Why does everyone diss Pizza. This show is hilarious, Poking fun at everything and always making it work. The show follows 2 Pizza Guys, Pauly and Sleek. Both are from different backgrounds, but always end up either beaten up, hurt or in some sort of pain.
Besides, the worst show on TV is South Park, sure it's funny, but goes too far with their jokes, Give Pizza a chance

Being what the ethnic community refers to as a 'skip' - anglo-saxon Australian. Nothing I've seen on Aussie T.V. surpasses this show. But then again, I'm a larrikin and a mug.
Who would have ever thought that the 2nd generation 'choccos' would create their own subculture and create a unique show like this. Banjo Patterson & Henry Lawson would turn in their graves. Even the Sydney characters of C.J. Dennis at the turn of the 20th Century weren't as rough or uncouth as Paully,Sleek (the elite), Bobo and Habib. And that new flower of Australian womanhood, Toula just cracks me up every time she appears.
In a lot of cases, Australians throughout history have been rebellious and couldn't give a tinker's toss what other people think of them. What you see is what you get down here.
To the creators of 'Fat Pizza' - Welcome to the fold fellas...Forget that "New Australian" label. You're as Aussie as they come.

Being an Australian it may seem typical that of course I'd like "pizza" but not true. I was at first skeptical of the show but grew to love it, although the filming and acting is not "crash hot", overall thats what makes the show funny! Some jokes might be hard to relate to for non-Australians. Words like "yobbo, look mate, hooroo, stooge etc, etc are used. Give the show a chance your bound to love it!!!

Bobo Gigliotti owns a pizza restaurant in Sydney's west, Fat Pizza, its catchphrase being "They're big and they're cheesy". Pauly is one of his delivery people and has all manner of encounters and adventures during his working day. The sorts of characters he meets are varied and amazing.
Very funny. On the surface the series seems like a low-brow sort of comedy, but it is far better than that. The humour cleverly mocks the low-brow stereotypes as well as satirising events and people of the day. Living in Sydney and having to experience some of the silly things they ridicule makes the series even more engaging and relevant.

i've only seen it a couple of times and each time i tell myself ' i have no idea why i am watching this ' but the stupidity of it all makes me laugh, kind of 'so bad it's good'. Yeah the directing is hopeless and the scripts leave a lot to be desired but the dopey expressions on the faces of pauly and sleek help them get away with it. The jokes are way too literal, and i'm not the sort of person that laughs at ANYTHING so i have no idea why i think it's ok but it is (everyone i know thinks this show completely sucks)!!
