Pizza Perfection is a food-centric television show hosted by Frank Pinello, an expert pizza chef and founder of Best Pizza in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The show focuses on exploring the world of pizza by delving into its origins, different regional styles, and innovations. The show is presented by INSIDER, and the episodes are available to stream online.

The series is shot with a vibrant visual style, full of bright colors, and upbeat background music. Each episode of the series takes the audience on a journey into the world of pizza, with Frank as an enthusiastic tour guide. He takes viewers through the history and culture of pizza, explaining how it evolved from a humble peasant’s food to a global sensation.

The first episode of the series dives into the world of Neapolitan pizza, which is considered to be the birthplace of modern pizza. Frank takes viewers to Naples to explore the intricacies of making the perfect pizza. He visits a local mozzarella factory to source the finest ingredients and explores how the various toppings can either enhance or detract from the pizza experience. The episode culminates with Frank working alongside the master pizzaioli at one of Naples' most famous pizzeria, Da Michele, as they create delicious Neapolitan-style pies.

The second episode of Pizza Perfection is all about the art of Roman-style pizza. Here, Frank and his team of pizza-loving locals explore the classic thin, crispy, and rectangular-shaped Roman pies. They delve into how the preparation, baking and topping of the pizza change between regions and what makes the Roman-style different. The episode features a backend look at the famous Bonci Pizzarium in Rome, where viewers witness a team making perfectly crispy Roman-style pizzas fresh out of the oven.

The third episode takes a detour to explore the world of dessert pizza, an up and coming iteration of the classic dish. Frank starts off by tasting a wide array of sweet pizza pies, from a classic Nutella and banana combination to more creative sweet-and-savory options. He visits restaurants that offer a combination of traditional pizzas and dessert pizzas, showcasing how combining a pizza crust with creative toppings can create an entirely different culinary experience. The episode ends with Frank trying his hand at making a decadent dessert pizza of his own.

In the fourth episode, Frank explores the world of New York-style pizza, which is well-known for its broad, flat and foldable slices. Frank explores how New York-style pizzas are typically hot, fresh and available through takeaway shops and walk-up window pizzerias. The episode also features classic pizza toppings such as pepperoni, mushroom and onions, and anchovies. Frank even samples pizzas from some of the oldest pizzerias in New York City.

In the fifth episode, Frank and his team travel to Chicago to explore the city-style deep-dish pizza. This iconic pizza originated in the windy city, where a thick, buttery crust is filled with cheese and traditional pizza toppings, then topped with tomato sauce. The episode explores the different methods of baking the deep-dish pizza and how each restaurant has its recipe for this complicated pizza style. Frank also goes on a deep dive into Chicago's pizza culture, including the most popular spots and some hidden gems.

In conclusion, Pizza Perfection is a must-watch for every pizza lover out there. Its five episodes successfully captured the essence of how different styles of pizza were created and how techniques and specific ingredients can become a game-changer. Frank Pinello's enthusiasm and his passion for pizza make the show both entertaining and informational. With its unique concepts, Pizza Perfection makes its viewer fall in love with pizza even more.
