Joe Montebello (Eyal Podell) went to New York City to study the culinary arts. After his father suffered a heart attack and wasn't able to work in the kitchen of their family pizza place, Montebllo's (also claims to have the best pizza in Verona), Joe moved back home to run the family business.
Joe runs into Gina (literally) when she returns home and although the two know each other, they really don't know anything about each other. They do know that there is some sort of spark between them and start hanging out in secrecy. They have to meet in secrecy because their families have a long feud that has been going on forever (the feud is obviously over pizza). However, the two realize they have something special and start to fall in love.
Jeez. I'm a fan of cheese (but when it comes to pizza, it's all in the sauce) in movies but this one was just too much for me to handle. People changed their mind too quickly and didn't seem to ever worry about the consequences. There was a lot of exaggerated eye rolling going on when Joe and Gina were talking about time stopping and starting again. Plus they were really dumb about how they went about the relationship. After their first date, they walk hand in hand right outside the pizza joints (why you so dumb!!). Over the top dialogue that made me want to throw up didn't help either. When characters did have a conflict it would be resolved within minutes. Basically the only reason I kept watching was to see how this Romeo and Juliet plot would pan out.
