Pizza

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.

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

What I love the most about this comedy is the way it embraces ALL character stereotypes you could ever imagine and puts them into one show. This takes Australian humour into the 21st century, and without sounding like i'm taking it too seriously, it is actually very indicative of the current state of multiculturalism in Australia, and especially Sydney. I love the way it explores virtually all subcultures around today - ethnics, celebrities, gays, models, goths, druggies, criminals, whatever... The cameo appearances are very funny, and seeing Bernard King playing himself was a definite highlight for me, as well as the characters from Prisoner Cell Block H. I especially love Maria Venuti as the interfering Italian mother, and the character of supermodel Claudia MacPherson is a total crack-up. The (probably intentionally) bad acting only serves to make this show even funnier. Check this show out when it returns to SBS in mid-2000, it's hilarious.

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)!!

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!!!
