There is no better birthday present...

then to be appointed
as manager of the family business.

From childhood
Juliato's has been my life.

I could barely make dough then,
let alone run a business.

My dreams were bigger
than my knowledge.

I am honored for the family tradition
to continue...

to make the best pizza
on this side of Chicago.

And our traditional
developing Italian ambiance...

to a stylish
soul-lifting dining experience.

You're forgetting one thing, Riley.

You must be our competitor
Romano's Pizza keep crushing.

Every generation of Juliato
does one thing well:

The inferior pizzas
van Romano's.

But we also have to take care of it now
that the new pizza chain Pizza Den...

also know that we have the best pizzeria
being of the city.

Will you promise me that?
-Of course.

Nice. Happy birthday.

Let's go eat.

Riley, my beautiful cousin, as manager.

I've never felt so proud
to be a Juliato.

Thank you, Declan.

When entrepreneurs...
-No advertising your jewelry here.

Then well, we're family.

The models of my engagement rings
fit perfectly over the exit.

Okay, it was worth a try.

I'm really happy for you
and for this restaurant. It's great...

but it's time
to put your stamp on it.

Thank you. That means a lot to me.

This is the chance to
of this cozy eatery...

to make a gastropub that even
draws people from the center.

Can I talk to you?

That was a nice speech.
-Thank you, mom.

But...
-I felt it coming.

When your father and I succeeded your grandfather,
I also had big plans.

Change some little things
like the font of the menu...

or a new dish every few years.
Tradition keeps this restaurant alive.

hold on to that,
then Juliato's will survive.

Evanstown has charm.

I love New York.
I'm from there...

but the air smells here
like apple pie and pine scent.

Is that positive?
-Sure, maybe I'll stay here.

Do you run my family's pizzeria?
Then I'm going back to New York.

Sounds tempting.
But I do change the menu.

Hello, Bradley. Got a lot on you, Shane?
-A few boxes.

Nice here, maybe I'll stay a while.
-Do that. Nice of you to bring Shane.

He's coming Romano's
restore it to its former glory.

Bring that in.
- Go ahead.

No unnecessary changes.

Why not change too much too quickly?

More is needed, if we want...

My balloons.

My phone.

Shane Romano?
-Riley Juliato. I last saw you...

when you gave the farewell speech
high school. Worth a six.

That you even got that degree.
-That turned out to be necessary to move on.

You were in New York, weren't you?
-Beats.

I invest in successful restaurants.

A Romano with successful
restaurants. That is unique.

Worried about Pizza Den?
-No.

Every new case has in the beginning
a lot of traffic. That is normal.

They are more focused on the future
than you and us.

It's a trend.
We have tradition on our side.

You said: You and us.
Does that mean...

That I'm a manager now
from Romano's Pizza.

I was appointed today
to manager of Juliato's.

Congratulations, you've been wanting that since...
-The kindergarten.

I'm sorry about your balloons.
-Does not matter.

But you owe me.

What's up, Jeannie?

Just call me Riley, not boss.
-Okay, boss... Riley.

Sorry this is happening on your first day.
The butcher's delivery has been delayed.

So it's coming a little later?
-Tomorrow.

Hello, come in.

All the meat is gone.

Get the pizzas and pastas
with meat from the menu...

and give them half-price soda.
-They also supply the soda.

I'm going to arrange meat and soda.
You keep it running here.

All right, boss... Riley.

I have soda and meat.

Jeannie, what are you doing in the kitchen?

Jerry and Christine are sick.

I'll cook, you do the service.

And ask Rick to fill in,
even if it is his day off.

And another thing: the men's toilet is clogged.
-I'll take care of that in a minute.

Uncle Tony, when does it start
the lunch rush?

About half past seven.

That's for dinner.

We still get the most
income from the dinners.

We do little
to attract lunch crowd.

That is not true. We are open,
but rather come back tonight.

This is exactly what I mean.

People come here to dine
and they always order the same:

a good classic pizza.

We're just lazy.
-As a manager you hurt me now.

We can't make it if we're alone
to our regular customers.

That sounds like a lot of work.

Listen.

Do you want to lose even more customers?
to Pizza Den?

Or Juliato's?
-No, not that.

I didn't think so either.
So work to do.

Glad you wanted to come sooner
to help. I'm exhausted.

It's lonely at the top.
-If only I were alone more often.

Then I got to my plans.

Cologne and Aachen are not
built in one day.

Do you only talk in sayings?

Yes, until you come along
on that double date tonight.

I'm tired and I have so much to do.
-Those who eat less live longer.

That makes no sense,
you just want me to eat with you.

Anger can be an expensive luxury.

Tell me about him.

A very handsome guy from New York.
Not ten, but eleven.

He paid for my coffee
when I met him in line.

And that friend I saw a trite
need to have a conversation?

I don't know, but he seemed nice.
-How do you know if you don't know him?

I can not.

A ship is safe in the harbor,
but it's not built for that.

All right, I'll go with you.
But you owe me.

Fortunately, I didn't know any proverbs
more. Or are they sayings?

I do not know what it is,
but this one feels like the one.

You've said that many times.
-I have never...

What was his name again? Dave.

"I think he's the one."
After one date.

His smile was so telling.
-Don't go too fast now.

In love and war all is permitted.
-Love is patient.

I hear you.

They're here.

Good to see you again, Declan.

Hello, Bradley.

You must be Riley.
-Nice to meet you.

Likewise.
This is my best friend Shane.

Riley Juliato, there you are again.

You forgot my balloons.
-Damn.

Said it was Shane.
-I didn't know that was necessary.

Riley recently
manager of Juliato's Pizza.

Romano's biggest competitor.

Then you can eat together, right?

It's a feud
that has lasted four generations.

Our great grandfather Peter was the best
friend of Shane's great grandfather Gino.

They worked in Chicago
as emerging chefs at Chi-Town Pizza.

That sounds familiar.

The best pizza restaurant in Chicago.

So your families have been friends for years.
-Not really.

Their friendship ended when she
both settled in Evanstown.

They both opened a pizzeria
and our families became rivals.

I just had to go.

Me, too.
-No, sit down.

You have only worked.
If you don't relax, your work suffers.

That also applies to you.

This is a good restaurant.
You can probably learn something here.

Order good food and contemplate it
as relaxed research.

You know what they say: Cherish
your enemies more than your friends.

What a beautiful metaphor.
-Or is it a proverb, or saying?

I never know what the difference is.

Never thought I would ever New York
deserted, but this little town is enchanting.

You become easy
in love, they say.

Why is he here again?
-He brought me.

You have so many restaurants successful
renewed. Why did you come back?

At the request of my parents. They fear
losing out to Pizza Den.

The restaurant needs to be modernized
and become more accessible and…

Does not matter. I'm back.

No white tablecloths would help though.
-Thanks for the advice.

My family is also afraid of Pizza Den.

We can beat them if we
becoming a sophisticated gastropub...

and get mentions
in culinary blogs.

Then do something
those dry pizza bases.

Your tomato sauce tastes
to cheap dipping sauce.

Don't argue, kids.
-It was just getting cozy.

Riley turns Juliato's into a gastropub.
- Shane is the best at that.

He stomps for every kitchen
a gastropub from scratch.

Real? Do you have that too
done with pizza restaurants?

Not that I know.

Riley knows more about Italian
restaurants than anyone else.

Maybe you can
exchange ideas.

Maybe I better go.
- Please, stay both.

I have to go too.
Declan, nice to see you.

Pizza Den is going to win this,
if they don't help each other.

What does the past matter.

Thomas Jefferson once said:

I prefer to dream of the future
than looking at the past.

What a beautiful expression.
Or is it a metaphor?

Or just a quote?
-Does not matter to me.

If you like it.

What happened here?

Looks crazy, right?
-Otherwise.

No more orders at the counter.

There is a new table system.
We are now taking orders at the table.

Everyone always ordered at the counter.
-That is over.

I have added new dishes.
These are the flavor profiles.

Ask the cooks if they have a chat now and then
come and interact with the guests.

What expensive words.
-I invited Sharon O'Brien.

The culinary critic?
-She's coming for a late lunch.

Is that wise now that you just
everything is changing?

It seems like the perfect time.

We're going to do it.

Uncle Tony, this is for you.

Here, put on and praise outside
our new lunch menu.

Flashy.

No more ordering at the counter.
Have a seat. Someone like that comes to you.

Everything okay at Sharon O'Brien's table?

Is that her?

I dropped her pizza
and misdescribed her wine.

Uncle Tony, what are you doing?
You didn't hand out any menu.

Sorry, there will be daytime
few people passed.

Lunch is a tricky one.
But don't give up hope.

I'm going crazy.

A once successful,
cozy Italian family restaurant...

now pretends to be a gastropub.

Can existing pizzerias
the competition with Pizza Den?

It doesn't look like it.

Oh, it's you.

Yes I'ts me. Can I sit down?

Go ahead.

Sorry about that dinner.

I had a lot on my mind. And I was disappointed
because I actually had work to do.

I get it. I accept your apology
if you accept mine too.

Good.

Do you miss New York already?

Yes a bit.

Have you never wanted to leave here?
-Sometimes.

But I would miss Juliato's so much.

The smell of the pizzas in the oven
and families enjoying a meal together...

and have an unforgettable time.

Even on a quiet evening
I don't want to be anywhere else.

I know that sounds stupid.

No, on the contrary. You are passionate
restaurateur with heart for the business.

Have you thought yet
about what Bradley and Declan said?

That we should help each other?
Our families must never know.

But how would
look like a collaboration?

Is this because of that bad review?
-Did you read it?

Sharon O'Brien was not a fan
from your gastropub.

That bit about dropping it
food was funny, but also embarrassing.

Your uncle was walking around
dressed as a pizza slice, I heard.

That was done wrong.

We both had some off days.

Theoretically...

could i help you from
turn your restaurant into a gastropub...

where people
good things about writing.

And theoretically
can i teach you...

how to keep your restaurant cozy
and make it accessible.

And make a better sauce.
-No, then that pizza base of yours.

You've been gone way too long
to know what a good soil is.

This won't work.
-Guard.

I'm sorry.

You're right.
I'll do anything for my business.

Even teaming up with a Romano
to face Pizza Den.

I need your help
and I think you mine too.

Especially at the food festival soon.

You're right.
That's where the whole city comes in.

Good. Do you take your comment
back on my sauce?

Only if you're sorry
of your criticism of my soil.

Do we have a deal?

It looks like we're going to do it.

You will see that we can beat them.

Think of it as research.
-We don't do it for fun.

Can I help you?

Good evening, ma'am.
-Tell me Jessica.

Miss Jessica.
- No, just Jessica.

Just Jessica, what do you recommend?

This is a restaurant,
so food, i would say.

Can we sit down ourselves, or...

You have to reserve a table
and we are full.

You can sit at the bar
or pick up outside.

Do you have to order first to pick up?

Which can. You can also order
of the small map.

That takes fifteen minutes
and you can have a drink in the meantime.

Smart thinking.
- What is the turnover of that collection counter?

I have no idea.

We'll find a place ourselves.

You don't ask her about the turnover, do you?
-You call her Mrs.

Pizza Den, authentic Italian.
Go away.

It's an insult to the Italian
culture, but it is full.

Good Lord.

Look at those prices.

How can they earn on this?
And so much choice.

And three different Happy Hours,
there is no competition for that.

No, that won't work.

Their ingredients look
really not fresh out.

You're right.

The food is no better. Will they win it
just because they are cheap?

The decoration is boring and old-fashioned.

I thought they were in this little town
had more flavor.

We are lost.

Come on, get out of here.

That was discouraging.
-What do people like about this?

That pickup counter is smart.

Can one of us beat them?

Not only.

This sounds crazy, but listen.

Now if we agree
officially cooperate.

You know everything about pizzas,
I like entrepreneurship.

Juliato's will be the fancy restaurant
and Romano's the takeaway.

Then we are unstoppable.

Yes, just a generational one
put rivalries overboard.

I mean it seriously.
-Me, too. That's never going to work.

That rivalry is useful
as a selling point.

If we have two locations with a
slightly different, but solid concept...

we beat them.
We're a good team.

Even if our families
miraculously agree...

I still doubt.
-Why?

I've wanted Juliato's all my life
run my way.

I worked towards this
and now you're crushing my vision of the future.

This can really succeed.
-But I...

Is that your Uncle Tony?

Who runs Romano's then?

Tony.

We are closed for lunch
until I come up with something.

Nice to be free for a while.

No problem. Enjoy it.
-I want to take painting lessons.

Great. I didn't know you could.
- No, hence the lessons.

Naturally. Good luck.
-Thank you.

It's dark behind.

Those sunglasses don't help.

Why does everyone think that a cap
and sunglasses work as a disguise?

Would anyone have recognized me?

No, sure.
-Nice.

It feels crazy to be here.

Are that you
great-great-great-great-grandparents?

Yes. Crazy, isn't it?
-No, that's scary.

You want to make it more accessible, don't you?
-That's right.

So why the white tablecloths?
- We always have.

Get rid of the tablecloths.

Where is your approach
Mr Entrepreneur?

For someone else
you take risks more easily.

I would find that much scarier.

Your family is not happy
with your changes, I understand.

They don't run away with it.
-But that doesn't stop you?

My family has been doing everything the same for years.
You can do that at Romano's...

That is debatable.

If we don't beat Pizza Den,
Isn't that a lack of creativity?

So get rid of those tablecloths.

Do you want something to drink?

You scared me.

I had to come back.
-I didn't hear you.

Without sunglasses you walk in a dark
kitchen not everywhere.

Pizza is on the counter.

Tasty sauce.
-Is that a compliment?

Yes, but I also have comments
that you don't like very much.

You use the sandwich method.

I? No.

Yes, you start with praise, then you come
with the constructive criticism...

followed by even more praise,
so that I feel good.

That is an effective method.

What's your second compliment?
-I could park easily.

The sandwich method does not work,
That's what my business teacher told me.

I learned something else
during my MBA education.

Okay, what's your criticism?

Where shall I begin.
First of all this wine.

You order it if you don't know anything about wine,
because of the price tag.

What do you know about wine.
-I can ask you that too.

How do you envision a gastropub?

It's trendy, chic, with good music...

and knowledgeable staff.

With those light bulbs and a
menu with a stylish font.

You're kidding me.

That's the stereotypical image
of an upmarket gastropub.

Trying to imitate that is pointless.

That was Sharon O'Brien's criticism.
-Forget her.

New York didn't like her either. She is
a foodie pretending to be an expert.

What did the successful gastropubs do
what you invested in or good?

They made no effort. If it
seems too forced, it won't work.

You have to put in a little effort, don't you?

But keep your own identity.
That makes it unique.

What are we doing here?
-Find unique decoration for Juliato's.

And I like it
among other people's things?

Yeah, cool stuff right?

Go all the trendy New York restaurants
for second hand?

There is one that goes for sustainable with
second-hand decoration only. Crazy.

Was the food good?
-Not great, but it is a unique tent.

I do not know.

Fancy restaurants are not
predictable, they are authentic.

There's a story behind it.

Do you want me to propagate the Juliato story?

No, follow your intuition. You should
carry out the Riley Juliato story.

How about this?

See, this reminds me
on our trips to the city.

To Luca's, that's where we pick up
our parmesan and chilli flakes.

On the way there
My father told all kinds of stories.

That's how I taught him
and know my mother better.

That is a beautiful story.

Nowadays we just order.

We do have an agreement
that he should never deliver to Romano's.

So put that out of your mind.
-That's too bad.

Why are you putting it on?
-Don't you like it?

He's too small. You try.

What are you doing?

See. Perfect.

Yes, totally my style.

Look a little further.

A hot dog, please.

Give me a hamburger with fries.

Wait, are you Shane Romano?

No, this is my college friend
Jack Calzone.

No. I recognize you anyway.
-Not really. Can we have our drinks?

You're not Shane Romano.
-But that's my name.

Not if you're with me.

This collaboration inspires
perhaps to a forbidden love.

You promised to keep it a secret.
-I know. I'm just teasing you.

Have you really been here ten years
have not been?

No, the last time was
with Daisy Finster in my senior year.

Daisy Finster.
-That was a nice girl.

She used to tease me about my backpack.

Because you had one of those wheeled backpacks.

That was practical.
-And everyone laughed about it.

I wasn't as popular as you
mister basketball player.

I played football.

Daisy Finster.
- Were your dates that much better?

Let's talk about now.

If you tell me who you dated first.

I can't mention a name.
-Why not?

I had no boyfriends
in high school.

Sorry, I did not know that.
-It does not matter.

Let me say this...

Please.

All those guys have
missed their chance.

Thank you.
-Don't mention it.

Enjoy your meal.

I forgot how delicious this is.

So simple, but delicious.

Sure, but why are we here?

You want to make Romanos more accessible.

Lower threshold than
this hot dog stand is not here.

I can't argue with that.
-And I was craving a hot dog.

Why are you taking me to town?

I want to show you something.

But only if you promise
that you don't use it for Romano's.

Do you want me to take a blood oath?

Seriously.
-Good, I promise.

Giuseppe, I was just
on the way to your store.

Miss Juliato, was the delivery wrong?
-Everything was fine.

I'm here with my friend...
-Jack Calzone.

You must be the owner of Luca's.

I hear a lot about your parmesan
and chili flakes.

Straight for 70 years
delivered to us from Italy.

I want to give Jack a test sample
to try it yourself.

Here, take this.
-Are you sure?

The Juliato's have been a customer for so long,
that something can be done for free.

Thank you, Giuseppe.
-Don't mention it.

Beat Pizza Den,
like you beat Romano's.

Nice to meet you, Jack.
-Likewise.

He sounds quite biased.
-Yes, and I love that.

What's the secret to this?

Drizzle some over the sauce
and then mozzarella on top.

That makes it tougher.

I can't wait to...
-Forget what I said.

You promised, Mr. Romano.

Agreed to meet.

I haven't been here in a long time.

Remember that field trip
to the art exhibition?

Tony Tulario smuggled
an easel and paint supplies.

He put on a beret
and pretended to be a painter.

He put down a bowl and got money.
-I had forgotten that.

The attendants were so angry.

What's the plan for the rest of the day?

I have no plan. It seemed fine to me
to relax a bit...

before the food festival starts.

When was the last time
that you had no plan?

I wouldn't know.
Becoming a manager was always my plan.

Impressive how you dream
pursues. You can be proud.

Do you have a dream?

I wanted to be an artist someday.
-Real?

I tried painting
that was nothing.

Do you like art?

Baking pizza is an art, so basically
I've been making art all my life.

I thought it was funny.

Sorry, this is so weird too.
I feel like a tourist in my own city.

Tourist you say? Come with me.

Who buys something like that?

I like that idea.

Okay, explain.

It may sound tacky, but for us
as pizza sellers this is good right?

Bad pun.

So you don't want a T-shirt?

No thanks.

But I want to ask you something.

What do you think of the New York pizza?
-I like them.

Why that battle?
I don't think they are comparable.

What do you mean?

A Chicago pizza tastes like home.

It may sound tacky...

but as a fan
the Chicago pizza I agree with you.

Crazy that our grandfathers worked here together.
-Before they became rivals.

Do you still feel like a tourist?
-No, less.

Especially now that I have this parmesan
and chili flakes.

I wouldn't worry
even though you've been gone for a long time.

You are a natural. You become
a very good restaurant manager.

I dreaded a day off, but it
it's nice to have some rest.

Yes, no people and hassle for a while.

Quick, hide.

That's Declan and Bradley.

Would they have seen us?

No, I don't think so.

They bought such a T-shirt.

Yes, quite nice. If you are a tourist.

That brings me to an idea.
Do you have time for one more thing?

Those T-shirts made me have to wear
the uniform of your staff.

That is not a uniform, but suggested
clothes that everyone should wear.

A uniform, then?

OK, you're right.

Hold on. Look around you.

What do you see?

A couple on their first date.
Or second, maybe.

What are they wearing?

something easy,
even though it's pretty neat.

Precisely.
-No uniform. I get it.

No black shirts,
that's more from your grandfather's time.

Good point.

If your staff feel comfortable,
the customers feel the same way.

That makes sense.

Are you ready for the food festival?

Yes, I heard that Pizza Den
also has a stall.

I heard that too.

Are you dreading it?
-No not at all.

You?

I'm in the same position as you.
So no, not really.

My whole family is there.
-Mine too.

But I'm ready.

And you too.
-Absolute.

I was cut out for it.

I had a nice day.

Yes, me too.

I almost forgot that we are rivals.
-Me, too.

Thanks again for this.

Even my rival deserves the best
parmesan and chili flakes from the city.

Good luck tomorrow, Jack Calzone.

Thank you. You too.

Thank you and goodbye.

Riley, this looks great.

It's Juliato's,
but new and cool.

How did you get here?

I've decided to keep to myself.
-That sounds good.

What about stock?
-I got meat and lemonade.

So you're fine?
-Yes, great.

Fantastic.

Something is different about you.
-What then?

You are always cheerful
but you seem happier.

Wait, did you take our advice?
Do you work with...

Grandpa Earl.
-Hello, Riley. What does it look different.

I have our favorite elements
keep it in my own style.

And you have supplemented the menu.
Sink paste.

Is that that mixed bag
that I used to make for you?

It sells huge.
-I do not get it. Is that chic enough?

Is this decor restaurant-like enough?
-Character is better than showing off.

A lot of changes.
-We're doing better than Pizza Den.

But so are Romanos.

Have A Nice Day.

Tony, you seem to be enjoying it.
-Finally away from those pizza slices.

And we chop Pizza Den in the pan.
-Absolute.

But not Juliato's.

Mom, Dad, welcome.
-How can we beat Juliatos?

Uncle Tony, you get a glass of wine
for my mother?

Mom, look around.
This is great isn't it?

Anyway, it's different
than our family business used to do.

It's very informal. Then put
at least white tablecloths down.

Thanks, Uncle Tony.
- Please, Lisa.

Mom, this is a good move.

People like it.
We get new customers.

Hi, Mr and Mrs R.
-Bradley, are you still there?

I have a rental contract.
-You really like it here.

Many people, my girlfriend.
I'm going to meet her family.

I'm nervous.
-Who is she?

Declan...
Declan Jules. Nice girl.

She's a vet.
-No, she's a jeweler.

Can I talk to you?
-Sure.

Why would they be interested?
-They don't like the Juliatos.

Worked hard. Nice to see
that you roll up your sleeves.

Did you do this yourself?

Uncle Tony worked hard.

You followed our advice,
you work with Riley.

Do you like her?
-Get out, hurry up.

Grandpa Earl, Aunt Faye,
I want to introduce you to someone.

This is Bradley.
- Pleasant, Bradley.

Likewise. My best friend
also has a pizza restaurant.

In New York City. That's where he comes from.
-How do you know that? He's just introducing himself.

That's what Declan told me.

Fifty percent off Pizza Den?
-Shows.

Where is everyone going?
Discount at Pizza Den?

Can I take a break?
-Don't, Uncle Tony.

Why don't we?
- Then we lose a lot of money.

Can I come and sit here?

Having an off day?
-How can we compete with those prices?

Not.

Your popup looked good.
You made something nice out of it.

I wish my family thought so too.
- Didn't they like it?

No. They said I spend more time
to the feng shui than to the food.

My parents looked disappointed.
- Was it that bad?

That look left me wanting nothing more
to do with pizzerias.

I don't want to disappoint them.
The pressure is too great.

Hey, you've made tremendous progress
in such a short time.

You are a natural.
Don't get discouraged too quickly.

Thank you. The hardest part is still
that I'm starting to like it.

Taking a gamble with someone else's company
wasn't it easier?

That's right, but that's not nearly as much fun.

Don't listen to your family.
Believe in your ideas.

Like the restaurateurs in New York
were so driven, they would flourish.

You have to take care of your family
can't get around it. I will help you.

I will allow that, on condition
that you keep trusting yourself.

Agreed to meet.

Crazy, isn't it, about Riley and Declan?

She has already introduced him
to her family. That's fast.

Well, huh? Soon they will go
still engaged.

To know which dish
which wine goes with, you have to taste.

Are you a sommelier?
-I know about it.

Taste this Syrah with a bite of pizza.

They fit well together.
-Not even a tenner per bottle.

These are good, underrated ones
wines to taste.

It's chic, without showing off.
-Precisely.

Your dough smells delicious
and it's not even baked yet.

How is that possible?
-You haven't tasted the crust yet.

Okay, come on.

Look at that.

Lots of cheese.
- Just a little bit more.

OK, I'll be right back.

The pizza is in the oven.

Did you outbid Giuseppe?
-Excuse me?

Or did you use your alias Jack Calzone?
-Your idea.

You secretly bought it. You'd
do not use cheese-chili flakes.

I didn't either.
- Then what is this?

Wine? From 1948?

From Italy?

Yes. went in that year
Romanos and Juliatos open.

Giuseppe gave me advice.
A gift for the reopening.

That was a special gift.
-I thought so too.

I'm sorry. After all...
-You want to impress your family.

Yes. And you know that
because you try too.

Listen, this can only succeed
if we trust each other.

OK, you were right.
I'm sorry.

Do you forgive me?

No not yet.

That smells great.

Okay, that crust...

Wow.

But the sauce...

He can handle it, but he can do better.

Good. And I haven't even
using your secret cheese chilli flakes.

I get that they don't
dare to ask her parents.

She just took over the company...
I get it.

What a view.

But we can work well together.
She is persistent and smart...

Imagine yourself here
drink coffee every morning.

I couldn't do this without her.
-You like her.

What are we doing here?
-I'm going to buy this.

To buy?
-This is awesome.

Come tonight at seven
to Waterfront Station.

Why?
-Surprise. But come dressed nicely.

I think it's a great idea.

You tell Grandpa I want to merge
with our rivals.

As long as it makes a profit.
I think you don't dare.

How so?
-Because you like Shane.

It's purely business.
-He looks good.

Maybe. I...
No, I don't see him that way.

I don't have time for this. Come on
seven hours to Waterfront Station.

That's not possible.
-Put on a dress. That beautiful red.

Declan, I mean it.
-Bye, niece.

Declan, come on.
-See you tonight.

invite the bride and groom
Mr Romano and Ms Juliato out

What are you doing here?

Hi, I mean. You look...

You look... too.

Bradley invited me.
-And Declan invited me.

Invite the bride and groom
Mr Romano and Ms Juliato from...

to raise a glass together.

The bridal couple?
That's why he bought a house.

Ladies go first.

Hey guys. How nice that you are here.

Glad we could come.
You look beautiful.

Wait a second. Are you married?
-No, how do you get there?

That "Bride and Groom" sign.
-We are engaged.

You know each other
just a few weeks.

Time flies.
-We want you to witness.

So this is really going to happen?
-Yes.

What did Grandpa Earl say about it?

That we're going too fast.
-Isn't that bothering you?

Yes. But I have to follow my heart.

Sometimes you have to trust yourself
and take the plunge.

Well said.

It's crazy, but it also has something.

Who are you with
went to prom?

The prom. Who did you go with?

With friends. We are as a group
gone, that was less depressing.

Was it fun?
-Yes, it was great fun.

You had to hold the girls
knock off you.

I did not go. Daisy has me
dumped for someone else the night before.

I've got all night
listened to music.

Do you want to Dance?
I can request some howling music.

Good.

Hi Riley.
-Hi, Gary. Everything alright at home?

Dima, what beautiful flowers.

Do you know everyone here?
-Not everyone.

OK, everyone.

Hi Jim.
-I have new homemade fudge.

Friend of Riley, you go first.

Nice huh?

Not now, we're busy.
Another time.

He's nice, but his fudge is gross.
-Indeed.

Maybe this tastes better.
-What are they?

Tomatoes. You know
what are tomatoes?

Yes I know.

The secret ingredient of our sauce.
My family has been using them for years.

Why are you showing that?
-To forget about those nasty toffees.

Not the best grades, girl.

The takeover is only a month away
past. It takes time.

But when I look around like this, I recognize
my restaurant no more.

In order to survive,
we have to move with the times.

When I took over the business
I replaced the windows.

Your parents own the kitchen
to replace.

Small things. That was enough.

But this?

This is a bit much.

You have to trust me, grandpa.

If you want Romano's and Pizza Den
we can't go on like this.

Maybe we should make adjustments
turn back and back to square one.

Have a nice evening, see you tomorrow.
-Good evening.

What are you doing here?
-Have a look at the changes.

Okay. Are you hungry?
-Yes. And I would like one of those.

Hunger and thirst.

This is delicious.
-Is not it? Because of the new tomatoes.

I must admit you were right.

We are a good team together.

Yes I agree.

Imagine. How would it go
if we combined our businesses?

Wait a second...
-I'm just thinking out loud.

If that were the case, we would
need to create a new menu.

Your business becomes the restaurant
and my business the pick up place.

And hopefully we'll chase Pizza Den away.
-That sounds good.

But do you know...

I never look at things hypothetically.

I need to do some things
so take a break until dinner.

Can I stay here?
-No, go have lunch.

But I usually eat here. Free.

Here. Don't go to Pizza Den with it.

Okay, boss. Riley.

Do you want to turn the sign right away?
-Sure.

Bye.

The coast is clear.
-Sure? Nice.

Look, the R stands for the J.
-That's a typo.

I have all the hypothetical steps
written down that you mentioned.

That's fantastic. Thank you.

The first step. A new name.
I like RandJ...

I was thinking Peter and Gino's.
-Crazy.

90 percent of your menu can go.
-Not really.

You can keep the bread and pesto.
And you get to make the wine list.

May I? You want that.

That is true, yes.

Do you know what to do?
Granted my crust is tastier.

Fine, if you admit
that my sauce is tastier.

We don't have to admit anything.
We'll use my crust and your sauce.

Agreed to meet.

If you write "top secret" on everything,
it's no longer a secret.

The dough ingredients, Romano.
-It's no secret.

There's some flower on it.

OK, I trust you.
-You are the pizza expert.

How wonderful it smells.

That's good technique.
-Are you okay with that?

And put it down.

Move on.

The sauce.

Cheese.

Time for Luca's cheese chilli flakes.

A little bit of this.

Nice. He goes into the oven.
Are you nervous?

No. You?

No.

Maybe a little.

Holy shit, that smells delicious.
-Is not it?

Your sauce, my crust.
Approach.

The moment of truth, Romano.

Watch out, it's hot.

Jeez...
-Is it so dirty?

This is the tastiest pizza
that I've ever tasted.

You are kidding me.
We did it.

Hi Lisa.
-Where's Shane?

He had to arrange some things.
He didn't know if he could come.

Why not?
It will be full here in two hours.

He's been gone a lot lately.
-Oh yeah?

The ingredients for the dough
are almost finished.

Something's going on.

Hey, where's Riley?

She's sitting there.

Mom, Grandpa.

This is delicious.
-I want to eat everything at once.

Both businesses must close for a week
to customize everything.

Have you spoken to the advertising agency?
-Yes, they're ready.

Leaflets, signs, digital. Everything.

Pizza Den is shocked.
-Exciting.

Almost forgot. This is for you.

Did you buy this?
-Let's see if it looks good on you too.

And? How do I look?
-Very distinguished.

As the manager of Peter and Gino's.
-We'll be co-managers.

You've been working towards this all your life.
You deserve that title.

I don't know what to say.
-Say yes.

But what will your role be then?
-What you want.

I was very afraid that my parents wanted to
that I would run Romano's.

I don't want to disappoint my loved ones.

When I left, I hoped
that I wouldn't think about it anymore.

When they asked me back
I got nervous.

But then you showed up.
My arch rival.

You're smart, Riley. You're funny.
Determined, but also patient.

The best partner.
And you make this fun.

Much nicer than I had it in New York.
So you can decide what my role will be.

Is this a bad time to say
that I don't have a present for you?

Shane, I wanted to tell you...

There he is.
-Shane, we've been looking everywhere for you.

Tony said you're always gone and...
What is this?

Aren't you Juliato?
-I've seen you before.

Is that why you weren't at work?
-This food is not on our menu.

I will go.
-No, stay.

Mom, Dad, Uncle Tony... Riley and me
have written a business plan.

With a Juliato?
-The restaurant manager.

I remember. Do I have you
not seen at Pizza Den?

Pizza Den? What is this?
-Riley and I want to chase Pizza Den away.

This will be on the menu at Peter and Gino.
That's our new name.

This business will be a pick-up location
and Juliato's...

No, our families don't work together.
-Dad, this is gonna be big.

I have to go.
- No, Riley. I'm just explaining.

Good prices.

Come in, Riley.

Come sit down.

Is this what it seems? I do not understand.
-I can explain.

You've said all your life that you
ever wanted to take over this business.

And now you're working behind our backs
with our greatest rival?

I don't know what to think about this.
You're not ready.

I wonder what your great-grandfather,
my father, would think of this.

Please explain, dear.

Sorry about my family.
-How dare you come here?

My father is turning in the grave.

Sir, everyone, this is the proposal
that I gave Riley.

But she immediately rejected my offer.

I know it was a bad idea
I don't need to hear it again.

Is that true, Riley?
Did he want to put things together?

Yes Madam. I was impressed
of her approach.

I saw an opportunity
but she would have none of it.

Her loyalty to your family
and things go ahead.

I didn't have you on the block
have to put. I'm sorry.

Riley is the perfect manager.

Too bad I'm talking to her
must record. Good evening.

Uncle Tony,
sorry for the sneaky stuff.

Your parents have it
taken more personally.

Wedding venues charge all sorts
extra cost. Electricity, water...

It's allowed in my garden for $500.
-With a gazebo?

There has been an old bonnet for ten years
to rust.

Is your contract still running in Manhattan?
-Yes why?

Do not leave. I know you
wasn't happy with those T-shirts...

but we are not used to it
change. It will be alright.

There is still plenty to do.
-Uncle Tony, there's not much more I can do.

Can you charge guest parking
make it pay?

Riley. That's not possible, is it?

Parking fee? I do not know.

Do they ignore you?

They're taking over again
until we, so they...

have a good solution.
-You have to fight for your role.

You are more suited for it.
-I'm not sure anymore.

I had come up with a whole plan
with myself as manager...

and I was completely wrong.

I've wanted this all my life.

Have I wasted my time on something
what am I not suitable for?

I'll take my stuff to the car.
Thanks for everything.

We just wanted to talk about...

mom, dad,
I want to apologize.

I wanted to keep Romano's running.

I did what I thought was right
but i was wrong.

Maybe I'm more suited
to invest in others.

I'm sorry.

You know you my Italian
being the uncle and aunt I always wanted.

I want you to come to my wedding.
-Please.

Because I want Shane and Riley
also come. Together.

I know about the family feud, so I get it
that you don't want cooperation.

But he seems overjoyed.
-But he was so successful in New York.

He's a good entrepreneur, but Riley
brings out the best in him.

Either way something has to change
because Pizza Den waltzes over you.

What is?

Shane, you know how we are parents
told us we were getting married?

No.
-I didn't have this engagement ring yet.

I gave her a temporary ring
and called it a wish ring.

I wished there was a diamond on it
would come. I couldn't afford that.

But I didn't want to wait any longer.
-Your grandmother rolled her eyes.

She said we were going too fast.
-How unkind.

They had their doubts about Lisa.
She was from Green Bay, Wisconsin.

She was a Packers fan.
-Arch rivals of the Chicago Bears.

My beautiful bride was ashamed
not for it.

I didn't want to change them
to please. It didn't feel right.

How did you convince them?
- He brings out the best in me.

He discovered things about me that I
did not know, because he saw them before.

When she said that, they ate from her hand.
After that they adored her.

So... Riley brings Juliato
bring out the best in you?

That does not matter.
-Of course it is.

Mom, it's already too late.

Riley has dreamed of this all her life.
To me that is unsettled.

If I want her to fulfill her dream,
should I leave.

So can we move on?

He really likes her a lot.
-He can't leave.

There's nothing we can do about that.
Or do you?

Have you spoken to Shane?
-He is leaving.

Stop him.
-Mr and Mrs R are coming to the wedding.

Just let her in quickly.

Are we going back to the old wine?

And the old menu?

Peter and Gino's concept
must have attracted many guests.

People, put everything down.
-You have to be with Grandpa Joe, he's the boss.

Shane leaves. Today.
He's going back to New York.

Well, if he wants to...

Riley, you have to stop him.

He can make his own decisions.
-We're all adults. Yes Yes.

Get rid of those clichés
and think about a solution.

Jeannie, do you find Riley
changed lately?

She falls asleep on the job.
but she is a lot less strict.

Can you say that nicer?

You have heart for the cause, but
you now also decide on the menu.

That's nice. The kitchen staff
also feel more involved.

You've wanted this all your life. That was
your goal, but you didn't enjoy it.

You wanted to be good at your craft,
but you didn't enjoy the experience.

Shane made you enjoy it
and found your own voice.

That was nice to see.

I allowed him to sacrifice himself.
He will never forgive me for that.

Not for anything,
but it can't get much worse.

You lost your dream job. What do you have
to lose when you apologize?

I just have a nice chance
to lose.

Grandpa, we need to talk.
-Okay, what's going on?

I went to see Shane
for business advice...

and then to ask him
to merge.

He said it was his idea.
-He wanted to protect me.

But he can't protect Juliato's.
-What do you mean?

How do you want to compete with Pizza Den?
-Like we've been doing for years.

That won't save you anymore.

If we want Juliato's and Romano's
we can't go on like this.

We can't go on like this.
-That is not true.

May I have a word?
-You must know something about our past.

Your great-grandfather Peter and
Gino Romano came here...

to open a business together.
-Not both have their own business?

There was disagreement over the menu
and about the logo.

And then about the name.
And that led to an argument.

So that's why they are
two different things.

Shane's grandfather and I were
old comrades.

But then our fathers got into a fight.
I was devastated.

Why didn't you ever tell?
-It hurts me.

Arguing was easier than making up.

So then we got to work
and the rivalry collapsed.

That was a welcome distraction
for the whole family.

That's not how you should do business.

Shane is great. He is smart,
creative and he supports me.

When I'm with him
I feel less rushed.

Work becomes more than work.
It does me good.

Do you believe in your plan?
-Yes. We are a good team together.

Things are getting worse
since the advent of Pizza Den.

Shall we give Riley a chance
to help us? As far as I'm concerned, yes.

I don't want to make the same mistake
that my dad and Gino made...

so let's try.

You're not the easiest, nephew,
but i will miss you.

I'll miss you too, Uncle Tony.
-The pizza tastes different. Tastier.

The sauce is fantastic.
-New tomatoes.

Riley introduced me
with a trader.

Shane, listen. Don't go, okay?
You clearly have feelings for her.

And though she be a Juliato,
I can say on behalf of both of us...

that we give you your chance at true love
don't want to take away.

Thank you.
-We're going to her.

You had that look from her parents
must see.

I know that look. They didn't stand either
jumping to discuss our wedding plans...

but things change.
Do not give up.

Guys, I'm leaving. Period.

Would you like some pizza
pack for me?

Wait, don't go.
-Riley, what are you doing here?

What are they doing here? I know nothing.

I've never been in here.
-Riley, what's going on?

My grandfather told me a good story.

How Peter Juliato and Gino Romano
wanted to start a business here together.

Peter and Gino got into a fight
about trivial matters...

like white tablecloths
and whose name would come first.

That has led
up to four generations of rivalry.

We have had no disagreement.
-No.

I'm sorry you got the blame.
You deserve all the praise.

You think in possibilities
and you bring out the best in me.

I didn't want to get in your way.
- You just helped me.

Thanks to you I enjoyed my work.

What a nice couple.
-We're more fun.

Do you want to convert Romanos
to a takeaway?

And Juliato's is going to be a fancy,
but accessible gastro bar.

We have new dishes.
-Something for everyone.

Dinner or a quick bite.
-Then how is it different from Pizza Den?

We have a connection with the city.
And a better story.

And better food and wine.
And at two locations in the city.

And Shane and I will be co-managers.
-Who votes for?

I vote for.

Your votes don't count.

I also vote in favour.
-Me, too.

I believe in you.
-Me, too.

I never disliked
the Juliatos. It was forced on us.

We'll Pizza Den
let's show you something.

We must look to the future.

Let's do the new case
Riley and Shane's call.

Or...

Shane and Riley.

What do you say, partner?

I have to think about it for a while.

Crazy, huh?

Yes. It's almost perfect.
-Almost perfect?

I'm missing some balloons.
I owe you that.

I thought you'd say that.
Come along.

So good, partner?
-Perfect, partner.
