Frank Pinello is the ultimate archetype of a badass pizza guy. He’s got the accent, the heritage, the skills, and a natural coolness that only a few people are born with. I remember watching The Pizza Show religiously when it first aired. Frank’s authentic curiosity—despite being a CIA graduate and a successful pizzeria owner—made him stand out. Exploring different styles, and connecting with pizza shop owners because his genuine interest always came through. On this trip, his pie was one of my favorite slices, and sitting outside Best Pizza on those lawn chairs felt almost spiritual. But it’s not just about Frank. He’s helped me become a fan of everyone in the pizza world. Big or small, every one of us has a story worth sharing, and that’s what excites me most about doing these pods. I hope you enjoy spending a little time with Frank and I in the back of the best pizza shop in America: Best Pizza.
