We Flew to Italy... for PIZZA! | New York vs. Italian Pizza
Last summer I took my Italian wife, Eva, on a road trip across America. We tried everything from street tacos in Los Angeles to Philly cheese steak sandwiches. She loved EVERY SINGLE DISH except one: New York style pizza. I decided to try and achieve some redemption for NY pizza but somehow we ended up... in Italy.
Hope you guys enjoyed this video! If so, please give it a thumbs-up and subscribe to the channel. We'll be sticking around Italy for a little while so tune in next week!
DISCLAIMER: We traveled in the safest manner possible, undergoing COVID testing before and after our flight. We followed all US/Italian regulations. Stay safe!

Sooooo now that we're in Italy, what do you guys want to see? 😂
Go to verona 😅
Would love to see Venice and the northern part of Italy.
Rome always the best place to go or Florence
Harper che magna' la 'Nduja a casa di Eva!🤔🙄😂
Valtellina e lago di Como (sì, sono di parte)
Show something cooked by Eva's mom... That would be interesting
What about a video of Eva's mom judging Eva's cooking 🤔
I couldn't agree more. Show us where Eva learned to cook!
How about Granny's dishes vs mom's dishes and what was the most tasty dish
Agreed. Let this be the next video.
You need to try more pizza in different places, styles, flavors...and don't forget while you're there Harper to also try a bolognese lasagna with bechamel sauce , it's going to melt in your mouth.
If you pay close attention you'll notice--as soon as Eva landed in Italia--her skin was glowing, her hair was curlier, her smile bigger... and if I'm not mistaken, she even looks taller 😁😁😁
Italians evolve if they are close-inside italy
😂😂😂
@@italianduded1161 hey believe me, I understand. What an amazing country!!
@@aboodz ahahahah thanks a lot man!
@@italianduded1161 Can I please get a citizenship now?! 😁 I wanna retire there 😉
Italy: Water, flour, salt and yeast.
USA: Whole periodic table.
Love too ..❤️🙏
@@alwaysinprayer900 yes!! 👑
@FrenchToast Stealer cancer? Italy has still the oldest people in the world and the Mediterranean Diet is the Best!!!!
Haha love this comment, hate that it's true!
@@kimberly5465 the best pizza on the face of the earth is NOT in Italy. It's in New Haven, CT. Unfortunately the worst pizza on earth comes from New Haven too. It's known as "Greek Pizza" the pizza that inspired the grotesque pizza known as Dominos and Pappa John's.
Harper: we have great pizza in America too.
Eva: literally drags him to Italy.
Because Harper doesn't realize the BEST pizza on earth is in America in one town. That is New Haven CT. Even a few yards away from Joe's where he took her, is John's on Bleeker the best pizza in NYC. The problem is like most people on earth Harper does not know what pizza is, thank god Eva is teaching him. Not taking her to the New Haven greats is like introducing her to hamburgers by taking her to McDonald's. The Hamburger as we know it worldwide was invented in New Haven CT, not going to Louis Lunch there is not truly tasting an American Hamburger!
New Haven pizza is burnt, over-cooked trash.
@Paulo Dacosta You have no CLUE what you are talking about. First off 90% of what places call "Pizza" in the US and 100% in Canada are not in fact Pizza (unless some grotesque battery acid like orange smear and fake mozzarella on a horrible bread automatically makes it pizza in your book). That being said, New Haven CT still has the best pizza on earth (Sally's Appiza, Frank Pepes Appiza, Modern Appiza, BAR, Earnies, Olde World Appiza in Hamden CT, and Zapparties in West Haven CT). New Haven also has horrific pizza as it is the home of so-called "Greek Pizza" the grotesque abomination responsible for Papa Johns, Dominos and other grotesque fast food pizza's as well as the ONLY style of so-called pizza in Canada. New York has some stuff that is near New Haven Quality but you really need to know, most of what is called "New York Pizza" is neither "New York Pizza" and runs from mediocre to grotesque. While Joe's on Carmine and Bleeker Street in Greenwich Village NYC is one of the best slice pizzas in the so called "Modern New York Style" in New York City, these guys missed John's pizza 1/2 block down Bleeker Street which is arguably the best of the few remaining coal oven pizzas (Real New York Pizza) in the state of New York. Then no one reviews V&T Pizzaria on Amsterdam between 110th and 111th Street in Manhattan, the best electric pizza oven pizza in the state of New York (similar to Earnies of New Haven, CT if you remember to tell them well done!). ruclips.net/video/lGKGiThvEj0/видео.html
Tomatoes aren't even from italy Lmao so these recipes aren't that old
@@MisterBonetti best pizza on earth 'couse you think world Is Usa....best pizza Is in Italy and Napoli the best of the best....
New Heaven.....what? Not bad
I think it might be Eva's turn to feed you Italy's best American food.
Yes! This x100! Time for retribution!!!! ✊🏻
Great idea!
agree xD
We will try!!!
Love that idea!
The priceless taste of the first espresso when you land in the motherland.
Impagabile, specialmente dopo tre settimane in India :)
Un weekend a Berlino ed io e mia moglie ce lo siamo sparato in vena appena rientrati, poi abbiamo ballato sul tavolo spaghetti in mano mentre ci cambiavano la flebo di aperol
I have been told that The US gets the worse beans. I don't know, but that is what some say.
The look on her face said it all!!!
@@kathleennorton6108 Nah not true, everyone gets a mix and it's easier to find better beans in the US than in Italy. It's more about having the right mix of beans for the brewing process you are using and the fact that Italian cafè espresso machines pump out thousands of coffees per day.
Happy to see Eva got her passport reissued after eating that pineapple pizza.
Pineapple pizza? It's illegal in Italy
@@lauraarual2563 absolutely
Yeah, no pineapple on pizza
if u order a pineapple pizza in Italy (especially in Napoli) it won't be a strange thing if they can even shoot at you! XD I'm joking, but it's not very far from real
I'm Dutch and German by blood, adopted to become a first generation Italian American. Myy favorite pizza has black olives and pineapple. (Sorry, not sorry.)
"L'amore per quello che si fa"... This frase resume all the Italian cooking
As a person who lived abroad (and i’m italian) i can recognize the tears of joy in her eyes❤️
Food is not just material, it’s emotional, it’s the most pure form of love.❤️
I lived only for a few months abroad and when I came back one of the first thing I did was to go out and eat pizza. THE NOSTALGIA, I missed Italy and our food so much!
I want to marry an Italian girl.
I love the look of defeat on Harper’s face, every time he realizes Eva was right.... again! 😂. at 7:55 so funny
The pure happiness on Eva’s face when she took a bite of the pizza in Italy, I could feel the joy! 🥰😂
Her eyes were sparkling once she was in Italy! 😊
the REAL star of this video is Eva's face after having her first REAL espresso in long time
my thoughts exactly, I wonder how long she's been away from Italy during this pandemic... Maybe she'll read this and answer us XD We love you guys! Enjoy your stay!
Ristretto.
I know. I swear I saw some tears forming in her eyes! So lovely!
@@johndigiamberardino8449 nope, espresso is espresso. ristretto is ristretto (and in italy we call it "basso")
@@katetownsend9655 As Italian I can say that when you touch the land the first thing you're craving for is an espresso.
"We're not moving here"
...ten years and three kids later....
Lol
....we are still in process of moving back to states :D
If they want kids
@@Liverpoollassie Italians in my family just have kids...... its like we have no idea how it happens, it just does. I assumed it was an Italian thing. Lmao. 😉
@@antondzajajurca7797 Bro don't do it America isn't worth it anymore.
"It looks more like a pizza than I was expecting" was probably the best praise we could expect from Eva on New York pizza.
There is a basic ingredient in Italian cuisine: the time dedicated to cooking.
Not just time, passion!
There is an Italian phrase that my brother says when someone is pushing him to try something that doesn't have "it"........
" why would i dirty my stomach lining for that".
Trust me sounds better said in Italian, our version of Italian as we were born in Australia to Italian Immigrants.
Peace.
In Eva's defense, she probably makes an incredible salad.
8:45 I love how social Italians are. Going straight to the kitchen to compliment the chefs?! That’s the most Italian thing I’ve ever seen. :)
We often do that!
What’s absolutely kills me here is that you drove over the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan for pizza. You literally drove past one of the most traditional Naploletan neighborhoods, Carroll Gardens Brooklyn......I mean not just Carroll Gardens Brooklyn but so many amazing legitimate delicious pizzerias in Brooklyn. Mind blown.
Anyway it was lovely to see Eva so happy in Italy and enjoying her favorite pizza so that part was wonderful.
I mean... There was Little Italy, and Brooklyn, and not to shade
Joe's but there were so many better options. Lol.
Eva just doesn't like NY pizza, so they went to Italy!!😅🇮🇹Hopefully she'll eventually find a pizza in America that's at least tolerable 😊
When I was in Italia, the chef at one pizza restaurant told us he doesn't know why we (in the US) use conveyor belts and bad ingredients to make pizza, as he fed us some really good margherita pizza that was so out of this world. I have yet to have pizza that good since.
I live in the French Alpes 20 kms from the italian border and l often get on the train to go to Torino for the day just for lunch.
Understandable, Piedmontese cuisine is outstanding, and Turin is an amazing city (well, looks rather like a French than an Italian town, but whatever) which is fortunately not overrun by tourists.
@@lexmole and l am half french and half italian so l have my 2 cultures. Even where l live in modane the population is mixed.
That part of Italy-Torino, Genoa-are under-appreciated gems. And the cuisine! French-Italian fusion.
Torino is a wonderful city, I love it there.
Did Eva just quote the greatest line of all time?!
"It's Pizza Time"
Joe’s pizza is still my favorite here at home... you can’t compare the different pizzas, Roman, Sicilian, Turin, Neapolitan, NYC they all different in their own way.
Man, come to Naples (Sothern Italy), the birthplace of pizza and you will understand what a pizza really is. Believe me...
You can see Eva smiling under her face cover in total bliss after eating.
Being in Italy is...one of the most amazing experiences a human being can get. Period. I have been fortunate to have been there once.
Thanks 💕
Too bad I'll never go there because I'm not getting vaccinated nor do I play with this covid fearmongering theatre.
Thank you from Italy 🇮🇹
apparently Arizona is better.
@@SharkMinnow ??
You two are pure gold. Enjoy the trip and stay safe!
9:59
Harper: lets stay here for a little while
Eva: *blinks at the camera*
I'm Colombian but I love Italy so much that I've earned a degree in Italian , I've done masters in hotel management , (especially Italian) and I'm hoping my best to shift to my dream place next year
That's wonderful to hear! Getting a degree in the language that the country speaks demonstrates a very high level of commitment to it. Italy will be grateful to have you!
Absolutely... follow the dream!
@Queen Victoria of England, Your Majesty, one of your loyal subjects here, from London. Wishing all your dreams come true and that a super special pizza or some other wonderful dish in the country of my forebears will be honoured by your name and not just a railway/coach station here 😄😄😄😄😁😁👍👍
@@IndustrialMilitia oh thank you
@@CatholicSatan surely !
Eva, I thought that you would say something down the like “After eating this pizza you can die” paraphrasing the Neapolitan say: “Vedere napoli e poi morire”. Guys, this was the best video ever. Enjoy Italy.
Oh my God, I'm so excited to see this Italian culinary roadtrip
Great video. I am envious of your trip to Italy. Can't wait to see more. Thanks for the lighthearted entertainment you both provide.
I want Eva to show us her hometown. Allow us to see Calabria through her eyes.
I love this suggestion too.
I honestly thought this was going to be clickbait but you guys literally flew to Italy 😵
I also thought the same thing. I thought it was more a “virtual flight” to Italy. :)
They don't seem like the click bait types, but,....I know what you mean. They went to Italy,..ha!
I thought they were going to Texas. Italy, Texas.
@@jhchooo Is there an “Italy” in Texas ? Interesting ..... I didn't know ! And what are the citizens of that city called ? “Italians” ?
Suits the narrative, but I’m sure it was well planned in advance. Good for them.
Your videos are great! There are all kinds of RUclipsrs but I feel yours are one of the few I can really relate to. They are authentic, genuine, not phoney or cheesy (no matter how much Parmigiano is involved...).
Omg the Italian pizza looks phenomenal 🍕🇮🇹 The clean plate says It all. I NEED IT!!!!! 😍😭
Welcome home, Eva! I’d like to see an episode featuring Calabrian chilies.
1:49, controversial video about pizza? How about controversial because you chose to fly too Italy during a pandemic???
Yeah!!! This is the episode I've been waiting for since I discovered these crazy kids! It's not about the pizza. It's never been about the pizza. It's the chemistry between Eva and Harper. I'd still tune in if they went to Indochina, and were reviewing different bowls of rice.
Amazing! Have fun! Waiting for the next video.
I love how good food makes her so happy!
I was hanging out with friends in Speedway, IN and we started talking about your channel. Everyone was so excited about the dynamics of your onscreen relationship and the food you guys show us! Great job! You are bringing the appreciation of Italian food to central Indiana.
So glad to hear that! Say ciao to your friends for us!
Great show! I have argued with everyone about this. I was in a pizzaria because I heard that a real Italian was cooking the pizza. I ordered from the waiter the authentic Italian way I had known having traveled to Italy many times. The chef bursted from the kitchen in tears saying that he was tired of cooking casseroles on bread for Americans. We hugged it out and he returned to Italy. When I explain this to Americans, they look at me with a blank misunderstand stare. Eva - thank you for validating me!!!!!!
Casseroles on bread! Lol So true.
Yep. Having been to Italy 10 times myself (and being half Italian), I can confirm. There. Is. No. Comparison.
Please tell us how you ordered!
How I ordered! Pizza cooked with sauce and anchovy fillets only. Fresh basil, olive oil drizzle after, Shaved pecorino romano at table presentation. This is a Northern Italy style. I like with a "green wine" like Gavi Batistina. Otherwise, I like the Eva Neopolitan - scant buffalo mozzarella, a few leaves of basil , drizzle of olive oil. As Eva is saying - simplicity, not enormous amounts of cheese and meats - hence a casserole on bread like Americans style.
Brilliant, thanks @Forrest sounds wonderful. I have only been to Italy once but I still remember having a white pizza with no sauce topped with anchovies, capers, and olives. Salty but as you say, not over-loaded. Making me hungry now!
I'm glad Eva is back in Italy to see family and country. I have been watching you two for a just little while and I'm sure she is very happy to be able to get back home to spend sometime after the pandemic stopped travel. I'm sure both of you will have a great time there and be uploading some wonderful videos of your time there and can't wait to watch them.
I love so much that you're gonna be doing videos in Italy now !!! So cool that a new cycle begins, I think the timing was right !!
The secret ingredient is the love!
that's what missing in the states !
No trust me, whenever I see a Northern Italian my food taste better. You know why? Because cooking with hate is the Italian secret.
nonna blesses each pizza
pizza is not good if it is just a job.
The passion It Is the difference in simple thing
i really want to know how eva felt breathing the Italian air after so long lmao
“It tastes like freedom, it tastes like liberty” 😉
Da un italiano all'estero ad un altra, Eva, ti capisco. 🇮🇹
Pizza in Italy is tremendous. After all fresh tomatoes sauce Italian olive oil fresh basil and fresh cheese made in a wood burning oven. Traditional and classic. Individual and yes you cut it with a knife and fork. Nothing like Italian food especially in Italy.
"Just water, flour, salt and yeast" but also: waiting 1 day (or more) for the dough to rise and cooking it with wood oven
Cookin with a wood or electric or gas oven but it has to raise the 850 F (450ºC) heat for 90 seconds. And the yeast is not as much as for shorter fermentation
This is a true joy to watch. Just when I think there's nothing else that will top what you've done, you go and do this. Thanks for the adventure.
Living away from home too, I really got emotional when the pizzaiolo started talking :') That's why food is so good in Italy, we put so much love and passion in what we do :)
I was so nervous. When she took that first bite. We all love Eva just the way she is. I love that she never compromises.
I love these guys.. so genuine
Grandissimi! Finalmente in italia, la faccia di eva col caffè in mano diceva tutto!!! Se riuscirete a girare vi aspetto a Bologna per mangiare i tortellini!!
anche io di Bologna! dai che facciamo un bel ritrovo a tortellini e cotoletta Bolognese!
Ehi ehi...anche Modena !!!
@@cristinatedde9235 buuu modena! buuuuuuu :)
I saw the title and I immediately hit like 😀
7:23 Perfection! You can see the heart of the pizzaiolo in that masterpiece.
I'm Italian... For what I think it seamed to me that the pizzaiolo was just beating around the bush not to reveal his secret (but that's what I would do too, lol)
I am SO excited for future videos during the italy trip! Yey!
She said "Its pizza time" and I gasped with joy.
“I would stick so many Q-Tips up my nose to eat this pizza.”
This was my favorite line! LOL!
It’s a coronavirus test so they could fly to Italy for pizza
@@karenjatana4941 You're living up to your name Karen
Same lol
I cant stop smiling! I'm so happy Eva got to have her good Italian pizza after all this wait through the lockdown! Harper being able to go with her is even better! How heartwarming and sweet! You two are an absolutely adorable couple!
Great Video, so glad I found you guys!! buon appetito!!
Ok, your just my new favourite RUclipsrs. Love your style and format! Greetings from Italy, Apulia 🇮🇹❤️
Harper:"im gonna beat you with my best move"
Eva: [teleports you in italy] "nothing personal kid"
Eva is so happy to be home in Italy. I've never seen her look so beautiful.
I think it would be amazing to see you two do a series in Italy of Italian ingredients and crops and what differences there are in the wheat and oil and tomatoes and cheeses and such, as well as the recipes and foods.
Edit: I also adore how every video is ultimately Harper acknowledging how right Eva is about everything. 😆❤️
Her smile as she tastes the Italian pizza is everything
The light in Harper's eyes when he took the first piece is the best verdict.
Welcome back to Europe! Greetings from Germany. I'm looking forward to your Italian adventure videos.
What a video!!! Love you “guys”!!!
Love you guys!
Have a great time!
I swear I thought this was click bait......travelling to little Italy in New York...then I realised you actually did go! Yay! Can’t wait for the food!
L'emozione negli occhi di Eva al primo espresso in aeroporto 🤣
Ed era un espresso all'aeroporto!
...ed e' buono solo perche' all'estero e' ciofeca pura...🤣🤣
ogni volta che arrivo in italia, non importa quale aeroporto io e mia moglie corriamo per un espresso
You guys are so much fun! Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to find this channel!
When you come back to the US, do a tasting test of commercially available Olive Oils. I'd like to see what Eva picks. :-)
Even in Europe and Italy, there are lots of fake olive oil.
@@ArmadilloGodzilla :-(
"It's edible." Harper, do you have a death-wish? 😂😂😂
As an Italian Canadian, one of the items on my bucket list is to fly to Naples and have a margaritas pizza at the oldest pizzeria in Italy. You guys just confirmed it!!! Eva your amazing and Harper, you are the luckiest man!! Keep up the great work!!
So in Naples they started to offer a Margarita pizza? With tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice, with salt around the crust? Ummm 🙄 maybe it's better than the pineapple one 😃 sorry about my humour, it's called Margherita, margarita is the cocktail. 😘
Dude, do take the Margherita (that was invented in the place you're talking about), but you gotta try the Marinara too. Like. It's even better. Forreal. Because the sauce, man...fresh origano...I'm going to cry just remembering it.
@@gio7799 lol. My bad. That sounds good as well!!
avoid that old pizzeria in piazza Garibaldi..for tourists only......
You should actually. I live close by that pizzeria. My flight is tomorrow and that’s the first thing I’m going to do after going to Napoli ! ♥️
Yay! Looking forward to seeing you in Italy. That pizza looked amazing!
🤩🤩🤩👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Love love love this!!!! What a surprise 💖💖💖 Can't wait to see Italy from Eva's eyes!!!! 🌹🌹🌹
I was fearing the reaction to another slice before she inevitably went "I want a real pizza"! The title showed this clearly wasn't going to end in New York! At least she had a better slice this time!
I think the thing with Eva and pizza is it's mostly a style thing. NY pizza has a different crust, sauce, uses slightly different cheese, etc. Eva probably just doesn't like that style. However... many places in NY serve Neapolitan style pizza, perhaps it may not have been as good as the best pizza place in Italy but you would have gotten it a lot sooner!
Great video! You guys sure go on many fun trips!
I went to Italy a couple of years ago and had pizza in Florence. It was a religious experience. For dessert had a gelato it was heaven on Earth. Definitely can't wait until I can go back!!!
Florence is the heaven ,The pizza and the ice-cream were just Saint Peter who said"hey Stephanie welcome "
You guys are so adorable can’t wait to see your Italy adventures
How wonderful for you both. Italy is my heart homeland.
Enjoy every minute and every bite.
I’m IN Italy and watching this thinking “I ❤️ 🇮🇹 “
This made me cry alittle! We love you, Eva! Enjoy your trip!❤
You guys are so much more close... If the "things" weren't a thing I'd drive there to give you both a hug 🤗
Wow, absolutely thrilled to see you in Italy! Eva's face is a delight, so happy, so glowy.
Amazed you can actually travel cross continental! We cannot get out of Africa at all...... Blessings you special pair. Have a brilliant time, keep safe and God bless!
Thank you!!!
How 'bout a change-up? Some fish dishes in Italian restaurants. Not just shellfish: finned fish. After all, you're from Maine. The species may be different in the Mediterranean, but the techniques will be applicable back home!
Great Idea !
Yes!
What restaurants in Italy? Most of them are closed. And if they aren't closed now, they might be tomorrow, or the next day or the next. We are going crazy with all the new rules; every day something different. That's why Harper said at the end, "You know -- things".
I was thinking the same thing. Show us how to do a proper, classic branzino.
Could you guys create a list of non touristy things to do, see, and eat throughout Italy?
I am so jealous! That pizza looked amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing the video of eva’s mother,it brought back so many memories of cooking with my dear friend Bruna from bologna. My mother’s sisters, all 4 of them would gather to cook all of the holiday dinners that went on for hours, course after course. All my American friends were surprised that Christmas dinner went on for hours!
When you guys took your first bite of the pizza in Italy, you both looked like you were having what I call an oralgasm...
Just pure joy in your mouth!
I fully agree with the gentleman who made it, the secret ingredient has to be love. I'm teaching that to my grandchildren.
Enjoy your time in Italy! Stay well!
Commonly called a foodgasm.
@@ArmadilloGodzilla Yes, I know, but I enjoy being UNcommon. 😘
the smile on harper's face when he hits the first bite of the pizza LOL
Wanted to say this was a great video. Very memorable.
Wow!! I love that you brought us to italy..thank you!!
Welcome back to Italy Eva and welcome Harper!!!
We want to see family, food and love!
We want to see Max...maybe he can tell his experience in Masterchef Italia and we want to see Eva's family around a table full of amazing Calabrian food...go guys!!! You're great!
Eva looks SOOOOO happy to be back home.
Beautiful video. The difference in the looking of pizzas was huge. Please show us more italian food from Italy
Omg y'all are my fav youtube channel at the moment! So charming and honest. Thanks
Thank you!
It's beatuful see how she smile after drinking a real iatlian coffe 😂
I ordered a pizza with pineapple in Rome, the next morning I woke up strangely there was a severed horsehead in my bed. And oddly enough, after I made a carbonara with heavy cream, I got second horsehead in my bed.
They are now mounted on the wall in the livingroom. I'm very thankful for the generosity of Italians, they look great!
I honestly can’t tell if this is a joke or real but if it is real. I don’t think they were being generous
Whaaaaat??!.....😀😂😂😂
Eva's smile after a good coffee... ❣️
Recently came across your channel and glad I did, very entertaining. Last episode was one of your best. Hoping you be able to vlog some areas in Calabria !
