      Agree. As an Italian I really loved this video. And btw, you don’t have to go to NY to find a different pizza. Even in Rome you can find a different type of pizza. I agree that pizza can come in different shapes and styles. If it’s properly made, I don’t have any doubt they will all be delicious.

    There's a message the Italian pizza sends that I feel like a lot of people easily forget. It doesn't have to be so many complicated ingredients! I often see people slapping a bunch of toppings on all food in general like pizzas and etc. but the thing about the Italian pizza is what makes it great is it's so simple in its ingredients. It shows that to enjoy food, you don't need a bunch of stuff on a pizza that might even make the pizza less enjoyable since you don't get to savour all the flavor. That's what I love with the philosophy of the Italian Pizza. It's simply delicious.

    As a hardcore ITALIAN foodie, currently living in New York City I cannot not comment: you NAILED it!!!!!! (As a youtuber myself I applaude you for the editing work, too👏).
    Nonetheless, if I'm a true Italian I have to make observations...right!?
    - You seemed to have made a margherita pizza: that one does NOT want any garlic in the tomato (you made the tomato sauce for marinara, which has completely different toppings).
    - You used buffalo milk mozzarella and shoved it in the oven: for many that's another Italian sin 😱 Buffalo mozzarella is very expensive, it turns gummy when heated and it releases a lot of juice. If you want to use it on pizza, put it after it's baked. if you want to make a classic margherita instead, use cow milk mozzarella ("fiordilatte" as we call it): it's cheaper, it's better for pizza and it melts forming threads when you pull it.
    - NY style has much stronger flavor, so it should have been tasted for second in the taste test, otherwise it covers the flavor of the Neapolitan. The last guy who voted for NY style still had American cheesy pizza in the mouth when he tasted the Italian one 🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀

    Some corrections:
    - Italian pizza dough has olive oil in the dough.
    - Some pizza chefs do put some sort of sugar, but it's usually diastatic malt.
    - Usually, maturation goes from 24h to 3 days.
    - Italian pizza is cooked at least at 400° C, but usually more. 420° C it's usually the minimum.
    - We don't usually put garlic in the passata, just oil, some herbs, salt and pepper. Also, we don't drain the content of the can: the oven temperature is so high that we need the extra moisture.

      Italian pizza dough has olive oil only if you need to make it in a low heat oven (forno di casa). The traditional one (forno a legna) needs no oil. And no respectable chef uses malt. That's just a cheap trick (like sugar anyway).

    Mandatory annoying "as an Italian..." comment here. Jokes aside, both pizzas look soooo good, and having eaten some pies both in NY and Naples I'd say that they're really two sides of the same coin (although I personally prefer the Italian one by far, but that's individual taste). Putting garlic in the tomato sauce isn't really something that Italians do (except if you're making a marinara), but honestly it's such a minor thing that I imagine the end result to be basically the same.

    Great job there! Let me just add some facts as an italian:
    1. in Italy it's not as unusual as you seem to think to put some sugar into our tomato sauce. It might be actually needed to correct it if the tomatoes you are using are too acidic or low quality.
    2. Garlic is definitely optional in many dishes and in pizza sauce as well
    3. It is extremely difficult to find pizzerias in Italy which only use buffalo mozzarella. One of the reasons is that it costs more, but it is also because it is too humid and it risks wetting your pizza too much. So, yes you can have it as an add-on on top of your pizza, but I would not go for it. It is simply too good to be spoiled by cooking it. The best way to eat it is stand alone or in a caprese salad or with some good ham. That's my opinion, if you have good and fresh buffalo mozzarella just don't waste it on pizza.

    I am an Italian househusband to an American wife. Frankly when I cook I need to make plenty of adjustments because the quality of ingredients here is just not the same.
    Italian pizza, being simpler, with fewer ingredients, leans on the quality of the ingredients.
    Pretty much, you can't have an Italian pizza with Italian quality in America. You can enjoy the best approximation of it, which is still great. But having great ingredients sourced locally matters.

    Best pizza I ever had was at The Pizza Church in Viaregio Tuscany. It was a fifteenth century church that was converted in to a pizza restaurant. You walked down the isle ordered your pizza at the alter and ate in a pew. All the pizzas were fantastic, ten inch pies perfect for a personal pizza. My favorite was the Adam and Eve pie, spicy sausage and blue cheese. I haven’t been to the place in twenty five years, but I hope it’s still in business and cranking out great pizza.

    As a native Jerseyan, I will say that there is nothing more nostalgic than a classic slice joint where the melted cheese is calling to you, and a glass case filled with oversize pies waits for you to choose.
    However, and I know it's sacrilege for people of my region (towns like Fairfield, NJ, which, in 2015, had the highest population of Italian Americans in the country), I have to hand it to the pizza Napoletana. It's that lightly charred crust and the perfectly balanced flavors that do it for me.

    This was a great video as always! What it is oftentimes overlooked when you see one culture adopt and put their own spin on another culture's cuisine is that it is almost always influenced by the ingredients that are readily available. A good example here would have been the flour. I find it very unlikely that Italian-American immigrants would have had easy access to double zero flour when they came to the USA, and would have just used whatever flour was most readily and cheaply available. The flour that was available to them likely influenced what type of dough and eventually pizza they produced. In other words, you take what you have and try and make something out of it that is still delicious.

    Nice one Josh. The technique and steps are definitely a way to sti- up many many comments.
    Here mine: Every pizzaiolo knows: Napoletan OG or style: sauce: Only certified san marzano, salt , maybe a liitle of EVO (extra virgin olive oil) NO garlic for this one, you DO not blend the tomatoes. use a food mill for best sauce. Napoletan : is NOT the same shaping. Is all about recepie, fermentation, technique for the dough. How about the pull and slap technique ....?.Size of pie: 11-12 in pie. mozzarella have to be julienne about 5 cms thick. Awesome you elevated the cheese using buffalo mozzarella.
    basil do not need to be chop or cut . use 2-4 leaves whole .Olive oil before cooking is NOT optional is a must. you can also use some as a garnish and to finish it after cooking. specially if adding toppings post cooking.
    the oven ,yeah that ooni is great for home use. BTW half of the pizza needed a little more time to cook. more "leoparding". to be a true napoletan it must be cook within 90 secs at proper deck temp. BTW margherita DOES not have garlic as an ingredient so you F it there. Would have love to see you go a little more above and beyond for a proper napolitan dough: 16hr + fermentation (n depending of fermentation technique) and see the giggle and bubble structure in the dough.
    Napoletan is always a winner for taste, quality, nutrition and easier to digest due to fermentation process. Even SOME people that are gluten intolerant MAY be able to eat some true Napoletan pizza.

      The traditional oven usually reaches 500F max. The italian pizza oven reaches 700F. The difference of temp and how the heat is distributed are important for the italian pizza.

    Italian pizza is when I want to go on a date with someone and have a nice meal. New York pizza is when that pizza goes bad, I stay out at a bar for a little too long and need some comfort food on the way home. Both totally valid and comforting

    I make a sort in-between version, I suppose. I use sourdough, instead of yeast, so it's slow fermented and over several days in the fridge. I don't use sugar or oil in the dough, either. Just flour, water, salt. So far, pretty close to Italian style. But I cook it to a more New York consistency, I like a really crunchy slice, no slop. And I use regular mozz, freshly grated, and pepperoni.
    My one thing, is that it takes a lot of self-convincing to work beyond 60% hydration with the flour I use. The dough gets everywhere and it's just not as pleasant to knead. I use AP flour; 00 I've only seen in tiny pouches, and I bake every dang day. It's too small and expensive.

    I absolutely love pizza… I’m not as well versed as I wished I was, as I’ve not really travelled all that much as a teenager and now an adult unfortunately due to health issues as well as severe onset broke-ness too…
    But I fucking love a Chicago style pizza!!! Idk if the frozen pizza that I regularly have at home is an actual Chicago Style..? But that’s what the brand of Pizza that I buy is called anyways, and the crust is stuffed with the same sauce as what’s on the pizza itself, and it’s been an absolute game changer for me!!! As someone who isn’t typically a big fan of pizza crust… I literally eat every single mouthful of this pizza!! It’s so so so much nicer than just a regular frozen pizza, I could get served this in a restaurant and I would be more than happy with it…
    And I don’t eat much at all due to the previously mentioned medical issues, but I have at least a couple of slices of this pizza 3-4 times a week at leastttt, and if you cook it in an oven, and then reheat the leftovers up in an air fryer when you next want some, and you drizzle a bit of honey over the top of it with just regular store bought bbq sauce on the side (which I have with everything to be fair…) as a dip, it makes it so so so so so much nicer than just the regular pizza on its own with nothing on it or anything… Trust me!!
    BUTTTTTTTTTTT my sister works at an Italian restaurant just up the street that I go to every single year for my birthday, and have done for the last 7-8 years or so now… So I’ve had a LOT of “Chicago style” (🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️) frozen pizza just at home, as well as a lot of freshly made Italian Pizza too (made by actual Italians too, which is always better in my opinion).
    Like you, I would be more than happy to have both on any day of the week🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ But the frozen ‘Chicago Style’ pizza that I have almost every single day with its sauce stuffed crust, and with honey drizzled on top with regular bbq sauce at the side will alwaysss have the W for me personally… But like I said, I could be served either of them and still be extremely happy either way🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s just that I’d definitely be happier with my Chicago style that I typically have that’s all

      stop pretending that because you wherever you live in Italy they don't make pizza like that in Italy it's literally the worst thing about your country how pretentious you are about your own style of pizza when you'll get into fistfights literally just between street blocks about what the "real" way to make pizza is. there is no "italian" pizza, there is only an approximation

    See I'm from India 🇮🇳 and eaten none of them accept pizza hut and Domino's in India but by seeing this video I can predict by seeing the preparation New York pizza might taste better because how they cooked the sauce is better but overall Italian Pizza looks more down to earth it's cooked process in Pizza oven in way better than Ney York it will looks juicy i guess and maybe crunchier than newyork so it will have grounded authentic taste . See In India we also cooked in tandoor so our breads also become crunchier i guess newyork add more chess to their pizza it will be unhealthy for high cholesterol people and Italian looks well balanced..both are winners in their own but Pizza is born in Italy we should not forgot so Without Italian we could n't taste this beautiful invention
