I have had it. One of the best pizza places in New York. Its a lot fancier looking than the typical NY pizzeria.

I looked up Anthony Melchiorri because I was wondering if he was putting out any new content. I never missed an episode of Hotel Impossible. He has an excellent eye and a head full of business knowledge. Like Marcus Lamonis he just makes sense without the drama of Gordon Ramsey (love him too). So glad he is back out there. I hope he will pick up some big sponsors so he can spread the love in a bigger way.

I miss your hotel show. You have a personality fit for TV. You need to get some good audio added to this. Hard to focus with the background noise. Hope to see you on a good platform again soon.

Philomena’s is still open as of 7/21/2021. 4.5 stars out of 126 reviews on Yelp. Well done Anthony. Landscape mode bro!!!

As a Sunnyside resident for 8 years, and a fan of the relatively new Philomena's. I have to say I was hoping for their success. They brought GREAT pizza to Sunnyside. The rest of the pizza in Sunnyside is only good. I didn't know they were not doing well. I wish them the best, I only want people to progress. Would be awful if it didn't last. I subscribed, I want to see more. Edit: Finished the episode, wow ITS FIRE was a killer ending. Right place, Right time!

Thanks for sharing. Appreciate your feedback and glad you enjoy Philomena's pizza! More episodes soon.

Just found this show and I love it! From the research, I’ve done online, this place has 4.5-5 stars on every site!!! Not sure if it the same owner but so glad it is still open even during these very very hard times!!!!!

I rarely leave comments on KZread video! I just binged Hotel Impossible on Amazon Prime. I really like Anthony’s passion to revive struggling business. He is doing God’s work to help small business owners! During the COVID lockdown, it hurts small business owners more than anything else! Anthony, we need to you to save more mom-and-pop shops in America!

Im glad to see he is back.

I know I've said it to you before but your knowledge, passion, and caring convey really well. I love the new show concept. The only criticism - go landscape, not portrait.

He’s still going strong and one of the best guys in NYC

Is this the best business consulting reality show or what? This video will live for ever.

$2.50 a slice!! I be there in a heartbeat. Pizzas all looks appealing! Maybe advertising isn't targeting the right customers or location is just not worth visiting. Owner seems like a pretty nice guy.

I know I'm late to the party, but First: That awning has to GO! Its way too bland for that location. It's lost in all the confusion of the street. Replace it with a FAR more colorful awning. Probably dark green with a scalloped apron and highly contrasting piping and trim, (maybe bright yellow, preferably with a fringe added). AND YOUR PHONE NUMBER IN BIG NUMBERS ON IT. Next, your sign up top is perfect, but has to be bigger! The neon sign in the window has to be bigger, preferably with a flashing neon ring around it. Put one small, bright sign in the window advertising one of your pizzas every week. Don't discount it...just name it. ie; "Sicilian Pizza!" Then...SAMPLES, SAMPLES, SAMPLES. Remember you are in a very loud location with lots of distractions. The only way to get customers attention is to be louder, brighter, and more energetic. Energy generates energy. (and interest)!

I love this guy

Love the joy I see on the owners face as you all helped him. He loves his pizza 🍕 and if I were in NY I’d go there to try them all. Much luck and prayers to him that he succeeds

Love this episode and the new show. It’s a great concept and love that social media is the platform it’s being launched and released on.

Fantastic I live in Maspeth and I'll be coming soon. This gentleman needs to be selling pizza by the pie, for the experience. Pizza looks on par with Roberta's and my favorite, Lucali. This is not a slice joint. It's sit down. Give the customer the experience your pizza deserves. Ditch the television in there and give me the candlelight. I'll be coming by regularly because the owner looks like a good guy. @Anthony Melchorri Thanks for this, you're really helping this guy out. He deserves it.

This is making me so hungry ! Anthony I miss your show so much . You have the personality and charisma that loved the camera ! Please continue to help people ! It seems to be your calling ! Thanks !

I shouldn't be watching this when I'm STARVING 😆🍕

Fantastic show. Next time we are in NY we are coming to Philomena's in Sunnyside. I always call my favorite pizza place directly.

I love me some Anthony!! How about a sign in front on sidewalk? Also really needs red and white table cloths (plastic) some plants maybe? I’m an ambience kinda girl.

Plastic plants are a vile product .They need to be abolished especially when we are supposed to care for the environment.

Love Anthony. So glad I came across this.

We usually order direct from the pizzeria or Caviar.

I think just seeing other people in a restaurant makes me want to come in. It's an instant endorsement for people who walk by

I'd so visit this pizza place, if I lived anywhere in NYC. Even if it was in another borough, I'd make it a point to visit here at least occasionally. Too bad I don't. I really, REALLY hope Philomena's makes it, though! I do hope per what Anthony said, that Philomena's does more social media promotions to encourage people to go in! And of course if one of the local newspapers could review this place, it'd probably help a LOT in getting more people into his door. I loved Hotel Impossible, and glad to see Anthony is back! Even if it's only being back, in a KZread only show.

Wish it was a wider shot... but I love you and what you do!!! Kind of wished you would have had people outside to quickly repaint the building and fix the signage... but that would take a bigger team and more scouting and time... but still would have been awesome... keep it up!

Great show..worth my 3 days of watching and not done yet

I *LOVE* NY and I was living in Brooklyn and I wish I was there to have a Sicilian Slice. Thank You Anthony and I am crazy about your Hotel Impossible Episodes and I have watched them Multiple times so that I can implement your ideas at my location where I love teaching and Coaching people all day long. I love my team!!!!

This was such a great episode. It totally looks like the best pizza. When I’m in NY that’s where I’m heading. Xxx. Good luck Dave. 💗

Salads are a must for me. Pizza is a complete meal with a salad.

I'm coming by for lunch next time I'm in the neighborhood

hey anthony are you just doing food in new york or are you all over the country. i have a car Business in Deerfield Beach Florida that needs a lot of work and could Use your Help

Awesome to see you back changing owners life sir ! God bless you 🙏🏽 just subscribed 👍🏽

Love ya man. Very inspirational

I like watching Hotel Impossible. I have seen Hotel Hell with Gordon Ramsay and I like that too.

I think this would really benefit being a well produced web series thing. I’m not saying this is hotel impossible 2.0, but with a little marketing and blah blah blah it would be a hit on KZread

Another clear example of working IN the business not ON the business. Not blaming the man but.. An Idea might have been to give those students a token to exchange on their next pizza. If he's relying on foot traffic I'm sorry but I can't see it ever working.

Pizza Impossible - Love it!!!!

I want Fox to pick up this show. Also, I'd love to see Anthony have tea with Gordon Ramsay and JVN.

Please keep on making these videos !! They are very interesting. I have just suscribed to the channel . I hope to watch a new video soon.👍😃

Great content brother. Make this a KZread series

We are, a new episode will launch online weekly.

Love your show Anthony

the new name has to be "Fire Pizza". And sounds better then the current one..

Since I live in the Chicagoland area, I like Chicago style, deep dish and Chicago style thin crust, which is cut into squares, also known as party cut or tavern style. I have had New York style pizza but it was form a mall food court, it was ok, I never been to a pizza place in New York.

Anthony, I hope this gets picked up as a series!

Anthony: I have now watched the 3 episodes I found on KZread and was excited at first (I loved the Hotel Impossible and have watched them all several times.) The Turnaround 's are very light weight with a lot of you talking and trying to get a re-action or sign of some involvement from the owner. I wont be watching if the format doesn't change with more action or at least written action plans with the involvement of the owner.

why is it being shot in portrait mode? just curious

These “kids” aren’t the best crowd to bring business. Also I noticed no drinks were served.

@lewisburton1852

They are customers just the same, but they just care about cheap food and probably can't appreciate the quality. They were going to spend at least $7 at Wendy's. Do 2 slices and a can of soda for $5.99 one slice doesn't fill you up. Square slices or toppings for a little more.

Did you ever show the big kitchen??

Even a very simple salad or a tomato cucumber salad is sufficient very simple and easy and profitable

Advertising. Flyers, magnets. Walgreens make postcards, bookmarks. Hit the schools, apartments, houses with flyers

Great show

If I ever go to New York, I'm going there

great show

i would drive to long island city all the time to go eat at San Ramo's Pizza on Vernon and Jackson on the corner around the Block from the Police station. the best Pizza i think on Long Island and the the Five Boros. he was there for about 35 years. one day i went and the place was Closed.

Pizza looks great everyone needs to buy pizza from this Pizza shop to keep him from closing

Anthony, I loved your Hotel Impossible show. I watched every episode. It was interesting, informative, emotional and entertaining. Unfortunately this is not. Way way too much talking with nothing happening, the sound is bad and the picture looks like someone shot it with their iPhone 4.I couldn’t watch the whole video. So sorry. I was looking forward to seeing you again. I guess nothing lasts forever. 😔

I would like to try this guys pizza but I don’t live in New York City, I live in the Chicagoland ( Chicago suburbs ).

God please bless this man, both of them.

Even though my favorite pizza is Chicago style ( deep dish/stuffed and thin crust ) I want to try his pizza.

New awning, signage done

I hope this show becomes regular. Anything with anthony or Gordon ramsay. Would live those 2 to team up. Been my dream for years to work for anthony. I work at a hotel Would love anthony to come.

Great content, but I'm no fan of the Vertical Video Syndrome.

I agree doordash Uber just raise price $2 I know I use to be one I was always busy at pizza restaurants

PET PEEVE. Anthony, one of my biggest pet peeves, is incorrect sideways videos. The quality portion of the video is only in the center of the screen, all the rest is junk. My brain simply says, change the channel. Huge black bars? You could at least cut the video, but then yeah, it will be blurry. Next time, ensure the cell phone is sideways "before" you press the record button, or the videos "meta-data" for orientation will be flagged as a "vertical" video, and will only go sideways at that point if you tip the phone and wont correct itself. Our eyes scan left and right, not up and down. the world lays before us horizontally. TV's sit horizontal. Videos that are vertical are sac-relig are only usually taken by inexperienced video photographers and average cell-phone users. Please don't do that to me again, ha-ha, because, I simply love your content, keep up the otherwise-good footage. By thew ay, ive seen EVERY hotel impossible, several times each, great business instruction!!

I heard of it but it was only 1 time don’t know what it is or anything about it

5.50 pep pizza and soda 5.00 plain soda or 2 slices $8 and soda student discount maybe 10% sr discount everyday

Sir, iphone videos are NOT YOUR LEVEL! Even if someone told You that it will be closer to young people etc... Thats why there is no crowd here as on Hotel Impossible..

This place is lovely, but needs to be more friendly… A place more approachable . It missing some italian images from walls, the counter area need more improvement , cause looks just like a canteen … Needs to looks more rustic, cause otherwise it ia just like a take away place …Need some menus that can bring children inside… As soon the children are coming in, the business runs well. Need to be seen in any platform possible … I do not know how it looks at the end, cause I left this come before I saw entire video…So, I’m sure that will be flourish ar the end 🙂

I'm assuming this show idea didn't sell. The portrait aspect really takes away from the content.

If they were already hot you could sell more now they have to wait and teens are not patient

Is this pizza place saved?

Please, please tell me you all paid for the pizza and didn't make this poor guy have to foot the bill when he's barely making it. Teenagers is the wrong crowd - they want cheap, they are loud, they are hard to up-sell. Why not encourage him to have office parties there, and advertise that? Your whole office can come here for lunch for a set price for gourmet pizza. Why not sell those new gourmet seltzer waters people loe? Why not make picnic pizzas that people can take to a park? Someone needs to get creative. I like the idea of this show, but I'm not sure that it is helping the owners at all. It's really too bad. People love fresh, hand made pizza. Those kids would be happy with pizza hut. He deserves better clientele. The decor is awful. Paint would help a lot; it needs a woman's touch.

9:00 be better time

I wonder what covid19 did to this guy. I hope he jumped to online sales and is still hanging in there.

AROUND 59:00 the person holding the cell phone says "Guys, what do you think of the pizza?" then someone says "it's NOT GOOD" just listen to it! And then the bald guy Anthony tries to bully them right after by saying "It's very good! There's no better comment than very good!" Then the cell phone "camera man" says "guy's how does it compare to Wendy's" ??? What?? How about how does it compare to other pizza in the area? Later Anthony says "we made about 30 or 40 bucs..... he would have made ZERO BUCKS".... Anthony acting like HE is the reason some petty change came in the pizzeria. Yeah, maybe he is the reason for that small moment of acting on part of everybody. To other New Yorkers out there... who gives that many slices without having people pay first? Even if that was a real moment of trust, this "show" is still complete crap. Story time for the owner of this pizzeria in NYC. Or any other pizzeria that is somehow failing in NYC of all places. I AM A NEW YORKER. Aside from that, which is unrelated..... I KNOW PIZZA, I LOVE PIZZA. I EAT PIZZA ALL THE TIME. FORGET THIS PIZZERIA. I THINK THAT THIS ANTHONY DUDE DID NOTHING BUT CAUSE THIS PLACE TO DO EVEN WORSE BY MAKING THIS STUPID ASS VIDEO. With MASSIVE MASSIVE foot traffic in nearly every single area of new york city, ALL THAT YOU NEED IS GOOD FOOD. Pizzerias are very very easy to manage and run. "New York Style" style slices only mean that they are very thin pizza slices. A GOOD NYC pizzeria can pump out slices THAT ARE STILL FRESH at a constant rate. If they have a high rate of foot traffic. I once was on 5th avenue working on a food truck..... we parked near this pizzeria that was like a pizza factory! (yes, i know that in the city.... (meaning Manhattan) you will have even more people around and you will make more money). But... Anyways the owner told us that he was paying 40,000 per MONTH in RENT. Yet somehow he still made it work!!! And still made profit!! It doesn't matter where you are in NYC. Your pizza is either good or not, all pizza is made quickly (or should be), you have to base what you make and when you make it during the day off of how many people come in daily, and when they come in. You either care or you don't.... and it'll show in your damn food. If you can't make profit at a pizzeria in NYC, then you are a goon. Straight up. You don't need people like Anthony to come in and screw around with you. Looks like an annoying teacher around kids trying to tell them what to say or how to think. Owner of this pizza place...... Please don't tell me he asked for money for this!

Maybe pass out free 1 slice to passing customers once a week make 4 pies and give out to customers on the sidewalk the other reason I think nobody comes in no word of mouth that’s the best free advertising maybe coupons even if $1 off don’t say $1 just a cheaper odd selling price

If you want people to listen to you, get a microphone close to your mouth.

It must be killer rent VS $2.50 a slice pizza. It looks good and no one's has much to complain about. I'm in Quebec City or i would come down for at least a couple of slices.
