Paolini’s Pizza is Bigger Than Yours!
While writing an article about my local television stations, I stumbled on a commercial for Paolini’s, an Italian eatery which may or may not have become Cup of Joe’s – Paolini’s Family Restaurant. Said commercial is…well, you’d have to see it to believe it.
Paolini’s sells its pizzas as being made with “homemade dough” and “100% mozzarella.” Wow, homemade dough? That’s quite the USP, Paolini’s. The commercial is complete amateur hour, even by 1989 standards.
I like how the owner of the joint pretends to buy a pizza from one of the cooks. Said cook shakes the owner’s hand, then continues spinning pizza dough. I’m sure it’s a demonstration for the camera, but geez.
Other commercials, station bumpers and other ephemera can be found at Retrontario’s awesome YouTube account. Fans of local New York/Ontario television will enjoy these clips, a reminder of how fun local television was before it was mashed into a bland paste.
Hi,
Maybe he could change the name to Lyu Chin Pizza to make it more actual…
Best regards,
José
