That “ancient square” is actually where Julius Caesar was assassinated. I went to Rome last summer and was standing around that wondering what the hell it was, googled it and was very surprised to find out it’s the location of one of the most famous assassinations of all time!
That is the difference between original pizza and what lots of us call pizza today. Original pizza was as much about the base pastry as it was about what was on top. Where as today, lots of us look as the base as nothing more than a medium to hold all the toppings.
It is like that around the world. The French invented Puff Pastry and the early dishes made out of puff pastry, the pastry was supposed to be the star, but now the pastry is just a medium for what it contains or comes with. The same as the Greeks and filo pastry even though it was invented in Turkey . We take a lot for granted these days, and are not as impressed anymore.
I would happily eat the base on its own. I only have cheese on my pizza and no sauce. I used to work at Pizza Hut here in New Zealand and at the close of business the boss let us make a pizza with the leftovers and I always took home a base with nothing on it.
Who else loves Italian food? 🙋🏽♀️ I had an opportunity to go to Italy two years ago and I can’t wait to go back. Italians don’t realize how lucky they are. Love everything about them. What a lovely country!
..."Italians don’t realize how lucky they are" si, fino a quando non ti ci tocca vivererci e cominci a bestemmiare per quanto il governo faccia pena, le tasse ti uccidano e quanto siano tutti dei gran ladroni... massi' in fondo è un bel posto in cui vivere (e qui potrei citare non so quante canzoni partendo dal grandissimo Rino Gaetano)
I'm glad they have English subtitles now on the pizza menu. I had pizza in Naples 30 years ago and a group of us didn't know any Italian language. All we could do is point to an item on the menu and got surprised with the result. Surprised at all the vegetables such as peas, potatoes, arctic chokes, and more on the pizza. A big change from American pizza.
I just recently came back from studying abroad in Italy, this video made me miss it there already. Best pizza I ever had in Rome (and my whole stay there) was at Bonci near the Vatican!
There was an Italian pizzeria and restaurant here in Philly (owned by Italians) that made a pizza with pistachio pesto, was literally my favorite food. Went out of business during COVID sadly, but Mike isn’t kidding, its probably the best tasting thing any lover of savory things will ever eat, especially when combined with mozzarella and parm
Funny someone in America has had this experience there, but probably the best pizza I've ever eaten in my entire life is pizza con "crema di pistacchio" in Siracusa Sicily, my province. The pistachios were probably from Bronte in Catania Sicily, the best in all of Italy. To be honest though, it was girlfriend's pizza!!!
You traditionally cut the napoletan pizza in 4 pieces, you take the quarter, fold it, and if it drools fold the tip on the inside. Anyway great video as always man, you can feel the connection between you and the food through these.
Most of the people here in Italy eats with hands, I've never eaten with fork and knife because I literally don't know how should I eat with them and can't enjoy the pizza
owo ....You pick up the fork in one hand, and the knife in the other. Then you cut the pizza. Then you eat it. Its literally not that hard and the pizza tastes exactly the same.
I can't afford to travel, but I love watching travel shows. I'm also a cook, so I love cooking shows. So watching you eat in different countries is a lot of fun!
This, and his metabolism. There's a good all you can eat japanese restaurant near me with a 3 hour limit... I'm always super full after about 2 hours while I want to try more and I have to keep it lean for a week afterwards to keep my weight somewhat under control.
Hi Mikey! Love your videos, just a couple of things from someone who has lived in italy: The first pizza you had in Rome looks like that not necessarily because Roman pizza is more casual. That kind of pizza is called "pizza al taglio" or sliced pizza. It has a thicker, focaccia like dough because it's meant to hold up as it's eaten on the go. You can find it all over Italy. Also, Italians not being restrictive with their toppings is not something characteristic only of pizza Romana. You'd be surprised what kind of toppings we have on our pizzas! Personally my favorite has potatoes, heavy cream and bacon. Much love
You dont have to eat it with fork and knive, cut it in pieces use your fingers to fold a V, that keeps it straight while you eat it. So you can always experience the right amount of dough, tomato, mozzarella, oil and basil
@@owlstrixvaria7386 well, I'm 100% italian, born raised and living in Italy (20 years of my life passed near Naples) and I can assure you we eat it with hands. You can see at 12:08

Hands down, Italian pizza is the best not just because it's so delicious but also because if you've been to Italy and eaten pizza there, you'll realise that it's not heavy. Eating a whole pizza isn't a problem
I can say from my personal experience that none of this is exaggerated or anything. I went to rome and the pizza is so good that I had a hard time eating when I got home.
are you still in iyaly? try one of those cheap 10-15€ all you can eat chinese+sushi buffet places, those are so common here in italy, i go there to eat at least 2-3 times monthly
When Mike said they told him they were sold out, I could just imagine him standing outside with that cute puppy dog face & a sad violin playing the the back, just looking through the glass or something 😭😭🤣🤣 awww they must’ve felt so bad hahahah
Thanks Mikey. I went to Italy in may this year. I still can't get over how beautiful it is and how good the food was. Thanks for these videos. Love you.
Somehow Mike continually comes up with novel, incredibly expressive ways to describe his food experience. Pizza in Italy made me appreciate a really good base, medium thin, with just 2 or 3 high quality ingredients. Fromaggi or Gorgonzola, prosciutto and basil is my fave. Perfect.
It's the heat of the oven and that it's wood-fired. I think so. Most soft mushy doughs are made by people who don't know you need to heat the crap out of dough to make pizza.
10:05 “... you can’t cut and fold”. Mike, take this from an Italian living in Italy: not only you can fold that pizza, but that’s actually the right way to eat it. Also, pizza “purists” in Naples, despise pizza from Rome because it’s too crunchy and you can’t fold it (it would broke). They say that’s how you know if it’s a “real” pizza: if it’s real, it will fold.
This brings back memories! I visited Italy last year and had the best pizza in Naples at Pizzeria Brandi. It's supposedly where the Pizza Margherita was invented in 1889 for Queen Margherita. Sadly, it seems you didn't visit it this time around. That only makes for another trip! Also, you should visit Amalfi, they have the best fried anchovies & lemon gelato! It definitely won't disappoint!
I am going to Napoli this year in October, and looking forward to it very much, especially the pizza. A friend of mine stated the pizzas in Napoli are for to die for, and watching this video, I agree. Thank you sir for your time to make this video, regards from the UK
This man can’t be human. He is a machine. I lost count after pizza number 7… where the heck does he fit this all? 🤷🏻♀️ Unbelievable! But it is enjoyable watching his journey
Watching this while hungry is a torture!! 😂 Gotta love Mikey's description..."I'm just checking whether it's legal to mqrry a pizza"!! You never fail to crack me up! 😁😅
I've followed this channel since it was created as well as his vlogs and stuff in his other channels, and I just came to the realization that I'm watching my dude eating pizza in Italy for 1.6m subscribers.

not all the italians are models, for example i have the belly xD. Yes we eat pizza but not everyday. Is that dish that u eat in the weekend when u go out for dinner
Hi Mike! So glad to see you do a series in Italy. The places you visited were so beautiful. And the food looked delicious. But then real Italian food always does lol! From your reaction you definitely fell in love with it. Food aside what was your favorite historical or tourist site?
I visited Rome and Naples with my husband this month and went to Pizza Florida because of your video. They were so good. I had to try the tuna pizza and it was my favorite. Delicious!!
Damn, I wish I heard about that last place when I was vacationing in Rome back in 2013. That pistachio-pesto pizza sounds absolutely divine. Maybe next time I travel there I'll check it out. I'd definitely love to go back to Italy in general.... it's my favorite European country thus far. The landscapes, the culture, the artwork/museums,... and yes, the food! I remember having a good share of authentic Italian pizza along with gelato on several occasions there and it was so damn tasty!
Sorry, not sorry, but I'll have Roman pizza over Neapolitan. I like it waaay more, and the diversity of toppings makes it even better. ALSO, FYI Rome has a special one called 'pinsa', which is the very last pizza that he had there: the dough is made with a mixture of flours, is 'taller' but is very much worth it.
Loveblanket From Toronto, NY take out slice and Brooklyn style pizza (ala Juliana's) is one of the top pizzas in the world. My Italian girlfriend from Torino agrees as well. Both are not a huge fan of Chicago Deep Dish, it's not really a pizza anymore and way too heavy. Just out opinions though.
Dude, those pizzas look delicious and sound amazing! Have always wanted to visit Italy for the pasta, but now I want to visit especially for the pizza.
Laughing so hard over you eating that pizza in the alley! Awesome! You looked like you were tearing up a few times. Have you ever cried over a beautiful dish?
Man,I totally respect your brilliant assessment of proper Italian pizza! The Margarita is the king (well Queen,named after the Queen) of ALL pizza. But that Roman style,with the tuna. Yes. YES! It takes me back to 1991 in Barcelona,where I stumbled across an Italian owned shop,and I had my first tuna-topped pizza. I ate it every day for lunch for 2 weeks. The owners,who seriously like Mario and Luigi,ended up knowing me by name.
Man I had original Italian pizza once, and my life was never the same again...
Mike you are showing enjoyment of food porn. 39 years since I was in Italy.
Yeah, it's kind of regrettable eating fresh Italian pizza because the Pizza back in the States will never taste the same.
PoundFor PoundKing same here in Germany, but luckily I only need to drive for 4 to 5 hours to go to Italy.

I can relate, even to traditional and semi traditional dishes from where I come from (South east Asia). They're over focusing on toppings.
Actually pizza was starvation food, you made a flat piece of bread and threw whatever you had left over on there.
I would happily eat the base on its own. I only have cheese on my pizza and no sauce. I used to work at Pizza Hut here in New Zealand and at the close of business the boss let us make a pizza with the leftovers and I always took home a base with nothing on it.

Damn, I wish I heard about that last place when I was vacationing in Rome back in 2013. That pistachio-pesto pizza sounds absolutely divine. Maybe next time I travel there I'll check it out. I'd definitely love to go back to Italy in general.... it's my favorite European country thus far. The landscapes, the culture, the artwork/museums,... and yes, the food! I remember having a good share of authentic Italian pizza along with gelato on several occasions there and it was so damn tasty!
thank you for appreciating my beloved pizza🇮🇹🍕
11:02 mike realized he haven't really ate pizza in his life
"It should be walking on a catwalk somewhere" another Mikey Chen classic
You have the BESTTTT description for your foods hahaha, mix with humor, I love it sooooo much.
Sorry, not sorry, but I'll have Roman pizza over Neapolitan. I like it waaay more, and the diversity of toppings makes it even better. ALSO, FYI Rome has a special one called 'pinsa', which is the very last pizza that he had there: the dough is made with a mixture of flours, is 'taller' but is very much worth it.
Yes but pizza is Neapolitan not Roman
The feeling you got. Mikey? With the pistachio pesto pizza??? I felt it. I definitely felt it...❤
Anyone who says NY pizza is best pizza, obviously that person never left the country, which is sad. GO TRAVEL DAMMIT 😄😄😄
Dino Zilic There are people from around the world that say NYC pizza is the best. NYC pizza can go up against any pizza. You sad bro 😂
Loveblanket omg chicago deep dish 🤤
Loveblanket From Toronto, NY take out slice and Brooklyn style pizza (ala Juliana's) is one of the top pizzas in the world. My Italian girlfriend from Torino agrees as well. Both are not a huge fan of Chicago Deep Dish, it's not really a pizza anymore and way too heavy. Just out opinions though.
Pìzza is Neapolitan
Loveblanket That's not pizza it's casserole.
There's no competition man! naples all the way! Even trying to compare is an insult!
Pizza in Napoli 100% on my bucket list ❤️
ive watched this 4 times and i still watch it all the way through all 4 times
Dude, those pizzas look delicious and sound amazing! Have always wanted to visit Italy for the pasta, but now I want to visit especially for the pizza.
OMG they had the same type of pizza place where I lived in Spain. My favorite flavor is the spicy tomato one !
Laughing so hard over you eating that pizza in the alley! Awesome!
You looked like you were tearing up a few times. Have you ever cried over a beautiful dish?
Man,I totally respect your brilliant assessment of proper Italian pizza!
The Margarita is the king (well Queen,named after the Queen) of ALL pizza.
But that Roman style,with the tuna.
Yes.
YES!
It takes me back to 1991 in Barcelona,where I stumbled across an Italian owned shop,and I had my first tuna-topped pizza.
I ate it every day for lunch for 2 weeks.
The owners,who seriously like Mario and Luigi,ended up knowing me by name.
I always find myself back at this video whenever I get pizza and pretend whatever I'm eating is as good as what Mikey's eating.
