I Flew from NYC to ITALY to Compare Pizza (NYC vs Naples)

[@andrealatela]

Here in Italy lots of restaraunts sells pizza at that price. It's considered the ''dish for the poor'' that's why it's affordable for anyone. When we travel to other countries we are curious to try pizza as well, even if we're not in Italy but we always been hit by the prices.. like, 20 dollars or more. Insane!

[@Christopher._M]

There are many places with cheaper pizza. I do agree many places over charge here. In the recent years it has gone up. A pizza similar in size to the one in this video used to cost 8-12 dollars. Not it's all the way up to 15-18.

[@fseffefsfefe7996]

Agreed, while pizzas in store are 2 euros, and restaurant pizza it's like 8 to 10 euros. But that's considered cheap here, since most restaurant meals start at 16

[@jeanguimaraes5527]

Here in Brazil is like $10 dollars the whole pizza

[@andrealatela]

@@Christopher._M I can agree with that prices just for some expensive ingredients. It always depend on the restaraunt, here usually you can find a margherita from 4 to 8 euros. If you want a special pizza, ''gourmet'' style, you obvioulsy pay more, like 10, 12, 14 euros. Never seen a more expensive pizza.

I'm from Naples and i tried a lot of pizzerias in my life, and i can say with confidence that the best in the world is in Caserta! Please do a video on this pizzeria, i don't know why it did not become popular outside of italy but here it is a known fact. It is called "I Masanielli di Francesco Martucci" and has won 3 times in a row the title of best pizza in the world by "50 top pizza" and they well deserve it. Da Michele is good but it is the old style of pizza making, now there is a new style that is taking italy by storm, and no food blogger outside of italy has tried it, i highly recommend it and you cold be the first!

Honestly I disagree with you. I tried Masanielli 's pizza and while the Futuro di Marinara was great, the Margherita and the scarola were just... average. Not really a great Pizza restaurant as a whole. A good restaurant where you can eat a revisitation of what pizza is. Like I'd never say to anyone that that is the best pizza I've ever eaten or something like that. I'd recommend those restaurants to someone who wants to try something new. We should honestly follow the example of Japan and differentiate the tradition from the innovation, giving more importance to the first.

During this summer, a famous person called Briatore decided to open a restaurant selling pizzas at higher prices, and ooooooh boy you can't imagine how the neapolitans took that. They started to criticise the prices and some neapolitan pizzerias arrived to the point of selling pizzas for lower prices or even FREE. That has been a crazy week.

On this topic of different ingredients, it always made me needlessly angry growing up that I had to constantly stir and keep an eye on the pasta I was boiling because leaving it out of sight for just a minute meant that it would stick to the bottom of the pot. I grew up thinking that, well, pasta is just supposed to stick and there's nothing else you can do other than stir, stir, stir. And then I befriended an Italian who used pasta that he had brought from Italy. He let it boil for a few minutes tops, stirred once or maximum twice, and it turned out perfectly al dente. That was when it clicked in my stupid brain and I was like, yeah, Italian pasta is definitely made different.

Great content here! 👏🏼👏🏼 By the way, here in Italy we have so many kind of pizzas! For the next time, I highly suggest you my preferred one: “the bufalina”! It’s a pizza with a ton of buffalo mozzarella (that has totally a different taste compared to the normal one) and fresh tomatoes! But actually I’m a sauce lover, so I ask for the “red bufalia”, in this way you get an amazing margherita, with a ton of buffalo mozzarella, red sauce, fresh sliced tomatoes, basil and just one bite of it brings you directly to the heaven! For tonight I definitely have to schedule for a seat in a pizzeria hahaha Other than that, must try are: -“the calzone”, that’s basically a folded pizza stuffed with some magic sauce and Neapolitan salami -“the montanara”, which has only the dough fried but on the top it looks like a margherita, so you can see the sauce, the basil and the mozzarella, not like the “pizza fritta” that basically is the fried version of the calzone Believe me or not, this is just the tip of the iceberg 😂

[@josephamaral419]

Love both styles and all I can say is they are different, especially the cheese. The dough varies because everyone has different fermentation methods, which changes the texture, and flavor. Napoletana has Fresh Mozzarella instead of skim shredded, which usually soups the pizza a bit if still has some moisture in it, but the flavor and string of it is unbeatable. Pizza is incredible and it's cool to see different adaptations of it in different countries.

[@salvadorromero9712]

Yeah this is why NYC is so often sold by the slice. Not much sauce, tons of full fat but dry cheese, medium thickness crust well browned on the bottom. They can make a pie then leave it out; they briefly pop it back in the oven and even if it's been left out for quite a bit it still tastes great. And in fact you can take the pie home on the train or have it delivered, or even have it cold in the morning. We have the fresh mozz pizza too, with its little dollops of mild cheese (which is all it can take of course!) on top of sauce and fresh basil. At those places obviously you scarf down a whole pie right away as fast as you can, that's only been made seconds before. Brett's choice of Joe's is nothing short of bizarre though. Not that it's horrible or anything. But being from Long Island (in fact from of the more Italian-American parts) he should know better; I'm sure out there he passed several better pies on his way to elementary school!

Hi Bert, you're right! I'm Neapolitan and I avoid every place where you have to stand in line on the street waiting for enter and eat! Luckily enough you can find pizzerias (mostly in the surroundings) where you can reserve a table in advance.

[@gabrielesantucci6189]

Come on!! Seriously, how can you think in America to have a better pizza than the Italian one, especially the one in Naples ? It was born in Naples they have been making it for centuries and you bring me a pizzeria in NY since 1975? You are a bit presumptuous! 🤦‍♂️😂😂😂

[@SockPuppet28]

I've had many pizzas in both NYC & Italy. NYC pizza is the best. Pizza in Naples has a soggy base(like a wet sweaty gym shirt) with carcinogenic, bitter black spots all over. Topped with a watery, soupy sauce. A pizza so sloppy, it must be eaten with a knife and fork. The cheese is good, but eat it fast! When the cheese cools, it turns to rubber.

[@HunterBribing]

Agree 100%. Your analysis is spot on. New York pizza is definitely better than the pizza in Italy.

[@Flipflop437]

I like American style pizza, and New York style pizza is definitely very good, but Neapolitan style pizza is way better in my opinion. American style pizzas really appeals to our gluttonous side with its salty, greasy cheese. But Neapolitan style pizzas have a bit more of a sophisticated flavor to it. The crust tastes like delicious, yeasty flat bread rather than just “pizza crust” flavor. The sauce is simplistic and more plain tomato flavor. The Mozzarella is less greasy and salty too. I don’t necessarily think you have to travel to Italy to have Neapolitan style pizza though. There are plenty of places in Italy that have bad Neapolitan style pizza, and plenty of places in the US that have good Neapolitan style pizza. All about finding a restaurant with good recipes. Who cares what country they are in.

[@Jacostation]

I'm Italian....you've never really seen pizza...in America you eat shit thinking it's good

[@codered8815]

Look at the typical European 🤭 thinking they are better than Americans. That pizza looks like trash to be honest . Doesnt compete with Chicago or Detroit .. get real

[@suhaaschennapragada5711]

Yeah set the bias aside buddy. Watery sauce, paper thin cracker like crust, and minimal toppings will never be superior to American pizza. Maybe american pizza isn’t “authentic” but it’s its own thing and american pizza does it better than italian pizza.

I’ve tried pizza in Italy: Rome, Naples & Venice. They’re good. But tbh, New Haven & NY style pizza is better, for me. It’s apples and oranges, really - both good but different.

I'm a Bronx Sicilian so I've had some really excellent pizza over the years, and I've tried the excellent pizzas of Naples, but the finest pizza I ever had was in Paestum. All ingredients were amazingly fresh, the buffala mozzarella was very local, the tomatoes from the fields across the street. Salerno was also a standout for pizza.

[@tirionpendragon]

As an Italian I have to say that from an American pizza I was genuinely expecting something terrible to come out; but I'm actually surprised by the look of Joe's pizza, I think that if you take an average pizza in Italy it would look really similar and that's a really impressive result! Remember that even a mediocre pizza in Italy is still really good to eat, obviously compare the Joe's slice with that pizza from Napoli is no game, but still surprised that in America you can find pizza that isn't a warcrime! I'm happy! 😁👍🏻

[@DeusVultBellator]

Hey man very nice video. If you come back to our city i recommend you try out Pellone pizzeria. While Michele and sorbillo are the most famous i think they fell off theyr grace a little bit and pizzas are not as good as they used to be, they feel more rushed, still very good but not as they used to be. Another one definitely worth the try is Pepe in Grani in Caiazzo...you will not regret it.

Eaten both NYC and Neapolitan pizza (in Naples). They are different and brilliant in their own way. Naples tastes fresher with pillowy dough, tangy san marzano and milky fresh mozzarella.
