"I just today saw the show "sammy" was an arrogant pompous ass and by the end of the show I thought he didnt deserve to succeed

It's one thing to make pizza, just hire an illegal alien to make it for you and go play golf.

Cooking real Italian food is an art and requires talent. "Sammy" knows nothing about art and has no talent expect in the area

Hey Tara! I know this is an old post but I had add that Beckie and I really like Sabatiello's (way before the show)

Do you know where he is setting up shop? We could definitely use another good pizza option.

Stacey j - very small world, yeah my dad owned Hen Hud Pizza back in the day and later Settembre's restaurant when I was growing up. I was born in Peekskill and also moved to Connecticut, but during my highschool years. Thanks for stopping by here :)

It was painful to watch. He really tore Sammy apart. I went to dinner with 8 people last Saturday after the show premiered and the food and service was great.

Wow, I was wondering if that could be true! I grew up in Settembre's (all varieties *LOL*). I grew up in Peekskill/Cortlandt Manor and went to Hen Hud H.S. My dad was very fond of your dad! Now, I live in Fairfield, CT.

Small world, huh?

Just watched the show. I hope it helps out the business!

Out of dire curiosity, is this Settembre family related to the Settembre's (Benny, et al.) who owned various pizza restaurants in the Peekskill/Croton areas of New York?

I saw part of the show last night. Looks like a nice resteraunt and Gordon did have some nice things to say. I did not see the end. I hope it all works out for your uncle. Sometimes the "tough love" is what is needed!

I think he did well on there and it didn't come out too rough.

Let's hope it helps his business. EVERYONE, go visit Sabatiello's in Stamford, CT :-)

I'll cross my fingers too...I agree with b though. It's tough - when you go on a show like that, you have to realize they might try to much your buttons. Yikes!

How cool! I'll cross my fingers for him! And on a side note, Penna a la Vodka is my all-time favorite Italian dish. Yum!

Ooh, I hope everything goes well and works out for your Uncle! I think when you sign up for a show like this though you should expect for them to try and push your buttons and what not.
