Overview

Pizza was an Australian television series on the Australian television network SBS. The series has a spin-off feature length movie, Fat Pizza, released in 2003, and a best-of highlights video/DVD that featured previously unreleased footage and a schoolies exposé, released in 2004. In addition to this, a theatre show entitled "Fat Pizza", starring several characters from the show, has toured the Australian east coast. Through ironic and self-conscious references, Pizza involves themes of ethnicity and stereotypes, cars, sex, illicit drugs, and violence to produce its sometimes mean-spirited dark humour. The television program is noted for its frequent cameo appearances of numerous Australian celebrities of all varieties, including actors, comedians, professional athletes, and other public figures.

Overview

We visit Hong Kong and Hashfield Heights. It’s Father’s Day and Bobo is giving away screwdrivers as part of a Father’s Day promotion. The pizza boys reminisce about their dads. Kev the Kiwi remembers his first beer with his dad. We learn the whereabouts of Habib’s father and Pauly reflects on his dad Alfredo, who disappeared when he was five. We learn that Alfredo Falzoni was the basis for Ian Fleming’s anglicized James Bond. Alfredo, the Maltese James Bond, was trained in espionage by the British after World War II. We discover secrets about the JFK assassination, Bruce Lee, Area 54, dead aliens, Harold Holt, Gough Whitlam and the moon landing. It's retro, conspiracy Pizza at its best. Cameos include Bessie Bardot, JFK, Marilyn Monroe and Bruce Lee.
