In Videos: Watch 'Pizza: The Movie' Here

20090417-pizzamovie.jpg

If you missed Pizza: The Movie last week on the Documentary Channel—or, if you're like me and don't have the channel—the folks there have put the movie online in its entirety. Clocking in at more than an hour, it's a long one. So grab some slices, sit back, and enjoy.

A warning: If you're looking for pizza history or some really in-depth info about the most-renown names in the pizza world, there's only a little bit of that in this doc (quick interviews with Dom DeMarco, Chris Bianco, and the late Ed LaDou). It focuses mainly on the world of competitive pizza-tossing.

Ugh, those tools who do the dough spinning nonsense are just glorified jugglers. Actually, I don't know of anyone who glorifies it, so I guess they're just jugglers. Maybe I'll start a 'World Champion Burger Flipping Team' who just flips burgers really fast, maybe flips them through a basketball hoop or something. Would be about as relevant to food as the dough tossers.

that was fun to watch! thanks!

I'm with ratbuddy. Boring!

If I want to see jugglers, I'll just go down to the lakefront.

This documentary's style reminded a lot of another one entitled "King of Kong," which centralized around competitive Donkey Kong players. Both do a great job of showing the true competitiveness of these things.

what a joke of a movie. about 5% of that was worth watching (you guys know which parts)

Very Very disppointing, while there were a few great clips, Di Fara's, Escape from NY Pizza etc., this movie is about pizza fights and pizza tossing competitions. Not really worth the 1 hour plus time to watch and glean out the pizza nuggets.

I really liked that, very entertaining. Except one thing, that goes pizza tattoo they showed during the credits? One of the ugliest things I've ever seen in my life.
