Fat Pizza Back In Business

From Tuesday 5 November at 8:30 pm

FAT PIZZA , the award-winning action comedy about the perils of life as a pizza delivery guy is opening shop with a new season on 7MATE.

Having developed its urban street humour and cutting slapstick satire over six seasons and two feature films, creator and series lead, comedian PAULY FENECH says fans can expect “political incorrectness at its best” when the original FAT PIZZA crew return in the upcoming season, FAT PIZZA: BACK IN BUSINESS on 7MATE.

FAT PIZZA is one of the boldest Aussie comedies on television,” says Fenech of the multicultural and multi-generational program featuring some of Australia’s sharpest upcoming comedians. “Get set for bigger and cheesier storylines straight from the headlines. Social media trolls, get ready to rumble!”

Fenech reprises his lead role of Pauly Falzoni, former pizza delivery boy now boss, trying to rebuild the infamous Fat Pizza restaurant in the notorious suburb of Hashfield.

Struggling to get his business up and running, Pauly finds himself fighting with councils, street gangs, politicians and a new foe, the world of app driven delivery services.

With underpaid workers and a pizza chef struggling with English, Pauly’s business dreams quickly turn into a living nightmare.

Reuniting with Fenech in the new season are fan favourites MARIA VENUTI (Mama), PAUL NAKAD (Sleek) and JOHNNY BOXER (Bobo). Housos characters Shazza ( ELLE DAWE ) Vanessa ( VANESSA DAVIS ) and Kev the Kiwi ( KEV TAUMATA ) will also feature.

The series also features a stellar guest cast including; BRENDAN JONES, JEAN KITTSON, ANTHONY MUNDINE, ANGRY ANDERSON, HOLLY BRISLEY, MELISSA TKAUTZ, CHRIS FRANKLIN, GARRY WHO and GEORGE KAPINIARIS.

New characters introduced this series include; Chef Jin Pin ( JOE JUNE ), Jayden, the proud bogan Aussie ( PETER CHIDIAC ) and Mexican rapper Tuco Swarez ( MERO VAGO D’CORA ).

I wonder if there will be as much swearing like when it was on SBS. I’m surprised this show isn’t on SBS again. 7 must have paid him more or something i dunno.

" the world of app driven delivery services." - Good idea for modernising it .

Lol you know it’s on 7 as they have an ex Home and Away guest star on it Holly Brisley who played Amanda. Interesting. Overall cast looks decent.

Yeah no. So many people have been on Home and Away over the years. Don’t think ‘that’ was any reason whatsoever for this - just a coincidence.

It’s at 8:30pm, so if Seven give it MA15+ uncut then it’ll be fine (it’s only movies where it’s not before 9pm)

Update
Yep, it’ll be MA, as indicated by the bug on the latest promo. So expect the same about of harsh swearing, etc

Fenech has done a few shows for 7mate over the past few years (namely the ‘Bogan Hunters’ series) so it’s probably a continuation of that relationship

SBS don’t reboot old shows and live in the past. They prefer to be innovators and create new shows.

In time for the cricket test at the SCG?

why would the Sydney Test be on 7 MATE HD?

7mate going HD on January 1 may not be for the SCG test, but for BBL matches at night.

So 7 can air the News at 6pm and the cricket can continue in HD on 7mate?

Afternoon WBBL cricket must’ve gone overtime today, as 7mate is running about 6min overtime from EPG?

Any idea if yesterday’s new episode of Fat Pizza was the last?

Seven didn’t label it as a final episode but at this point there are no more episodes scheduled for this year.

It felt like the last one. Ended with a “to be continued…” unlike the first three. The follow-up programs (Pauly’s Shorts, Fat Pizza movie and an encore of the first three episodes) suggests it was the last, too.

It’s a shame. I was just getting back into it too. :frowning:
