New Shop Pizza

Episode 4.1
May 30, 2005

Everything is sparkling new in Pizza-Land. This series opens with a new shop, new delivery boys, new vehicles and a brand new foetus. Pauly gets a new smart roadster; the delivery boys get new Honda scooters and an array of new hotted-up cars zip and hoon their way through the series. Meet the new guys in the shop: there's Kev the Kiwi (Kevin Taumata), Chong Fat (Anh Do), Junior (Andrew Ausage) and DJ Big Jams (Alex Romano).

Tonight Bobo hires a business consultant (Tim Shaw) to improve Fat Pizza's profits. The consultant makes Bobo buy a new shop in Hashfield (obese capital of Australia), sack Davo Dinkum, and hire new workers. Bobo hires Kevin the Kiwi, a Maori ex-bouncer; Junior, a psychotic Samoan apprentice chef; DJ BJ, a hopeless DJ looking for a day job and Chong Fat, Australia's worst driver (so bad in fact, he causes insurance premiums to go up). Pauly and Habib are still working for Bobo but Bobo cuts their pay from $3.00 to $1.40 an hour. Bobo also decks the guys out in new uniforms and motor scooters, completing the rebirth of Fat Pizza. All looks good until bikies try to rob the new shop (lead by bikie leader Angry Anderson). Toula is back, as is Claudia MacPherson (Annalise Braakensiek), bogan gang members, and fat chicks in this new series of Pizza. Bigger, fatter and cheesier.
