I love how he gives brad a hard time but is very insightful and doesn’t take everything too seriously. Seems like a legit place to work.

[familytrieserichiltz]

Hearing Nino continually cal him “Brad Leone” just hits in a certain comedic way. This was gold!!

[imjustinho]

The accent. The tough love. The "BRAD LEONE". And then giving him ice cream when the tough love was a little too tough. This is peak new york and I love it.

Ninos banter with Brad is straight character building. Love to see it.

[Psykotischen]

As a guy who works in a pizzeria and has had to train many, many, many, many, many failures, Brad picked up the techniques absurdly fast. Kudos

[ceakoth]

Please give nino his own show where he goes in and fixes restaurants and calls all the workers Brad Leone while he berates them, but then gives them ice cream at the end to show they’re still friends

[fmart]

The fact that Brad can't stop calling him "Chef" despite being asked not to call him "chef" is hilarious

[PKG]

This whole episode was great. Huge shout out Nino for keeping us entertained while showcasing how busy a day in the life of a pizza maker is.

[spaceseijo]

As someone who isn't american, this is what I imagine to be peak New York energy.

Brad is by far the best thing at BA! You have a gem, don’t ever lose him.

[spectrecam]

BA, this needs to be a series. While it can be Brad most of the time, if you don't take the opportunity to throw Chris into a place then it will be a huge missed opportunity.

Nino has some great one-liners here:

"Looks great if we were at Chuck-e-Cheese, Brad Leone"
"Fits in the box, and everything"
"Really easy to cut once it gets cold, right, Brad Leone?"
"Oh my god maron' á mia"
"Brad, how about some more stretching, less talking, how about that?
"I got cameras, Brad Leone"

I like his mentality about the flour. "I'll waste $27 worth of flour to get a good employee." And also, he seems like a pretty good boss - a hard ass definitely, but once you're in you're in.

[SmoofDizzle]

First 5 seconds Nino is on screen I already love his vibe. Stoked to watch the rest of the video, pizza's always a good time.

[agnesnathalie]

Nino calling him Brad Leone the whole time had me rolling 🤣

[Ancientcaptain]

I know he's just busting balls but he definitely opened everyone's eyes to just how serious things can get behind and how much cost a new employee actually is

[LeonardChurch]

Nino was everything I expected from the moment he opened his mouth and I couldn't be happier. He is the kind of guy I want to find running a pizza place in Brooklyn

[PatHaskell]

Those two are hilarious together, what a great sitcom.

[hannah]

"Don't hit your head, Brad Leone, you fricken big galoot." Had me on the FLOOR. 😂

[MrPandypan]

That owner should have a show. He is Knowledgeable and hilarious 🤣👌🏻
