New Shop Pizza

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 D.J.B.J. (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 $1.50 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.

Small and Large Pizza

Tonight Pauly's Valiant is confiscated by the police and destroyed. He buys a new car, fitted out with nitrous and subwoofers of mass destruction. DJ BJ breaks Bobo's pizza oven, by hooking up his turntables. With the oven broken, Bobo is forced to ring Pizza Shack to order pizzas for his customers. The local police hire a new dwarf recruit as part of an equal opportunity policy. Habib rips off a Christian family and a gang war between Kev the Kiwi's Maori gang and Rocky the Lebanese Rambo's Lebanese gang, causes headaches for Fat Pizza.

Father's Day Pizza

It's Father's Day and Bobo is giving out screwdrivers as part of a special Father's Day promotion. The pizza guys all flash-back to memories of their fathers. Kev the Kiwi remembers his first beer with dad at three, Habib tells everyone about his dad who is locked up in Guantanamo Bay by the American government while Pauly remembers his dad, Alfredo Falzoni, disappearing when he was five. We learn the story of Alfredo, the Maltese James Bond, who was trained in espionage by the British after World War II and went on to have adventures that involved him spying on the JFK assassination, Bruce Lee, Area 54, dead aliens, a secret conspiracy against Harold Holt and Gough Whitlam as well as being a witness to the (faked) moon landing.

Holiday Pizza (Part 1)

Shot in Rome, this episode sees Pauly catch Bobo in a compromising position with a transvestite. He blackmails Bobo into giving him a holiday, so Pauly goes to visit his cousin Luigi in Rome. Luigi sends an sms to Pauly that he has a Ferrari but he, in fact, only has a scooter, he tells Pauly he lives in a giant apartment but it's tiny; he also lies saying that he owns a nightclub when he is only the bouncer. Pauly is robbed by gypsies and loses all his money so Luigi gets him a job with a local Roman pizzeria. Pauly's new boss is Momo. Pauly then battles Roman traffic, horny old customers and the mafia as he lives la dolce vita, Italian style.

Holiday Pizza (Part 2)

Still in Rome, Pauly arrives for work at Momo's pizza shop only to be sent on a mafia mission to Palermo, Sicily, with his cousin Luigi. They must deliver a backpack full of guns, drugs and the missing front-teeth of Mafiosi don Calzone. The ever-horny Luigi then decides to chase two sexy Italian girls to Venice. During the chase, they lose the backpack and have to go to the Leaning Tower of Pisa to find it. During an incredibly scenic trek across Italy to Palermo, Pauly and Luigi encounter sex, drugs, horny gay guys and organized crime as they scooter their way across Italia.

Waitress Pizza

Bobo decides to hire a waitress to help in the shop, her name is Sharona. She's blonde, curvy and has the Fat Pizza boys in a frenzy of testosterone. Bobo is also reported to Workcover for poor safety in his shop and an inspector is called. Habib leaves Toula so he can chase Sharona. Toula then meets a new lover in a donut shop and has a short steamy donut-fuelled affair. Kev the Kiwi discovers he has a drinking problem and starts bashing customers. Alcohol, sex and work safety make for a fully sick Pizza.

Burnout Pizza

Pauly and Habib take a sickie and go to Queensland to compete in a drag racing competition. Pauly uses special rocket fuel Habib has stolen from an army base to make his Smart Car even faster. Rocky, Toula and Rocky's girlfriend Katrina come along as the pit crew for Pauly. Unfortunately, while they are away Pauly gets the hots for Katrina. His concentration on the burnouts is now in doubt. While in Surfers, the crew go to Seaworld and Wet and Wild where Toula gets stuck in the water slide. Toula gets pregnant and Davo makes his sixteen year old cousin his de facto because she is pregnant too. Burnouts, babies and fully hot action in the banana capital of Australia, Queensland.

Habib's Wedding

As Toula is pregnant, Habib must marry her. The problems start with their religions: he is Muslim, she is Greek Orthodox. Their parents don't approve and Habib's father is released from Guantanamo Bay to attend the wedding. Bobo is hired by Toula to cater for the wedding, with his Fat Pizza workers as staff at the reception. On the way to the reception, all the hotted up wedding cars are defected and Rocky, the best man, is arrested for fighting with the police. Pauly is not invited initially to the wedding and has road rage with a funeral procession. While he is smashing the coffin, Habib calls and asks him to be a last minute replacement as best man. At the wedding the Mufti and the Orthodox priest get into a fight, Toula's dad has a heart attack in the toilet and the wedding guests keep brawling with anyone who looks at them the wrong way. Possibly the most hectic, violent wedding ever on Australian television.
