Here in Italy lots of restaraunts sells pizza at that price. It's considered the ''dish for the poor'' that's why it's affordable for anyone. When we travel to other countries we are curious to try pizza as well, even if we're not in Italy but we always been hit by the prices.. like, 20 dollars or more. Insane!
There are many places with cheaper pizza. I do agree many places over charge here. In the recent years it has gone up. A pizza similar in size to the one in this video used to cost 8-12 dollars. Not it's all the way up to 15-18.
Agreed, while pizzas in store are 2 euros, and restaurant pizza it's like 8 to 10 euros. But that's considered cheap here, since most restaurant meals start at 16
@@Christopher._M I can agree with that prices just for some expensive ingredients. It always depend on the restaraunt, here usually you can find a margherita from 4 to 8 euros. If you want a special pizza, ''gourmet'' style, you obvioulsy pay more, like 10, 12, 14 euros. Never seen a more expensive pizza.
I'm from Naples and i tried a lot of pizzerias in my life, and i can say with confidence that the best in the world is in Caserta! Please do a video on this pizzeria, i don't know why it did not become popular outside of italy but here it is a known fact. It is called "I Masanielli di Francesco Martucci" and has won 3 times in a row the title of best pizza in the world by "50 top pizza" and they well deserve it. Da Michele is good but it is the old style of pizza making, now there is a new style that is taking italy by storm, and no food blogger outside of italy has tried it, i highly recommend it and you cold be the first!

Not really a great Pizza restaurant as a whole. A good restaurant where you can eat a revisitation of what pizza is. Like I'd never say to anyone that that is the best pizza I've ever eaten or something like that. I'd recommend those restaurants to someone who wants to try something new.

Traditional pizza is great, but that wasn't my point, the fact is that a new style of making pizza is being invented and it has won many prizes well deserved, but a part from a few videos on "pepe in grani", i haven't seen a single video from a youtuber outside of italy talking about this, so it could be interesting seeing what they think of this innovation on pizza
I grew up in Europe and spent lots of time in Italy. I know the real Italian food. I do live in the USA since a few years. And it’s embarrassing, that many American think that the pizza you get in the USA is the real Italian pizza. Especially the NY piazza, has nothing to do with the real Italian pizza. 😂
Its a main reason why if you really wanna taste pizza from descendants of Southern Italy at least, you travel to NJ, where there's oven pizzas but the ones that taste really good are the brick oven pizzas. People think the 2 dollar pizza in NYC somehow makes it tasty but even food critics say NJ pizza is top tier better.
Italy has the best food in the world, not only pizza, thousands of different specialties in every region, salty or sweet, also the freshest quality/healthier food you’ll ever eat
As a Neapolitan, what really killed me is that he got just a normal gelato and he called it the best he's ever had... imagine if he'd tried our best gelato, lol. Anyway, great video! But to have the best pizza fritta in Naples, you need to go to La Masardona or to La figlia del Presidente. Di Matteo is great, too, but it's famous mostly for its frittatina di pasta (a fried pasta pie with meat, peas and cream). It's a shame you didn't try it, but that makes another reason to come back here!
Hahahahahaha they are Americans, their food is all processed and tastes like corrugated cardboard with sauce and plastic cheese... if they try real things they react like that.
Here in Naples, is a tradition that pizza must be a type of food accessible to everyone, that's why you can find it at low prices. During this summer, a famous person called Briatore decided to open a restaurant selling pizzas at higher prices, and ooooooh boy you can't imagine how the neapolitans took that. They started to criticise the prices and some neapolitan pizzerias arrived to the point of selling pizzas for lower prices or even FREE. That has been a crazy week.
@Phillip Banes It depends on ingredients also, that's why it's also cheaper in Italy. Because they don't have to import those products becase those products are from that area.
@Phillip Banes Man you are clueless and I will explain it. America doesn't have the climate as South italy where the tomatoes are grown. That's why even in South Italy the pizzas are better than the north.
Fried pizza has two main flavors: ricotta chees with black pepper and cicoli (like bacon or pancetta but made from poor pork) and the classic mozzarella and pomodoro (like a normal margherita).. Love it so much!
Il paragone non dovrebbe esistere proprio. La pizza è nata a Napoli. Pizza è una parola italiana. La vostra è solo una copia. Ritieniti fortunato già che abbia fatto un confronto con la pizza americana. Non esiste confronto neanche con le altre città in Italia. Figurati se la pizza americana può reggere il confronto con la pizza di Napoli. Salutame a soreta
@@Drewp06 if you're talking about taste, quality of ingredients, and the style of dough.. Even though it's apples to oranges, There's no comparison. Italy is way better. They have a deep tradition and are really down to every detail in making pizza. It's their thing after all!
@@martingelbach400 Many American pizzerias import ingredients from Italy. The taste, quality and dough is all easily accomplished and surpassed by the US.
@@Drewp06 using Italian ingredients? Well, food is subjective but pizza being "easily surpassed" hasn't been my experience in splitting half of my life on both continents. I'm a huge fan of pizza and always eat at top rated places. People who make strong claims usually haven't really traveled much.. But to each their own.
I have been to the first place you went to in Italy. I was blown away with my first bite. It was as if I had never eaten pizza before. I found a great pizza place in NYC in the East Village at 28 2nd Ave. It's run by Neapolitans and it's fabulous. Hope it is still there.
Also you don't need to look for the "best pizzeria in the world" in the centre of Naples and wait for 1 hour to eat a good pizza, you can find great pizzerie everywhere in Campania, even in small villages.
Great content here! 👏🏼👏🏼 By the way, here in Italy we have so many kind of pizzas! For the next time, I highly suggest you my preferred one: “the bufalina”! It’s a pizza with a ton of buffalo mozzarella (that has totally a different taste compared to the normal one) and fresh tomatoes! But actually I’m a sauce lover, so I ask for the “red bufalia”, in this way you get an amazing margherita, with a ton of buffalo mozzarella, red sauce, fresh sliced tomatoes, basil and just one bite of it brings you directly to the heaven! For tonight I definitely have to schedule for a seat in a pizzeria hahaha Other than that, must try are: -“the calzone”, that’s basically a folded pizza stuffed with some magic sauce and Neapolitan salami -“the montanara”, which has only the dough fried but on the top it looks like a margherita, so you can see the sauce, the basil and the mozzarella, not like the “pizza fritta” that basically is the fried version of the calzone Believe me or not, this is just the tip of the iceberg 😂
Pizza Napolitana is protected by law. It must have the right ingredients and made a certain way to be called Pizza Napolitana. Can't wait to see what you think of Pizza Romana. I had no idea when I visited Rome that in take away pizzarea's they cut a portion from long rectangular pizza's with scissors then they weigh it and that's how much it costs. Italy is an awesome country that everybody should visit.
Love seeing a new Brett video! Watching his videos always makes me a better vlogger. As a Chicago vlogger, if you ever want the ultimate Chicago Deep Dish experience, you gotta hit up the Number Six With Cheese crew!
Its not about "someone brings this to America" because people already tried it! The difference it makes the ingredients and how/where they coltivate them. In Naples they use to coltivate in a volcanic land, the ground is very fertile and also the sea air makes the difference! many times something cant be the same as other ways, this is why if you visit the rest of Italy you won't find the same pizza as in Naples! ;D
On this topic of different ingredients, it always made me needlessly angry growing up that I had to constantly stir and keep an eye on the pasta I was boiling because leaving it out of sight for just a minute meant that it would stick to the bottom of the pot. I grew up thinking that, well, pasta is just supposed to stick and there's nothing else you can do other than stir, stir, stir. And then I befriended an Italian who used pasta that he had brought from Italy. He let it boil for a few minutes tops, stirred once or maximum twice, and it turned out perfectly al dente. That was when it clicked in my stupid brain and I was like, yeah, Italian pasta is definitely made different.
Not tried New York pizza myself, I’m sure it’s awesome. But I have tried pizza many times in Naples, Brandi’s most specifically. It hails itself as the oldest pizzeria in the world. And it was incredible.
Marcus A good arrangement .... but believe me already from Birthplace to other locations placed in restant italian legions is another think....at least either at 35 km to naples ...is another think! i prefer not talking about REAL ITALIAN INGREDIENTS ...why i wish u can understand WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH ITEMS ...FOR ENTIRE THE WORLD ! HANDMADE-MANIFACTURE-ARTISANAL word is conceptually ( LIMITED EDITION ) the reverse/inverse of INDUSTRY MOOD ( EXTENDED EDITION) ...infact sarcasm apart .. u can see how in italy too we are touching the problem of UKRAINIAN - RUSSIAN FLOUR .... are u understanding from where comes from many " italian flour "?
Love both styles and all I can say is they are different, especially the cheese. The dough varies because everyone has different fermentation methods, which changes the texture, and flavor. Napoletana has Fresh Mozzarella instead of skim shredded, which usually soups the pizza a bit if still has some moisture in it, but the flavor and string of it is unbeatable. Pizza is incredible and it's cool to see different adaptations of it in different countries.
Yeah this is why NYC is so often sold by the slice. Not much sauce, tons of full fat but dry cheese, medium thickness crust well browned on the bottom. They can make a pie then leave it out; they briefly pop it back in the oven and even if it's been left out for quite a bit it still tastes great. And in fact you can take the pie home on the train or have it delivered, or even have it cold in the morning. We have the fresh mozz pizza too, with its little dollops of mild cheese (which is all it can take of course!) on top of sauce and fresh basil. At those places obviously you scarf down a whole pie right away as fast as you can, that's only been made seconds before. Brett's choice of Joe's is nothing short of bizarre though. Not that it's horrible or anything. But being from Long Island (in fact from of the more Italian-American parts) he should know better; I'm sure out there he passed several better pies on his way to elementary school!
You can't compare la "Pizza a portafoglio" and "la Pizza Fritta da asporto" with the one you get to eat in a Pizzaria in Naples. The first two are "street food" the second is a blessing on earth.
Thank you Brett, you bring justice in my Italian heart. After the news that claimed Chicago the capital of pizza I needed this type of video. ❤ One day I will try joe’s pizza, it’s a promise. 🇮🇹🇺🇸❤️
The sadness was THICK when you dropped the slice of Joe’s Pizza. 🎉 😢 Have you tried St. Louis style pizza? Cracker-thin crust and Provel cheese. It’s an acquired taste, but I love it.
St. Louis style is definitely an acquired taste, lived there my entire life. I don’t care for it too much but the rest of my family swears by it. I prefer a Chicago or New York style pizza
In Naples they use Cow-buffalo mozzarella, i doubt you can find this cheese in the whole USA. More, extra-virgin oil and tomato puree from Italy are fantastic.
That was fun .The pizza in Naples looked great, worth the 2 hr wait ,and the price was so affordable .Now the flight to Naples and hotel/Bnb ,for 2 must of been a bit expensive.
I’ve tried pizza in Italy: Rome, Naples & Venice. They’re good. But tbh, New Haven & NY style pizza is better, for me. It’s apples and oranges, really - both good but different.
I'm from Naples, and I appreciate this video :D I always wanted to do this comparision but never got the chance so I'm simply glad that you made it for me :)
I am an Arabic guy and I love your voice, your English , because your accent is understood for me and for everyone that want improve his listening skills
I tried the most famous pizza spots in rome, naples and nyc and it´s not even close imo. Italian Pizza is way better. Comparing delicious roman style al taglio pizza from antico forno roscioli, bonci or casa manco or neapolitan pizza from damichele or starita to a place like joes pizza is like comparing martin scorsese to michael bay. not saying there isn´t good pizza in nyc but it´s just not on the same level.
I am italian and I have been both in NY and in Naples and to be honest I could not even compare the two pizzas, Napoli's pizza is the best no doubt, the ingredients makes the difference, I would rate the NY pizza 5/10, maybe I have tried the wrong one but still the Napoli's pizza could not be beaten by no one pizza in italy even with more sofisticate ingredients. I appriciate your video, I would like to see other comparison even with american food made in italy. That would be funny.
@Phillip Banes Let me ask you this: have you ever tried a real pizza from Naples? I tried NY pizza (Sottocasa) and napolitan pizza. I can assure you, the pizza from Naples is on a whole other planet. They can't even be compared. I can assure you that "bland" is not the right adjective to describe such a masterpiece.
@Phillip Banes the pizza is not "bland", it has an entire history why it was made like this, it was made for poor people with poor ingredients, tomato sauce and mozzarella are easy to find in South Italy (the South of Italy makes a lot of fresh cheeses, and the North makes more aged cheese like grana padano and Parmigiano Reggiano), the dough was really similar to the one they used for bread, so get yourself some pizza history before speaking your "facts"
New York one dollar piece of pizza is so impressive to me because it just fit the lifestyle of this hustle and bustle city perfectly. It is so convenient for NYCers to keep their working state when they enjoy meals at the same time, let alone its affordable price, particularly for immigrants. 🤗
@@obloez4107 That's still a good value for one of the best slices in NYC. Dollar pizza is fine, but it's what you grab in a hurry because it's there, or because it's 1 am and you're drunk. But Joe's Pizza is a destination slice. Like, sometimes I wake up and think "yeah, I'll leave Brooklyn for a slice of that..."
Another awesome video Brett! The fried "pizza" looks a lot like the fried bread called tiganopsomo which we have here in Greece which is stuffed with feta mostly and it's delicious!
We also have that in the Western part of Romania called "langos". The two classic choices are either just fried and topped with a mixture of salt, pressed garlic and water (called "mujdei") or stuffed with "telemea" which is veeeery similar to feta except it's made from cow's milk rather than sheep's. It's such a delicious fix when you're out and about and feeling a bit hungry.
I’m from Germany and visit Italy lots of times (just 1 hour flight), ate so many kinds of pizzas there but “MANCO & MANCO” in ocean city, NJ is the best pizza I had!! Much better than in Italy, I’m so sorry to all my Italians ♥️
It’s all bullshit. Whoever shouts the loudest seems to brsinwash the public really well. Americans amazing at the ‘greatest ‘ chat. Great pizza everywhere globally. Let’s be honest , it’s not difficult to make.
@@JohnSmith-sm7ez you are right, but the ingredients count. There is difference between tasty pizza and good pizza. NYC pizza is full of oil and it is way more unhealthy than the Italian one. It is like doing lasagne with bechamel, it is tasty but anyone could do that, the real ability is in doing it tasty without all these unhealthy ingredients
Kinda unrelated from the video but I love this editing style, I occasionally find editing styles like this on other channels and it just gets me hook cause most of it makes me learn something new and just eye catching.
I do have to say I've been lucky enough to have pizza in NYS, down south, and the Midwest, and I've had pizza in Europe(Rome, Marseille, paris and London) I do have to say I like the pizza over in Europe, it's more fresh, the taste is fresher, and ingredients are way better. I do have to say the better pizza is on a side street, it's very expensive but so worth it.
Try Argentinian Pizzas, specially in Buenos Aires and believe me, there's no way back. Argentina has an strong influence from Italian food bc their emigrants. The rest it's just an amazing mix between both cultures.
I'm a Bronx Sicilian so I've had some really excellent pizza over the years, and I've tried the excellent pizzas of Naples, but the finest pizza I ever had was in Paestum. All ingredients were amazingly fresh, the buffala mozzarella was very local, the tomatoes from the fields across the street. Salerno was also a standout for pizza.
Anecdotally speaking, after being in Italy this summer and consuming Pizza (as well as other Italian foods), I did not experience extreme thirst compared to eating similar foods in the US - this could be due to the sodium levels, possibly the type of dough, etc - does anyone know is a NYC location that serves ‘authentic NY pizza’ ?
Some of best classic NYC pizzas are at Joe's (the one in the video), John's Pizza on Bleecker St (just around the corner from Joe's), Scarr's Pizza (the best slices in the city), Lombardi's (oldest pizzeria in America), Patsy's (now a franchise, but go to the original in East Harlem), and Prince St. Pizza (which is the original "Original Ray's" pizza). Go to Joe's, Scarr's, and Prince St. for slices, go to the others for a sit down with a whole pie. There's also legendary pizza in Brooklyn like Di Fara's, Totonno's, Lucali, etc. if you want to get out of Manhattan for a minute.
Great video comparison I think u should of compared lombardis especially since it’s the oldest in America from 1905 and the pizzas are very similar in the style, preparation and presentation. I’ve had lombardis as well as dimachele in Italy both equally good in their right. I also loved Grimaldis in Brooklyn…
Hi Bert, you're right! I'm Neapolitan and I avoid every place where you have to stand in line on the street waiting for enter and eat! Luckily enough you can find pizzerias (mostly in the surroundings) where you can reserve a table in advance.
i’ve tried so many attempts at recreation of a good rustic margherita pizza in the states and the ingredients and vibe just aren’t the same as one you would get in naples
Remembering that there is PIZZA in SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL... one of the largest cities in the world, rich and strong in gastronomy, and the largest concentration of ITALIAN immigrants in the world... and for many they are the best PIZZAS in the world.
Look at the typical European 🤭 thinking they are better than Americans. That pizza looks like trash to be honest . Doesnt compete with Chicago or Detroit .. get real
Yeah set the bias aside buddy. Watery sauce, paper thin cracker like crust, and minimal toppings will never be superior to American pizza. Maybe american pizza isn’t “authentic” but it’s its own thing and american pizza does it better than italian pizza.
Hey Brett, just a little advice from an Italian: first eat, then talk 😉 if the pizza cools down it's less delicious... I was impatient for you to start eating 😁 Congrats for the video, kutgw
As an Italian I have to say that from an American pizza I was genuinely expecting something terrible to come out; but I'm actually surprised by the look of Joe's pizza, I think that if you take an average pizza in Italy it would look really similar and that's a really impressive result! Remember that even a mediocre pizza in Italy is still really good to eat, obviously compare the Joe's slice with that pizza from Napoli is no game, but still surprised that in America you can find pizza that isn't a warcrime! I'm happy! 😁👍🏻
Come on!! Seriously, how can you think in America to have a better pizza than the Italian one, especially the one in Naples ? It was born in Naples they have been making it for centuries and you bring me a pizzeria in NY since 1975? You are a bit presumptuous! 🤦♂️😂😂😂
I've had many pizzas in both NYC & Italy. NYC pizza is the best. Pizza in Naples has a soggy base(like a wet sweaty gym shirt) with carcinogenic, bitter black spots all over. Topped with a watery, soupy sauce. A pizza so sloppy, it must be eaten with a knife and fork. The cheese is good, but eat it fast! When the cheese cools, it turns to rubber.
I like American style pizza, and New York style pizza is definitely very good, but Neapolitan style pizza is way better in my opinion. American style pizzas really appeals to our gluttonous side with its salty, greasy cheese. But Neapolitan style pizzas have a bit more of a sophisticated flavor to it. The crust tastes like delicious, yeasty flat bread rather than just “pizza crust” flavor. The sauce is simplistic and more plain tomato flavor. The Mozzarella is less greasy and salty too. I don’t necessarily think you have to travel to Italy to have Neapolitan style pizza though. There are plenty of places in Italy that have bad Neapolitan style pizza, and plenty of places in the US that have good Neapolitan style pizza. All about finding a restaurant with good recipes. Who cares what country they are in.
I'm from Naples and to me the best pizzerie over here are "Antica pizzeria da Michele" and "Pepe in grani" (in Caiazzo, near caserta) but let me tell you, the concept of Slice of pizza, the american way, it's still something i do love and enjoy. It's a different concept, a different thing but still tasty. So i think anyone can enjoy pizza in both ways 😍 My fav slice would be the Pepperoni (that btw: in italian those are slice of SALAME 😂 it's alway funny to call it pepperoni, cause in italian PEPERONI (with one P) means Pepper 😂😂)
Thank you for being objective. I lived with an Italian roommate in Los Angeles for six years. He was from Firenze. And in addition to him I’ve known lots of other Europeans. They are often very biased in how they evaluate things, all they seem to care about is tradition, and they also can’t wrap their heads around the fact that it was inevitable that when Italian immigrants brought pizza to the United States they would develop a new and differentiated American style. Good NYC pizza is very, very good (and to be fair, there are places in NYC that do a bad job, you have to get good recommendations).
Coming over from the Metatron video... the NY part lost me at "slice" of Pizza. Then I remembered Pizza Hut at the mainstation on my commute (in Germany) offering that. But a real Pizza place offering slices...?
THE "WORST" PIZZA YOU COULD EAT IN NAPLES WILL ALWAYS BE BY FAR THE BEST OF THE "PIZZAS" YOU WILL HAVE IN ALL THE OTHER CITIES OF THE WORLD, THAT'S FOR SURE!
I’ve had pizza from NYC and Naples… both great but you MUST try the pizza in Trastevere Rome, Dar Poeta has the best pizza by far that I’ve ever tried. The crust is perfectly crisp, not floppy or flaky.
Finally! Lol was waiting for this one! I cried when the nyc pizza fell. Omg, still watching..you put an ad right when you bite it!!!!….omg lmao…..ok. I’m going to try the Italy one … ..on bucket list. Cuz of you. Lol thanks dude.
Eaten both NYC and Neapolitan pizza (in Naples). They are different and brilliant in their own way. Naples tastes fresher with pillowy dough, tangy san marzano and milky fresh mozzarella.
Hey man very nice video. If you come back to our city i recommend you try out Pellone pizzeria. While Michele and sorbillo are the most famous i think they fell off theyr grace a little bit and pizzas are not as good as they used to be, they feel more rushed, still very good but not as they used to be. Another one definitely worth the try is Pepe in Grani in Caiazzo...you will not regret it.
Napoli is a very unique city, life is different there and the culture of pizza is a lifestyle for the partenopeons. We can never compare the Neapolitan pizza to any other pizza in the world including other cities in Italy itself! Plus the price 5 or 6 euro for big pizza that is made with love and with fresh ingredients!
Wallet pizza is less juicy (so less oil and less cheese) because when you eat the pizza like that the bite gives pressure on the toppings, so everything comes outside and that's the last thing you want if you're eating while strolling around
Hands down, my grandma makes the best Italian pizza! Perfectly golden crunch (crunchy thick outside with the inside almost comparable to biting into a pillow/ perfectly cooked tomato sauce with a dash of her secret herbs/ finished with a multiple dashes of aged parmesan and mozzarella!
Yes but 5€ because Margherita is the cheapest and unfortunately in the last months it's price has increased to 6-7€. But as soon as you chose a different pizza, creative-style like they are on fashion also here in Naples, price rises to 9-10€. Still cheaper than abroad, I know, but not so cheap as it was traditionally.
Although I haven’t been to Italy myself, I have a friend who has and he told me that American pizza is far superior. He told me italians use really watery sauce and the base is so thin that it’s almost like a cracker. Maybe that’s how authentic pizza is supposed to be like, but I love my American pizza

I mean, I've honestly never even seen a gelato outside of that storebought stuff, which is probably completely different.
Hahahahahaha they are Americans, their food is all processed and tastes like corrugated cardboard with sauce and plastic cheese... if they try real things they react like that.
@@2800zero7 ok snob, enjoy your "totally" unprocessed food.
@@cieslik7564 erm, the process of cooking is literally doing chemical reactions, just with stuff you can eat instead of something that might explode.
@@cieslik7564 As far as I'm aware, no one eats shit and calls it bread
Here in Naples, is a tradition that pizza must be a type of food accessible to everyone, that's why you can find it at low prices. During this summer, a famous person called Briatore decided to open a restaurant selling pizzas at higher prices, and ooooooh boy you can't imagine how the neapolitans took that. They started to criticise the prices and some neapolitan pizzerias arrived to the point of selling pizzas for lower prices or even FREE. That has been a crazy week.
@Phillip Banes It depends on ingredients also, that's why it's also cheaper in Italy. Because they don't have to import those products becase those products are from that area.
@Phillip Banes Climate my friend
@Phillip Banes Man you are clueless and I will explain it. America doesn't have the climate as South italy where the tomatoes are grown. That's why even in South Italy the pizzas are better than the north.
@Phillip Banes NYC charging 10 dollars for a slice against 6 dollars for a whole pizza in Italy, and you say NYC is cheap 💀
Peccato che Sorbillo a Milano o a Torino la sua pizza te la fa pagare e non poco. La Margherita Milano mi ricordo di averla pagata 10 euro
Fried pizza has two main flavors: ricotta chees with black pepper and cicoli (like bacon or pancetta but made from poor pork) and the classic mozzarella and pomodoro (like a normal margherita).. Love it so much!
idem la pizza fritta è spettacolare
Col salame fra
A New York slice and a genuine pizza from Naples are two completely different things. There is no comparison.
Il paragone non dovrebbe esistere proprio. La pizza è nata a Napoli. Pizza è una parola italiana. La vostra è solo una copia. Ritieniti fortunato già che abbia fatto un confronto con la pizza americana. Non esiste confronto neanche con le altre città in Italia. Figurati se la pizza americana può reggere il confronto con la pizza di Napoli. Salutame a soreta
It's true, Italian pizza is insanely overrated and Americans have figured out to make perfect pizza. Leave it to America to always do it the best.
@@Drewp06 if you're talking about taste, quality of ingredients, and the style of dough.. Even though it's apples to oranges, There's no comparison. Italy is way better. They have a deep tradition and are really down to every detail in making pizza. It's their thing after all!
@@martingelbach400 Many American pizzerias import ingredients from Italy. The taste, quality and dough is all easily accomplished and surpassed by the US.
@@Drewp06 using Italian ingredients? Well, food is subjective but pizza being "easily surpassed" hasn't been my experience in splitting half of my life on both continents. I'm a huge fan of pizza and always eat at top rated places. People who make strong claims usually haven't really traveled much.. But to each their own.
I have been to the first place you went to in Italy. I was blown away with my first bite. It was as if I had never eaten pizza before. I found a great pizza place in NYC in the East Village at 28 2nd Ave. It's
run by Neapolitans and it's fabulous. Hope it is still there.
That's true. If you've only ever had "American" pizza, you've not had pizza at all.
Also you don't need to look for the "best pizzeria in the world" in the centre of Naples and wait for 1 hour to eat a good pizza, you can find great pizzerie everywhere in Campania, even in small villages.
Great content here! 👏🏼👏🏼
By the way, here in Italy we have so many kind of pizzas!
For the next time, I highly suggest you my preferred one: “the bufalina”!
It’s a pizza with a ton of buffalo mozzarella (that has totally a different taste compared to the normal one) and fresh tomatoes!
But actually I’m a sauce lover, so I ask for the “red bufalia”, in this way you get an amazing margherita, with a ton of buffalo mozzarella, red sauce, fresh sliced tomatoes, basil and just one bite of it brings you directly to the heaven!
For tonight I definitely have to schedule for a seat in a pizzeria hahaha
Other than that, must try are:
-“the calzone”, that’s basically a folded pizza stuffed with some magic sauce and Neapolitan salami
-“the montanara”, which has only the dough fried but on the top it looks like a margherita, so you can see the sauce, the basil and the mozzarella, not like the “pizza fritta” that basically is the fried version of the calzone
Believe me or not, this is just the tip of the iceberg 😂
Pizza Napolitana is protected by law. It must have the right ingredients and made a certain way to be called Pizza Napolitana. Can't wait to see what you think of Pizza Romana. I had no idea when I visited Rome that in take away pizzarea's they cut a portion from long rectangular pizza's with scissors then they weigh it and that's how much it costs. Italy is an awesome country that everybody should visit.
Love seeing a new Brett video! Watching his videos always makes me a better vlogger. As a Chicago vlogger, if you ever want the ultimate Chicago Deep Dish experience, you gotta hit up the Number Six With Cheese crew!
Its not about "someone brings this to America" because people already tried it! The difference it makes the ingredients and how/where they coltivate them. In Naples they use to coltivate in a volcanic land, the ground is very fertile and also the sea air makes the difference! many times something cant be the same as other ways, this is why if you visit the rest of Italy you won't find the same pizza as in Naples! ;D
I'm agree with you
On this topic of different ingredients, it always made me needlessly angry growing up that I had to constantly stir and keep an eye on the pasta I was boiling because leaving it out of sight for just a minute meant that it would stick to the bottom of the pot. I grew up thinking that, well, pasta is just supposed to stick and there's nothing else you can do other than stir, stir, stir. And then I befriended an Italian who used pasta that he had brought from Italy. He let it boil for a few minutes tops, stirred once or maximum twice, and it turned out perfectly al dente. That was when it clicked in my stupid brain and I was like, yeah, Italian pasta is definitely made different.
@@floraflowers use max power just to boil water then lower it put pasta and cook it slowly not fast.
Not tried New York pizza myself, I’m sure it’s awesome. But I have tried pizza many times in Naples, Brandi’s most specifically. It hails itself as the oldest pizzeria in the world. And it was incredible.
Loved the video, also love how comparing a new yorkian pizza to a pizza from naples is one of the most american thing ive heard
“This is a handsome pizza” what a perfect description 😂🍕
That pizza is a dapper gentleman.
We have a L’antica Pizzeria De Michele here in Dubai and it’s definitely the best pizzeria! Can’t wait to try the original place in Naples soon!
Marcus A good arrangement .... but believe me already from Birthplace to other locations placed in restant italian legions is another think....at least either at 35 km to naples ...is another think! i prefer not talking about REAL ITALIAN INGREDIENTS ...why i wish u can understand WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH ITEMS ...FOR ENTIRE THE WORLD ! HANDMADE-MANIFACTURE-ARTISANAL word is conceptually ( LIMITED EDITION ) the reverse/inverse of INDUSTRY MOOD ( EXTENDED EDITION) ...infact sarcasm apart .. u can see how in italy too we are touching the problem of UKRAINIAN - RUSSIAN FLOUR .... are u understanding from where comes from many " italian flour "?
Love both styles and all I can say is they are different, especially the cheese. The dough varies because everyone has different fermentation methods, which changes the texture, and flavor. Napoletana has Fresh Mozzarella instead of skim shredded, which usually soups the pizza a bit if still has some moisture in it, but the flavor and string of it is unbeatable.
Pizza is incredible and it's cool to see different adaptations of it in different countries.
Yeah this is why NYC is so often sold by the slice. Not much sauce, tons of full fat but dry cheese, medium thickness crust well browned on the bottom. They can make a pie then leave it out; they briefly pop it back in the oven and even if it's been left out for quite a bit it still tastes great. And in fact you can take the pie home on the train or have it delivered, or even have it cold in the morning. We have the fresh mozz pizza too, with its little dollops of mild cheese (which is all it can take of course!) on top of sauce and fresh basil. At those places obviously you scarf down a whole pie right away as fast as you can, that's only been made seconds before.
Brett's choice of Joe's is nothing short of bizarre though. Not that it's horrible or anything. But being from Long Island (in fact from of the more Italian-American parts) he should know better; I'm sure out there he passed several better pies on his way to elementary school!
The NYC pizza is just a piece of bread with mozzarella and tomato of poor quality, it's a whole other thing in Italy, indeed there.. is pizza 🤣
There's no style in usa...only wannabes
@@RpjCoso italian pizza doesn't have cheese, dough amd sauce
You can't compare la "Pizza a portafoglio" and "la Pizza Fritta da asporto" with the one you get to eat in a Pizzaria in Naples. The first two are "street food" the second is a blessing on earth.
I mean, they all looked like blessings to me...
I want to go to Italy and eat all the food. I want crunchy crust Italian pizza.
@@Logicalromulan come in Rome for crunchy pizza or Bologna or Genova
@@Logicalromulan trust me, our pizza is delicious, hope that someday you'll try it!
I'm Canadian and American of Italian heritage and I love the pizza in North America way more.
Thank you Brett, you bring justice in my Italian heart. After the news that claimed Chicago the capital of pizza I needed this type of video. ❤ One day I will try joe’s pizza, it’s a promise. 🇮🇹🇺🇸❤️
Chicago is the capital of deep dish pizza. I don’t think they ever claimed they were the capital of all pizza. Maybe I’m wrong
@@mattolson7037 it's not even that, Genova has way better focaccie than Chicago
@@ybd Focaccia and deep dish aren’t even close to the same thing
Since when Chicago is the capital of pizza? Whoever said that must have been high on coke 💀
@@ybd we're talking about deep dish pizza, not focaccia
The sadness was THICK when you dropped the slice of Joe’s Pizza. 🎉 😢 Have you tried St. Louis style pizza? Cracker-thin crust and Provel cheese. It’s an acquired taste, but I love it.
St. Louis style is definitely an acquired taste, lived there my entire life. I don’t care for it too much but the rest of my family swears by it. I prefer a Chicago or New York style pizza
In Naples they use Cow-buffalo mozzarella, i doubt you can find this cheese in the whole USA.
More, extra-virgin oil and tomato puree from Italy are fantastic.
That was fun .The pizza in Naples looked great, worth the 2 hr wait ,and the price was so affordable .Now the flight to Naples and hotel/Bnb ,for 2 must of been a bit expensive.
I’m sure he made it back lol
I’ve tried pizza in Italy: Rome, Naples & Venice. They’re good. But tbh, New Haven & NY style pizza is better, for me. It’s apples and oranges, really - both good but different.
I prefer dominos pizza tbh
FINALLY IN NAPLES. THANKS BRETT TO BRING MY CITY ON YOUR CHANNEL. SAD THAT WE CANT MEET BUT MAYBE NEXT TIME. KEEP DOING LIKE THAT!!
I'm from Naples, and I appreciate this video :D I always wanted to do this comparision but never got the chance so I'm simply glad that you made it for me :)
I am an Arabic guy and I love your voice, your English , because your accent is understood for me and for everyone that want improve his listening skills
I tried the most famous pizza spots in rome, naples and nyc and it´s not even close imo. Italian Pizza is way better. Comparing delicious roman style al taglio pizza from antico forno roscioli, bonci or casa manco or neapolitan pizza from damichele or starita to a place like joes pizza is like comparing martin scorsese to michael bay. not saying there isn´t good pizza in nyc but it´s just not on the same level.
This video is so dope and specific to your channel. I love it.
5:42
I just like how the woman is deciding how to proceed with a camera in front of her
I am italian and I have been both in NY and in Naples and to be honest I could not even compare the two pizzas, Napoli's pizza is the best no doubt, the ingredients makes the difference, I would rate the NY pizza 5/10, maybe I have tried the wrong one but still the Napoli's pizza could not be beaten by no one pizza in italy even with more sofisticate ingredients.
I appriciate your video, I would like to see other comparison even with american food made in italy. That would be funny.
@Phillip Banes Lol, you're tripping hard
@Phillip Banes Let me ask you this: have you ever tried a real pizza from Naples? I tried NY pizza (Sottocasa) and napolitan pizza. I can assure you, the pizza from Naples is on a whole other planet. They can't even be compared. I can assure you that "bland" is not the right adjective to describe such a masterpiece.
@Phillip Banes Cap, there's literally no "facts" in what you just said. You're just hurt, lol.
@Phillip Banes the pizza is not "bland", it has an entire history why it was made like this, it was made for poor people with poor ingredients, tomato sauce and mozzarella are easy to find in South Italy (the South of Italy makes a lot of fresh cheeses, and the North makes more aged cheese like grana padano and Parmigiano Reggiano), the dough was really similar to the one they used for bread, so get yourself some pizza history before speaking your "facts"
@Phillip Banes I'm waiting with you for your award
Can’t believe we took that Joe’s slice tot Italy😅😂 the things we do for the content lollll
Legend.
New York one dollar piece of pizza is so impressive to me because it just fit the lifestyle of this hustle and bustle city perfectly. It is so convenient for NYCers to keep their working state when they enjoy meals at the same time, let alone its affordable price, particularly for immigrants. 🤗
the nyc pizza he got is 4 dollars i heard but i wouldnt know, i live in europe
@@obloez4107 That's still a good value for one of the best slices in NYC. Dollar pizza is fine, but it's what you grab in a hurry because it's there, or because it's 1 am and you're drunk. But Joe's Pizza is a destination slice. Like, sometimes I wake up and think "yeah, I'll leave Brooklyn for a slice of that..."
‘I don’t think you can do it better than this…….. 9.6’ 😂😂😂
Watching this while eating a Pizza from Aldi - meanwhile people travel around the world to eat Pizza😂
3:20 Brett crying inside 🤣
Another awesome video Brett! The fried "pizza" looks a lot like the fried bread called tiganopsomo which we have here in Greece which is stuffed with feta mostly and it's delicious!
We also have that in the Western part of Romania called "langos". The two classic choices are either just fried and topped with a mixture of salt, pressed garlic and water (called "mujdei") or stuffed with "telemea" which is veeeery similar to feta except it's made from cow's milk rather than sheep's. It's such a delicious fix when you're out and about and feeling a bit hungry.
I’m from Germany and visit Italy lots of times (just 1 hour flight), ate so many kinds of pizzas there but “MANCO & MANCO” in ocean city, NJ is the best pizza I had!! Much better than in Italy, I’m so sorry to all my Italians ♥️
You hit your head during a turbulence?
@@FedericoCivitareale hahahaha 😂 no
I live in Germany and visited US for the first time recently. I love italian pizza BUT I also LOVEEDD NYC style pizza. :D
It’s all bullshit. Whoever shouts the loudest seems to brsinwash the public really well. Americans amazing at the ‘greatest ‘ chat. Great pizza everywhere globally. Let’s be honest , it’s not difficult to make.
@@JohnSmith-sm7ez you are right, but the ingredients count. There is difference between tasty pizza and good pizza. NYC pizza is full of oil and it is way more unhealthy than the Italian one. It is like doing lasagne with bechamel, it is tasty but anyone could do that, the real ability is in doing it tasty without all these unhealthy ingredients
Kinda unrelated from the video but I love this editing style, I occasionally find editing styles like this on other channels and it just gets me hook cause most of it makes me learn something new and just eye catching.
Fun fact: Did you know this guy is the son of Bud Bundy on the program Married with Children ❤
I do have to say I've been lucky enough to have pizza in NYS, down south, and the Midwest, and I've had pizza in Europe(Rome, Marseille, paris and London) I do have to say I like the pizza over in Europe, it's more fresh, the taste is fresher, and ingredients are way better. I do have to say the better pizza is on a side street, it's very expensive but so worth it.
Ok, I would love to travel to another galaxy to compare creatures 😌
Try Argentinian Pizzas, specially in Buenos Aires and believe me, there's no way back.
Argentina has an strong influence from Italian food bc their emigrants. The rest it's just an amazing mix between both cultures.
For me it's really good.
Not at the lvl of italian pizza but still a really good and enjoyable pizza.
But that's just my opinion.
I'm a Bronx Sicilian so I've had some really excellent pizza over the years, and I've tried the excellent pizzas of Naples, but the finest pizza I ever had was in Paestum. All ingredients were amazingly fresh, the buffala mozzarella was very local, the tomatoes from the fields across the street. Salerno was also a standout for pizza.
Welcome to Italy my friend 🇮🇹 🍕I Hope you enjoyed.
Anecdotally speaking, after being in Italy this summer and consuming Pizza (as well as other Italian foods), I did not experience extreme thirst compared to eating similar foods in the US - this could be due to the sodium levels, possibly the type of dough, etc - does anyone know is a NYC location that serves ‘authentic NY pizza’ ?
Feeling thirsty after eating pizza it's only because of the incomplete maturation of the dough.
@@gio7799 ... maybe more simple. Too much salt in the dough.
Some of best classic NYC pizzas are at Joe's (the one in the video), John's Pizza on Bleecker St (just around the corner from Joe's), Scarr's Pizza (the best slices in the city), Lombardi's (oldest pizzeria in America), Patsy's (now a franchise, but go to the original in East Harlem), and Prince St. Pizza (which is the original "Original Ray's" pizza). Go to Joe's, Scarr's, and Prince St. for slices, go to the others for a sit down with a whole pie. There's also legendary pizza in Brooklyn like Di Fara's, Totonno's, Lucali, etc. if you want to get out of Manhattan for a minute.
Great video comparison I think u should of compared lombardis especially since it’s the oldest in America from 1905 and the pizzas are very similar in the style, preparation and presentation. I’ve had lombardis as well as dimachele in Italy both equally good in their right. I also loved Grimaldis in Brooklyn…
Agreed
Waiting 2 hours for pizza in Italy is a real commitment. Not on my list to do.😊
you have to arrive early or just to another pizzeria, as good as michele.
That's actually top of my bucket list.
Hi Bert, you're right! I'm Neapolitan and I avoid every place where you have to stand in line on the street waiting for enter and eat! Luckily enough you can find pizzerias (mostly in the surroundings) where you can reserve a table in advance.
@@b13ne 👍
Not even the best one.
i’ve tried so many attempts at recreation of a good rustic margherita pizza in the states and the ingredients and vibe just aren’t the same as one you would get in naples
Remembering that there is PIZZA in SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL... one of the largest cities in the world, rich and strong in gastronomy, and the largest concentration of ITALIAN immigrants in the world... and for many they are the best PIZZAS in the world.
is sao paulo safe
the Italians pizza isn't done with cheese but with mozzarella
No, real Italian pizza is made with cheddar or blue cheese
So proud to be italian. We got the best food in the world not only pizza! Worddddd
Best simple food*
When it comes to more researched dishes, India, Japan, France... are way better
I'm Italian....you've never really seen pizza...in America you eat shit thinking it's good
Look at the typical European 🤭 thinking they are better than Americans. That pizza looks like trash to be honest . Doesnt compete with Chicago or Detroit .. get real
Yeah set the bias aside buddy. Watery sauce, paper thin cracker like crust, and minimal toppings will never be superior to American pizza. Maybe american pizza isn’t “authentic” but it’s its own thing and american pizza does it better than italian pizza.
Hey Brett, just a little advice from an Italian: first eat, then talk 😉 if the pizza cools down it's less delicious... I was impatient for you to start eating 😁
Congrats for the video, kutgw
As an Italian I have to say that from an American pizza I was genuinely expecting something terrible to come out; but I'm actually surprised by the look of Joe's pizza, I think that if you take an average pizza in Italy it would look really similar and that's a really impressive result!
Remember that even a mediocre pizza in Italy is still really good to eat, obviously compare the Joe's slice with that pizza from Napoli is no game, but still surprised that in America you can find pizza that isn't a warcrime!
I'm happy! 😁👍🏻
Come on!! Seriously, how can you think in America to have a better pizza than the Italian one, especially the one in Naples ? It was born in Naples they have been making it for centuries and you bring me a pizzeria in NY since 1975? You are a bit presumptuous! 🤦♂️😂😂😂
I've had many pizzas in both NYC & Italy.
NYC pizza is the best.
Pizza in Naples has a soggy base(like a wet sweaty gym shirt) with carcinogenic, bitter black spots all over. Topped with a watery, soupy sauce. A pizza so sloppy, it must be eaten with a knife and fork.
The cheese is good, but eat it fast! When the cheese cools, it turns to rubber.
Agree 100%. Your analysis is spot on.
New York pizza is definitely better than the pizza in Italy.
@@HunterBribing biggest joke
gotta love yanks who seriously think their pizza is the best on the planet, makes me want to kiss you on the firehead and pat you on the back
@@HunterBribing the nyv slice in this vid i wouldnt feed to my dog
I like American style pizza, and New York style pizza is definitely very good, but Neapolitan style pizza is way better in my opinion. American style pizzas really appeals to our gluttonous side with its salty, greasy cheese. But Neapolitan style pizzas have a bit more of a sophisticated flavor to it. The crust tastes like delicious, yeasty flat bread rather than just “pizza crust” flavor. The sauce is simplistic and more plain tomato flavor. The Mozzarella is less greasy and salty too. I don’t necessarily think you have to travel to Italy to have Neapolitan style pizza though. There are plenty of places in Italy that have bad Neapolitan style pizza, and plenty of places in the US that have good Neapolitan style pizza. All about finding a restaurant with good recipes. Who cares what country they are in.
Yep, most NYC tap water comes from the protected Catskills and the rest are somewhat protected as well in the Taconics.
I'm from Naples and to me the best pizzerie over here are "Antica pizzeria da Michele" and "Pepe in grani" (in Caiazzo, near caserta) but let me tell you, the concept of Slice of pizza, the american way, it's still something i do love and enjoy. It's a different concept, a different thing but still tasty. So i think anyone can enjoy pizza in both ways 😍
My fav slice would be the Pepperoni (that btw: in italian those are slice of SALAME 😂 it's alway funny to call it pepperoni, cause in italian PEPERONI (with one P) means Pepper 😂😂)
Thank you for being objective. I lived with an Italian roommate in Los Angeles for six years. He was from Firenze. And in addition to him I’ve known lots of other Europeans. They are often very biased in how they evaluate things, all they seem to care about is tradition, and they also can’t wrap their heads around the fact that it was inevitable that when Italian immigrants brought pizza to the United States they would develop a new and differentiated American style. Good NYC pizza is very, very good (and to be fair, there are places in NYC that do a bad job, you have to get good recommendations).
I prefer a New York style margherita/fresh mozz slice. Would have been a better comparison in my opinion too.
Pretty funny that Italian Americans think they invented it in NYC 😂
Be quiet
No Italian American thinks that.
Loved this video Brett! Can’t wait till the next episode
Coming over from the Metatron video... the NY part lost me at "slice" of Pizza. Then I remembered Pizza Hut at the mainstation on my commute (in Germany) offering that. But a real Pizza place offering slices...?
I’m here because Matt Patt and food theory is stupid.

THE "WORST" PIZZA YOU COULD EAT IN NAPLES WILL ALWAYS BE BY FAR THE BEST OF THE "PIZZAS" YOU WILL HAVE IN ALL THE OTHER CITIES OF THE WORLD, THAT'S FOR SURE!

Italian anyday, most Americans don't even know what a real pizza looks like.

Eaten both NYC and Neapolitan pizza (in Naples). They are different and brilliant in their own way. Naples tastes fresher with pillowy dough, tangy san marzano and milky fresh mozzarella.
One day gonna make a RUclips video of me going to Naples so I can try their pizza and have the video pay for the trip 😂
What a smooth transition at the beginning.👌

Wow amazing quality and food tour 😍 thanks for the effort you put in this video really enjoyed watching 👍
Excellent as always Brett!!
Brett, just watched this video like 4 times already.
As always, thanks for sharing bro.
Hey man very nice video. If you come back to our city i recommend you try out Pellone pizzeria. While Michele and sorbillo are the most famous i think they fell off theyr grace a little bit and pizzas are not as good as they used to be, they feel more rushed, still very good but not as they used to be. Another one definitely worth the try is Pepe in Grani in Caiazzo...you will not regret it.
Why he is so underrated
His videos are soo good
Napoli is a very unique city, life is different there and the culture of pizza is a lifestyle for the partenopeons. We can never compare the Neapolitan pizza to any other pizza in the world including other cities in Italy itself! Plus the price 5 or 6 euro for big pizza that is made with love and with fresh ingredients!
Wallet pizza is less juicy (so less oil and less cheese) because when you eat the pizza like that the bite gives pressure on the toppings, so everything comes outside and that's the last thing you want if you're eating while strolling around
Go eat in Pepe in Grani in Caserta...just outside Naples!
Brett, I’m from Naples, the fried pizza is one of the most appreciated pizza in Naples, not so popular in the world as Margherita.
Cant believe a Video Like this exists, people that didnt Go to italy dont even Know what real Pizza tastes Like.
Hands down, my grandma makes the best Italian pizza! Perfectly golden crunch (crunchy thick outside with the inside almost comparable to biting into a pillow/ perfectly cooked tomato sauce with a dash of her secret herbs/ finished with a multiple dashes of aged parmesan and mozzarella!
F your grandma she cooks terrible
It’s a pleasure for us neapolitans to have hosted u
Wow such Naples style margherita costs like 13-14 euros here in Finland... 5€ for a whole pizza is a damn bargain! Plus that pizza looked huge.
Yes but 5€ because Margherita is the cheapest and unfortunately in the last months it's price has increased to 6-7€. But as soon as you chose a different pizza, creative-style like they are on fashion also here in Naples, price rises to 9-10€. Still cheaper than abroad, I know, but not so cheap as it was traditionally.
Post Pizza Agony (PPA) is a feeling of dread shortly after eating any amount of pizza

You might have set a world record for distance between where a pizza was cooked and where the cheese fell off of it.
Although I haven’t been to Italy myself, I have a friend who has and he told me that American pizza is far superior. He told me italians use really watery sauce and the base is so thin that it’s almost like a cracker. Maybe that’s how authentic pizza is supposed to be like, but I love my American pizza
