I feel like the significance of this episode for the pizza world will only truly be appreciated years and years from now when all these OGs have passed on.

[SpeedKillz]

I’ve been saying this for years Frank is a class act and they needed to continue the series with him. He deserves all the accolades and respect what a guy.

This was an exceptional episode Frank. As a long Island native, I barely knew any of this history. Thank you for your passion for this humble food item. The ending was incredibly wholesome. It was like the avengers of pizza meeting up lol

[HellHammer]

It's impossible to reiterate enough how wonderful Frank is.

What an incredible experience! Seeing these guys and their unwavering passion for pizza is truly inspiring. The depth of history behind is crazy. When they all meet up at the end to produce a grandma pizza really showed their true dedication and friendship. Editing was top notch on this one. Not forgetting Frank is King x

This is probably one of your best episodes. You get to see the old-school competition, but I do believe they all played a part in shaping the scene ''the square grand mama'' and have all found success in their own right. It's mind-blowing to see them all together, being relatively polite with each other. Wish them all the best!

It’s great seeing both generations speaking the language. Don’t let it die. My dad is Toscano and I try to keep practicing with him. A bit hard to get all the Sicilian but I love it.

[junepetr]

This is video gold. This video, I believe, will be looked back upon dearly. You have the greats all together likely to not happen often. Great video Frank, I love the passion.

[DanielCho]

Having them all come together at the end was such a brilliant idea. Munchies and vice could never.

[Cigarstandards]

Long Island native. Grandma slice is my favorite but I never knew it was invented on the island. Great documentary

[Garin-Fons]

What a solid little documentary. Nice work, y'all.

[thebeardedgeordiephotography]

You guys just produced a piece of pizza history right here. This will be one to treasure for decades to come. Bravo

[johnnydop]

Great documentary. Finally cleared up the confusion over the grandma. Great seeing all three pizza OGs making pizza together. In the end, I need a grandma pie NOW!

[tomterranova]

Just an amazing episode. Thank you for putting in the time and thanks to the 3 masters for sharing their stories.

[tyleralphonso]

The ending was one of the cooler things ive seen ever on a food related show

[dalespadafora]

Heartwarming! I still wish my Italian fathers and uncles were still around cracking jokes and bantering. I really miss those days.

[shadowalker]

Wow, what a documentary! You can feel the love, passion and dedication put in. Really incredible getting them all together at the end
