@@genocider9782 you're correcting me like It changes so much, euro to usd exchange rate Is almost 1 to 1 right know and also in my experience living in Italy and going to naples literally this August that's a common price for a margherita.
yes because here in canada if i want a margherita its over 15$ if not over $20. mind you that's not even a real italian restaurant lmao. 7 euros or $ is absolutely cheap ! i'd be eating there every week !
Since he's a chef, I think he probably knows that. But for those that didn't, such as myself, a 90% hydration dough means that for 1kg of flour, you have 900g of water.
6:30 I'm from Sicily and my favourite pizza has no sauce, potato, Italian style sausage and lots of cheese. Potatoes is a very underrated topping for pizza, I love it.
A little note for everyone 1) Pizza with potatoes can be found everywhere in Italy and is one of the most eaten and consumed pizzas (especially by young people). the version with French fries, which is normally paired with hot dogs, and the one with baked potatoes, which is normally paired with sausage… but the variations are endless. 2) Pizza in Italy does not exist only in Naples, the Neapolitan one is certainly one of the most traditional (and personally the best); but there are numerous variations ... The Roman one is the most famous pizza in the world, low and crispier.
I would also add Pinsa for Roma, it is recent but really good. And since I'm from Turin I have to mention Pizza al Tegamino (or Pizza al Padellino). This is the traditional Pizza in Torino. And of course I cannot really finish my comment without Farinata.
tutto vero ma la pizza con patatine fritte e hot dog andrebbe bandita più di quella con l'ananas eppure tanti italiani privi di papille gustative la mangiano. Se mi dici pizza con patate penso a tutto tranne che a quella.

It's a fake news that Brandi are continuously spreading out: they actually just named a pizza from Queen Margherita in 1889, but the same pizza already existed since early 1800'
Italian tip: 1:31 I love how Guga is always super positive. "Cin cin" is "cheers" in Italian, but we use it only with drinks. We don't do that with food, I guess It's a bit weird
Yeah. The whole cheers thing he does when eating something is stupid. In Australia it’s the same.. you say cheers when having a drink, not when eating something
Yeh you’re right, but he’s making a show, he needs some kind of transition from speaking to eating. I get that it is weird but the reasoning behind doing it makes sense…
I've seen a lot of Italian Americans go crazy when someone puts potato on pizza, but growing up in Italy, my brother's favorite pizza was white sauce with french fries on top. Damn near every pizzeria had some version of it.
I've had potato on pizza at 2 places, one in Boise (that used to be good before the founders retired and sold it to a corporation) and at Messenger pizza in Nampa, Idaho. Not my favorite but good.
You fell for the fake tradition marketing: Brandi has no proof they were the first to invent pizza, in fact nobody does and there's no proof the dish was made for any Queen at any point
Not only that, but they’re trying to now say pizza fritte was invented after WW2, that’s ludicrous. My great grandmother was born in 1888 in Westchester NY. Her mother made it, so from at least 1850 it was a known dish. Additionally, a virtually identical item was made by Roman Jews going back to the second century. Why do people think so many things were invented within the last half century. Life existed prior to the current generation’s existence.
I'm glad I ain't the only one who scoffs at people claiming "The birth place" the "The original home of" foods. Unless it's a modern dish, 99% of particular dishes are untraceable to its origin, humans have been cooking for a long ass time and accurate and truthful fact keeping of food origin is basically impossible to find.
I went to Pizza I Masanielli two years ago almost and had a similar but opposite experience. That night, their pizza margherita was exquisite (or it may have been their DOC pizza) but the futuro di marinara was overcooked and bad. We had a midnight reservation and they did get us in fairly close to our time with many people waiting outside, but once we got in the servers were a little hard to get the attention of so we could order more wine. I would go to Masanielli again but our favorite pizza in Italy was Re Pazzo in Naples. They also have the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had.
As a chef and food passionate I have to say that a lot of people should learn about how to eat and how to recognize good quality from bad quality food. This is something that most of the times is related to what you were used to eat in your childhood, I mean the food culture that your parents have transmitted to you. I refuse to believe that you tasted a bad pizza at I masanielli. A place that has been awarded as the best pizza restaurant in the world multiple times. And there are millions of restaurants that make pizza around the world. I know the place and there is no doubt that they do make high quality pizza, with innovations technique and very high quality products. Everyone has different preferences and of course there isn t a real world best pizza. But the quality of a product should be recognized even if it isn t your favorite above all.

I really appreciate that the Frita Pizza guys did not claim "the best pizza in Italy" but instead "the king of pizza frita," seemingly giving a nod to the best pizza artists, and acknowledging fried pizza is different.
Pizza Fritta. In Italian the adjective almost everytimes goes after. And remember double consonants. They are very important in italian, because they sound different and may be two different words with or without the doubling. In this case frita means nothing so none should mistake it for anything else, but pay attention because this is not always the case.
@@T1ddlywinks the dough is different and the traditional filling is also different. Just the shape is quite similar, almost the same. Panzerotti and Calzoni tend to have a more regular crescent shape though.
My go to personal pizza that I do at home is sweet potato diced and spiced with touch of paprika and bit of oil - baked for a bit and then spooned on top the prepped pizza and baked. Gotta say I like it and it’s easily in my pizza variety rotation when sausage or pepperoni isn’t top of mind.
4:59 In México we have a place called "Little Caesars", it's not a fancy restaurant or anything like that, but, we have something called the "Hot & ready" and it's an 8 sliced pizza that cost 80 pesos (4 dollars aprox.).

It's not difficult to make a potato pizza if you find the ingredients, but to make It soft and with the right consistency is something you need years to achieve
We've got potato pizza in Canada, it's one of my favorites and even though ours is pretty different, I knew this would be great. +1 for Guga attempting this pizza.
@@erlumen7775 I dunno a wet dough for me would be difficult to work with, especially if I want to try to make this gluten-free due to having celiac disease.. the other ones I'm able to do pretty easily..
Pizza with potatoes is a STANDARD of Roman pizza. Especially when we talk about pizza al tajo. And I’m not talking about fries, but about thin slices of roasted potatoes, mozzarella, and maybe some rosemary on top. It’s the perfect slice of carbs to help you go through a long day.
Because this is how true italian cuisine is,the socials have made us into food extremists, but in reality we have always been (and in many ways still are) really creative in the kitchen, we have a few "rules" but they mostly rely on the idea of pairing and balancing what you eat
These foods are called "frittatine" and they're re made out of uneaten pasta that gets reused to make a fried sphere filled with cheese, pepper, peas, groundbeef etc. They're not considered pasta but their own version of street food
@@e39shady people don't get that pinapple pizza isn't hated cause of the combo (since there are stranger ones) but cause in most cases it's not done in a good pizzeria since they avoid having too sweet and wet pizzas cause of a topping, like 2-5% of places make it even in Italy and just a few are better than average ones
5:05 😂😂editors deserve a rase, anyway good video, im from italy and you like how you show our goods parts of the city. In italian: sei un grande bro hai spaccatoo
Best pizzas i ever had were both from Caiazzo. Pepe in Grani for special occasions, but for more traditional (no less delicious) pizza, his family's piazza, Osterica was the way to go
Italians: Throw anything on top of bread and call it a pizza Sam Papadopoulos: Look guys i thrown pineapple on it, it's pineapple pizza! Italians: NOOOOOOOOOOOO IT'S NOT, only Italians get to do that!
Italians too busy making fun of you instead of gettin mad of what you use for topping a pizza? You think thats the only abomination outside italy ahahhahaha
I like that, this time, Guga just lowered himself to the same level as us mortals that are not RUclipsrs, and just said plainly that the scope of this video was crowning the best pizza in the world ACCORDING TO HIM. Good job, Guga! Keep it simple and enjoy every little thing my Country has to offer. I recommend you to watch some video from Gambero Rosso's Giorgione. You will bloody love the guy! At least his recipes...
Saw the fan pedal for the pizza oven….. lol practiced black smithing for 5yrs+….. lol fire makes smiles especially with a coal forge. 😅 never a fire hazard!
This channel has given you such an amazing and unique opportunity to meet so many wonderful masters of cooking! I’m so jealous you are able to get such a wonderful and once in a lifetime experiences!
Italians. Fold up an entire pizza as “on the go street food”. They’re all still thin and beautiful. Really makes you suspicious of the crap they put in modern foods.
@@jonathanmassaro3142out of the approximately 200 countries of the world Italy is ranked 119th in their obesity rate. Higher rankings mean more obesity. Italy has a 17.97% obesity rate. The US is ranked 10th with an obesity rate of 41.64%. By any metric Italy is quite low on the obesity spectrum. And to be clear, the overwhelming majority, almost all, of countries with less obesity than Italy are poverty-stricken third world countries or countries that are just coming to prominence. There are a few exceptions, but not many. By the numbers, for a high income country, Italy is very near the bottom for obesity.
@@jonathanmassaro3142 People are so obsessed w statistics and videos they see online that they never actually go outside and experience it for themselves lmfao. Ty for telling them how it is
@@cross9508 yeah, but that's not "obsession". It is a confirmation bias (or cherry picking bias). To have a lower obese rate doesn't mean all Italians are beautiful and fit. Also, nobody cares about statistical trends. You cannot simply look at the punctual statistic.
when someone is straight forward and good at what she does best. People will always speak for them. For me I can would say give Mrs Moraine of finance education a try and you be happy you did
I make chicken cutlets and I use butter with the bread crumbs and marinade the chicken in Italian dressing. It makes the best chicken every time. Also cook it in butter too.
Pizza Fritta is much older then what we know as neapolitan pizza EDIT: You have to understand that vor the normal people 100+ years it was impossible to have a pizza oven, or even remotly to that. But oil for frying yes.
That's not quite right. Originally people cooked in shared ovens, often bakeries after they closed. Oil was very very out of reach to everyone but royalty until about 1856. Before that all oil was pressed, even with ultra modern presses like the Dutch tamper press in 1600 it was still not viable for the masses to have enough oil to fry at home. In 1750 the roll mill was invented in England by smeaton, later the hydraulic press by Bramah, between these two English inventions oil was able to be mass produced and available to most of society.
A pizza oven can be cheaply made out of bricks, bit of wood for the heat.. presto, done. And like @sarchlalaith8836 said, people in cities used the ovens from bakeries.
@@sarchlalaith8836 But pizza is more recent than you think, especially the margaritha - we have no record of margaritha existing until the 1930s. And pizza fritta is definitely older - yes, oil was expensive, but who said it was always food for peasants?
Guga the cured meat in the pizza fritta is called cicoli, that is basically pork fat boiled for days in copper containers, btw, next time you come to naples you have to try pizza parigina, thats a more type of rustic pizza, and usually people think its called parigina because it comes from paris, but its actually from neapolitan dialect "pa'rigin", meaning "for the queen", really suggest you trying one! Really enjoy your videos keep the taste always up bro💪
so happy to see maestro Susta getting the recognition he deserves! for me he is the underrated crazy Dough scientist. but every respectable pizzeria goes to him for consultation regarding doughs.
holy smokes, i havent watched youtube in a while and by proxy Guga but can we just appreciate how much weight he lost. Great work Guga, keep it up!!! The pizza looks amazing too haha
Dude you definitely need to come to Sardinia and try our cuisine. Pasta, meats, cheeses, fish and sweets, everything is delicious here. You won't be disappointed
Great collection! I bought my first LV when I was 25 and I've only used that bag a few times haha. Also, I love your clutch! I have an Eva clutch with the DE print and I love the little chain. But I don't want to spend that much money right now and the kislux always gets me the bag I want and it's just as good as the LV and one of my favorites. Durability
@@Brotato.mr.potato23 this is not a budget challenge. dude is at a restaurant in Italy which is also a tourist spot. The price is pretty reasonable considering that
For me, the thin crust pizzas with fresh toppings in Rome are the best. I lived there for 16 months & never once stood in line for pizza. Our favorite Indian restaurant, that was another story.
A local gourmet Italian restaurant near my house makes a potato pizza - named Patate E Salsiccia (potato and sausage). It has the aforementioned two ingredients (specifically pork sausage), as well as rosemary and Pecorino cheese. It's delicious!
3:18 Im sorry but this movie base margherita looks so unappetizing that it honestly looks grosser than little ceasars pizza. What? Just 3 and 1/8 basil on an entire pie? Appalling...
Pizza fritta is the most traditional pizza in Naples. As a street food it was way more popular than pizza cooked in the oven. It's worth seeing L'Oro di Napoli, a great film from 1954 in which Sofia Loren sold fried pizzas cooked by her husband in a pan full of oil. Frying was a much cheaper cooking method, so in post-war Italy, poor and devastated, it was very easy to find kiosks selling fried pizza. The tradition of selling fried food on the streets and pizzas is very ancient, we still have the pots of oil arranged in an orderly fashion in the site of Pompeii, accompanied by frescoes depicting banquets where you can also observe beautiful pizzas topped with seafood. Then some clever people can even boast of having invented pizza, but they will only be able to convince a few gullible tourists.
Pizza as we know it today originated in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century. However, the concept of flatbread with toppings has ancient roots that can be traced back to various cultures, including those in North Africa and the Middle East2. For example, Persian soldiers in 500 B.C. were known to fry flatbread on their shields and top it with cheese and dates. So, while modern pizza is Italian, the idea of flatbread with toppings has a much broader history that includes influences from North Africa and other regions.
In reality nobody knows exactly where the first pizza margherita was made, many pizzeria claim that, it's almost a joke, but all pizza in Napoli are amazing!
When you said potato pizza, I was thinking the dough was going to be made with potatoes. The first thing I thought of was the Spudnut shop in my hometown of El Dorado, Arkansas where they've been making potato donuts since the 60's I think, maybe longer. You don't know what a good donut is until you've had a spudnut. I was like hell yeah, a pizza made with potato dough! I was disappointed to find out that wasn't the case, but if you say it's great, then that is still good. :)
3:58 Guga says ".. but with great quality ingredients you would expect from italy". While the pizza maker is putting seed oil on top of the pizza instead of extravirgin olive oil (that is of course to save money on one of the most expensive ingredients in a pizza, but even though the pizza might still end up being good, seed oil it's not good quality nor good at all). I'm italian: seed oil on a pizza is only something you see in turistic places to save money. :'''')
anche a me è saltato subito all'occhio... sinceramente è vergognoso, farà parte anche della tradizione (che comunque la pizza è sempre stata cucina povera) ma nel 2024 mettere l'olio di semi sulla pizza per risparmiare è da cani. E' più rispettoso alzare i prezzi che fare del male alla gente e al territorio. E chi dice che è più delicato e si usa per non coprire i sapori o tenere meglio il punto di fumo è solo un cretino o mente.🔪
Solo perché hai visto l'olio un po' più trasparente? Guarda che l'EVO perde naturalmente il suo colore verdastro col tempo, soprattutto quello artigianale con un alto residuo che col tempo si deposita
Why does the video description say you flew to Florence, while the whole video takes place in Naples? (UPDATE: I just noticed you have a video about steak in Florence) I hoped you also tried other styles of pizza in Italy. Here in Florence thin pizzas are more common than thick "naples-style" pizzas, and I like them very much!
Guga you have to come back to Italy! The best pizza in the world is PEPE IN GRANI, near Caserta. Maybe soon will be the first pizzeria to get a michelin star, thats the level of it.
parafrasando Gualtiero Marchesi, i francesi con le loro stellette se ne vadano a cagare. Non devono insegnare né certificare niente a nessuno, specie agli Italiani. Fra l'altro, senza nulla togliere a Pepe in Grandi, ma si da che le stelle michelin sono una mezza mafia. Si paga per avere una stella, non è solo un riconoscimento di merito. Fossi ristoratore mi rifiuterei categoricamente di aderire a questo stupido sistema e fra l'altro rivendicherei con orgoglio la parola Cuoco, basta con questo Chef da tutte le parti.
i see a lot of people commenting on how potato on pizza is common in italy, but that's not the point of his favorite pizza. the dough is very special and unique to that restaurant, which is also a very important factor

We've got potato pizza in Canada, it's one of my favorites and even though ours is pretty different, I knew this would be great. +1 for Guga attempting this pizza.
@@erlumen7775 I dunno a wet dough for me would be difficult to work with, especially if I want to try to make this gluten-free due to having celiac disease.. the other ones I'm able to do pretty easily..
I think the dough sounds good... But I'd not top that with potato. I want toppings that kick savory taste up.
Pizza with potatoes is a STANDARD of Roman pizza. Especially when we talk about pizza al tajo. And I’m not talking about fries, but about thin slices of roasted potatoes, mozzarella, and maybe some rosemary on top. It’s the perfect slice of carbs to help you go through a long day.
Yeah, pizza with sliced potatoes, pepper and rosemary is a roman classic.
And it's not an easy pizza to make.
Pizza tajo or "pizza al taglio"?
@@kirjia5233 "pizza al taglio" in italian. "pizza ar tajo" in roman dialect, with the "j" pronounced as an "y"
@ “al tajo” in Roman dialect, “al taglio” in Italian.
4:37 lmao 🤣🤣🤣 Do a challenge - Angel eats greens or he gets dry aged
People tastes like pork. Just dry age a pig that is finished on steak.
I this context „boom! roasted!” meme gets more new meaning.
Ahhh yesss and he’ll look like bacon and smell like trash for a week 🤣🤣🤣
Gotta love the Angel-abuse 😂

Yesss that’s what I’m thinking about brother ❤❤❤❤
Guga brother you are lookin healthy my friend good job!
Italians: "If you cut the pasta, you should be put in jail"
Also italians: "Just put the pizza in the oven or deep fry it, whatever"
also Italians: "What? I don't care what they do, I do it this way"
Because this is how true italian cuisine is,the socials have made us into food extremists, but in reality we have always been (and in many ways still are) really creative in the kitchen, we have a few "rules" but they mostly rely on the idea of pairing and balancing what you eat
These foods are called "frittatine" and they're re made out of uneaten pasta that gets reused to make a fried sphere filled with cheese, pepper, peas, groundbeef etc.
They're not considered pasta but their own version of street food
@@tommasobianchi5496 so pineapple on pizza is acceptable? :D
@@e39shady people don't get that pinapple pizza isn't hated cause of the combo (since there are stranger ones) but cause in most cases it's not done in a good pizzeria since they avoid having too sweet and wet pizzas cause of a topping, like 2-5% of places make it even in Italy and just a few are better than average ones
5:05 😂😂editors deserve a rase, anyway good video, im from italy and you like how you show our goods parts of the city.
In italian: sei un grande bro hai spaccatoo
Best pizzas i ever had were both from Caiazzo. Pepe in Grani for special occasions, but for more traditional (no less delicious) pizza, his family's piazza, Osterica was the way to go
01:46 did the lady steal the purse or was it hers?
Lol, no. That's the same lady that appears at 04:10. I think it's Vito's wife or maybe niece/sister?
Bro my jaw dropped and went straight to comments when i saw that🤣
I think she stole his purse
@@paultruzzi911 You're worse than Toby.

Guga needs to recreate the pizza fritta for the boys.
After watching this, I am going straight to Costco to get my $1.50 pizza with coke! Now that's a deal.
When I see Vito and Guga do a video together, I know it's going to be a good one.

Good for you Guga. I have't watched any of your new stuff in a while. But your weight lose is awesome good on you man!
My favorite is Starita. That mortadella pizza with pistachio cream was simply amazing and the best I had in Naples in all the times I've gone.
3:58 what the hell that's not olive oil
Guga is so humble i like it ❤
Pizza Fritta and in general pizza in Napoli is absolute love, Napoli is such a stunning food city!
You gotta wait that long cuz every youtuber is sitting there ordering 5 pizzas :P hahaha Love ya Guga!
Italians: Throw anything on top of bread and call it a pizza
Sam Papadopoulos: Look guys i thrown pineapple on it, it's pineapple pizza!
Italians: NOOOOOOOOOOOO IT'S NOT, only Italians get to do that!
Pineapple on pizza should be forbidden. 😤
On behalf of Greeks everywhere, we apologise...
(Although, Canada and Cyprus really hold the blame here)
@@StergiosMekras no we don't! Τα σπάει, γιατί να απολογηθώ;!
The only issue I have with it is using canned pineapple. However I'm also quite heretic for Italian standards lol
Italians too busy making fun of you instead of gettin mad of what you use for topping a pizza? You think thats the only abomination outside italy ahahhahaha
I don't get why you think potatoes on pizza are a weird thing. It's like the second most popular pairing in Italy after tomato.
because you will never EVER see that in the states
@@spiritpyros Bar Pizza in New Haven CT is well known for their potato pizza
@@spiritpyros There is a pizza chain in Maine called Otto's that makes the best mashed potato pizza ever, I would recommend trying it at some point
The US is weird
@@spiritpyros I've seen it. But anyway Guga has been to Naples and Rome where you find potato on pizza everywhere.
I like that, this time, Guga just lowered himself to the same level as us mortals that are not RUclipsrs, and just said plainly that the scope of this video was crowning the best pizza in the world ACCORDING TO HIM.
Good job, Guga! Keep it simple and enjoy every little thing my Country has to offer.
I recommend you to watch some video from Gambero Rosso's Giorgione.
You will bloody love the guy! At least his recipes...
8:15 Excuse me what?
No Diddy.
Stop the cringe pls
Guga you're a gem and many people in this video made me proud of being italian. Good job everybody much love
Saw the fan pedal for the pizza oven….. lol practiced black smithing for 5yrs+….. lol fire makes smiles especially with a coal forge. 😅 never a fire hazard!
This man never misses a chance to diss salt bae 😂
Rightfully so!!
My friend Stephan here in Pattaya makes the worlds best Pizza. He will open a store here soon.
Australia:Are we a JOKE to you?
This channel has given you such an amazing and unique opportunity to meet so many wonderful masters of cooking! I’m so jealous you are able to get such a wonderful and once in a lifetime experiences!
Italians. Fold up an entire pizza as “on the go street food”. They’re all still thin and beautiful. Really makes you suspicious of the crap they put in modern foods.
No madame, we are not. But if you came from the USA i can understand why you had such an impression
@@jonathanmassaro3142out of the approximately 200 countries of the world Italy is ranked 119th in their obesity rate. Higher rankings mean more obesity. Italy has a 17.97% obesity rate. The US is ranked 10th with an obesity rate of 41.64%.
By any metric Italy is quite low on the obesity spectrum. And to be clear, the overwhelming majority, almost all, of countries with less obesity than Italy are poverty-stricken third world countries or countries that are just coming to prominence. There are a few exceptions, but not many. By the numbers, for a high income country, Italy is very near the bottom for obesity.
@williameldridge9382 the world is not splitted between "obese vs fit". There is a full spectrum. Trust me, I'm Italian. I know what i see everyday.
@@jonathanmassaro3142 People are so obsessed w statistics and videos they see online that they never actually go outside and experience it for themselves lmfao. Ty for telling them how it is
@@cross9508 yeah, but that's not "obsession". It is a confirmation bias (or cherry picking bias). To have a lower obese rate doesn't mean all Italians are beautiful and fit. Also, nobody cares about statistical trends. You cannot simply look at the punctual statistic.
I like Gugga as a tv host for food. Hes good and we know he knows what he is talking about!
I'm favoured, $22K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.

I make chicken cutlets and I use butter with the bread crumbs and marinade the chicken in Italian dressing. It makes the best chicken every time. Also cook it in butter too.
Pizza Fritta is much older then what we know as neapolitan pizza
EDIT: You have to understand that vor the normal people 100+ years it was impossible to have a pizza oven, or even remotly to that. But oil for frying yes.
That's not quite right.
Originally people cooked in shared ovens, often bakeries after they closed.
Oil was very very out of reach to everyone but royalty until about 1856.
Before that all oil was pressed, even with ultra modern presses like the Dutch tamper press in 1600 it was still not viable for the masses to have enough oil to fry at home.
In 1750 the roll mill was invented in England by smeaton, later the hydraulic press by Bramah, between these two English inventions oil was able to be mass produced and available to most of society.
@@sarchlalaith8836 can you link me the source
@@MrBoesartighow about you link your source first!
A pizza oven can be cheaply made out of bricks, bit of wood for the heat.. presto, done.
And like @sarchlalaith8836 said, people in cities used the ovens from bakeries.
@@sarchlalaith8836 But pizza is more recent than you think, especially the margaritha - we have no record of margaritha existing until the 1930s. And pizza fritta is definitely older - yes, oil was expensive, but who said it was always food for peasants?
Guga, thanks for visiting Italy and enjoying its food.
i grew up eating bone marrow on toast with potato and mustard it's so good. potato on bread sounds strange but it's amazing.
Potato bread with Texas BBQ 10/10
Brit here. Chip butties are loved for a reason.
Guga the cured meat in the pizza fritta is called cicoli, that is basically pork fat boiled for days in copper containers, btw, next time you come to naples you have to try pizza parigina, thats a more type of rustic pizza, and usually people think its called parigina because it comes from paris, but its actually from neapolitan dialect "pa'rigin", meaning "for the queen", really suggest you trying one! Really enjoy your videos keep the taste always up bro💪
1:38 in and get two ads. Come on!!!!!

so happy to see maestro Susta getting the recognition he deserves! for me he is the underrated crazy Dough scientist. but every respectable pizzeria goes to him for consultation regarding doughs.
11:02 that side-eye is insane😂😂😂
Guga is business-savy! He goes to Italy with his wife and makes it a tax write-off by making You-Tube videos! 😂😂😂❤❤❤👍
Potato pizza in Denmark is quite normal. We love it here 😅
holy smokes, i havent watched youtube in a while and by proxy Guga but can we just appreciate how much weight he lost. Great work Guga, keep it up!!! The pizza looks amazing too haha
7:00 he said the thing.
Amazing video! Vito Iacopelli is the god of pizza, and his pizza masterclass is so useful!
Dude you definitely need to come to Sardinia and try our cuisine. Pasta, meats, cheeses, fish and sweets, everything is delicious here. You won't be disappointed

12:48 "Price is reasonable" Bro the Pepsi was 12€ and waters were 3€ a pop. For 55€ they can probably make 150 of those pizzas.
They ordered four Pepsis for 3€ each.
@@juniorslice9618 I could buy a Pepsi for way less
@@Brotato.mr.potato23 this is not a budget challenge. dude is at a restaurant in Italy which is also a tourist spot. The price is pretty reasonable considering that
Same thing in Canada
@@Brotato.mr.potato23this is Europe not cheap made American crap with corn syrup.
For me, the thin crust pizzas with fresh toppings in Rome are the best. I lived there for 16 months & never once stood in line for pizza. Our favorite Indian restaurant, that was another story.
A local gourmet Italian restaurant near my house makes a potato pizza - named Patate E Salsiccia (potato and sausage). It has the aforementioned two ingredients (specifically pork sausage), as well as rosemary and Pecorino cheese. It's delicious!
0:50 fun story but not true, its a myth unfortunately
You're wrong! It's a fact!
@@MrRepsie[citation needed]
The editors did u dirty tho 😂😂... that 7$ pizza add was on point...
3:18 Im sorry but this movie base margherita looks so unappetizing that it honestly looks grosser than little ceasars pizza. What? Just 3 and 1/8 basil on an entire pie? Appalling...
I start to think that Guga lost all that weight just for this European Series xD It's really cool to watch :)
12:46 My man didnt notice the extra 12,00€ pepsi lmao
funky receipt, seems like the pepsi was three euros, and they bought four of those
i can really tell the one with the potatos is the best one, i wish i could go there and eat on my self, good video sir.
Welcome to Italy my friend!!🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
5:00 Pizza Hut Jumpscare
Pizza fritta is the most traditional pizza in Naples. As a street food it was way more popular than pizza cooked in the oven.
It's worth seeing L'Oro di Napoli, a great film from 1954 in which Sofia Loren sold fried pizzas cooked by her husband in a pan full of oil.
Frying was a much cheaper cooking method, so in post-war Italy, poor and devastated, it was very easy to find kiosks selling fried pizza.
The tradition of selling fried food on the streets and pizzas is very ancient, we still have the pots of oil arranged in an orderly fashion in the site of Pompeii, accompanied by frescoes depicting banquets where you can also observe beautiful pizzas topped with seafood.
Then some clever people can even boast of having invented pizza, but they will only be able to convince a few gullible tourists.
Pizza as we know it today originated in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century. However, the concept of flatbread with toppings has ancient roots that can be traced back to various cultures, including those in North Africa and the Middle East2. For example, Persian soldiers in 500 B.C. were known to fry flatbread on their shields and top it with cheese and dates.
So, while modern pizza is Italian, the idea of flatbread with toppings has a much broader history that includes influences from North Africa and other regions.
Roberto and Guga look like brothers ❤
Michele's queue was crazy, so I sat down at a restaurant next door. Fantastic too. Then last week I went to Michele in Tokyo (Ebisu) and it was great.
Guga making a pizza video to write off his paris trip with his wife... priceless
Damn Guga, you should go to Europe more, the food and quality is on another level. Love it!
Chef Roberto looks like he could be Gugas brother 😂😂
incredible that u had Vito as your guide haha
I want to try that potato pizza!
You had me for a moment with that Pizza Hut cut away. I honestly thought it was an ad at first.
In reality nobody knows exactly where the first pizza margherita was made, many pizzeria claim that, it's almost a joke, but all pizza in Napoli are amazing!
Girlfriend is Brazilian. She loves potatoes and it seems to be cultural. Not a surprise that Guga would like the potato pizza
When you said potato pizza, I was thinking the dough was going to be made with potatoes. The first thing I thought of was the Spudnut shop in my hometown of El Dorado, Arkansas where they've been making potato donuts since the 60's I think, maybe longer. You don't know what a good donut is until you've had a spudnut. I was like hell yeah, a pizza made with potato dough! I was disappointed to find out that wasn't the case, but if you say it's great, then that is still good. :)
3:58 Guga says ".. but with great quality ingredients you would expect from italy". While the pizza maker is putting seed oil on top of the pizza instead of extravirgin olive oil (that is of course to save money on one of the most expensive ingredients in a pizza, but even though the pizza might still end up being good, seed oil it's not good quality nor good at all). I'm italian: seed oil on a pizza is only something you see in turistic places to save money. :'''')
anche a me è saltato subito all'occhio... sinceramente è vergognoso, farà parte anche della tradizione (che comunque la pizza è sempre stata cucina povera) ma nel 2024 mettere l'olio di semi sulla pizza per risparmiare è da cani. E' più rispettoso alzare i prezzi che fare del male alla gente e al territorio.
E chi dice che è più delicato e si usa per non coprire i sapori o tenere meglio il punto di fumo è solo un cretino o mente.🔪
Solo perché hai visto l'olio un po' più trasparente? Guarda che l'EVO perde naturalmente il suo colore verdastro col tempo, soprattutto quello artigianale con un alto residuo che col tempo si deposita
Guga: pizza with potatoes???
Mexican me: LETS GO!!!!!!!
Great job editors.. Read my mind. Guy a great laugh out of that.
As soon as Guga mentioned that she didn't like eating her greens just like Angel I'm pretty sure he was watching this and was already having PTSD.😂
Guga you look amazing! Loving the weight loss
Why does the video description say you flew to Florence, while the whole video takes place in Naples? (UPDATE: I just noticed you have a video about steak in Florence) I hoped you also tried other styles of pizza in Italy. Here in Florence thin pizzas are more common than thick "naples-style" pizzas, and I like them very much!
Guga you have to come back to Italy! The best pizza in the world is PEPE IN GRANI, near Caserta. Maybe soon will be the first pizzeria to get a michelin star, thats the level of it.
parafrasando Gualtiero Marchesi, i francesi con le loro stellette se ne vadano a cagare. Non devono insegnare né certificare niente a nessuno, specie agli Italiani. Fra l'altro, senza nulla togliere a Pepe in Grandi, ma si da che le stelle michelin sono una mezza mafia. Si paga per avere una stella, non è solo un riconoscimento di merito. Fossi ristoratore mi rifiuterei categoricamente di aderire a questo stupido sistema e fra l'altro rivendicherei con orgoglio la parola Cuoco, basta con questo Chef da tutte le parti.
i see a lot of people commenting on how potato on pizza is common in italy, but that's not the point of his favorite pizza. the dough is very special and unique to that restaurant, which is also a very important factor
