Video summary

Press to jump

2:56Ramsay arrives at Pantaleone's and hears about Pete's claim to Denver's best pizza.
10:30The tasting begins with an oversized calzone, followed by sausage pizza, a meatball hero and linguini with clams.
22:06A blind street tasting compares Pantaleone's pizza with a local restaurant's pizza and a frozen supermarket option.
23:51Ramsay screens the tasting results for the family.
27:55Pete and Josh travel to Rao's in Las Vegas for a conversation about running a family restaurant.
35:05The revamped restaurant opens for its relaunch dinner service.

Pete's confidence reaches well beyond Colorado: "My pizza is the best in the whole world." Gordon Ramsay has a calzone, a sausage pizza and some difficult feedback waiting for him in Kitchen Nightmares' busiest new upload.

The official channel posted three videos this week, with "Gordon Ramsay tries the 'BEST PIZZA IN DENVER' | Full Episode | Kitchen Nightmares" drawing nearly 90,000 views. This is an archive restaurant makeover, not a new visit: Pete and Paulette's family-run Pantaleone's is trading on past recognition, while their son Josh struggles to persuade his dad to change.

Ramsay finds thick, undercooked pizza dough and enough grease to become part of the demonstration. But the episode's useful turn comes outside the restaurant: a blind street tasting puts Pete's pizza alongside a local restaurant's offering and a frozen supermarket option. Later, a Las Vegas visit with Rao's owner Frank Pellegrino Jr. shifts the conversation from crust to the delicate business of fathers and sons sharing a kitchen.

The comments have another preoccupation: the thumbnail. Viewers recognize an L.A. Noire reference, praise the artwork and suggest Ramsay deserves a game of his own. Others make the simpler observation that they would happily eat that pizza.

The Denver episode also has the most daily momentum, followed by "\"Who's Responsible For THIS!?\" | COMPILATION | Kitchen Nightmares". That compilation had the stronger opening day, despite its smaller total so far. A Hell's Kitchen episode rounded out the week's uploads.

Subscriber numbers stayed unchanged, and daily viewing is a little below the channel's usual pace. Beyond the new uploads, the earlier triple episode featuring Handlebar, J. Willy's and a troubled Mexican restaurant continues to bring viewers back to Ramsay's cleanup rounds.
