French Bread Pizza: Pizza or Glorified Bread? || Really Dough?

After settling back into the road trip, Mark is ready to hit the road with Scott again. But that doesn’t mean he has to stop giving Scott a hard time! Once Mark gets some good digs in, they decide to switch it up and get hot dogs at Spike’s Junkyard Dogs in Allston, Massachusetts. But once they get there, Scott spots a french bread pizza on the menu, and obviously, he can’t not order it! Will Mark think bread counts as dough? Is Mark even willing to eat more pizza? Will Mark ever let Scott live the low key kidnapping down?
What makes a pizza, a pizza? Lucali owner and old-school Brooklyn pizzaiolo Mark Iacono has a strict pizza formula: sauce, cheese, and dough. That’s it. But renowned pizza enthusiast Scott Wiener believes that the beauty of the slice comes from its creative customizability; even if it’s topped with cheeseburgers or constructed with paella. Scott travels all over America to spotlight the country’s most unique pies and make a case for whether these new customizations can, in fact, still be considered a pizza. This time, he’s taking Mark along for the ride on an East Coast road trip to try the craziest concoctions claiming to be pizza... but are they really dough?

For those wondering, here are all 12 of Mark’s rules so far, including all variations, in order of their first appearance (rewatched every episode for this). Personal comments between /* */. 1a. Sauce, Cheese, and Dough (S1E1,2,3,4,6) 1b. Sauce. Cheese. Dough. That’s it. (S2E1,3,4,6;S3E6) 1c. Dough. Sauce. Cheese. That’s it. (S3E4,7) /* So, according to versions b and c, "that's it," is pepperoni pizza not pizza??? */ 2a. You walk into a pizzeria, the smell should punch you in the face. (S1E1,4) 2b. When you walk into a pizzeria, the aroma should punch you right in the face. (S2E1,3,5,7) 2c. When I walk into a pizzeria, I want that smell to punch me in the face. (S3E1,2,3,6) 3a. Pizza tastes best served right out of the oven. (S1E2,5,6) 3b. Pizza must be eaten hot out of the oven. (S2E2) /* So, in version b, "must," is cold pizza not pizza??? */ 4. 500 degrees across the board. (S1E1,2,5) /* Aren’t most pizza ovens a lot hotter? */ 5. Make it really good. (S1E1,3) 6a. A pizza should look better than it tastes. (S1E1,2,3,6) 6b. Pizza should look as good as it tastes. (S2E1,2,3,4,6,7;S3E1,2,3) /* Which is it? "Better" or "As good"? */ 7. Pizza should be eaten with your hands, never a fork and knife. (S2E1,2,5;S3E1,4,5,7) 8a. Pizza dough: flour, water, yeast. Nothing else. (S2E2,4,5) 8b. Pizza dough should be made from flour, water, salt, and yeast. Nothing else. (S3E1,5) /* So, is salt allowed, or not? */ 9. Real Pizza needs to have the finest and ingredients. (S2E3,4,7) 10. Pizza should be baked in an oven. (S2E5,6) 11. Pizza should be round or square-no other shape. (S2E7) 12a. You should taste the town that the pizza came from. (S3E1,2,3) 12b. A city’s got flavor; you should be able to taste that when you eat there. (S3E4,5,7) 12c. A city’s got flavor; you should be able to taste that in their pizza. (S3E6) Other ‘Rules’ and Comments of Note (rewatched some, but not all, of every episode): A. S1E3: “No dessert; pizza and calzone, leave me alone.” B. S2E3: “You can eliminate the sauce, and just have cheese, and have a pizza; you can eliminate the cheese, and just have sauce, you still have a pizza… You can eliminate one of the two, meaning, sauce and cheese, and you still have a pizza.” Ci. S2E6: “Don’t you ever bring me a rainbow pizza.” Cii. S2E6: “I like it so much, that I’m going to have to say it’s pizza.” D. S2E8: “Scott is no longer allowed in my pizzeria.” E. S3E5: “S: Do you have rules for calzones? / M: Uhhm… No.” Most common rules seem to be numbers 6 (13 occurrences), 1 (13 occurrences), and 2 (10 occurrences). Let me know if I missed anything, or got anything wrong! Also, Mark should clarify rules 1, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

I’m watching this, completely baffled that, on a trip up north, you’d get French bread pizza at some unknown hot dog joint, rather than heading a few hours west to Ithaca, to sample the goods at Johnny’s Hot Truck, where the genre was invented. Then I did a little research, and it seems that that pillar of the pizza universe is no more. Part of my childhood just died.
