7:21 you can find many many places selling pizza by weight that end up being even cheaper than the first pizza showed (9 euros one)! Just go a little far from the tourist traps and you are gold!
I avoid those people making those foodie tours. I found that the best foodie guide is called Google Maps. Just apply some filters and spend some time browsing. That is how I have found a lot of gems wherever I travel. I always leave an honest review for other foodies.
it's actually a common way of italian locals to eat pizza. They cut it from the inside and work their way to the outside. You can look it up. They usally do it when the pizza comes fresh piping hot from the stone oven. If it's "cold" enough tho they will switch to eating with hands.
In my local pizzeria in italy, a full pizza costs 4.50 euros and its good, sometimes on every afternoon at 12.00 midday, you can buy any pizza you want for 6.00 euros with free beverages
@@firstnamelastname4494 We do care actually, because Sonny went only to places that are quite expensive, i.e. tourists traps. So, that was not that representative of Rome prices at all
As an Italian, all those pizzas look so bad! You couldn’t have made a worse choice of pizzerias. The only one that’s decent, but still a tourist trap, was Bonci. Other than that they did not look good at all.
@@SandBoy408Not all of us, numb nuts. Best not to generalize. I stayed 7 weeks in Bojano and my best pizza was in Termoli and Campobasso. You're not going to visit the U.S. and go to Wyoming or Montana. You'd go to NYC or Los Angeles. I chose the small towns. You just have no balls.

FYI 7€ is not the cheapest in Italy. South of Rome you can still find some for half that price. If you buy it takeaway from a bakery you can even get a large slice (trancio) for as little as 2€.
Italian from Italy here and couple of things: - One classic Margherita pizza is around 7/8€ in the north and 4/5€ in the south...if you see a price higher than that for a normal Margherita you know that everithing will be overpriced (usually in touristic spots). - The guide talked about the origins of it in a very generic way and told only the recipe for the base so, not that informative in my opinion. - Trancio is a type of pizza but not a classic one so you can put whatever the hell you want on it 😂 - The truffle pizza is another type of pizza called Pizza Gourmet and its a completely different dish that is called like that just cause it resemble a pizza, still really good but yeah, not a "real" pizza.
I'll trust the professional guide over random internet stranger thank you. I'm also Italian straight from Italy. And I'm also anything else I need to be to make my point

Micheal pizza place was disquisting in napoli, but where i went to a restaurant where they are not famous for pizza, they actually made better then them whahah
*NO !!!* 😭 💔 I'm sorry, Sonny, but the guide you chose should have stayed a teacher instead of becoming a food guide. There's always a lot of debate about what makes the best pizza, from styles to toppings, but no one with a passion for Italian cuisine would think the places you visited are a good representation of Italian food. *The first place:* The pizza was burned, and if you see the pizzaiolo using a rolling pin to flatten the dough, it's best to leave immediately. *The second place:* It seemed like a hipster joint trying to make a name with unusual toppings. *The third place:* It looked like it had no tomato sauce, making it dry and unappealing. No amount of truffle, gold leaf, or caviar can fix that. In Italy, pizza and espresso are incredibly affordable, even in popular, well-established restaurants. Just head to Naples and try a renowned spot like Gino e Toto Sorbillo, or any of the other famous pizzerias-they're all fantastic!
I went to Bonci (2nd place) and I wasn’t impressed. At least the combos I tried were weird. The first place the edge was so burnt I would have sent that back.
Mate Im convinced those fixers are exactley like most tourist guides and lead you straigth to the toursit traps that pay them to. I have been to italy at least 7 times in different places and pizza was cheaper and better looking than this.
As an italian I completely agree, the first one is 100% a tourist trap. And also he went to Rome in which they made a different type of pizza that is not the traditional one and it is not considered the true italian/neapolitan pizza
@@MRmanblak98 Non è napoletana ma è pizza Italiana. In Italia lo sai bene che abbiamo ventimila modi di fare la pizza e spaccano tutte i culi fatte da chi è del mestiere. Concordo sul fatto che nell'immaginario collettivo la pizza è quella tonda Napoletana e che avrebbe avuto molto più senso fare un video di confronto tra le varie tipologie ma non si può dire che non è pizza Italiana
Bonci isn't exactly a turist trap, but an overpriced "new age" thing that actually appeals a lot of romans, and where he has bought the worse pizzas they had. The first is a turist trap, yes, but considering the price relatively honest (the pizza looked mediocre at best tho). The third is a joke. Putting aside the price, I can't imagine an italian eating there and I've never heard about it. Source: I'm roman.
And they can create new bottles each year after 100 years (when they came out with the first batch) if they had some remaining barrels from each year. Even their webpage says that “crafted every year in limited quantities.”
I really like your videos! I'm born in Rome but i want to tell you: if you want to really eat the best pizza in Italy, you have to go to Naples. Rome has his own "pizza culture" with "pizza al taglio" and a "skinnier pizza" (in Italian, cause i don't know how to describe it: la pizza Romana è più sottile e bassa) and i like Roman style, but Naples is simply the home of Pizza and you have to go there because you will be surprised by the Naples pizza !!
Calling bull on the Pineapple. Anthony Bourdain went to the same pizza shop, yes Bonci in Italy and the owner made a pineapple pizza both the owner and Bourdain loved it
I'm glad you made it to Europe :-). We also eat raw meat and weird bodyparts and stuff ykmow, maybe not in the big cities anymore but in random towns you can still really find some oldskool amazing stuff
I'm really stoned and this was an awesome video with the delicious pizzas as well as hilarious jokes. What made me lose it was the water drop sounds with each drop of balsamic vinegar lol!
Well I'm also baked and I so, so sick of the "cheers" after every single bite of food even when he's by himself. I think that the Mexican melon head Guga has rubbed off on him. If you watch his videos from just a year ago you don't hear any "cheers" from his video's. Don't get me wrong I love the vids but knock that crap off!
Watching this right now at 12:05 AM, Los Angeles, California about to go to bed whats cool about his videos is that you don’t even need to watch because he’s explaining and saying everything that’s going on so unless you want to see the food, but I’m trying to go to sleep lol . And I don’t mind re-watching some. Love you Dude ❤
@@Andre-Nader there is no tomatoes better than San Marzano so they at least have that making that pizza A+. Calling it mid clearly states that You have never experienced a true Italian pizza.
Born and raised in north Pennsylvania. My Dad ( R.I.P ) went to a factory town somewhere. I don't remember the place but they made old school italian pizza for the workers. It didn't even taste like pizza. But it was a treat and tasted very good! They also had poppy strudel! God Bless!
That last pizza did not cost $1,254 unless he used the whole bottle of that rare balsamic vinegar that cost $1090. Yes, he used some of the $1,000 bottle of balsamic vinegar for the preparation of the pizza, but the total cost for the actual pizza was not over $1,000 or even $500. My guess is that the price of the pizza was closer to $250-$300... still expensive for a pizza
but you didn't expect vinegar! That's what actually made most of the price, and it's also not over 1000€ because he just used some drops of the 1000+€ bottle.
Pizzeria luzzi pretty close to the coliseum it's more affordable, it's been in business since 1945, they're not only affordable but also pretty good and on top of that the people working there are just so warm and nice ❤ I literally visit Rome just to visit pizzeria luzzi and have a great time and food
I'll definitely try it out soon. There are two right next to each other one is Trattoria Luzzi and the other Trattoria pizzeria Luzzi dal 1945. Which one is the correct spot? Thanks for the recommendation.
Been to Italy 7 times now.. only got one good pizza in Rome.. and that was a little stand on the street.. if you want good and the best pizza.. Naples.. no doubt. 9 out 10 served in Naples is 5 star taste and quality!
I love pineapple on pizza with ham, green peppers. Whether you love it or hate it you can thank a Canadian from Greece. He ran a restaurant in Chatham, Ontario. In the mid-1960s, he created the Hawaiian pizza.
Yeah screw that lady. She seemed sweet otherwise, but shame on her for trying to shame we that like it. Have people never heard of sweet and savory? It's a food theme in MANY cuisines, especially Asian cuisines. I think it gets a bad rep because people execute it incorrectly. It's better to use fresh pineapple; the canned pineapple is way too concentrated with the sugary syrup.
@@nahor88well I’m not a fan of fruit on pizza, I think it is really bad combo but that is simply my idea according to my taste. Said that, it is true that in Italy we do not use pineapple on pizza and it is considered something savage to do 😂😂😂 but to be honest pizzas with figs or pears are considered a delicatessen! So maybe like you said, the problem is the canned pineapple, which it really is too sugary! Plus please do not forget that, when talking about food, 90% of Italians will judge non Italian food bad even if they never tasted. Yes except me, they are narrow minded like that :)
7:10 i always wanted to know what the italians think about pinapple on pizza and i got my answer! and i 100% agree with her!... still its better then sweedes the put banna on pizza...
Tripe pizza hurt my soul. I also won't spend that much on balsamic. I buy 25 year old aged us balsamic for 50. It's not the same as Italian aged balsamic, but close enough to save 100 or in your case 950.
I'm italian: There is nothing wrong about the scissors. The taste will still be the same and it's normal for pizza by the cut. About the spaghetti... well... I guess it was made for americans. Anyway, the place was blatantly on the experimental side, not traditional. You have to know and understand tradition before experimenting.
@@shogunbj absolutely not. That's what i mean with "you have to know tradition to experiment". Especially if you put pinapple on tomato sauce. You still have to know what you are doing. I didn't say the whole place was built for americans, but that specific flavour probably was since past on pizza is too many carbs.
2:48 Sonny most ppl eat a pizza from the center out. even when sliced, which part of the slice do most ppl take their first bite? yep, the center pointed end, not that outer crust.
I like to eat two bites out of each corner of the crust first, and leave the center of the crust for a hand hold. Then I enjoy the rest of the slice. My theory is that with a reduced crust length right away, there is more pizza surface area to enjoy, and you won't have to fight the crust for the last few good bites. Then the middle piece of crust is devoured.
Oh wow, didn't realize prices had crept up so much in Italy. Used to be you could get a really good stone baked pizza for ~4 euros a while ago at nice restaurants.
Sonny, been a fan since long time. Miss the content you used to make about weird and wild foods of various countries. You were the one who was patching up the space Andrew Zimmern had left. Hope to see such videos soon.
There is literally nothing in the world that can be consumed and then pooped out a few hours later That's worth a thousand dollars.. Unless you wanna try to pass a two karat decent quality diamond
Also the tour guide, that brought him to Bonci for sure she gets her cut from him, because bonci is overpriced and there are several “pizza al taglio” that are way better and cheaper than bonci, bonci used to be great a decade ago now he completely sold his soul
The pizza itself costs 30ish bucks. The truffle alone is around 30 grams x4.5 euro per gram, so 135. So no, the pizza isn't even close to 1k, it's just a few drops of the balsamic vinegar being counted as the whole bottle
8:07 NO WAY!!!! I sometimes mock my super anxious friends from Stockholm, ordering a Calzone with spaghetti, cut up pickles and a glass of milk in english with a russian accent. They get super nervous because they are so pretentious. And now I see there’s really a pizza with spaghetti in it…hilarious!
@@SandBoy408 "I" don't. That is what it is called throughout much of the English speaking world, to the degree that many in English speaking countries think that carbonara is made with other types of bacon - with many in North America going as far as using streaky bacon/belly bacon. And while bacon that is most commonly called bacon these days is made from the belly, and back/loin - it can be made from many cuts, and actually refers to the curing process.
holy hell wtf are these pizzas? they say dont put pineapple but two whole slices of prosciutto, an egg, pitted olives all on the same pizza is an abomination that should never see the light of day again. none of these pizzas looked good at all actually
i think is just ridiculous to promote and advertise that "italian cuisine" when there is so much else...its seems to me that the expensive place is just for tourists and Americans in particular
I recently went back to visit family and friends. I was surprised to see how bad pizza was in some places, while in others the quality was just new level.
Sorry but you go to Napoli to try pizza, not Italy. Pizza rolled with a pin…blasphemy! The pizza al taglio, yes that’s a Roman thing and it’s delicious.
As always great video, love Italian food and Sonny's humour, but a pinnacle to me was an Italian guide, ex-kindergarten teacher with a penchant for pronunciation. I literally felt her anxiety and the need to step in and correct :D :D :D Not because I speak Italian - but I FEEL that need too :D All the best Sonny, Sonny's wife, the whole crew and, of course, our stellar guide.
I live in Trastevere and know very well the place. "Ivo a Trastevere" is a okay-sh pizzeria, you should try "Dar poeta" that's also in Trastevere and it's way, way better
Nice video dude, especially the part where you ate the pizza from the center because I think you didn't understand the given instructions XD. But... Naples... you should have done it in Naples! Rome is definitely not the home of pizza
Restaurant owner: "Staff, we need a massively expensive item on our menu and say it's super exclusive" Every Chef ever: "Slap caviar and truffle on it" Restaurant owner: "Omg I'm wet, how innovative, unique"

Been to Italy 7 times now.. only got one good pizza in Rome.. and that was a little stand on the street.. if you want good and the best pizza.. Naples.. no doubt. 9 out 10 served in Naples is 5 star taste and quality!
I ve been in naples i tasted 5 different pizzas and i prefer other kind of pizza ...so that show the taste are personally
guess who invented pizza 🫣
$35 for 6 pizza squares? Dude, you got robbed! LOL
It's normal, it's Bonci, an experience 🤣
Where else can you buy the pizzas they have? Supply and demand. If they have unique recipes that no one else is selling, they can raise the price.
Hes sponsored by a traveling service, so he is just showing what they want him to promote
Bonci is a former tv star host, you pay for his name. There are hundreds of better choices in Roma!
@@salvatorerobbione1433 A rip-off experience. LMFAO SMH
7:03 Yeah I'm still gonna put pineapple on my pizza
My man. Sweet and Savory? Master Class of food flavors. What a noob she is.
Fuck yeah, anything in a fridge goes on pizza. These new iPhone Italians probably don't even know pomodoro is a fruit.
Pineapple on pizza is like cheese burger without cheese like wtff
I love pineapple on pizza with ham, green peppers.
Whether you love it or hate it you can thank a Canadian from Greece. He ran a restaurant in Chatham, Ontario. In the mid-1960s, he created the Hawaiian pizza.
16:39 Homie felt the effects from those shrooms 😂
She said never put pineapple on pizza but isn’t that a pineapple pizza close to his left hand???… 7:13
Pineapple pizza doesen’t exist in Italy
@@soulfester6241bummer, hawaiian pizza is incredible
When Sonny choose second pizza some Italians were screaming "persona pazza" 😂😅

🤣🤣
"Don't ever put pineapple in a pizza?" 😂 My pizza my way!
Yeah screw that lady. She seemed sweet otherwise, but shame on her for trying to shame we that like it. Have people never heard of sweet and savory? It's a food theme in MANY cuisines, especially Asian cuisines. I think it gets a bad rep because people execute it incorrectly. It's better to use fresh pineapple; the canned pineapple is way too concentrated with the sugary syrup.
@@nahor88well I’m not a fan of fruit on pizza, I think it is really bad combo but that is simply my idea according to my taste. Said that, it is true that in Italy we do not use pineapple on pizza and it is considered something savage to do 😂😂😂 but to be honest pizzas with figs or pears are considered a delicatessen! So maybe like you said, the problem is the canned pineapple, which it really is too sugary! Plus please do not forget that, when talking about food, 90% of Italians will judge non Italian food bad even if they never tasted. Yes except me, they are narrow minded like that :)
Yet they put a fucking tripe and almost everything in those pizzas
Pinapple isn't native to Rome so they are snobs about it. Pinaple absolutely belongs on pizza. Put whatever you want on it.
7:10 i always wanted to know what the italians think about pinapple on pizza and i got my answer! and i 100% agree with her!... still its better then sweedes the put banna on pizza...
Tripe pizza hurt my soul. I also won't spend that much on balsamic. I buy 25 year old aged us balsamic for 50. It's not the same as Italian aged balsamic, but close enough to save 100 or in your case 950.
Italians to the rest of the world about pizza: drama, drama, drama...
Italians in Italy: pizza with spaghetti using ✂️
I'm italian:
There is nothing wrong about the scissors. The taste will still be the same and it's normal for pizza by the cut.
About the spaghetti... well... I guess it was made for americans. Anyway, the place was blatantly on the experimental side, not traditional.
You have to know and understand tradition before experimenting.
@xyanatos spaghetti pizza made in Italy, but for Americans 🤦♂️
@@shogunbj we got a lot of tourists in Rome (i'm also from Rome) i wouldn't be surprised by this.
@@LasloVisionary sure americans are going crazy about pizza with tripe. I guess you must be ok with 🍍 on 🍕
@@shogunbj absolutely not. That's what i mean with "you have to know tradition to experiment".
Especially if you put pinapple on tomato sauce.
You still have to know what you are doing.
I didn't say the whole place was built for americans, but that specific flavour probably was since past on pizza is too many carbs.
I am glad I am not the only person who uses scissors to cut pizza.
2:48 Sonny most ppl eat a pizza from the center out. even when sliced, which part of the slice do most ppl take their first bite? yep, the center pointed end, not that outer crust.
I like to eat two bites out of each corner of the crust first, and leave the center of the crust for a hand hold. Then I enjoy the rest of the slice. My theory is that with a reduced crust length right away, there is more pizza surface area to enjoy, and you won't have to fight the crust for the last few good bites. Then the middle piece of crust is devoured.
@@TheReformedRedheadWeirdoNoMore Amen !!!
Oh wow, didn't realize prices had crept up so much in Italy. Used to be you could get a really good stone baked pizza for ~4 euros a while ago at nice restaurants.
Sonny, been a fan since long time. Miss the content you used to make about weird and wild foods of various countries. You were the one who was patching up the space Andrew Zimmern had left. Hope to see such videos soon.
This is his second channel so it is more like television food Network. He still has his other channel here he does extreme food
thank you buying this 1000+ dollar pizza, so I know it is not worth buying
you will never even have 1000 dollar to spend why you act like you can buy it
@@dkdebest that was literally the joke, congrats on not getting it.
@@dkdebest There are only 2 people that buy pizza this price.. YT Channel owners, and dumb people.. I don't think you are either.
The pizza didn't even cost 1000$.
There is literally nothing in the world that can be consumed and then pooped out a few hours later That's worth a thousand dollars.. Unless you wanna try to pass a two karat decent quality diamond
2:25 " Francesco sei sempre fresco" it's a rhyme that means Francesco he's always fresh.
you're always fresh*
Alberto is scamming you bro😂
Thought so, he went through the perfect tourist traps 😄
They call him Alfredo in Italy.
Also the tour guide, that brought him to Bonci for sure she gets her cut from him, because bonci is overpriced and there are several “pizza al taglio” that are way better and cheaper than bonci, bonci used to be great a decade ago now he completely sold his soul
The pizza itself costs 30ish bucks. The truffle alone is around 30 grams x4.5 euro per gram, so 135. So no, the pizza isn't even close to 1k, it's just a few drops of the balsamic vinegar being counted as the whole bottle
@@skyper8934 that pizza didnt even have 10 grams of truffles
Im sorry i like the way we do pizza here in the states and you know what, sometimes i add pineapple. There, i said it.
Do Bonci Pizzarium have a 2-minute long Pizza, because that's how long it would take me to tell them to stop cutting 👁️👁️
😂
4:45 😂😂 he got annoyed
💯 almost had a little tantrum
I'd be annoyed too, he's not in kindergarten
@@ams6454 EXACTLY! She was doing too much, it’s funny to me since he’s always super chill
This video really makes me want to eat a pizza actually 🤤🍕
8:07 NO WAY!!!! I sometimes mock my super anxious friends from Stockholm, ordering a Calzone with spaghetti, cut up pickles and a glass of milk in english with a russian accent.
They get super nervous because they are so pretentious.
And now I see there’s really a pizza with spaghetti in it…hilarious!
pizza stuffed with spaghettis, that's an Italian warcrime hiding in plain sight
my wallet would enjoy that cheap pizza 😅
if you just could afford to fly there hahaha
@@RappelzWikiaPolska indeed they can't.
Cheap or expensive, pizza is the food of the gods.
Guanciale in English is generally referred to as Jowl Bacon, and it is the "bacon" in carbonara. In simplest terms, it's cured pig cheeks.
Yes, and it is very far from bacon flavor or texture. Don´t know why you call it 'bacon" 😂
@@SandBoy408 "I" don't. That is what it is called throughout much of the English speaking world, to the degree that many in English speaking countries think that carbonara is made with other types of bacon - with many in North America going as far as using streaky bacon/belly bacon.
And while bacon that is most commonly called bacon these days is made from the belly, and back/loin - it can be made from many cuts, and actually refers to the curing process.
@@xjesusxchristx Ok i understand
My girlfriend and I have been to the first pizza place and it was amazing!
holy hell wtf are these pizzas? they say dont put pineapple but two whole slices of prosciutto, an egg, pitted olives all on the same pizza is an abomination that should never see the light of day again. none of these pizzas looked good at all actually
I also think that Italian food is overrated
isn't the original da michele neapolitan pizza around 4,5€, that would have been an amazing entry to the video
Yes, but in Roma we do roman style, that is completely different, very thin like an american bar pie.
Yes he went to Rome that literally didn't have pizza until 60 years ago.
Please do Barcelona next! Love your videos! Regards to the team you all are amazing!
Tacka vet jag svensk sunkpizza. Finns ingen bättre i hela världen, tro mig!
.
Lady at 4:45 come on, that's a grown man, not your kindergarten student
She's also mispronouncing the word 'Pizzeria'
American Italians reaction to those pizza: You call this pizza! You insulting my ancestors!
Americans Italians arent italian. Che vadano a quel paese
I'm from Roma and the spaghetti pizza is embarrassing frankly.
i think is just ridiculous to promote and advertise that "italian cuisine" when there is so much else...its seems to me that the expensive place is just for tourists and Americans in particular
I recently went back to visit family and friends. I was surprised to see how bad pizza was in some places, while in others the quality was just new level.
Sorry but you go to Napoli to try pizza, not Italy. Pizza rolled with a pin…blasphemy! The pizza al taglio, yes that’s a Roman thing and it’s delicious.
Bro just kept the right meme 3:08 for Muslim 😂😂😂
😂, that got me too
8:15 the couple in the background 😂😂😂
Wow, Stephanie is such a beauty!
wr
you couldn't choose three places less representative of the pizza in Rome.
Watching this video while eating cheap noodles
The balsamic vinegar is 650 euros currently.
As a Swede I agree that pineapple on pizza is forbidden... but then I put banana on it instead. 😅
Banana, curry, shrimp and peanuts on a Vesuvio. SO good
banana go on blonds meatballs :D
Here's the kind of foodie I am. I would never spend $35 bucks on a pizza, but I would spend a $1000 on that 100 year old Balsamic Vinegar.
Same. The Balsamic will last you a lot longer, and flavor many meals.
Loved the video! thanks
As always great video, love Italian food and Sonny's humour, but a pinnacle to me was an Italian guide, ex-kindergarten teacher with a penchant for pronunciation. I literally felt her anxiety and the need to step in and correct :D :D :D Not because I speak Italian - but I FEEL that need too :D All the best Sonny, Sonny's wife, the whole crew and, of course, our stellar guide.
She sounded a bit too American to me
Idc what most people think but expensive pizza eating like that is my wild fantasy
Premium ho kinda pizza
my favorite pizza of all time is one with pineapple.
I live in Trastevere and know very well the place. "Ivo a Trastevere" is a okay-sh pizzeria, you should try "Dar poeta" that's also in Trastevere and it's way, way better
Nice video dude, especially the part where you ate the pizza from the center because I think you didn't understand the given instructions XD.
But... Naples... you should have done it in Naples! Rome is definitely not the home of pizza
8:04 Italians : Spaghetti pizza is not real 😭
Le some famous italian chef: Here i present "The spaghetti pizza" 💀
Restaurant owner: "Staff, we need a massively expensive item on our menu and say it's super exclusive"
Every Chef ever: "Slap caviar and truffle on it"
Restaurant owner: "Omg I'm wet, how innovative, unique"
I would love seeing a series about Italy on the main channel.
14:13 That guy has such an amazing sense of humor!
