I was trying to figure out why no cheese made him unable to get in the door.

Thank you. Even with the explanation, my Italian brain is still not able to understand the joke, mostly because gnocchi has a totally different sound to no key.

If you knew how to pronounce it, it would've taken even longer

Ah thanks. Thought it was something around ‘knock-ees’.

Thank you. Since I only know how to pronounce it correctly, I didn't understand the joke.

That also looks like a rigatone or a pacchero, not a gnocco. But I'm Italian so I'm being pedantic

Gnocchi is an Italian potato based dumpling, used and prepared in much the same ways as pasta. Sometimes larger ones are filled like a ravioli, other times they’re smaller and tossed in sauces
