The Pizza Show: Philadelphia

Philly is good for more than a cheesesteak. WATCH MORE PIZZA SHOW: bit.ly/2fKoiQJ

[@justinthomas1244]

thanks for this video it reminds me of home... i loved the taco challenge back when i used to live there

[@joycethomas84]

yessss thank you! lol.. everyone from outside of Philly always have an assumption that "ohh, your from Philly, you must love cheesesteaks".. we don't just sit around and eat cheesesteaks all day. Lol. Great show you have. I enjoyed watching this episode in particular.

[@GougerOfTheGroin]

Frank handles difficult personalities so well, always reads the situation in a way that hes polite and respectful while making the show entertaining for the viewer. Best host on Munchies by a mile

[@SweetChinMuzik1]

Alan absolutely...like when the older man at the market told Frank "he can learn something from Norma"....Frank could have been a super dick but he was totally humble.

[@boxlad7583]

Rob Lo eh dude was prob just messing around, old people are always like those dang youngsters should learn a bit from us

Good comment.

[@asielnorton345]

Alan but it bothers me when he goes to cities like philly and Chicago and even Naples and hits these major chains. Many of these places are hardly hidden gems. Best restaurants, including pizza shops, don’t belong to major food companies.

[@reginaldfartingale]

My brother's douchbag cat is really loud when no one is home, but one day, we found out that Frank's voice soothed him. Now before we leave for work in the morning, we set his furry ass up with the Pizza Show playlist so he doesn't bother the neighbors with his bitching. Thank you, Frank. Thank you for bringing peace to my home, pizza really does sooth the restless beast.

[@apugalypse_now]

It was really weird seeing Frank have to fold his arms, lean against a countertop, and actively stop himself from helping ... he's usually so helpful and engaged with his hosts but this guy was like "My pizza is sacred, keep your filthy peasant hands off of it." It reminds me of that guy in either the Rome episode or the Naples episode ... who said "You're a baker, you're a pizzaiolo, not a heart surgeon." Meaning pizza isn't a religion and shouldn't be so damn serious.

[@jasmines72]

Jeff Barg is a hack. No one in Philadelphia does the Philly Taco. Jeff just wants to be on Vice. Sad.

[@newthrash1221]

Stephen Hellinger It honestly didn't not look like a good combination...it's not even a clever concept. Pretty dumb.

[@SyxxPunk]

I'm pretty sure that there's cheesesteak ingredients on a pizza, even up here in Canada. The Philly Taco seems like it's unnecessary.

[@phillystyle445]

+SyxxPunk yeah, it's not really "a thing". I started seeing this Philly Taco thing being mentioned in the media a couple of years ago. Every time it comes up a bunch of us go "Wait. I've never seen this. Where'd this BS come from?" It's good to finally know the answer. This columnist made it up. Who knows, it may catch on but until such time everybody in Philadelphia except for *that guy* thinks it's a bonehead move; some would say "unnecessary". ...but give it time. LOL

[@raolf7450]

He's almost certainly Jewish

[@ttrdf]

C K Yeah man, that’s what I was thinking. I’m from Aston(south Philly) and I’ve never seen or heard of this.. It’s gross, straight up... Felt like I was gonna have a heart attack just watching.

[@Heiryuu]

I was about to say I’ve never seen someone do that. I’m tempted to do it, but I wouldn’t be caught dead in philly with that thing.

[@Ace-xe2uo]

I agree with you totally C K which ponders the question Why eat em together when you can enjoy them separately? by themselves they are great together that's stretching the weird barrier just a little. Lmao

[@nickm8874]

C K same with the London “marmite pizza” on that episode. I like Frank a lot. And his show is great. But that marmite thing was bullshit

[@lead111]

That limited pizza guy seems dead behind the eyes. Cool shop tho

[@omarz2145]
