Pizza at his best is made by great quality ingredients. The tomatoes of vesuvium and the mozzarella from the planes near Napoli makes a huge difference in flavour. The second place is Sicilia where the flour is strong and tasty. Then you can drive to puglia or have a trip in liguria where basil and flour make two different dishes very similar to pizza that name Focaccia The secret of Italian food is less ingredients, small production and a wise use of spices, you can compare different production and styles in between Italian restaurants in Napoli and find a wide variety. It makes no sense making comparison between NYC and Italian pizza, at all
@@quelodequelo that's not true at all, Italy has some of the strangest combinations of ingredients. Italians always say simple is the way, but that's not true. Most places are serving so many different pizzas other than just a Margarita. I've seen ones with cream cheese, tuna, clams, pesto pistachio sauce etc.
I' m lucky an italian family opened a pizzeria where I live and they make the most amazing roman style pizzas. I like neapolitan sometimes but really I prefer roman. NYC, from the looks of it, too much cheese.
Can we just talk about how cool that Italian guy was? Letting them film and telling us interesting things about Pizza as well as just seeming super friendly
Dominos is a chain . It’s the worst example !There are many many Italians in the USA making the exact pizza being made in Italy , wood stove and everything !
Couldn’t agree more! It happened the same to me when I moved to Italy! Actually, I made a video American pizza VS Naples style pizza with my Italian boyfriend if you want to check it out 😘
@Mich De lucia MSG also called as ajinomoto, is a brain control additive which is added in a lot of foods today. Thats the reason people keep buying them. Few examples are, market ketchups, maggi, knor noodles. Many commercial pizza joints use it. It makes you think of the same food whenever you are hungry next time. It is harmful to health. A lot of mental and physical illness are caused due to it.
@Mich De lucia Yes MonoSodium Glutamate. Many ladies with breast cancer were found to be consuming this substance more in their past. 90% of the profit of the food industry is due to MSG. There is another additive called Ribo Rash, which boosts the effect of MSG. Means the MSG goes even deeper into our nerves and brain. There are a some more chemicals like these. They are all approved by the corrupt FDA, bcause the huge market profits depends on these additives. I respect Italy and Italian food for being natural. There are some countries that have banned these substances.
Lots of misinformation about MSG here. It's more defined as crystallized Umami, aka savory flavour. It makes the basis of the flavour profile of Japanese food. The white powder MSG is made from Seaweed which is the primary flavour source in alot of Japanese cooking. MSG is a quick way to add that seaweed Umami in. Umami can come from many things but the white powder is made from Seaweed.
@@jwork5680 Because pizza wasn't meant to be eaten with fruit or sweet food on it. Actually the only two kinds of traditional Neapolitan pizzas are the Margherita and Marinara. Nothing else. All the other pizzas are considered imitations of the original recipe, which it doesn't mean that Italians don't eat other kinds of pizza, but if u go to the Pizzeria da Michele in Naples (one of the world's first pizzerias and according to many also the best), they make just those two kinds of pizza (Margherita and Marinara). At least this is what most of the people think here in Naples, in the rest of Italy the things are slightly different. Unfortunately (or fortunately) many Italians are very conservative when it comes to pizza and traditional Italian food in general, even if younger generations are more open-minded (but I can assure you that pineapple pizza is still considered trash by many young Italians too).
@@ritesh6487 that's because we are used to eat high quality pizza. Foreign pizza is just unacceptably trash compared to what we usually eat, that's why
@@norwegianblue2017 She shares resemblance to Danish or other Teutons, it's the way I envision her. This woman is likely to be a fashion model. Teutons, Danes, and Norwegians with dark hair and hazel or green eyes are gorgeous! But not the obese junk food eaters...
@@mattguxxxtt9629 Then you know nothing. Neapolitan pizza is not junk food, it's part of the Mediterranean diet which is the best and healthier in the world.
@@kfcmanager759 do not put bullshit in your head, only with the ingredients you use does the pizza become garbage, but also in the way you prepare it, do not worry. here in italy there are several university studies that show that neapolitan pizza is not junk food.
I am Italian American, born and bred in NY. As much as I love good quality NY style pizza (i.e Johnny's in Mt. Vernon, Di Fara in Brooklyn), there is absolutely nothing like a quality Neapolitan style pizza. Higher quality ingredients (cheese and sauce), lighter dough..... it's art.
I love Di Fara and Grimaldi's but Bleeker St. is a perfect choice for this video, such a great example of the classic style. I've never been to Italy but I have been to Ribalta and it's also fantastic.
Oh my God I love brick oven pizza but unfortunately is very rare to get it here in New York City. There's a place out in Brooklyn near Coney Island where they have a brick oven and their Pizza is off the chain
Yes but bro. Italian pizza is different from town to town. I am from Rome, and the Neapolitan pizza is totally different from ours. Typical Roman pizza is not even round.
Right, like they said in the video. Other parts of Italy didn't even jump on the pizza bandwagon until they got news from New York. So, why would you assume it's the same? Hahahahahaha
@@adameves5970 like they are right. We eat focaccia, that is still a kind of pizza from the times of the ancient Rome. Just because they said it, doesn't mean is true.
Common sense isn't so common. Pizza originated in italy. And yes different parts of Italy have different pizza. New York pizza is good, but it is still a imitation. It is American pizza, not Italian. And no, New York didn't make pizza popular in Italy, utter nonsense. Pizza was around since Roman times. Pizza is older than the USA.
@@chelious1973 you're being a little broad with that statement. most of italy didnt learn pizza until it came BACK from NY. Yes, it originated in an italian town, but did NOT spread all over italy until it came BACK from NY. Learn your shit. they literally said this in the video. how do you not know it? fuckin stupid....
William Faulkner cheat on keto, fall out of ketosis immediately. I lost over 20lbs on it, and used up lots of muscle weight. Felt weird being so low on glucose; quite frankly, some people never adjust or switch over to ketogenesis.
When I was in the Navy back in the early 90s I used to sail to Italy (Sicily many times and once to Naples and once to Trieste) I liked the pizza, but it didn't knock my socks off. However, the pasta dishes were unbelievably good. Probably the best food I have ever eaten in my life.
I prefer Italian pizza to NY pizza. I ate it all the time in Italy. It was cheap (as long as you bought it away from tourist sites) and it filled me up while tasting great. Unfortunately, I live in the Midwest and cannot find good pizza of either type here.
I love Italians, they have so much culture, something we are definitely lacking in America right now. But New York still has that really large Italian influence to it.
• I tried pizza from I Masanielli in Caserta, it was so nasty it made me throw up, why are Italians so pretentious about their pizza when it’s that bad, New York pizza is definitely better. 🤮🤮🤮
La pizza, quella vera, è solo italiana, a te ha fatto vomitare perché sei abituato (come il 99% degli americani) a mangiare solo cibo spazzatura, Mcdonald e panini vari. La cultura culinaria non è arte vostra. C'è un perché se siete campioni mondiali di obesità. @@ikeschmidt151

Uncle Gilbert Italian pizza is healthy. They literally made an experiment with a guy eating pizza for 6 months in a row... No medical/weight complications at all
Kira Lee All Italian food (properly made by Italians) is actually healthy. They’re in the 2nd or 3rd spot (if I recall correctly) as healthiest people in the world
@@donstrudel1564 Actually there is a guy that's been eating cheese pizzas for 20 years or something, his doctor says he is 'extremely healthy' :) It suits him due to being a diabetic or something, but I mean it shows something hey
Tom Pryor Thanks for the correction in spelling (English is not my first language). I guess it’s just personal taste... Speaking for myself, I consider the one from Naples the best one (indeed, it is the only pizza that the UNESCO made heritage of mankind), but I guess no one can be truly objective on the matter
@Tom Pryor Haters gonna hate? What are you 2 years old? Whats to hate btw, we are talking about our own food, italian invention.. Not white American. Not even the majority of americans prefer American food over etnic food. You guys dont have a culture let alone cuisine so you steal things from other cultures. Do you know what seasonings are? This is culture, stick to making wars and creating dumb and fat people.
@Tom Pryor What are you bragging about American inventions? RU-vid? How is it an American invention if 2 co foreign co founders Steve Chen and Jawed (Chinese and bangladeshi) helped inventing it? Do your research and you find out yourself.. Oh im sorry, i forgot you guys are dumb as fuck. Colombus? Nobody forced millions of Scottish, English, Irish and Germans (your ancestors) to pick up the fire arms and shoot off a entire native population. And i said white AMERICANS, Not white people, im targeting Americans specifically.. Once again dumb fuck you are, dumb fuck you remain. And i dont like wars, i wish the Roman empire never existed. Unlike you, you brag about wars.. So you like the fact that you guys destroyed the entire middle east / vietnam by bombing children and stealing their wealth so that you could enjoy some white privilege? Be my guest... Dont complain why etnic minorities and even white Americans target you in usa.
The Lady Borgia Borgias where Spaniards. There were some italian Borgias after the newly elected Pope Alexander (a Borgia one) moved from Spain to the Vatican
Lol funny dude 😂 the face of his when he had that Neapolitan pizza vs the face after ny pizza! He knows that Italian is better and I guarantee you he’ll be thinking about it for a while! No pizza compares to Neapolitan !
i tried napoletan pizza but it was just too bland for me. but that's on me tho because i like my pizza to be full of toppings and spices and not very moist(like the napoletan pizza)
@Eros Delorenzi no im talking about fresh mozzarella that italians use in their pizza. just listen here 11:08 to what this ITALIAN lady said. if that is not enough for you just look at this shot 9:55 its literally soggy in the middle.. just look how much water there is. im not saying that the western pizza is better or superior to the italian pizza, but what im saying is i prefer the western style of pizza because of these reasons: 1-the sauce is way too bland for me. just tomato sauce and salt is way too bland for me. i like my sauce to have some spices and some herbs other than basil. 2- the toppings are a must for me(pepper,onion,mushrooms,shrimp ect.) i hope you understand now and be more respectful of what other people like.
@Eros Delorenzi i said this many times but you still don't get it. im not saying your food is bad or nasty. that's just how my preference is. if i were to give western pizza a 9/10 i would still give the italian pizza 7.5 or out of ten. this just means that i like my pizza to have more spice and flavor and less moister i can't help it man.you italians give yourselves a really bad reputation when you flip out like this ,about other variations of your foods...
I'm so hungry now. I have to say, the Neapolitan pizza appealed the most. I had an epic pizza outside in a lovely Budapest bistro. It was simple like that, but with seafood. The seadfood would be too strong for many Americans (anchovies, mussels) but Oh, man I felt like I had been a guest at Poseidon's. Most memorable pizza I ever had.
@Bobby Brady1) Watch your mouth. I expressed my personal opinion on the subject and didn'ty insult anybody 2) I am Italian and I live in Naples, Italy. The language you've read in the second parto of my post is not italian but Neapolitan dialect. 3) Calling somebody "a pretentious food snob " over a simple pizza dish is just ridiculous ( you are emarrassing yourself) . 4) Pasquale's pizza is THE BEST!!!!! Eat your heart out!!! :-D
I had the best pie in Italy back in 2006. A rural fair outside Bologna I came to by accident. Made by the ladies from the town; no words to describe it that do it justice.

Great video, Wow, you can’t get a better review than someone tasting your pizza and saying one word “finally”. I will definitely stop there the next time I’m in NY. My favourite pizza is Diablo in Roma Italy. 🍕
I love both pizza's 🍕 equally just the same way I love ❤ both little Italy's equally, the one in Arthur Ave in the Bronx and the one in Mulberry Street in Manhattan
I grew up in NY and eating NY Pizza. When I visited my family in Italy and had pizza over there I had no problem adjusting to the ingredient difference. But yes, in USA they over-season.
• I tried pizza from I Masanielli in Caserta, it was so nasty it made me throw up, why are Italians so pretentious about their pizza when it’s that bad, New York pizza is definitely better. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
This sums up traditional Italian cuisine vs Italian-American Cuisine. Simple and fresh ingredients (Italian style) vs. lots of flavoring (New York style). True of lots of dishes, not just pizza. Good video.
OMG I can't believe you guys did a collab! Discovered both of you a couple of month ago and you are both my inspiration to follow my dreams. I'm italian and i can't wait to taste NY dollar pizza 😍
US food is over seasoned, I lived in Japan for 3 years and went into shock at how little seasoning was used but my taste buds changed and was able to taste more things and finally understood what umami means
Neopoliton Pizza though may seen simple has ALOT that goes into it.. the quality of ingredients is what make it far superior. The Tomatoes are San Marzano (heartier taste, grown on volcanic soil), the dough takes many more hours to ferment and prepare to get the right taste, the mozarella is fresh and it is made in a very specific type of wood fired oven.

I wonder if there is a restaurant that serves traditional sfincione with so many having the ancestry coming from Sicily. It is a very old pizza style as well.
i consider myself to be a really picky eater, and i'd take italian style pizza over any other style any day of the week. the difference in flavor is just insane.
Thanks for the explainer and taste-testing video! I definitely learned how to differentiate between New York Style and Neapolitan pizza. I also discovered how I can make pizza healthier at home.
@スパイダーマン I agree, in the north most of the pizzas u can find are pretty bad, there are few places with great pizzas but you have to know very well where to find them. Its not like in the south where you can find awesome pizzas everywhere, but it is only cause its not really a thing of the north Italian culture and traditions.
The main difference is Brick oven vs Stainless Steel oven. As a New Yorker I grew up on the classic NYC slice but as I got older I learned to appreciate the Neapolitan style and I actually prefer it over NYC style.
My Nana is from Naples .. all we knew growing up was Neapolitan ... of course, she experimented with other ingredients.. but everything was always fresh .. Yummmmm ...
Bologna pizza is fantastic too. BTW in Italy, you typically use a knife and fork for pizza when you're at a table in a more formal restaurant, and folding it with your hands when you're eating it as street food.
I'm Italian and I don't think its a matter of formality really, simply the fact that italian and specially Neapolitan pizza the crust is softer then Ny pizza so messier to eat the whole slice using hands. So you eat the center with fork and knife and then you pick it up with your hands, like she did in the video
I travel alot and the italian original pizza in Italy is just the best. I had various NYC italian slices in NY, and good, but not like the traditional italian pizza. Both are different. Oh also the size of pizza in NY is ridiculous big! Haha…
• I tried pizza from I Masanielli in Caserta, it was so nasty it made me throw up, why are Italians so pretentious about their pizza when it’s that bad, New York pizza is definitely better.
The second pizza city after Naples was actually Nice, in the South of France -- because after the Neapolitan-style pizza was first invented, very quickly after many Italians went off to work in Nice and area, and they introduced it there before the first wave of immigration to the US.
Authentic Neopolitans are typically fresher, but the analogy that I make is akin to cuts of meats. We love the greasier NY pizza like we love cheaper meats such as pastrami and bacon...even though pastrami is a lot cheaper than a filet mignon, it's still tastes good !
Once I tried Neapolitan pizza from these people straight from Italy making pizzas from their small stand here in Los Angeles, almost no pizza compares! It’s the real deal and makes me want to visit Italy 🇮🇹
I`ve been in NY and Napoli and tried both pizzas. Both are amazing, with some differences as you said. Remember that italian pizza is smaller because there you are not supposed to share your pizza. I`m from Argentina and here it`s natural to share a big pizza with family or friends. Thank you for this great video! PS: Maria, tu sei bellisima!
I live in Brussels now, and there are tons of good Neapolitan pizzerias. I like both styles equally though. Sometimes I want a nice simple margarita, and sometimes I want a heavier American style pizza. Just depends on the day
zedxyle have you tried MiTo ? I'm from Strasbourg and the restaurant only have Italian staff and cooks, and the oven is from Milan, but I know they also have a location in Bruxelles
Actually here in Italy we have maaaany different types of pizza. There is the traditional neapolitan pizza, but also many others, some are similar to the so called ny pizza, except maybe for mozzarella that here is usually fresh. I have been several times in NY, but really I can't understand how can you say that there is an "american" style of pizza. Also here in Milan, where I live, we have loads of turkish "kebap", some good, some terrible... but definitely there isn't a "milanese kebap"!
I lived near chicago when I was little I had deep dish a couple times there, but I never been to Italy for an authentic original pizza. I love deep dish, NYC, and neopolitan
• I tried pizza from I Masanielli in Caserta, it was so nasty it made me throw up, why are Italians so pretentious about their pizza when it’s that bad, New York pizza is definitely better. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
I been to both Naples and NYC and although I’m sure I didn’t go to the best pizza places at either, I must admit Naples pizza was superior. NYC pizza was obviously great too though
One kind of pizza you should review is the square slices at L&B Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn. It’s the sauce on top of the cheese as opposed to the reverse.
I believe she nailed it when saying Americans going to Italy may not like the pizza as much as Italians going to America. We use a lot more seasoning, fat, and salt in our food.
Hi. Native New Yorker here. Love our pizza here but I am a huge fan of Neapolitan pizza as well. Would love to see your and Mary Jane’s reaction to a pizzeria in Greenpoint brooklyn where I live by the name of Paulie Gee’s at the end of Greenpoint Ave. by the river where they make a Neopolitan style pizza but with some liberties. Have had Neopolitan friends try it and love it.
