Brit Reacts to Trying The Best Pizza In America

[@mippyflippy6706]

Pizza in the US is VERY subjective, especially based on the crust. Another huge variance is the sauce. Some are really sweet while some are really savory. You just have to try each style to decide what you prefer.

[@iridescentdragons114]

this is SO true! I'm not super in to thin crust pizza but I'm sure if I was in New York it would be a must have. I like a think buttery crust, lots of cheese and lots of toppings. If I have to use a knife and fork i'm all for it. But that's just me...

[@dreamweaver8913]

Yes, this is so true. People here are also biased based on what they grew up with. The guy in the original video is also obviously biased.

[@BillGD]

Probably an unpopular opinion: Buddy's made the original Detroit pizza, but there are so many places that pass them in taste and quality. My favorite chain for Detroit style is Jets, but everyone has their own version around here.

[@greghamann2099]

I have been to the original Lou Malnati's. It was the best pizza I have or will ever eat. The crust. the Wisconsin cheese, the sauce, the Italian sausage was perfection. Unforgettable.

[@dukey19941]

I detest Lou Malnati's. I hate that Chicago is known as deep dish. We have a way better pub pizza here.

[@malcolmmceasy2252]

As a pizza FYI.... "deep dish" pizzas are cooked in a pan coated with oil. This means the bottom of the pizza is FRIED. Regular pizzas are placed on a screen or pan coated with cornmeal, which BAKES the crust. So... fried bottom vs baked bottom. Buddies Pizza (Detroit) tastes like what many bars made and sold in the 70's. Given the right conditions, bar pizza tastes like the greatest food ever designed by man.

[@robertschwartz4810]

Deep dish pans are coated in butter, not oil.

[@grayscales1864]

That’s definitely not 100% true about frying the bottom of deep dish crust. Maybe some places do that but definitely not as a rule

My family can do one pizza with a side salad as a dinner (so we each get half). I checked, and they don't ship abroad. But I have ordered from them to ship to friends in the states going through a hard time, or for a gift box. Definitely go there, or order from there, when you get to the states. Freakin' awesome!

Trust me these places need to change nothing, he has his taste and we have our taste he doesn't like oregano because of memories someone may love me ve it because if memories and on and on. What makes New York Pizzas and Bagels extra special is the mineral content in NYC water gives it something no one can replicate. Same goes for Croissants, you can't replicate a French croissant because you aren't using the exact profile of French water. We had a bakery in Miami that used to import the dough ready made from France just to get us close. I live in North Carolina now coming from Miami and again same thing can't get a Miami pizza or bagel because of the tiny changes in water profiles which effects dough specifically. Also, it's American-Italians in the US who very definitely call pizza, pie and who can argue with that but you'd never catch them calling a California pizza a pie because that's just a pizza.

[@seabeacon8]

Lewis, dude...when are you coming to the states to experience some of this for yourself? That would be AWESOME!

[@spaceshiplewis]

The beauty of NYC is that there is a NY Pizza for everyone. So if you ask New Yorkers what pizza is the best, you'll get every pizza place. You gotta ask specifics, type of crust, type of toppings, type of sauce. Also NO New York Pizza chef will ever admit that their pizza needs fixing, they'd tell ya to Fuhgeddaboudhim and Whaddaheknowboutpizza. The originals have been doing pizza their way for generations and it came from their dear granma's recipe book, no way they are changing.

You can get breakfast any time of the day or night and the same for burgers and much more. Also, the best cheesecake and crumbcake is in N.Y/N.J. Things are more expensive in N.Y.City so you might want to keep that in mind, plus you need at least a week, but 2 would be better. Gotta go to Chinatown for the best Chinese food. ( ask the !ocal ppl. where they go to eat. That's where the best food is.

Olive oil, ricotta, and garlic. Wikipedia describes white pizza as “a style of pizza that does not use tomato sauce. The pizza generally consists of pizza dough, olive oil, garlic, cheese, salt and sometimes toppings including vegetables such as spinach, tomato, and herbs. White pizza is an adaption of Italian white pizza (pizza bianca), which contrary to American white pizza typically does not use cheese. Ricotta is a common type of cheese used on white pizza in the United States. Sometimes, white sauces, such as bechamel, are used.”

GARLIC BUTTER PIZZA THIN OR REGULAR CRUST. The guy doing this, KZbin video is right because you need the pizza to come together with the ingredients and yet if the sauce is too sweet or too tomato it’s not good. He almost gagged, biting into Chicago style, and I have to eat with a fork or I’ll choke ! If it is stuffed crust with cheese, it is good and I like it better but I still did it in a side of sauce. I’m American and I love garlic so I like a side dish of pizza sauce, but some Americans really like a side dish of ranch dressing with everything including pizza !! 😂 most Americans just love our ranch and I’m not excluded but not with my pizza!

The cheese on top, . . . I know Italians that make their Pizza this way and I too dabbled with this in the 1970's. What I discovered is it works when you are making a thicker crust, like the Detroit Style. The cheese prevents the toppings from turning into cinders from the longer bake time. How did Joe's only get a 7? Because my Pizza is better than Joe's. Joe's has to consistently deliver outstanding Pizza, day after day, year after year, to satisfy millions of people. Do you remember when Josh and Ollie were in New Orleans? Josh grabbed a bottle of hot sauce and shook it over something like he had seen a local do it. Neither he, nor Ollie could eat it with that much hot sauce on it. Think about it. If that Cajun restaurant prepared their food in a true Cajun Style it would limit their customers. So they serve food that is a 7.5 and put shakers and sauces on the tables, and at the counter so the locals can make that 7.5 a solid 9.

John's is a favorite of mine. And if you come to Queens it's Gaby's or Margheritas

Pizza and the use of the word “pie” is pretty universally used and accepted in most of the US. Pizza pie. It’s all pizza.
