I cannot believe that people actually gave this video a thumbs down and some left negative comments. Why can’t you just enjoy the fact that she is as sweet as apple 🍎 pie. I love her because she reminds me of my grandmother who is no longer with us. People should cherish grandmothers like Nonna Gina, because they are rare. Please be kind and respectful to her.

Well said. I watch her and it's like watching my late dear mother who put her heart and soul into her food. The only thing Italian mom wants is to make sure you eat good. We never went to restaurants because we always got better food at home thanks to women like this.

I’m not Italian, I’m Indian and I’m not Catholic, but I LOVE that she blessed the dough… that’s what makes food from grandmothers taste so comforting, their love and prayers are in the food. ❤

Grandma, I’m a 73 yr. old great grandma and I have to say, you inspire me with your Italian cooking!! I’m not Italian but people think I am because I love everything Italian! I grew up with two Italian families, the Mariano’s and the Vasterelli’s. You remind me so much of them and I love your accent, your expressions with your hands and watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your recipes with all of us. (My sauce is almost identical as yours except I add sugar and wine as this is the way my Italian families did it.) Love to you, Grandma!!❤ PS: You have a lovely voice!😊

I'm a 40 yr old black man from SC and and I just love this woman. I miss both my Gmas' so much

This video made me homesick in a big way. In my mothers hometown, in Italy, my grandmother didn't have a stove so she would shape the loaves of homemade bread and bring them to the communal oven. I know it sounds outdated, but something about this makes my heart hurt and I feel we have lost something socially that I just can't put into words. My mother would bless the rising dough by doing the sign of the cross in the same way when she made "pizza bianca", white pizza, just garlic and rosemary on top. Now it's my turn to keep the tradition alive. Che Dio ti Benedica. Great video.

This video is a gem. Gina's personality is so lovely. Her homemade canned tomatoes, along with all the other ingredients, shows that pizza is a phenomenal creation that can be taken in any direction you want. Too bad this video does not have smell-o-vision. God Bless you Gina.

I am a 52 year old Canadian male. I grew up in a Northern logging town. Both my parents worked and I had an Italian baby sitter. My mom would drop me off and pick me up after she finished teaching. Her name was Auntie Anna...I have fond memories of her and Uncle Tony. She would make me home made pizza, pasta, etc. As I look back now, I miss all the accents I grew up with, Italian, Serbo-Croatian, German, Dutch, etc. I miss the food, and most of all, my Aunties who used to look after me, and feed me. Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories.

When everybody is shoving pizza in their mouth and not thinking twice about it, stop and think about all the work and love the cook went through to make it just for you. Tell them how much you love and appreciate them ❤️

I gave Gina a thumbs up & if I were able to I’d have given her 2 thumbs up. She showed us how to cut up basil with a scissor, how to open the canning jars with a bottle opener & how to make dough rise by covering it on the couch with blankets. When I watched Gina do those things alone I thought why didn’t I think of doing that stuff? I love Gina & her recipes, even though I live alone & she cooks up enough food to feed a small army, Gina totally rocks!

Some folks are just nasty and ungrateful. GOD will deal with them. Italian Grandma is a national treasure. She’s sharing and passing down delicious recipes not just to her family but to the world. May she be forever Blessed ❤

Is this pizza what many pizzerias call "Grandma's Pizza"? There was a wonderful restaurant owned by 2 Italian brothers from Long Island who had the best pizza I have ever eaten--and it was called "Grandma's Pizza". It was made in the same rectangular shape, and did not have meat or vegetables--just tomatos and cheese with some spices and garlic. This looks wonderful! Thank you!

How sweet that Gina prayed over the dough and covered it with a blanket while proofing. She reminds me of my own Nonna who always made us special dishes when she visited. I love when she sings too!

What a wonderful lady and video of making traditional Italian pizza! It brings back warm memories of my South American grandmother when I was a little boy, I would watch her in the kitchen make traditional recipes from her country... Grazie mille Grandma Gina :) Your family are very lucky they have you...

Granny just made five pounds of pizza dough by hand, and I used a stand mixer today for four cups. LORD we are so spoiled! I'm subbing because I can feel the love flowing through her cooking for her family!

the way she spreads that dough and makes that thin crust, just magic

This lady is truly the salt of the Earth. Listen and learn, these skills and knowledge are slowly fading away into dust.

I love it that she calls 4 big trays of pizza "a little!" I want me an Italian grandma plz. God bless you!

Thank you Italian Grandma! You made me so hungry for your authentic Pizza!!

Hi Ms. Gina. I wanted to thank you for this beautiful video. I lost my grandma when I was 19 and she was one in a million! You remind me so much of her, and I cry and smile watching you make this beautiful pizza because it’s something her and I used to do quite often together as well as making homemade pasta. Her gravy was the best thing I’ve ever tasted in my life. Thank you so much for sharing your videos, for bringing back so many wonderful memories for me and for reminding why I love cooking alone and with my beautiful little girl. ❤️ God bless!

Don’t know how I got to this video but wound up staying just to listen to grandma talk.

It took me 15 years to figure out how to make pizza. Nona Gina makes it look so delicious and not too difficult to make. It really takes skill to bake pizza in such a relaxed manner too.

Ilove to see your recipes especially when you make the sign of the cross and when you sing i am from Malta i love people like you God bless you ❤❤

As sweet as she is (and Gina is VERY cute and authentic), I think special thanks go to her kids/grandkids for making these videos for her. They show tremendous respect by allowing her to be herself, without editing or corrections to her speech etc. It's a beautiful, living tribute to Gina and a sweet thing to share with us web-dwellers.

These videos are not about recipes. They are about family. All four of my grandparents came from Italy. It is apparent that this grandmother is adored by her family, as it should be. I congratulate Gina not on making pizza but on making her family. I am sure Gina takes little pride in her pizza but great pride in her family. To her family: be proud, the love you show for her, shines through these videos. That type of love is more Italian than American but is certainly not exclusive to Italians. That love and respect may not be noticed by all viewers but it is certainly noticed by some. May God continue to bless you all.

Can you be my grandmother? LOL!! This is the first video I've watched of you & I love you already!!

When Grandma cooks, the angels sing! It just doesn’t get any better than this! Thanks for sharing your recipe. 🤗

The rates shot up to 75 percent of all households cooking at home for more days of the week than eating out.. and post pandemic that has hovered around 71 percent in 2022, not sure this year yet but its likely around the same.
