Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place ('98-'01). Any fans?

I've been rewatching this one the last few weeks and forgot just how much I loved this show. I watched it when it aired on TV 25+ (holy shite!) years ago. I've rewatched it once since then but haven't seen it in probably 10 years.
Normally when I ask people they've never heard of it. It's really the first "big" thing Ryan Reynolds was involved in. He plays Berg, a smartass medical student (he's basically the typical Ryan Reynolds character type) who lives with Pete in an apartment while they are in college and they both work at a local pizza joint. Pete is annoying as frick a lot of times, but all in all he's not too bad. He just always bitches about women and relationships and how he can never find the one (think Ted Mosby from HIMYM, just not quite as douchey). I think I like the show because Berg and Pete just give each other shite all the time just like my friends and I always did.
The "girl" in the title is Traylor Howard (who plays Sharon), and she went to school with the guys and now has a big girl job. And she is absolute smoke on the show too. She's the perfect amount of "cute hot" mixed with "90s hot," if that makes sense:
I believe it was initially a midseason replacement show, so S1 starts a little strange (I think the episodes were aired out of order) and is a shortened season. But it settles in nicely in S2 and the storylines get going.
After S2, they ditch the "Pizza Place" title and it becomes just "Two Guys and a Girl" and the focus shifts away from the pizza place and onto more adult type shite (like marriage and berg becoming a doctor). Also in S2-forward, Nathan Fillion joins the cast, as does Suzanne Cryer (the Yada Yada chick from Seinfeld apparently), and they are both solid additions to the show.
I just started S3 last night, and am really enjoying watching it again. I own the DVDs, so that's how I'm watching it. I don't believe it streams anywhere, although one site I saw said it is on Plex so who knows.
Anyway, any fans of it, or does anybody really remember it at all?
I remember loving the show, but am really enjoying this rewatch more than I thought I would. I usually knock out 2-4 episodes every night or two. I'm 44, so anybody who was in college around the mid-late 90s to mid-00s or so, this should be right in your wheelhouse and I'd definitely recommend it.

What streaming service were you doing a rewatch on if you don't mind me asking?
I used to really enjoy it. I think it's the first sitcom I got into.

i remember it. i loved ABC's comedic programming in the 90s. Drew Carey, Sports Night, Naked Truth, Spin City, Norm, Dharma and Greg etc.
imagine telling yourself 25 years ago that the douche bag on the left is going to be one of the best comedic actors of all time and is universally loved for being likeable, along with marrying 2 of the hottest actresses of the 20th century and own a cell phone company, a gin distillery, and an EFL team.

thought about starting a thread of random 90s sitcoms that were good but mostly forgotten now.

I don't remember anything about it, OTHER than what you mentioned how they dropped the "pizza place" from the title after the first season.

I don't recall ever hearing about this show and am pretty sure I never watched it. Just wanted to comment that this is the 3rd time this week I have seen some mention of this show

Its been on my list to watch for a while now, I remember watching it here and there back in the day when it was on the air and liking it but have never seen the whole thing. I will watch anything with Fillion in it, so if you are saying it holds up, thats good enough for me

Didn't that show give us this gif?
I remember watching it and liking it. As you said, Traylor was the epitome of cute hot.

Would still get tCreamPie. I remember being aware of the show at the time, but never really watched it other than a handful of episodes. Might try to torrent it. Would be a nice lunch show. I miss sitcoms. I can’t remember the last 30 min network comedy I watched. Parks & rec maybe?

amazingly she played that autistic CEO character in Silicon Valley. Really odd how she went from smokeshow younger actress to weird older lady.

I remember watching that while in college. Never Saw the entire series. I liked it from what I recall.
I just finished streaming rules of engagement. I never watched it when it was airing. I really enjoyed it

Before Two Guys and a Girl, Taylor was on Boston Common a short lived sit com on NBC.

They cut the Pizza Place name I think by the 2nd season. Traylor Howard I still remember best from Me Myself & Irene.
I didn’t watch much of it back then but may give it a go. My favorite ABC comedy of all time was Coach. I’ve seen all of them.
Late 90s ABC also had The Norm Show which didn’t last long but was hilarious

I remember really enjoying the show but hating the name of it.
I loved the smart-assery of Berg, somehow I remembered that was Ryan Reynolds when he got big. I also recognized Fillion from it when he was on Firefly.

Big fan here.
I remember how tall Ryan Reynolds was and that his shoulders were always hunched forward. It was before he got ripped.
Glad he outgrew that.
The Pete guy was an FBI agent on an episode of X-Files if I remember correctly.

I bought the dvd cheap during the pandemic.
The first season is slow. Picks up with Suzanne Cryer, who does a great job playing a hot sarcastic know-it-all, and Nathan Fillion.
Tiffani Thiessen was on several episodes in the third season & she was a total smoke show then.
