This is a man who takes pizza as seriously as pizza deserves. Taking care of every single step in the process in order to achieve simple results near perfection. I applaud him!

I appreciate that this guy shows the objective measurements and calculations they take throughout the process to ensure consistency and quality in the pizza. A lot of times chefs just say “ we do this all by feel/instinct”, which is fine but also makes a less interesting video imo.

@robertlee4562 2 года назад

Over the past 10 plus years I’ve done a hard target search for the best pizza in the NY/NJ region (plus some CT). Razza is at the very, very top of the list. I’ve eaten there at least 30 times and I’ve never had a single bite of food at Razza that wasn’t excellent. Dan Richer is the real deal and the quality he delivers is incredible.

@YG-kk4ey Год назад

How does it compared to 9th Street's Margarita pizza? (I'm still looking for some place to top that)

@dyoo1120 2 года назад

If you're ever in Jersey City, go to Razza's. I can't say it's the best pizza because everybody's opinions and tastes are different. But this place makes really good pizza. The fermented tomato sauce is a blend of uniquely tangy and spicy.

@aussiehardwood6196 2 года назад

I was a pizzaiolo for 4 years where I'd put 3-400 pizzas through an oven in a 3.5hr evening service. I lit the oven everyday moved the coals around the base to warm it, swept them to the side ready for service. I never worried about 'heat transfer mechanisms' nor 'thermal equilibrium'. Some like spouting big words thinking it credits them on a subject when they are often spewing rubbish.

@francismallard5892 2 года назад

Cooking with fire is indeed so primal. It harkens back to our ancestors when they would track mammoths for days, risk their lives in bringing one down, use the pelts to keep their families warm, and use the meat to top artisan flatbreads with a dusting of cilantro and a nice balsamic vinaigrette.

Somehow I thought this was just about the oven, but it was SO much more. Pizzas look great. I've helped make pizzas in 2 different friends' ovens with temps 500-800*F. Just took a minute to bake, but we used shittier ingredients both times.

Not to many people build pizza ovens from bricks in the US. A lost art of its own, that's the main thing I look for in theses videos. You look inside and see casted pieces like the one in this video is a clear sign it's Made in China. You just have to do your own exterior.
