Nick Smith Makes Homemade Pizza 

Nick: I'm never ever doing this again. Also Nick: I'm starting my own pizza shop.

Nick is all of us when you're trying something new and the directions are made confusing. The video made me want to give him the biggest hug cause he was so proud (rightfully so). Great job!

Matteo Could Never: the name of Nick’s pizzeria

I love how Nick made the dough from scratch but the sauce was from a jar and the cheese was pre-shredded -- this is an entire mood! It's called BALANCE!

You proved Matteo wrong by getting an appliance and already using it to make something, and pizza to boot!🎉 Next stop slow cooker soup? I can't wait either way 👏😄

If there was ever a moment where "FOLD in the cheese" comes to life. Activating yeast and waiting for it to foam is confusing af if you've never done it frfr

I would happily go to Nick’s pizzeria every single day, but only if Nick was present and we could see and hear him in the back preparing the food. It’d be dinner AND a show. Good job, chef Nick!

You go Nick! I honestly thought it'd be a disaster...watching you in the kitchen is as suspenseful as watching an episode of ER!

So clearly Nick didn’t make the pizza at Pizza Hut lol

"Is this mayonnaise?!' that's gold! 😂😂😂😂

I’m screaming laughing not at you nick, but because your videos show the true reality of the majority of us (pure chaos, panic, stress, confusion,…but then the confidence and determination to commit… 😘 chef’s kiss

My favorite pizza recipe is when someone makes it, drives it to you, and then you pay them.

The pure serotonin I get every time Nick screams some form of HOLY JESUS 🤣💖👏

There are people in this world who like to cook. Who like to work on cars. Who like to obsessively clean. I'm thankful we live in a world where people can be happy doing things they like and I can pay them to do it because I HATE doing all of those things.

I love Nick. He is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs. 🎉❤

You are a national treasure !!! Oh my gosh whenever I see you have new content I must watch. Keep doing you Nick !!!

Watching Nick fight with the food he is cooking is everything ❤😂

I need to see Mateo's reaction to this lol

This is the only channel I find myself talking out loud to the screen & I love it. If you just randomly opened the Betty Crocker cookbook & made that recipe would be something.

The thing with cooking your own meals is that it becomes cheaper if you prepare everything yourself, and as long as you buy economy ingredients (so, for example, shredding a block of cheese rather than buying pre-shredded, making your own pizza sauce, you don't really need 00 flour - regular all-purpose flour would work just as well). For the price of a couple of pizzas ordered in you could get enough ingredients to make many more pizzas, and use for other things as well such as baking bread. You did a great job, and it looked delicious. The look on your face is the realization that cooking at home tastes so much better! Congrats, I hope you do more cooking.

You should make Olive Garden dishes and have Matteo taste test them.

You also have to factor in use of the energy to cook.... either gas or or electric, also your time has value. This includes shopping, prepping and cook time and then there's clean up time and even the minimal expenses of water, dish soap and / or the electricity to run a dishwasher.

9:29 it’s so adorable when you nail tossing the pizza dough!!! Go Nick!

Nick "I don't know how people do this everyday..." Also Nick "I'm starting my own pizza shop!"

Vincent Van Gogh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! someone get this boy to a museum please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nick you’re 100% correct about how expensive it is to just gather ingredients. Ugh! Tbh it’s frustrating. I appreciate you actually pointing that out .

Nick might be the funniest and most iconic person ever

Not gonna lie the finished pizza looks DELICIOUS

Matteo doesn't even need to be here to hear him screaming lmao

"matteo could LITERALLY never" 😭😭

Way to go, Nick! I'm so proud of you! As someone who used to throw dough in the air for a living, you already have a knack for it and you should keep practicing to get really good and show off. Really rub it in Matteo's face or make a competition out of it and just dunk on him. And of course, film it for content. LOL! Keep being amazing, dear!

"I'm not actually Italian". Nick is "Italian Adjacent" 😆

This was not nearly as disastrous as I expected it to be. Nice job, Nick! No more ordering Pizza Hut for you. I believe you’ve found what could be a new hobby!

4:31 I had to pause because I was laughing so hard and I didn’t want to miss anything. 🤣

Does Matteo know you have his KitchenAid? 😂😂😂😂

Fantastic Nick. Learning to cook and bake can be fun and rewarding as you get better. Thank you for showing us your pizza bending superpowers. 🕺🏻🐕

Next time Mateo does a show in London, PLEASE come with him! 🙏

"And now I am a pizza bender!" 🤣

Watching you transfer the pizzas to the pan was the most stressful part of my day 😂 It turned out amazing though, and I'm so proud!

Nick I found your RU-vid yesterday through your best frenemy's and went on a binge watching them all! You're absolutely perfect!

The pan, balanced on the counter edge and sink divider...with one pizza on it...almost killed me with anxiety. But you *triumphed*! 😆🤩

First edible looking meal Nick has ever made. Congrats!

Not gonna lie the pizza did look GOOD! Excited to see the mixer used in the future, possibly other cookies or baked goods, or homemade French fries???

That was actually some impressive skill in tossing the pizza dough, looks like it turned out great!

You 👏🏾 turned 👏🏾 it👏🏾 out!

Nick became my favorite RU-vidr before his channel even started. He’s my favorite cook

"Should I blow on it?" 😂 I've said it before, the kitchen is where you really shine. Good work, though, the end result looks awesome! You make an excellent point about the cost of ingredients often being greater than the cost of takeout. I've been saying it for years, but it's even more true in today's economy. I love that you made an Italian dish; can't wait to hear Matteo's verdict. 😅❤

This was fun and hilarious. Love you Nick!

Oh my gosh ! 01.23.24 Bumped into you and Bob at 6th and 29th today. Funny I recognized you and then Bob. Told you that ya’ll are so funny on your channel. Know you guys were in a hurry, as I’m in NYC for the Madonna concert tonight. So good to see y’all “in the wild”. 😊

Also, I love this! You did a fantastic job. Now, we need a reaction video from Matteo.

Nick trying to get flour in the mixer fixed my bad mood 😁 ❤

Cute kitchen aid mixer! I just got one too and can’t wait to use it. 😊 I agree about sometimes cooking is more expensive 😂 so happy that you conquered pizza!!! Make tacos 🌮 next

That crunch. Good job. Impressed with the tossing too 🍕

I mean... I was shaking in my boots, laughing like an hyena. I feel like a proud mama bear! Good job. My Italian mother and grandparents are looking down...whata a gooda boy! How about baking a pie? But you must make the crust from scratch. No store bought/no cheating. Any kind of pie, whatever your pleasure.

When you said we were holding our respective breaths, I had to laugh, because I was! Good job all around!

Nick your too much fun... living in southeast Tennessee in the mountains, the only yeast i know is creating mash for moonshine. Come on down we'll have shrimp n grits, homemade cornbread, fresh homemade biscuits n sausage gravey and more... i promise we won't make lamb balls.

It's VERY hard to learn to cook and bake recipe by recipe, as you never really learn the basics of WHY the recipe works, or doesn't. I learned by watching years of public TV cooking shows. The better way is to get Martha Stewart's videos on the basic techniques of baking, frying, roasting, etc., etc. However, you did indeed conquer this pizza, so HAIL NICK, THE CONQUERING HERO!

I need a supercut of the ‘Holy and ’ variations. They give me so much joy. ❤

Your nona must be soo proud. Matteo can never.

Nick! This was an amazing effort. I was expecting a lot more exasperating and attitude towards the pizza, but this was genuinely hilarious and it looked like you had fun! I’m also proud of the end-result as well!

iT's like watching your kid learning how to walk, scared, thrilled and proud at the same timw when he finally nailed that step. .... and I don't even have a child!

Honestly, pizzabender is iconic.

I can feel Matteo fuming over Nick saying "buonginorno!"🤣

Yay!!! Good job… I can’t wait to what next. You give us all hope 🥰

Nick, I'm continually impressed by you. You are such a good sport about more things than I would have ever imagined. Lol this was amazing

I’m really proud you didn’t give up Nick! You kept on trying and look…a beautiful homemade pizza! 🎉 This is how you become a great cook, keep on trying! 🍕👏🏻👏🏻

“Oh I did it RIGHT on top, should I blow on it?” 😂

Nick, yes we were all holding our breath when you moved the pizza. 😂 This is yet another great video! I wish you were in my kitchen when I cook and bake! Pizza looks super yummy! 😋🤤

I say this with love cause I’m awful in a kitchen myself but Nick using the two spatulas to pick up the pizza and after his taste test the way his eyes looked after every chew to make sure he actually liked it 😂😂 great video!

Bravo, Nick! 👏☺️ I got nervous when you put your hand into the moving mixer, but love the robin’s egg blue kitchenware! 👨🏻‍🍳🍕

Nick’s proud face when he realised he could toss the dough 😂 That pizza did look delicious!

Nick, I am impressed! ❤ I haven't cooked in a kitchen in YEARS!! So good for you!!

Yay, Nick!! You hit it out of the park! Enjoy that sweet KitchenAid mixer!

Oh girl, you already have me in stitches😂😂

i love this cooking series because it entertains us AND encourages you to cook more, which is a goal of yours!

noooo another gadget hahah 😂😂

I couldn’t help but think about David saying, “how do you fold in the cheese”. You’re killing me. ROFL 😂😂😂❤

Nice job! That looks super yummy! It's not a good idea to stick things into mixer when it's on, you can stop it to add your ingredients and turn it back on. The Kitchen-Aids usually come with a piece that goes around the top of the bowl and it has a section that angles lower where you can add your ingredients and it funnels it into the bowl. I'm surprised it didn't come with that part, but you can buy it if you want to. I personally don't like it, I just add stuff close to the edge. You won't have so many problems when you use the regular paddle.

Mateo wishes he was as Italian as you, Nick

I actually started applauding for Nick’s dough tossing ability.

I literally was LOLing the entire time. 😂😂😂😂 amazing!!!

Ok the crunch was marvelous…..❤

"Maybe she's born with it, Maybe she Papa John's" 💀⚰ Love you the most, @nicksmith09 ! 🫶

Nice job Nick! I hope you do this again, pretty good results and a crisp crust too. I could hear it crunch when you bit into. For your next attempt put your dough on the sheet pan and then top it with your sauce etc. You don’t have to fight lifting it and transferring it to the pan. You aced it nice job!!!!! Chef Rob

That was great 😂… Yes I was holding my breath during the move to the cookie sheet. I’ll try this! TY for tossing this out 😂 to the webernet

These cooking videos are such a delight ❤️

Of course Nick brings up that other kind of yeast. 😂😂 I just love you so much.

Matteo is not even present, and i can imagine he is staring with the power of a 1000 suns 🤣

haha! this was so fun! it was like watching the enchiladas scene on schitts creek. 😂

I love the intermittent “What’s happening?!”

Nick should get on Worst Cooks that would be hilarious

This made me snort laugh and made my entire day! I love these videos and YOU! Turn that girl out and have a fabulous day! 😂❤

Nick has Dad's in charge of dinner tonight energy in this video lol But I love it❤😊

I am still trying to master bread dough...2 tries...2 fails. Also, I love the floppy hair in this episode. You always look perfectly coiffed and styled, but for this episode, you don't look like you just stepped out of a fashion magazine and I am totally here for it!

I was actually holding my breathe watching the pizza transfer 😂😭😂

Nick you killed it! How about cream puffs? You may want to snag a Fiestaware Pizza Tray it comes in your kitchen colors and its good for pizza, cookies, any baking really.

Just wanted to say thank you so much for your videos. You are hilarious 😂

I’m getting a “fold in the cheese” vibes. LOL

LOL Can we start a petition to get Nick on Worst Cooks in America!

I feel you chose pizza partly because you wanted to try making it, but mostly to mess with Matteo 😂
