STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK -- If you tune in to Season 5 of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee," the Jerry Seinfeld traveling talk show just released on Netflix, viewers will recognize scenes from Staten Island as a colorful backdrop.

Included among all the familiarity is Capizzi Ristorante, the Great Kills dining spot where we previously noted the legendary comic filmed the hilarious show back in November.

Joe Calcagno, who owns Capizzi with his partner, Nick Dileo, told us back then: "They were there for one day -- the whole day -- and everything was live on tape."

Calgano added: "Jerry Seinfeld is the highest-paid comedian in the world and he can go anywhere and he comes to our places all the time in Manhattan and on Staten Island."

For those who aren't familiar with the web series: It's a talk show created, directed and hosted by Seinfeld. Episodes feature him introducing a vintage car selected for a guest comedian, followed by a drive to a pre-selected cafe or restaurant for coffee.

This time out, the funnyman, who achieved fame by talking about life's ridiculous moments, chose Capizzi, the authentic dining spot that flashes back to an era when Nonna rolled pasta by hand, baked her own breads and cookies, and simmered sauce created from freshly picked tomatoes.

"He drove up with an Alpha Romeo: That's what he does," Calcagno said. "He takes a car that he thinks suits the person that he interviews -- this time it was comic John Mulaney ... Normally they have coffee. But at my place they had pizza."

Calcagno's said Seinfeld even told Mulaney: "This is my favorite pizzeria."

Mulaney, Seinfeld's featured guest, is also a standup comedian known for specials like "The Top Part," "New in Town" and "The Comeback Kid."

The former "Saturday Night Live" writer and supporting player also created and starred in the short-lived Fox sitcom "Mulaney," a semi-autobiographical series that co-starred Martin Short as his father, followed by a lengthy run in "Oh, Hello on Broadway," with fellow comic Nick Krolll.



Capizzi Ristorante is located at 4126 Hylan Blvd. in Great Kills.
