Looks like a lot of people didn’t watch the full video. 🙃We aren’t comparing NY with Neapolitan ragazzi. As stated in the video, we were only trying slices and not whole pies. Unfortunately the slices we ended up getting from these very recommended places were dry and not even foldable without cracking. We didn’t enjoy them, but they doesn’t mean you can’t! We’re just sharing our opinion. Also, Neapolitan isn’t even our favorite type of pizza. Romano is what we prefer. It is a thinner crust than Neapolitan and actually quite similar to NY Pizza believe it or not!
Maybe put slice in title of video.
You have to come to New Haven Ct to try really good pizza.
Well! I don’t see the problem in the video you you said you like it! and the guy from "new york " agreed with you it was too dry! I think people don’t watch all video like you say
@@Tracy-zd6cf Pepe’s? What’s your suggestion for best pizza in NHaven?
What’s the # rating for Ribalta’s--did I miss it?
Don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone complain that a slice of NY pizza is too crispy. That’s the whole point.
No flop!
It's too crispy for their taste...
@kara Then why even try it? I wouldn't review food that ahead of time I knew I wouldn't like. I don't like mayonnaise, I would never do tuna salad reviews
Don't think I've never seen people not grasp a concept..... It's a review
Yeah he definitely seems to favor a soft flexible crust which is really not classic NYC style Pizza, so no surprise he doesn't rate very highly what most New Yorker's consider the best Pizza.
I think the nostalgia for your neighborhood slice plays into our love of particular styles. The crackly crust is my favorite. I think it’s a texture thing. I’ve had pizza in Rome, Naples, and Laterza and pizza in Laterza made me feel most at home because it had the crunch. That said I love all pizza despite being lactose intolerant.
Definitely! There are so many types of pizza out there and almost everyone has a different favorite. That’s what makes it fun!!
I'm guessing you guys are missing the point. NY pizzas are crusty normally so people can eat by folding them without making a mess. The floppy pizzas you have to sit and eat with fork and knife and that is not how New Yorkers eat.
New York pizza after Covid lost a lot of quality
You can fold floppy pizza without making a mess. Have you ever been in naples? lol
Love you guys...with all due respect, I just don't think you understand NY pizza and you are scoring it low for being to crispy...which is one of the reasons people LOVE NY pizza. If you are expecting it to be like pizza from Italy, you are barking up a different tree.
Yea exactly, they're making me crave for one so bad I was shocked the rating lol
With all due respect, they are allowed to have a different opinion on NY pizza they just didn't like it that much simple as that and not everyone likes their pizza too crispy and they didn't just compare it to Italian pizza they also compared it to bowling alley pizza😂
I guess they're judging as compared to real pizza, I mean an Italian would know pizza seeing that it's Italian
I'm from NY and I like Napoli style pizza. Ny style is about cheese but real Italian pizza is about the sauce and the soft chewy texture
Facts
"Roller Rink Pizza" is almost as brutal an insult as "High School Lunch Pizza".
Sorry 😅
I literally burst out laughing when she said this. I said to myself “oh now she’s stepped in it!”
Public school pizza... It's the worst. Actually Tony's frozen might be wise than THAT. But still... Roller rink pizza is a little step up. But I'm not paying NYC prices for one slice of mediocre.
The type of pizza you like is 9/10 what you grew up with imo. Eaten pizza in Italy and all over the world but still love a slice from my hometown.
after I started making my own pizza I definitely do not prefer the pizza I had growing up, then again it's mostly been fast food restaurant pizza, frozen pizza, Costco pizza, etc.
fresh pizza is where it's at. thin crust, with softer middle cause that emphasizes the toppings/sauce way better than something that takes more effort to eat
Calling these slices "bowling alley pizza" is beyond disrespectful. And saying you can get this type of pizza anywhere in America is a boldface lie. There are pizza makers in other states that literally bought special equipment to make their local water more like New York water hoping to replicate NYC pizza. Anyone that has ever left the east coast would tell you it's disheartening not being able to eat east coast pizza all over the country.
Y’all are so sweet! I love that you included one of your viewers when he came up to y’all on the street and followed him along on a pizza adventure! That was so cool! ❤
Jessi's smile is so infectious and Alessio is adorable. Love you two♥️♥️
As somebody who grew up eating New York style pizza, I'm offended that you called it "Bowling Alley Pizza" that can be found anywhere in America because I grew up and have moved all over the Midwest since. I can assure you that bad NY Pizza is still leagues above Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado pizza (especially from bowling alleys.) Now I want you to try and find the best and worst pizza in every State for a video series. Lighthearted and loving critic.
I think what everyone is failing to notice is that it's all reheated slices. Fresh slices are not cracker crisp and they fold nicely. I rarely if ever buy slices for that reason, I like it fresh and hot or cold the next day not in between and never reheated. That being said, it's still pizza and I'm still going to eat it ;)
Notice how they swooned over the one fresh-made pie that they got. They don't have a clue.
I agree. I’d rather have a warm or lukewarm slice than have it reheated so it’s not cracker-like and dry.
That’s why slice shops, even in NY, aren’t terribly good. NY has a lot of amazing pizza, but none of the great shops are by the slice, they’re whole pies.
Wow I just watched this a year after it came out and this was never corrected. Slice shops are better than full pie. At a slice shop the slices in the case are almost done. They are cooked to be reheated
As italian, I didn't really like this video. I've tried a lot of amazing NY style pizza slices, just giving low ratings cause " it's not what I'm used to" is a bit lazy and shows a lack of effort in understanding the culture.
Exactly. Everyone is falling over themselves to apologize for or justify their unfavorable takes about this style of pizza in general...but in fairness if a New Yorker went to Naples and criticized all the pizza as being "too soft" or complaining that you had to eat it with a fork and knife...they'd get thrown under the bus as an uncultured rube. That may be unfair but that's what would happen. And most people would be ok with that criticism.
So why are we surprised that people are calling these lovely folks out when it goes the other way. Fair is fair.
Exactly. This lady is making easy cheap content, just following algorithms for the US audience
yeah, everything that they’re complaining about is the way that New York pizza is supposed to be
@@salilgupte4507 When do you have to eat a pizza in naples with fork and knife? lol Perfectly fine to eat with your hands. Also: It orginated in Naples .. lol
I don’t know about pizza much, in fact I don’t really like those regular cheese pizza, too cheesy and greasy, but I’ve found one nearby where I live that I quite like, I like the sauce and the crunch. It’s Lucia Pizza in Flushing on Roosevelt Ave right outside the 7 train station. Always fresh out of the oven. 😋
Really Dough with Scott is my favorite pizza series -- so good to see him here!
He’s an awesome guy!
He's a legend.
@@dianadundidit5343 tbf he said he liked it for a slice not to get a whole pie
@@cptmiller132 oh ok, I must have missed it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'll delete my comment,🙂
I was wondering if that was him! Didn't remember his name but I thought he looked familiar; "isn't that the guy that was torturing that grumpy pizzeria owner with all kinds of pizza concoctions and arguing with him over whether or not they're pizzas on youtube???" 🤣
I hope they bring that series back!
props to you for folding your slices. that's the test of a true New Yorker.
I found this pretty entertaining. I'm from New England (Connecticut) and when I was a kid growing up some of the local pizza shops we had were absolutely amazing. Unfortunately franchises like Dominos, Papa Johns and what not killed off most of the legit local pizza/grinder(sub's) shops. While I know this video is about finding the best pizza in NY, I'd suggest you both take a 1.5hr trip over to New Haven CT and try out Frank Pepe's/Sally's and Modern Apizza, New Haven was the home of a tool manufacture called "Sargent" and they hired many Italian immigrants to work in the factory way back in the day. Anyway long story short, large immigrant Italian community wants good food...a need arises and is fulfilled by local community members which results in the creation of the New Haven style pizza, which is adopted by near by neighbors (New York)....If you wanted to do a "How did Italian Pizza turn into NY style pizza?" you couldn't answer that question without going through New Haven. And perhaps I'm fundamentally biased but no slice of NY pizza has ever remotely compared to the lowest quality of slice of pizza I had CT (except for franchises).
Sals Pizza in Mamaroneck NY out does Frank Pepe’s and Sally’s by a long shot. Hole in the wall place with amazing pizza… made by generational Italians… I think they live above the store. Frank Pepe’s has turned into a tourist trap… and the 2 times i ate at Sally’s… very burnt crust.
@@SharonCee521Sharon, u got to be kidding , they don't have a display case , they have attitudes , pizza has no texture , taste , for a regular slice 🍕 my fellow 914 friend try Abatinos in north white plains , delicious a strong 9 and down the block Broadway pizza 🍕 a strong 8 # westchester 👍🍕🍕👍🍕👍
Yikes. My relatives from Sicily love the pizza here in NY. Your opinion is your opinion though, I highly respect one's opinion. I also rate Neopolitan pizzas very high compared to NY style, but there are some great NY style places out there that you haven't been to yet. You went to the tourist traps. Those slices did look dry. I always wait for a fresh pie or at least one that hasn't been out long. A reheat at Joe's helps crisp it up. But to say that those slices you tried are available anywhere in the country; that I cannot agree with. BTW, try the place Mama's Too! It's in the upper west side. The cachio e pepe square is to die for.
Absolutely your right to your opinion it just seems TO ME that you are comparing apples and oranges. You have a notion in your head that is the standard vs enjoy it and rate based on what it is. I'm Mexican and don't expect Tex Mex or Taco Bell to be what I ate in Mexico but it's good for what it is. Can't beat delicious nachos, burritos and chimichangas which I have never eaten at home. And "get out of your little house." Yikes. I would say maybe he was joking but ... Definitely struck a nerve with this video but good for you! Still love your content. Edited: yes I did watch the whole video.
Yes, I agree that they were comparing apples and oranges. And so they will never appreciate or even understand NYC pizza.
Thank you.
The place at 3:39 is a PATH station! That is the subway that takes you over to the NJ side of the river like Jersey City and Hoboken which has great pizza spots like Tony Boloney's (who has locations in both Hoboken and Jersey City) and Razza (by Grove Street PATH)
Although I'm a New Yorker, my favorite style currently is DETROIT style because it has a thick crust that is crispy and chewy, and the sauce goes on top of the cheese. Detroit style also has an interesting story. Detroit-style was invented in 1946 at a place called Buddy's by Gus Guerra. He wanted something new for the menu at Buddy's and sought the help of his Sicilian mother. She gave him a dough recipe, but he wanted something to make it special, he wanted a high-sided pizza pan. Detroit is famous for the car industry, and while others looked at blue steel utility trays used at the Motor City’s auto assembly plants and saw only nuts, bolts, and thingamajigs...he envisioned a Sicilian-like deep-dish pizza. In NYC, a great spot that has Detroit style is Lions & Tigers & Squares on W 23rd Street in Chelsea!
Best D pizza in NYC is Emmy Squared, by far.
The crunchier (yet slightly bready) texture is one of the aspects that I enjoy about NYC style pizza. For example, I don't like the softer/liquid-y texture of a Neapolitan style pizza. Same dislike for the dough-ier type pizzas (Costco comes to mind).
I like Neopolitan and NYC almost equally but when I am in the mood for one the other will not do 😁
I ask for extra crispy as a new Yorker lmao if I don't crunch I don't want it😅
I am partial to John’s on Bleecker and L’Industrie in Brooklyn. Their burrata pizza actually changed my life.
We plan to try both!!
@@ThePasinis L’Industrie is amazing, but it is run by young Italian guys, so it’s not NY style.
Ahhh I can't believe you guys missed Prince Street Pizza! The crust is like a focaccia and the sauce is slightly spicy with tons of delicious pepperoni
oooooo noooo we need to tray it!
Great slice there
We will have to try it!!
@@ThePasinis Sorry… he means with lots of curly salame, not peppers. He’s right though… best slice (not pizza) in NY.
The Spicy Spring sucks. My son ordered it and didn't like it. I couldn't eat it. I also couldn't eat Bleecker St. (But that was after eating at Joe's and John's).
Pepperoni is the best way to improve bad pizza and the best way to ruin good pizza.
Highly recommend trying out spots in Brooklyn next time. Di fara, Luigis, Lucali, Best Pizza, Williamsburg pizza, and others are all much more loved by locals than much of what's in Manhattan. Also if you want to find more truly great places definitely ask Scott or other local content creators. The fact that Joe's was the MOST requested one tells me a lot of people who have only ever been tourists voted in your poll. I just think there's new york pizza you would genuinely love but I would never have told an Italian to go to Joe's lol
No don’t send them to Di Fara or Lucali I can’t watch them insult anymore fine nyc establishments and that’s coming from a girl who grew up on Staten Island pizza where Joe and Pat’s and Denino’s reign supreme
@@miriammadry9340 sadly, they are comparing NYC pizza to Neapolitan pizza and dont recognize there is a difference...
Ah… Luigi’s isn’t worth it anymore… really went down hill in the last few years.
@@miriammadry9340 DiFara doesn’t really matter anymore… Dom passed away and they’ve expanded aggressively. The quality has immediately plummeted.
@@miriammadry9340 joe and pats pizza looks nasty. Agree 👍
So cool that you ran into Demien and Scott! You should do the same tour, but in Brooklyn. You'd be surprised. You got DaFarra's, Davinci's, Lenny's and L&B Spumoni Gardens.
A Brooklyn pizza tour is definitely coming!! So many places to try there that we decided to make it a separate video
@@ThePasinis For sure… and if you need transport, my wife and I will be happy to drive you around and share some pies.
Spumoni Gardens is my favorite!
Looking for the BEST Pizza and only going to slice places is like looking for the Best Canoli and only going to places that pre-fill the shells.
Yeah.
Wow I’m loving all of this NYC content!! Have you guys joined our city as fellow New Yorkers?! Hello from Brooklyn! 🙋🏽♀️
Hello Brooklyn friend! We are loving NYC!
I’m not gonna win over a lot of people here, but my wife and I just came back from NY and we felt like the pizza was just “OK”. We were looking for a slice that would wow us and we just never found it. You’re not alone. 😅🤷🏻♂️
yup. I tried to respect the scoring but I cant. especially after this video. wow
The best NY pizza will have a strong crisp to their crust. However, the issue with slices is that most of them are from pizzas that were previously made and then put in a display case to be heat up when someone wants one or 2. So sometimes the slice you get is from a pie thats been sitting out for maybe an hour and thats just never going to be as good as a fresh pie. Granted, the flavor will not change very much, but the texture will. The dough will be more crispy rather than like a cracker, and the pizza will be less dried out.
This is why for my money, Lucali and Johns of Bleecker will be the best pizza in the city, they dont do slices. Its only pies, so everything is fresh. You order, sit at a table and it comes piping hot out of the oven. Hopefully you guys try those places next time you visit!
I think you's just don't like the crust/dough in New York style pizza, it's too crispy and not soft enough for you's. I personally really like that crispiness and texture. This makes sense since u prefer Neapolitan pizza, i prefer New York style pizza because of the crust. I usually go for fresh mozz/margherita as my topping though. Plain cheese isn't as good in my opinion(which I think you'd agree with.)
But shouldn’t it still be soft enough to fold up and eat on the go?? These were so dry that they broke and cracked in half. The pizza they make in Northern Italy, where Alessio is from, is actually different than Neapolitan. More thin crust without the super thin center! People from Naples will hate us for saying we prefer than to Neapolitan haha
I think you have to review New York pizza against itself and forget about what you find in Italy. It's its own category of pizza. Just as you don't review Italian American food against regional Italian food. They're just different. Like Detroit style is different to Chicago deep dish, etc.
@@ThePasinis alternatively that softness makes it soggy and fall apart compared to the crispiness of new York pizza. You usually don't have neopolitan pizza on the go, of course there is the wallet folding method of Neapolitan pizza, but you have to fold it more times. The crispiness of New York pizza gives it more structure and stability, it shouldn't be breaking in half 😢. that northern Italian pizza sounds good, but I've heard that pizza outside Naples isnt as good, especially in the north. I've seen Milan style pizza which honestly reminds me of Costco pizza a little(😰) I've seen salerno style pizza which is like neopolitan but has a crispier crust, that looks good too. We may also be too used to the idea of pizza one way so that shapes our perception of it. I like New York style pizza baked in a coal fired oven with dough made from yeast and starter(aka sourdough) it tastes good and has better rise/chew. Anyway different strokes for different folks
@@GenXBecks they didn't compare iatlain pizza with the one in new york in fact in the video they removed the neapolitan pizza! they said they didn't like it I don't see where the problem is! in chicago they do it better
They are implicitly comparing Neapolitan with New York style. The thing they don’t like is the very thing that makes it what it is. Like saying you don’t like water because it’s wet. Crispy crust and low moisture mozzarella aren’t there by accident, incompetence, or cultural inferiority; they are there because the makers and clients like it that way. Pizza no longer belongs solely to Italy; and pizza is not better if it tastes more Italian.
I'm from southern Italy and I don't like a crunchy/crackery crust on my pizza, I'm not even totally fond of Neapolitan one, I stay in the middle 😁 amazing video 😍
Vero. Not everyone wants the cracker crust. I've got a Sicilian place near me that ferments the pizza dough 5 days for a tender bubbly chewy crust that's heaven.
I think what you're missing is that for New Yorkers, a pizza slice is a tasty snack that's cheap and you can eat on the go. I know people are into all this ranking stuff, but it does feel like you are telling us how to do something that we've been doing forever and we like it how it is you know? When I was growing up pretty poor dad would say when I was hungry, 'you want a slice or a hot dog?' They were both a dollar. You get it? A slice is what working people eat to eat. It's not supposed to be this gourmet thing and neither is pizza in general. Would you like it if we went to Italy and complained about all your favorite pizza places? It's not a good look.
Would love to see you both weekend trip to Chicago someday for the deep dish pizza. Wonder what Alessio would think of that or if it would be considered pizza heresy. Loving this NYC series so far! 🤍
Deep dish pizza exists in Italy except it's not called pizza there but something else. I think he'll like it.
Ever seen the movie "Scanners"? lol
I don't think it's fair to send anyone off to one of Chicago's famous deep-dish locations (Pequods, Giordanos, Ginos East, Lou Malnati's) with the expectation they are getting something they'd consider a "Pizza" . It's more of a tomato pie as in chicken pot pie but with pizza ingredients, even the crust feels more like a pie crust than it does pizza crust or what I'd consider "Standard deep dish style" (I.E. detroit style). It is certainly an experience, and waiting 20-40 min for a personal sized pizza gives you time to knock back a few drinks but it's a thing people in Chicago only do when family/friends are visiting, or some other rare special occasion. Most prefer NY style pizzas or "Pub style". My favorite slice in Chicago was from Piece pizza which does new haven style pizza with local ingredients (like Hot Dougs atomic sausage pizza or Honey Butter fried chicken/Piece pizza colab). Knocking back a slice of NY style pizza is easy... Knocking back a slice of even a personal sized Chicago Deepdish pizza is like eating a large chunk of pie or cake and the pie/cakes core is hovering around the "Scold your tongue" scale of "Your taste buds will take months to return, and Do they make burn cream for tongues?".
@@josephfernald7933 They are both better than the old school NEO pizzas. It's 'like sex...how can you miss what you never had unless you had it? ha ha Pizza has evolved from the simple origin from where it came from. I love BOTH Chicago and NY style..WHY? The more variety in life the better! People always get stuck in a rut and never open their minds to other better things...sort of what we have here.
@@docwho10th88 what's a neo pizza?
I admire your critique about pizza. I am doing the same around Knoxville, TN. The newspaper got people to vote on their favorite, and we are reviewing the top 25. So far, I am not impressed with peoples choices. My opinion is: most people wouldn’t know good food if it fell in their lap. If it is hot and they didn’t cook it, it is good.
When I get to Naples this summer, we will get the official taste.
It’s amazing you were even able to see the pizza with your nose so high in the air.
Well done episode! I wonder if your pizza style preference and experience is Neapolitan style making it difficult to differentiate among the New York slice style like Joe's. I prefer the thin, crisp crust style having grown up in New York and have a difficult time judging Neapolitan stye pizzas which mostly taste the same to me. See if you can make it to NY Pizza Suprema which might strike the right balance for you.
Thank you for the tip! Alessio is actually from Northern Italy, were they make pizza in a totally different way than Neapolitan style. It's actually more of a thin crust pizza without the large outer crust that they make in Naples. So Neapolitan isn't actually our preference haha. Unfortunately, a lot of the slices we tried in this video were super dry, making them difficult to eat/enjoy. Maybe it depends on the time of day you go or who's making the pizza at that time that leads to different experiences?
@@ThePasinis Thanks for your reply! The place I recommended is highly rated and it is a very saucy pie with a red sauce that is unique and unmatched and the turnover is very high so you shouldn't get an old slice.
I think they needed to eat slices from fresh pies since they prefer a softer texture (would probably need a knife and fork though). Each time, they were getting re-heated slices that were left in the oven too long. When I get a re-heated slice, I always tell them, "Not too hot." That way, it doesn't get too "toasted" and crack when you fold it. It's like when you toast bread for 30 seconds versus 3 minutes.
I find that the sauce flavor is better when I ask for "not too hot". That being said, Joe's pizza should be pretty fresh even if you order a single slice since they go through a lot of pizza.
This couple is like the opposite of everyone I know. Thin, light, & crispy is the ideal slice, with tangy sauce. They like big, soft, doughy slices. Bizarro. No taste
Also, you don’t eat the Outside of the fold. You’re supposed to sink your teeth into the cheese. This whole video is a ridiculous!
🤣🤌🏼 ma vai a ca...
Lucali is the best NY in my opinion
It’s funny how we all like our crust differently.
NYC resident here and in my over 20 years in the city, Pizza Suprema is hands-down, my favorite. The white pizza is unmatched, the upside-down is fantastic, & their new burrata is dangerously delicious. Enjoy! 🍕🍕🍕
Sorry but I do not understand the point of this review. If they are reviewing NYC pizza then I would assume they want to find the best NYC-style pizza. Instead, they chose as the best pizza in NYC a Neapolitan pizza rather than a NY pizza. Obviously, they prefer Neapolitan-style pizza to NYC-style pizza so why didn't they simply review the best Neapolitan-style pizza in NYC? That would have been a more interesting review.
Slices are always going to be less satisfying than getting a whole pie. I’m from Jersey and it’s the same here. Gotta get the pie or it’s not really worth it. Fresh is key
The best are: Joe’s. Prince St. Grimaldi’s. Totonno’s. Just get plain cheese slices. Thats the test🍕
Bleeker st too! Thats hilarious that guy yelled “go to Joe’s”. This was fun. Oh yay Lombardis
It'd be better if you gave more explanations for your scores. Explain why you gave the scores you did. Was it the crust, texture, cheese, sauce? What makes an ideal pizza slice for you?
I've been to Italy a few times, and the pizza was a HUGE disappointment. Way overhyped. Texture of the crust is soggy like a wet gym shirt. Watery sauce. Bufala mozzarella is great when hot, but wait 15 minutes, and it turns into a rubber ball. Soggy, zero crisp crust requires eating it with a knife & fork, as the sauce and cheese slides off.
Again the pizza in Italy is way overhyped. The Italian guy in this video grew up eating this wet, sloppy pizza, so that's the thing he's hung up on.
What was outstanding about food in Italy was the parmesan cheese & ham in parma, the balsamic vinegar in Modena, the fresh pasta in Firenze, the cured meats in Bologna. However, the pizza I had in naples, Rome, Milano was VERY disappointing. Bottom line is the guy in this video is full of overhyped Italian pizza propaganda.
there has to be a part 2 for Brooklyn because in my opinion Brooklyn has better pizza than Manhattan
We plan on it! We want to do a Brooklyn version and also a full pie version. Gonna be eating a LOT of pizza haha.
I love Scott! You guys should definitely check out Best Pizza (33 Havemeyer St) and Lucali (575 Henry St) and Di Farra (1424 Avenue J) in Brooklyn whenever you're in the area. Lucali only sells by the pie and unless you get takeout, can take hours just to get in. Fortunately, Lucali has a slice shop called Baby Luc's at 387 Court St.
Scott wiener uses a laser thermometer to check the heat of his pizza before biting like a true New Yorker and pizza aficionado
Ragazzi, first of all, the basic rules for evaluating pizza (apart from al taglio of course) is that you always buy the while pizza and not try to evaluate based solely on a slice because a single slice introduces too many variables. Second of all, you really didn’t go to any good pizzerias so next time tell me and I’ll steer you in the right direction.
Tell me you only enjoy Neapolitan style pizza without telling me you only enjoy Neapolitan style pizza.
I think we need some videos from Chicago like these.
Yes!!! Chicago pizza much better jmo
There's a large Georgian community in New York City. I think you guys might enjoy the food.
That's so cool that you got a tour by the pizza experts and guides of NYC.
For American style pizza, NY style is the best. And I'm a South Eastern woman whose only had it once. I'm not a fan of pizza otherwise.
I grew up in NYC. We used to have excellent pizza and then most pizza shops became either nice restaurants or dollar pizzerias. Chicago overall wins. Only two boroughs of NY still got good pizza and thats the Bronx and Staten Island. Even Brooklyn is overrated.
There is more than one way to fold. For NY style, I keep my index finger inside the fold, the crust edge will crack but the rest should remain intact. Also, the first half of the slice is consumed in a single layer while the remainder is eaten doubled not unlike a sandwich.
Thank you for this wonderful channel. I love this couple, they put together very entertaining fun videos. Brings me JOY!!!!!!!.
This is the first time I ever seen anybody complain about New York Pizza. They sound like haters
since you're close by, how about trying New Haven, CT pizza? Modern, Pepe's and Sally's. I don't think you can get slices though. fun vid to watch guys, I was hoping you'd try the dollar pizza for the heck of it!
New Yorkers say Italian pizza is too soggy meanwhile Italians says New York pizza is too crunchy
This guy is way too critical and she's rating it low also because he's rating It Low. Many people say New York Pizza is better than pizza in Italy
Ribalta was the only place where I thought "ooooh, that looks gooood". The others just looked a bit 'meh'; I'm not surprised you only gave them scores around 5/10.
This is just a rabbit hole…a good rabbit hole, but a rabbit hole nonetheless. There are just soooo many great pizzas in the city…. But it’s a fun quest for sure. Like, where’s the best pizza in Naples? It’ll just drive you crazy…but in a nice way LOL. 🥂
This is so true! So many pizzas still left to try, but we tried to hit the ones most recommended to us.
It's obvious you don't like a crispy crust on pizza. It's your preference I guess. I like All different types of pizza and I like New York style pizza. Pizza will always be better as a pie and fresh out of the oven.
Try the pizza outside of Manhattan.
Sorry but Joes pizza is a 10!
If you get a chance you need to try pizzeria uno. Chicago style Deep dish pizza. Its not your normal pizza , its like lasagna without pasta served in a bread style pie crust. It is one of my favorites. Detroit style is very good. Thick crust reminds me of focacia with toppings.
Problem with slice pizza, is unless it is a busy day, that slice sits around and dries out. You never get to really enjoy how good a pizza can be by just tasting a slice that has been sitting around. Fresh pizza is always the best. I will agree that a lot of NY pizza is overhyped, and their pizza is mediocre at best. But, there are some that are absolutely phenomenal.
The pizza you chose was fresh from the oven, the others were sitting in the counter. As an ex-NYer. I even don't like many places that I try. The crust can be to thick or thin, under cooked or over cooked.
If the slice places aren't real busy, I usually ask them to toss my slices back in the oven for a couple minutes. They're usually happy to oblige. Makes a big difference, imo.
Can't believe you met Scott. I love watching his videos with Mark from Lucali's Pizza. Scott is so funny in them XD
Omg this video was awesome... so cool u guys ran into a pizza tour love ur videos...
I love you guys. Being half Italian, I can relate to so many things.
Janet , u mean your better half 🌗 😅😅😊 # italiano 👍🍕
Joe’s Pizza is absolutely amazing to me! The best pizza on the planet is whatever tastes best to your individual palette. There is no way a self proclaimed food critic could ever tell me what food I would personally enjoy the most until I taste it myself. I am also honestly not really a big fan of Neapolitan styled pizza because it is quite soggy, paper thin, way too saucy, tangy, sour, doesn’t hold its toppings, and it has absolutely no crunch for me. So, the last person who could ever fairly judge a New York slice would be a Neapolitan pizza snob. But, that’s not to say it wouldn’t be a good tasting pizza for someone else. I have traveled all around the world and I honestly found New York Pizza to be the very best!
I’m from Long Island.. some good mom and pop pizzerias… however, I was in cinque Terre and had the most amazing pizza EVER!
Honestly next time I would love to hear some commentary/guidelines on the intro as to what you two think makes a good slice (or anything else you are rating, i.e. how are you judging?), because I, for one, do like that your take on what that is, seems so totally different than what I would think for example, and to me that's part of the fun (guess not everyone likes that), of trying to answer the age old question that will clearly never have an answer (except for personal opinion) yet who's gonna say no to trying more pizza? 😋
This pizza has a crisp to it... therefore bad...
Uh...
Your opinion is not valid.
All the things they complain about are things I love in New York-style pizza. I still love these channels.
When I go to nyc I always have to go to prince st. The square slice is amazing
Yup, square with spicy pepperoni (salame).
In Italy, do they sell slices or only whole pies, when I was there only whole pies were sold.
Best place to know who has the New York pizza is the RUclips channel “one bite pizza review” I would look at his channel
I’m wondering where you get the olive oils you use at home??
Your standards of what you consider good pizza are very different than what we consider good pizza. It's a personal preference thing but I do have to say, you guys did not go to any of the real top pizza places in NY. You went to Bleeker Street Pizza but you didn't go to John's of Bleeker, it's a night and day difference. You also didn't leave Manhattan. You missed all the really fantastic places in Brooklyn like Di Fara and Lucali. You need to take another trip. NY pizza is not coal or wood fired pizza, the crust is supposed to be crisp not doughy, the sauce should be more tangy than sweet and the mozzarella should be fresh and evenly applied. I personally also like fresh, authentic parmigiana, fresh, real olive oil and even fresh basil.
Love your videos and have to try Chicago deep dish pizza. Happy holidays to you and your beautiful family. Stay positive vibes.
Always enjoy watching…I love pizza 🤗🤗
Thank you 😋
@@ThePasinis you two are so much fun
Neapolitan is 6.5 all day. The more crisp the better
"It's cracking on the bottom, that's not a good sign" Bruh. That's the best sign. Italian pizza is so soft it's like melt in your mouth. I don't want my pizza to melt in my mouth. I want some bite, cirsp, crunch, etc. American pizza crushes Italian every day of the week.
It’s ok we will allow you to be wrong about NY pizza. We still like you guys!😂
That looked fun. The only pizza I thought looked any good was where you met Scott. In my area in Canada none of our pizzas are thin and crispy. We call that cardboard. And they are covered in thick mozzarella and any toppings we want.
Sounds like pizza in Wisconsin.
Where are you in Canada? I’m in Southern Alberta. Here it’s mostly Greek Style pan pizza. I make an Artisan New York Style in my Food Truck (just started) I have Wood Fired in my backyard and I was selling on Instagram all summer.
I just went to New York, Neapolitan is still my favorite. Angelo’s coal oven doesn’t do slices, but I liked their pizza.
We will have to try Angelo’s in our full pie video!
I really loved Joe’s 😂 but my favorite two places to eat in New York was Prince Street Pizza (get the Spicy Pepperoni) and then Pisillo. Pisillo is an Italian Panini hole in the wall! Best sandwich I have ever had! And Alessio would fit in beautifully because the owner and I believe most of the works speak Italian. When we went they gave us a free sample of Buffalo Ricotta that had been flown in the Italy that morning 😊
ive never heard of anyone not like the crust crunchy
I also like the caramelized/toasted crusts of ny style.
Alessio: "Your 5th cousins doesn't even know each other." That's funny.
Bleeker Street Pizza!! That was our old stomping ground!
You guys have to get to De Lorenzo's in Robbinsville, NJ (near Trenton) - had pizza all over and that one is worth the drive out there!!!
Yous are crazy! Bleeker St. is the best! You have to try their Nona Pizza next time! Lol Thank you for the amazing Content! I love yas!
Please come back, go to Bleecker Street Pizza and get the Nona Maria slice, and that will change your mind!
The beauty about Pizza is that it exists... I love New York Style Pizza though I don't live in New York we have a few Pizzeria's here that do it justice by miles. They make the crust soft, if fact so soft the cheese slides when you pick it up to bite into it. It's delicious from tip to crust (my favorite part of the pizza). Now I want pizza... hahahaha 🤣 Pizza, like any food e eat, is subjective. You either like, love it or use it as a placemat. 😆
Best Italian is In Sicily!! Best pizza outside of Italy in Gales Ferry, CT at Village Pizza. Two different kinds of Pizza but both delicious
