Raffaele Esposito's pizzeria, which was called "Pizzeria di Pietro", was later renamed "Pizzeria Brandi" because he was known as Raffaele Esposito Brandi, taking his wife's name, Maria Giovanna Brandi, because even if he was a man, he used his wife's name to have better credibility in front of the Queen's staff, since Esposito was universally recognized as the surname of orphans and bastards.

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.

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.
Hi there! The pizza you ate at Michele's style is called "a rot e' carrett" (tr.: cartwheel) and the dough is worked to be stretched out as much as possible so the base gets very thin with a low crust and cooks very fast, and in the past it used to be the standard in Naples, before what most of pizzeria's now make: the "contemporanea" (tr. contemporary) which is instead smaller, thicker, and with a high and soft crust. Another type you can find in Naples is the "canotto" (tr. dinghy): the smallest in size but not the lightest. It is very concentrated in the crust which is large and soft and make up a sort of dam around the very generous toppings, just like a proper dinghy, but I doubt it will float on water though!
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
4:55 everywhere outside touristy areas. Normal price for a margherita today is 5-6 euros (which is already a lot, since a few years ago it was 4), they charge more only where the tourists are or if the pizzeria wants to be "gourmet" with doc and dop ingredients on the menu
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.
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
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.
@@GiovanniAngelucci-xx4xu sound like you can't accept they might not have delivered on the day. Your post come across an patronising and you have absolutely no idea of Thomas's background or how much quality food he is been exposed to at the end of the day that was his experience. It is become a cultural norm to go over the top for stuff like this because his experience didn't match your expectations, and also you are implying things he didn't actual say. There is passion and there is also being a food fundamentalist.
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.
the mozzarella in pizza fritta is completely different because it's provola (another cheese) as you can see it's more yellow. But yeah, everything is so good in Naples.
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!
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
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.
I'm shocked how little foreigners know about pizza, there isn't only one kind of pizza even if they look the same, Pizza Romana is slimmer and ceunchier, Pizza Napoletana is softer and with high crust, then you have the "Ciccio" in puglia which is a pizza with no mozzarella and sauce, then you have derivatives like Pinsa, Focaccia barese, Focaccia Genovese, Focaccelle dell'Esselunga or if you close it up you have Pizza Fritta, Calzoni, Panzerotti fritti baresi, Panzerotti al forno and many other
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.). I mean, when you are hungry, don't have a lot of money, and you want something fast, this is a great choice.
😂😂😂 i was lookin for the goat comment. Here it is. Little ceasers hahaha.... Dont get me wrong, i love little ceasers. One of the few ways to feed the homies on a budget
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.
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!
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
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.

If you're in the North Park area of San Diego, please try Gelati & Peccati. You might find slices of their Pizza Lussuria: potatoes, mozzarella, prosciutto crudo, and black pepper
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?
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!

@@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.

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.

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!

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
Guga brother you are lookin healthy my friend good job!
4:55 everywhere outside touristy areas. Normal price for a margherita today is 5-6 euros (which is already a lot, since a few years ago it was 4), they charge more only where the tourists are or if the pizzeria wants to be "gourmet" with doc and dop ingredients on the menu
MAKE THAT AT HOME WE WANT TO SEE!!!! POTATO PIZZA! POTATO PIZZA! YOU CAN DOOO IT! 😎😎🥰🥰🤗🤗🔥🔥
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
POTATO PIZZA!
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.
@@baroncicala1934pepper….
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
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
This is 100% true
All this history is lost and or a big fat lie like everything in this world
pizza was created in America
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.
@@GiovanniAngelucci-xx4xu sound like you can't accept they might not have delivered on the day. Your post come across an patronising and you have absolutely no idea of Thomas's background or how much quality food he is been exposed to at the end of the day that was his experience. It is become a cultural norm to go over the top for stuff like this because his experience didn't match your expectations, and also you are implying things he didn't actual say. There is passion and there is also being a food fundamentalist.
When I see Vito and Guga do a video together, I know it's going to be a good one.
is this that song that plays when you buy a cake from those huge red cake dispensing machines in tourist areas and airports?

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.
In Sicily a lot of the white pizzas had potatoes, I really enjoyed it
Calabria as well...
I would not want potatoes on my pizza.... Too bland.
Potato on pizza's good, more places need to try it, same goes for eggs on pizza
im italian and i even put fries on my pizza@@tanikokishimoto1604
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.
i think angel just found his soulmate 4:37
the mozzarella in pizza fritta is completely different because it's provola (another cheese) as you can see it's more yellow. But yeah, everything is so good in Naples.
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!
Guga needs to recreate the pizza fritta for the boys.
Margherita pizza made with buffalo mozzarella and sauce made from the local tomatoes was delicious.
buffalo cheese does elevate it nicely ...
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
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.
I'm shocked how little foreigners know about pizza, there isn't only one kind of pizza even if they look the same, Pizza Romana is slimmer and ceunchier, Pizza Napoletana is softer and with high crust, then you have the "Ciccio" in puglia which is a pizza with no mozzarella and sauce, then you have derivatives like Pinsa, Focaccia barese, Focaccia Genovese, Focaccelle dell'Esselunga or if you close it up you have Pizza Fritta, Calzoni, Panzerotti fritti baresi, Panzerotti al forno and many other
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.). I mean, when you are hungry, don't have a lot of money, and you want something fast, this is a great choice.
Ok
😂😂😂 i was lookin for the goat comment. Here it is. Little ceasers hahaha....
Dont get me wrong, i love little ceasers. One of the few ways to feed the homies on a budget
Yeah in India you can get a pizza that will feed 3-4 people for 2-3 USD, Americans tend to forget that the rest of the world exists.
Hot and ready 😋 but when it gets cold it turns into cardboard 😔.
El pequeño cesar, never lets me down after a buena peda
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.
Isn't it a calzone? Correct me if I'm mistaken. 6:00
calzone isn't fried
That's a cheburek.
I love when Vito says same taste as if he was there to taste the original pizza! 🤣🤣🤣
2:45 You know it's good when you see, "LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE" on the wall
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!
Pizza Fritta and in general pizza in Napoli is absolute love, Napoli is such a stunning food city!
11:02 that side-eye is insane😂😂😂
Guga you're a gem and many people in this video made me proud of being italian. Good job everybody much love
“I-a have-a magic-a touch” was adorable
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
Its not seed oil!!! You ignorant!! Its extra vergin oil .please dont you ever come to naples lol

This is one man's POV! Everyone should go out there and decide 4 yourselves!
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

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.
As an italian i will not say what my favourite pizzeria is, you will go there, complain that the prices are low and they are going to go up with them.

yo the potato pizza looks to good i need one now!!, now speaking of potato you still need to make a video where you dry age a steak in mashed potatoes please
If you're in the North Park area of San Diego, please try Gelati & Peccati. You might find slices of their Pizza Lussuria: potatoes, mozzarella, prosciutto crudo, and black pepper
Nice, I used to live in North Park... Will have to try next time I'm in the area. My go to was always Luigi's:)
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.

Brit here. Chip butties are loved for a reason.
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?
7:00 he said the thing.
These reviews are the best. Can you come to northeast Indiana and review all our restaurants?
I tried many in Napoli, my favorite (where mainly locals eat) is Tuttino’s by far! Best pizza I ever ate, I've been there 4 times over 3years.

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.
A whole day of eating pizza in Italy 😭 I love your life
This man never misses a chance to diss salt bae 😂
Rightfully so!!
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...
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.
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.
Damn Guga, you should go to Europe more, the food and quality is on another level. Love it!
I cant wait for Guga to one day onen a door and suddenly has people straight out of an RPG game asking for varied dishes and he gets a gluttonous spirit doggo that demands his food be great in... another world... and we get to see him replicate that potato pizza
incredible that u had Vito as your guide haha
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.😂
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!
In Italy you can find It every where
Welcome to Italy my friend!!🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
Interesting food adventure!! It looks like the dough is a bit watery!! Blessings to your adventure
1:46 minute the lady got the bag looks like she stole it 😂😂
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
Guga, thanks for visiting Italy and enjoying its food.
After watching this, I am going straight to Costco to get my $1.50 pizza with coke! Now that's a deal.
Great job editors.. Read my mind. Guy a great laugh out of that.
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. :)
Roberto and Guga look like brothers ❤
No matter where you go whether it's an expensive or a cheap place the pizza looks amazing.
I’m sorry but when guga said “where else can you get a $7 dollar pizza” little ceasers came to mind lol
you cannot compare the crap sold at little ceasar with our pizza
kislux have a stunning collection!! Truly inspirational-found your channel recently, lots of love
