pizza it is still worth it.

[@ChristopherWilliams-zh8si]

I agree 100 percent

[@samsung5181]

Wow, this was "Pizza Theory". Steve stuck to his guns on "home made pizza". It truly is the best.!!!!!😋

[@closertotheheart]

4:10 WHAT??? Huell just said something WASN'T exciting? Holy mackerel.

[@comfeefort]

I can always tell a commercial Pizza to one made by hand, it's missing the soul.

[@jakejohnson7714]

Huell is the best makes me laugh/Lol!

[@iamhereblossom1588]

3:49 cracked me up.

[@phongphong4640]

Wow, this episode is so Epic in its literal sense. Huell Howser is the true Master! The most inspiring American treasure. Respect and Admiration!

[@tomthalon8956]

One pizza trade show, everybody knows Huell's tour guide is Harold Ramis's doppelganger.

[@albundy7239]

Great now I want pizza

[@vinnypineify]

California Gold

[@guslevy3506]

Huell could get genuinely excited watching paint dry…look Louie, the paints starting to look less wet! I miss Huell, but glad that we had him at all…

[@sardu55]

Huell's sense of wonderment gets the better of him as he constantly talks over the dough guy as he tries to explain things. At times Huell does over does it, sort of a weaponized Mr. Rogers.

[@samsung5181]

😂😂😂😂😂. Weaponized Mr Rodgers.

[@Misterz3r0]

You're the Huell Howser of KZbin comments

[@aaam.7585]

just Look at it will you Just Look at it Look at it

[@Misterz3r0]

Haha, that pizza machine guy seemed pretty defensive about Huell asking him whether the frozen bullshit he helps produce stands up to hand made Pizza. What a tool.

[@ChristopherWilliams-zh8si]

Yeah you could see how pissed he was getting

[@dedreman2227]

Guy at 40:43 was the best lol

[@herbbirdsfoot]

Huell definitely comes across as a born yesterday hayseed occasionally … but check out the moment at 38:00 when he reminds the guy about protecting his patent rights😂

[@SwazAttack]

Econ Spengler, Howard Stern mix

[@AMHAPPY]

1 bite shut these boys down yearzzz ago…

[@goldminer1957]

need's more sauce

[@gregoryadkins2213]

Even if Steve wanted to do it through automation he could never get all that equipment in his place.

[@mikecarter8880]

If you look at how large his old school oven is compared to the newer ones on rollers, he could fit them in. But more power to doing it the old fashioned way.

[@anthonyprieto09]

great just great to

[@Sojourning_]

👍👍👍

[@abandawon]

I Like 6 in 1!!!!

[@ShakespeareCafe]

I'm through with buying pizza from a pizzeria. It's $40 for a large pizza now. I'll make my own. That was the stingiest amount of sauce. Would it hurt to double dip the sauce?

[@keithnichols7926]

Of course, the employees at a fully automated pizza joint get no more satisfaction from their work than a mop-jockey in a gas station, so the turnover in pizzeria workers is about the same. And if any of the pizza machinery breaks down, you have to close down.

[@travisp224]

Steve sold out to new owners in 2022, it's very different now i hear, and the dispute and debate of leaving all the memorabilia from Steve has been a huge issue in the area i hear. But i wish the new owners well, as their website looks horrible to this day.

[@iamhereblossom1588]

Huell always acted so clueless and likeable.

[@chrisstephens5310]

I'm hungry what time do we eat.....

[@MRATOMIC-yz2cx]

Huell always did a great job and when they do another season of Visiting they should hire Adam The Woo as the new host. He is very good and a big Huell fan.

[@ricardokim4870]

WONDER PROGRAMMER

[@sclogse1]

Too much pizza after the age of 50 makes an unhappy colon.

[@mikecarter8880]

49 year old checking in, can confirm. Doesn't go down like my 21 year old stomach.

[@Radnally]

Filmed in 2011?

[@toddlert1519]

I love pizza

[@Shin-Blade]

Dana Gould ruined this for me... 🤣

[@Florider420]

Button that shirt up bud

[@phongphong4640]

Why?

[@Florider420]

I was a jerk 4 years ago Phong.... I don’t even remember why I said this.

[@Misterz3r0]

@@Florider420 Shut the fuck up.

[@AlreadyShort]

[@dinoviele6151]

I'll buy my Pizza from Italians and bagels from Jews.

[@DIANNEELEE]

[@M15Taka]

See, gluten is good

[@bassboat_mafia1266]

I hate that he always cuts ppl off when he talked needs to listen more

[@shaner3530]

Cccc

[@MrSunlander]

Wow, Huell getting all judgmental

[@tonnysenioranthony4251]

First off all, NEVER mix yeast water and salt, and mix it like he does, all he is doing is killing the yeast, and then he wack his finger at a dough press, what a hypocrite

[@tr7287]

Huell is getting senile. You can tell on his videos. On this video, he rudely cuts off the olive woman and dont even know it. lol

[@mikecarter8880]

You must be new to Huell, he can do that often. My favorite is when he is so exciting and talking while shaking someones hand, it can go on forever, LOL. I miss that man all the time. He was Californias Gold.

[@pauleckert4321]

Yah he did that all the time. I think he would get so excited he really doesn't mean it. But yah In some episodes you can tell some of the guests would get annoyed. One guest one time actually stopped Huell and was like don't interrupt I am telling a story. It was so funny it was an old lady and I don't remember what episode it was but that old lady wasn't about to be cut off. But Huell was such a nice guy I don't think he realized it when he would do it.
