Grandma, who taught you how to make a pizza?

[フランクの祖母] [故郷のマンマに教わった]

[PASQUALINA PINELLO, FRANK'S GRANDMA] I learned in Italy. My mother used to make it.

[玉ねぎやアンチョビを きれいに下ごしらえしてー]

I grab the onions, the bread crumbs, the anchovies.

[唐辛子を加える]

Everything nice and neat.

- 唐辛子か

Put a little hot pepper.

[そして 生地を伸ばして 作るのよ]

A little bit of hot peppers.

- [シチリアで？]

And then I spread the dough. And that's how I make a pizza.

[こっちでも作ってるわ]

Where? In Baucina?

[うちのピザは好き？]

In Baucina and here as well.

[店長 フランク・ピネロ] 最高の店よ

Do you like Best Pizza's pizza, grandma?

- でしょ？

[FRANK PINELLO, CHEF/OWNER, BEST PIZZA] Oh yeah, you like the Best Pizza!

[マンチーズ]

The best.

[ブルックリン 〝ベストピザ〟]

[MUNCHIES]

ベストピザ店長 フランクだ

[BEST PIZZA, WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN]

うちはNYスタイルの店

My name is Frank Pinello and my place is Best Pizza.

来店して５分以内でー

Best Pizza's pretty much just a by-the-slice pizzeria,

ピザと飲み物を 買って 出られる

very much a New York-style place where you can walk in

100年物の窯を使えば 20インチも ４分で焼ける

grab a slice of pizza, grab something to drink,

完成だ

and be out the door in five minutes if that's what you want.

これから作るのは うちのスペシャルだ

Lucky enough to have a 100 year old wood fire oven,

作り始めた頃はルッコラなど のせることも考えたがー

so we cook the big 20 inch pies in about 4 minutes.

リコッタチーズが 引き立つようー

Pizza time!

他の具はシンプルにした

I'm just gonna go ahead and make you a white pizza.

あめ色に炒めた玉ねぎを 生地にのせ 長時間焼くんだ

It's like one of our signature pies over here.

甘さが癖になる一品

When we first started making it we were playing around with like some

ナポリからの移民は ニューヨークに来るとー

arugula and stuff like that on it, and then we decided that

小さなピザ屋を開いた

the white pie is about the ricotta cheese, so

みんな新鮮な食材にこだわり いい腕を持ってた

let's not, let's not do anything too crazy.

それが 息子の代になると みんな こう考え始めた

Let's let the ricotta cheese kinda be the star of the show.

〝質を落として材料費を抑えれば もっと儲かるな〟とね

And we do these caramelized onion that we let sit, you know,

それでピザの味が落ちた

on the raw dough and let caramelize for a long time, it's that sweetness

だから オレの店ではー

that people always keep talking about.

昔の技術や 知恵を 守ってる

Comin' in.

食材も なるべく いいものを使う

Pizza came from Napoli, you know,

ピザは世界で愛されてるが ブルックリンのは格別だ

and when all those Southern Italian immigrants started coming over to New York,

ブルックリンの中でも うちの ベンソンハ－スト地区が一番さ

everybody started opening up all these small pizzerias, and

ビルだ

kept a lot of those values of using really fresh ingredients,

[ビル・マイヤー] オレの悪友

and having really great techniques,

店のピザ宅配員 飲み友だから 誘った

and, you know, as time went on, their sons took it over,

ピザ宅配員とは 長年 接してきたがー

or they sold the pizzerias, and I think people started

ビルには 一目で素質を感じた

realizing, oh, you know, we could just use shitty pepperoni, and

82年から配達を

shitty mozzarella cheese and make a whole lot more money, you know.

８枚同時に運べる

Started realizing, man, this pizza isn't as good as it used to be.

しかも 驚くことに ピストバイクに乗って行くんだ

So when we finally got in here it was important to me

集中豪雨が来た時は ずぶぬれで配達する

to try to preserve some of those old techniques and those ideas.

それでも やり遂げる

of using the best stuff that you possibly can

ビルが合羽をもらったと 聞いた時は 安心した

and hope that we'll make it up.

似合ってたろ

I know a lot of people love pizza across the world.

ベンソンハ－スト地区は シチリア人街だから いいピザ屋が

You know what I mean? Across the country, but

中でもJ&Vピザは NYスタイルの人気店さ

I'm not so sure that anyone has done it better than Brooklyn.

スクエアピザで有名だ

Like Napoli, like anywhere. Pizza and Brooklyn go hand-in-hand.

ガキの頃 よく小銭を持ってー

I thought it would only be right to bring you to Bensonhurst, of course.

ここでピザとアイスを 買って 午後を過ごした

Filthy, filthy.

よう 元気？

[BILL MEIER, DELIVERY MAN, BEST PIZZA] My partner in crime is Bill.

スクエア ４つくれ

Bill's a delivery guy here, but we spend a lot of time together

ビル 食べようぜ

out at the bars, so I figured I'd bring Bill along as well.

厚くて柔らかいのが 理想だ

I've worked in pizzerias my entire life.

下はサクサク 中はフワフワ 上にチーズのトッピング

Delivery is a huge part of pizza places,

３つのバランスが 絶妙なのがー

and the second I met Bill I knew it was a match made in heaven.

いいピザの証だ

I've been a bike messenger since 1982.

土台も具もチーズも うまい

I've seen Bill take 8 pies in a bag.

この店は 設立当初からー

To me that's mind blowing. This guy rides a fixed gear bike

質をキープしてるのが わかる

with no brakes on it, and sometimes...

大量の箱は 繁盛してる証拠さ

and sometimes it'll be like, torrential downpour,

この街の主食だ

and he'll be fuckin' soaked to the bone.

次はダヴィンチ

But he gets the job done man, always gets the job done.

ごちそうさん

Think it was Brandon's, from Roberta's... to get you a cape.

昔から２択だった

-Dude. -And I was like, "Fuck yes!"

小銭がある時や 祖母が料理を作らない時はー

I told him I would totally rock the cape.

J&Vか ダヴィンチに行く

For me, homebase for pizza, 18th Avenue in Bensonhurst

着いた

old Sicilian neighborhood, and they got some great pizzerias.

人気店のダヴィンチ

J & V Pizza is a great by-the-slice pizzeria

[ピッツェリア・ダヴィンチ]

that's on the corner of 64th Street and 18th Avenue.

ピザ屋には どこもウリがある

The square slice at J & V is what they're known for.

スクエアピザなら J&V

As a kid I used to always go there, and you know, scrape up some change

円形ピザなら ダヴィンチ

grab a square slice from J & V, an Italian Ice,

いい仕事するよな

and, you know, my afternoon was made.

うまそうだ

What's up pop. Can I get a...

分厚いな 食べるぜ

4 squares please. Thank you papa.

味は 変えてない

Bill sit down. Let's eat.

[店長 アンジェロ・ネール] 完璧を追求しー

A proper square Sicilian slice is a nice thick fluffy slice.

この味に到達した

A crusty bottom, a nice fluffy middle,

小麦粉の配合で あの色と味 歯応えを実現した

a sauce-y, cheesy top to it.

- いい腕だ - 確かに

So it's like three different components.

満腹になった

And when you get that ratio right...

うまかったよ

you know, that's a good Sicilian slice.

最後は ヴィッラバーテで締める

It's pretty crunchy on the bottom, nice and fluffy in the middle,

シチリアの味を 堪能できるー

The cheese is really good. You can tell like this is one of those places

[ヴィッラバーテ] 菓子店だ

that just kept the quality up over the years, you know what I mean?

ここのエスプレッソ 後味が最高なんだ

You can look around and see how many pizza boxes they have.

シェフの見習い時代 ここでカノーリを買ってー

And you can tell that these guys are doing really good business

上司にあげてた みんな絶賛してたよ

and they're a staple in the neighborhood, so.

シチリア風カンノーリだ

From J & V we went to DaVinci's.

いただきます

Thank you man! Take care buddy.

グラッチェ

And that was always sort of a toss up, like,

満足だ

if we had a couple bucks in our pocket, or my grandmother maybe

行くぞ

didn't feel like cooking and wanted to order some pizzas, it was always like

〝マンチーズ〟って番組の 撮影！

alright, where are we going, J & V or DaVinci's?

10歳からブルックリンから 引っ越したが 週末はー

-Here we are. -Wow, that was far.

祖母に 会いに来てた

World famous, Davinci's pizzeria.

[祖母の家] 階段を上がるとー

[DAVINCI PIZZERIA, BENSONHURST, BROOKLYN]

祖母の料理の香りが 漂ってきた

Every classic pizzeria offers their version of a square

玄関のドアを開けてー

and their version of a round, and J & V for me was

家の長い廊下を進むと 香りは一層強くなる

the square slice, and DaVinci's was the round.

[着いたよ]

And as you can see these guys do a nice job.

ハグの後 ドアを抜けるとー

-That's a pretty slice. -Beautiful crust.

料理がズラッと

Nice and thick. Let's give it a shot.

料理したんだ？

It's always been the same. The recipe hasn't changed.

みんな食いしん坊だから...

[ANGELO GNERRE, OWNER, DAVINCI PIZZERIA] I just try to perfect it, you know.

よう トーマス！

Maybe I add a little of this, a little of that, I use different types of flour,

元気か？

to give it that color, that consistency, that flavor,

ビルは みんな初対面

that crunchiness.

はじめまして

Classic. These guys know how to do it right.

食べようぜ

Yeah they do.

ありがとう

So we were feeling pretty full after DaVinci's.

このピザで オレは育った

Thank you so much man!

ばあちゃんの作る 田舎の味

And it was only right to bring you guys to Villabate.

トマトに あめ色の玉ねぎ

It's just like Sicily rolled up into a ball,

アンチョビも入ってるかな

[VILLABATE ALBA BAKERY, BENSONHURST, BROOKLYN] and thrown into like a storefront.

料理を並べ 腹いっぱい食べる これが うち流

They make great espresso, like really really tasty

撮影は関係なく いつも祖母は たくさん料理を作る

and the flavor of the coffee lingers in your mouth.

シチリア風のー

When I work for a chef that I really love,

絶品パスタ

what I would do is come here and buy them a dozen cannolis.

トッピングは パン粉

and bring it to them as a treat, and the second they tasted it,

シチリアの人はチーズなんて 高級品で買えなかった

they knew that it was like the primo stuff, so.

炭水化物同士でも 食感が合う

Here you go. Sicilian-style cannoli.

[ビルも一緒で うれしいわ]

This place does it the best.

おいしい？

Thank you very much. Grazie si!

超おいしいよ

Amazing.

大好きよ

Come on Bill.

[ばあちゃんも食べて]

I'm being on a TV show right now.

食べるのが好きな子だ

I think that it's called Munchies.

[フランクの父] 昔 よく台所でー

I lived in Brooklyn until I was about 10 years old, and then

調味料のアドバイスを くれたり

my family moved out to Long Island. On the weekends we would always

妻と私の料理に 時々 口を出してた

sort of drive back to Brooklyn to spend the weekend with my grandmother.

うちは 金には縁がない ずっとアパート住まい

[NONNA'S HOUSE, BENSONHURST, BROOKLYN] And as soon as you kind of like approach the steps,

でも シチリア人らしく 食事を心から楽しむ

you could like smell the aroma of what my grandmother's been cooking

この生まれを 幸運に思う

for like the last 3 or 4 hours.

ピネロ家 最高！

Oh yeah!

ありがとう 会えてよかった

You know, my grandmother would buzz us in and the door would open,

気をつけろよ

walk down the long hallway, and that aroma starts getting a little bit more

事故に遭うなよ

strong, you know.

家を出て 店に戻った

-Yes. -Hi!

友だちが来てたから ミートボールピザを焼いた

We've arrived.

飲んだ後の シメとして人気

Shower us with hugs and kisses and then walk right through the little

肉はロースとバラを 使ってる

doorway, and bam, the table would just be stocked with food.

この油が うまいんだ

-Oh wow. -You got some food?

しっかりミートボールに 絡ませて 生地の上にのせる

Well it's 8 o'clock, and you can't keep a roomful of Italians...

ピザは 酒と合う

-Thomas! -What's going on man?

みんな ピザ屋に来た後 バーに繰り出す

-Hey buddy. -How are you?

そして 仲間と飲んで 腹をすかせて ピザ屋に戻る

I never imagined I would take that walk with Bill.

そこで食べる 焼き立てピザは 最高だ

Hi! How are you?

ナプキンいる？

Everybody sit down. Eat!

[ほら ばあちゃん]

Oh sweet. Thank you very much.

入院中の じいちゃんの 回復を願って

Talk a lot about pizza today? This is the style of pizza that I grew up eating.

乾杯だ １ ２ ３...

Country-style grandma's pizza, my grandmother stuffed this one

- 健康に！ - マンチーズ最高！

with some tomatoes, some caramelized onions,

この幸せに乾杯！

possibly some anchovies in there, I haven't tasted it yet so I'm not sure

字幕翻訳　日本映像翻訳アカデミー 字幕監修　大石レナ

but this is the way we do it. Full table full of food,

and eat until we're stuffed.

My grandmother put out a lot of dishes.

I know she knew the camera was coming, but I'll be honest with you,

it's always like that.

This is classic Sicilian pasta.

Right here.

Put a little bit of bread crumbs as a topping, bread crumbs on top.

A lot of people in Sicily couldn't afford cheese as a topping,

so you see bread crumb pretty often on top of pasta, which

it's starch on starch, but like,

the texture combination goes really really well.

-That's yours no? -That's mine.

I'm really happy that you brought Bill with you today.

You like? You like?

Oh yeah, I love it, I love it.

I love you, I love him too.

Nonna, sit down. Go ahead and sit down.

He loved to eat, and he was like,

[STEVE PINELLO, FRANK'S FATHER] around the kitchen when my wife Diane was cooking,

he would actually advise us as to what, you know, spice to use,

every now and then, he would kind of, you know,

put his own two cents into it as to say.

My family was never rich by any means, you know what I mean,

we always grew up in apartments in Brooklyn, but

the one thing that we did right was eat.

The commitment to food that I think Sicilian people have in general

it's crazy, it's amazing, and I feel lucky that I was born into it, you know?

Woo-hoo! The Pinello's rock!

Alright, thanks again you all! It's great to see you!

Bill! Be careful brother!

Thanks a lot Bill. Keep those wheels oiled!

After we left grandma's house, we came back to Best Pizza.

And we had some friends waiting for us here, and we did a meatball pizza

which is starting to become a popular pie here,

especially towards the end of the night when people come in hammered

from the bars.

We get our meat from Pat LeFreda,

it's 50% rib, 50% brisket.

All that fat is flavor.

So we wanna make sure we get all that nice beautiful clear fat

mixed in with those meatballs and back on top of the pizza.

Pizza is like the perfect accompaniment for drinking.

You come into a pizzeria, you have a few beers,

some pizza, you get yourself a nice base before you go out to the bar,

and you usually get hungry at the end of the night, you know,

and if you're done partying with your buds coming back and

having a nice fresh pie out of the over is, to me it's like...

you can't go wrong. It's beautiful.

Who needs napkins?

Nonna what are you, pounding?

To my grandfather Nonnu, we miss, you get better.

Indeed.

To Munchies. Uno, due, tre...

Salud! Viva!

Thank you Munchies!

Viva Santa Fortunata! Viva!

Salud! Viva!
