[@michaellukaniuk5074]

"Do not make the dough nervous." Maybe the best piece of advice ever.....bravo Vito...

[@pizza996]

thats deep! and also work with everythink like that... :) next level of understanding. Enjoy :)

[@dc41]

And what if my dough makes me nervous??? 😡

[@jenshoefer7944]

That's real passion 💯

[@arcturusbbqsausagemaking2435]

@CAl Gond Yes he does, If you watch some of his other videos you definitely can see him rotating the pizza while he's stretching it

[@assuntakoay2035]

It’s YOUR style n enthusiasm dat makes the difference!

[@P1AYL1ST]

thanks vito, ive been making pizza's for my friends on weekends and I learned everything from you. best teacher!

[@Kewinowicz]

at the beginning this slap technique didnt work, but after a few times of practice i finally got it how to do it and now, i cant imagine to streach the dough without it. thank you for teaching us!

[@brianhanington470]

Maestro! Thank you a hundred times for all your enjoyable and helpful insights. I’m a 70-year old Canadian who, because of your series of videos, can finally make a pizza that makes everyone smile and beg for more. Grazie dal profondo del mio cuore!

[@armandoperezrivero8089]

Saludos!!! Amigo hay muchas pizzerias en Canada??

[@Stephen-rb7mp]

Thank you Vito! I am a cook in Louisiana, with Creole food. I am wanting to learn more about making Pizza. 🍕 I think I have found the perfect channel 😁

[@liveandletlive7152]

Mmmm Creole food. I come from Seychelles and we have a creole cuisine! So yummy!

[@StoonRay1]

I think the joy on your face over your art is fabulous.

[@AidenNeill3]

This guy's pizza is great, but it's that happy bubbly personality that keeps bringing me back to his videos for advice!

[@jiros00]

I like these dual language youtube vids. I'm picking up Italian. Bellissima.

[@vitoiacopelli]

nice

[@pixelrangerstudio86]

What a dull reply 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@retrobass3693]

I made the 70% dough by hand and it was great. I used the slap technique and it was nice and round. aaaand delicious. I was fluffy and soft crust. I need to use a hotter oven to make the whole pizza crunchy. The 70% dough really makes the pizza nice and soft. Before watching this video I did not know that you had to put the dough in flour before you stretch it. And the pizzas I did before stuck to the pizza pan a little. But now I use the flour before stretching, it does not stick anymore. Thanks for the videos Vito.

[@vitoiacopelli]

Fantastic!

[@UncleLousKitchen]

Vito is the best Pizza chef on KZbin, honestly nobody compares to him, I've tried his recipes and it's so so good. Bravo!

[@furball8967]

I agree! I learnt everything about making pizza from Vito.

[@Bevieevans8]

Top tip about putting the finished pizza on a rack before serving! I’ve done this now and my pizzas are loads better thank you. I keep practicing my stretching technique and like Cliff Warden says, your channel is the best!

[@vitoiacopelli]

thank you for dedicate some time to me

[@stevenvledder9163]

My first attempts were a bit finicky, almost folding the dough. But now I noticed you slightly rotate the pizza back to your left hand so it opens up nicely again. Will try next time! Thanks for the awesome lessons! Also, cant wait to try out the wood fired oven i'm building 😁

[@Radoseizov]

What a passion. You help me so much to understand the whole process of making pizza giving me best tips to start my business.

[@gracieosornio9291]

thank you for giving us the gift of a true artisian! your tutorial videos are helpful and inspiring! many blessings

[@andrewblack7852]

I like the dual language formato . Bringing the real pizza skill to the rest of the world. Most of the world doesn’t know what pizza really is. There is a lot of education needed. Thanks for all of the help!

[@edge6441]

This channel made me the pizzaiolo of my family thank you so much maestro Iacopelli!

[@jakubheliniak1156]

Definition of voilà from Merriam- Webster -used to call attention, to express satisfaction or approval, or to suggest an appearance as if by magic Vwa-Lah, Wa-Lah, Wa-La: The Many Misspellings of Voilà Voilà is a French borrowing into English that has mostly retained is Francophonic pronunciation: \vwä-ˈlä\, or \vwah-LAH\.

Thanks very much my friend. This is priceless. I watched many of your videos, even though I didn't try yet I'm sure it will workout well as I have been doing my own pizza and bread for last 7 years. I used to be in hospitality business and always wanted to come to Napoli, work in a pizza restaurant just to learn how to make a real pizza.

[@Larry-perkins]

Love your videos. Learning so much. Great work

[@TheROMaNProject]

On one of your other videos I believe you cautioned against using too much flour when kneading and stretching the dough? Here you were using large amounts of flour… I began using semolina for sizing / shaping, being careful not to use lots of it. My crusts taste fine but as yet are tough… much to learn.

[@katdunn7934]

I just watched a video before this one. It shows what to do if you over proof your dough. When watching this one, it looks like the over proofed dough. In that video he recommended not doing what they do in the restaurant. He reshaped the balls and let them rest 2 to 3 hrs longer. Here, he added more flour, I believe it was due to the dough being too easy to tear at that point.

[@njco78]

Bravo Vito e grazie per i videos
