How to Grill Pizza | Kenji's Cooking Show

[@DaBlondDude]

At the restaurant we did 'this'. For the cooks at home (in real life) here's what you can do. I love that you don't delete things like 'oops' when the brush separated, forgetting to oil a side and using a wine bottle. Helps clutzier folks like myself feel a little less freakish.

[@llamzrt]

I love this too. Gordon Ramsay and co. live in a world where time runs at 4 times its regular speed and all their ingredients come in little glass jars which dissipate into a fine mist when they're done using them.

[@ChadPANDA...]

@@llamzrt well they are shooting for entertainment and drama in a restaurant what more you expect that only these kind of stuff is in the show

[@Yeoified]

@@llamzrt People aren't all that different just because of what containers their ingredients come in lmao

[@petercasola4776]

Bon appetit is cancelled kenji is the best source for relaxing and informative 10-30min cooking videos

Different course for different horses ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Idk glen is pretty chill too

for now, hopefully they shape up :(

Hello this chef John from foodwishes.com, wiiiiith....

[@scorpia3215]

I appreciate the cool little editing things you're trying!

[@snekjuce]

Thank you for appreciating.

[@modest_mind2526]

I need to order me one of those kitchen floor cleaners, you call it a Shabu?? Automatic and fluffy, seems great.

[@tomregan6565]

Just want to thank you profusely for today’s article on this subject in the NYTimes. Tonight I nailed grilled pizza for the first time in more years than I’ll ever admit. The difference makers were smaller 5 oz dough portions and rolling out the dough. Thanks again!

[@TheKatherine1958]

So glad my son turned me on to your channel Kenji! (My son is 38 & is a great chef in his own right) Love your recipes/cooking, love your personality and all the good you stand for! Thank you.

[@johnburke2435]

I love grilling pizza, lately I've been doing a sourdough version where I make the dough the day before, let it bulk ferment for a few hours and then keep it in the fridge overnight to slowly proof. It's really nice, great flavor and texture!

[@JudiChristopher]

I would love to know how to make Sourdough ... Do you have a recipe ??

[@sarahg552]

Thank you for this video! I just made pizza on the grill for the first time tonight and thanks to your instrux, it came out great! Very grateful for your detailed and clear instructions. As a newbie to this, you were a great help.

[@tedteocookingshow]

The old wine bottle as a rolling pin trick. So rustic !

[@fantomagnik]

Lucali's Mark also does it the same way if I remember correctly

[@jonathannagel7427]

So... ideal. I was surprised when he said he misplaced his rolling pin... why bother?? 💛

[@tedteocookingshow]

Jonathan Nagel Yeh exactly!

[@HilbertXVI]

@@fantomagnik That's what I thought of too!

[@Fn0r1Chase]

See Lucali pizza

[@meccanised]

i love your outdoor kitchen - so cool with the Weber recessed into the bench.

[@rpinarreta]

Videos like this make me want for spring / summer returning to Canada. Both charcoal and N.Gas B.B.Q. grills are in the backyard deck open to the elements, snow, ice and minus temps of winter. Thanks for the inspirational video.

[@skrobotkrzysztof1451]

I made those yesterday and had a blast! I didn't know they where even possible until the Yoda master kenji showed the other side of the pizza force. I never made better pizza at home then from the grill. Thank you for sharing this recepie you reinvented all of my barbecues and pizza nights.

[@parate8628]

I just want to throw a huge shoutout to you for calling alioli it's original name and not messing with a prized Catalan creation like most Americans calling it Aioli the english adapted word from Occitan.

[@realbuntero7698]

Holy man, I could watch you cook forever.

[@crackedspyglass]

I would have thrown that brush straight in the trash in the midst of this video

[@markm7777]

Unfortunately, Cambridge 1 on Church Street closed in December.

[@sachmoney]

Was just coming into the comments to report that. Had you been? Never got the chance. Was always a Noch's guy.

[@milliway2010]

Whoa! Just made this...we're under fire restrictions today so I used the gas grill on the Wolf stovetop and the flattop on medium for the "cool" side...turned out soooo good...thin and crispy and the caramelized onions & mushrooms were a revelation. Thank you!

[@disc33]

It is truly a marvel watching you do your thing, Kenji. Thank you for all that you do :)

[@HunterTinsley]

I did one last week with a traditional style crust. Threw the pizza stone on the grill, cooked closed, then finished directly on the grill. The cheese was bubbling, and you still get the crispy bottom. It was fantastic.

[@anthonymcmanus7090]

i learn so much from each of these videos. and i do it all with a drink. thanks for making my life easier Kenji

[@Ansset0]

At last one "cooking" channel that is not full of ads and beggars (for sub/likes). Which is not staged, tried, re-tried. POV cam is the only way (imho) that it should be done :) My deepest respect.

[@MarkJohnClifford]

Al Forno's. One of my favorite restaurants in Providence when I had an office there. Capriccio's Andino's, The Arch, The Old Canteen, and Angelos were my others.

[@MarkJohnClifford]

@Will Hogan Yes it is. When I tell people traveling to RI or Boston from California I tell them to go to both places for great Italian food. When they come back they all rave and turn against the California Italian food scene. LOL

[@MarkJohnClifford]

@Will Hogan Been there. Love their pizza.

[@MarkJohnClifford]

@Will Hogan It's California Italian out here. Things like ravioli stuffed with a pumpkin stuffing and a pumpkin sauce. My Sicilian Grandmother would roll over in her grave if I ever made that.

[@berylsteel3977]

I use an oversized slip of parchment paper to form pizza and add toppings making transfer to and from household oven safe, clean and easy for clean up…simply hold sides of parchment to pick up pizza and slip into oven and pull out of oven same way.

[@GratefulThird]

Thank you so much for this. I tried it for the first time today, and it was a smashing success. I did it on a gas grill as you mentioned a friend of yours does, and I will be doing this many times in the future. 🙂

[@SandraudigaVali]

the sound of that first bite was eargasmic

[@astro2191]

Kenji, I was born and raised in NJ and have never seen pizza with cheese under sauce*; in my mind NJ pizza is second to NYC same style, just NYC is better. To me, any pizza with cheese under sauce, I would think it's Chicago or Detroit first. That said, I get the reasoning why you do it this way and it looks like a phenom pizza so I'm not sure if I should really even be complaining lmao. It is a super nice method though to throw toppings on and not worry about them. All the tomatoes, nice pickled stuff, etc.

[@JKenjiLopezAlt]

Not all of jersey. North Jersey, specifically Trenton. Look up Trenton tomato pie.

[@cellobarney]

Alternatively, you can also do pizzas on a smoker, like a Traeger. Lots of wood-smoke flavor. We sometimes do it with take and bakes from Papa Murphy's. I've gotta try this method, now; it's WAY faster! Thanks!

[@sameoldsteph]

I lived next to Al Forno in Providence. Grilling pizza is so fun!

[@bballerforever]

I’ve made many kinds of naan pizza but hadn’t thought of using corn - thanks for the creative ideas!

[@Repulseer]

My man, u gotta put out a PSA to BingingwBabish cuz he keeps mentioning you like you're a long dead food researcher. I was surprised when your vids came up on my feed!!! Also, Keep up the tasty work!! You're making magic!

[@CamGottaFro]

“It’s looking ‘grate’” I see what you did there 😏.

[@michaelkatz4068]

I didn't know if anyone else picked up on that; so subtle

[@haranjames]

kenji's kids are gunna be real disappointed when they realize they're not always gunna be able to eat like this all the time

[@Ne1vaan]

They'll have grown up cooking.

[@ytreece]

I bet they will learn to cook and be way ahead when they move out. I cook a lot and my son was an excellent cook by the time he was 18.

[@jimburns1927]

You have my Mouth Watering for that Grilled Cambridge Pizza 🍕 Awesome 👏 Kenji

[@theonlyisteve7261]

Sending love from India. Really love your video even though I can't make most of the things.

[@GautamBajaj96]

Hahaha. Totally agree with you

[@travelrewind422]

We stan the consistent uploads

[@cinemaocd1752]

Me, making this pizza for the fam: this is called New Jersey tomato pie My British husband: you are just saying words now, aren't you?

[@SantaBarbaraBaker]

100% grate. If you don't have a pizza rig of any sort grilling right on the grates of a grill is a grate way to go. With summer feeling like it's here, all about that outdoor pizza lifestyle. Thanks for the vid!

[@cbarreto11usa]

Nice vid man, i love grilled pizza, i once went to a place called WEST 9 in West Roxbury and had a pizza with grilled corn, pulled pork topped with a chipottle mayo wich was the best grilled pizza i ever had, this was about 10 years ago. Once i saw your corn going in that memory just clicked... Good job with the fresh good. Cheers from Brazil

[@saamirt]

Hey Kenji, i've been going through the backlog of your videos after realizing that you're uploading over the quarantine. I saw that you have an interesting way to split frozen veggies and everything else in the freezer. I'd really like to see a video explaining how you like to set things up in your fridge/freezer.

[@benb8647]

Yes! Kenji please do a fridge tour alla MTV Cribs

[@gian323]

Wine bottle rolling pin is very Lucali of you ...damn I miss NY

[@dustinhodges9987]

I can't believe I'm learning so much. Thanks so much for putting out this content.

[@DreamPhreak]

Your videos are pure gold.

[@JudiChristopher]

EXCELLENT VIDEO

[@oliverlewis960]

I dig this guys life style, flip flops and grillin

[@Karen_intheKitchen]

This is awesome with the kids being home for summer.

[@amusingbouche4551]

PSA: If you want to drink the rest of your wine in your rolling pin, make sure that you're using a younger wine with no sediment

[@andrew20146]

I can only aspire to be as hopeful as your dog.

[@Max5000jo]

If you made a pizza video every day I would still watch it

[@danielwerger5641]

Kenji, thank you for the vid's... I'm kind of binge watching your channel. Very enjoyable. Cheers from west coast of Canada...!!!

[@Calicaveman]

I was on set at paramount Pictures with Michael Bay and Mark Wahlberg and the chef made pizza hust like you did wow it was GOOD !!! I have to try that!!!

[@NebulaClad]

Kenji goes "oop" whenever he performs a maneuver

[@kariforuniajin]

Ooooo. Kenji stepping up his video editing game. I like it.

[@Sam-pg8cs]

I want Kenji to make some larger dinners. (Maybe to copy him completely 👀😁)

[@TheJensPeeters]

I loove this channel, you have the right mix of ambitious and doable in the recipes. It always looks delicious and i already got inspired by a bunch this videos. This is definitely the channel enjoy the most at the moment. In the video with adam I noticed that you were asking about how to be successful on youtube or rather consistently successful . I would think the most important is that you enjoy doing them, so please don't change anything about your videos if you don't feel like it. Right now they are the right combination of homey, professional and anarchist filming

[@JKenjiLopezAlt]

Yeah I’m just gonna keep going the way I feel like going.

[@kaustshroff381]

When you roll dough with wine bottle, it reminds me of the owner of Lucalli in NYC, who does the same thing. Btw, FANTASTIC PIZZA; one of the best in NYC.

[@alexstanley6546]

Grilled pizza? What a grate idea!

[@FrederickFIintstone]

best cooking show on the internet

[@ichweissnicht9608]

that rotating wire rack trick is mad never thought about that

[@fortune500b]

Reminds me a lot of Adam Ragusea's broiler pizza, but this seems much safer :P

[@JAEVideogroup]

I thought so too! I think Adam just values the browned cheese too much for grilling it though lol.

[@rescuelight]

The funny thing is Kenji described broiler pizza on serious eats 7 years ago.

[@Ckproduction03]

Combined those two methods for amazing results! Grill the pizza then top it and throw it in the broiler for about one minute!

[@Tallbus122]

Exactly what I was waiting for. I had imagined something like this. Now it's time to try it.

[@Onkruid]

What a cool idea to make pizza! Thanks for enlightening us Kenji :)

[@matril01]

Hi Kenji- great video, thanks for sharing. Any chance you can do a similar style pizza on a gas BBQ? You mention in this video that it can be done, but it would be great to see your technique!

[@JKenjiLopezAlt]

Yes same exact technique.

[@arlenemurphy804]

Looks delicious.thank you for sharing.🍕🍕🍕🍕

[@TyLo178]

love ya kenji, you always do your best to spread positivity while cooking, and i really believe that it encourages people to cook more often and enjoy your videos more. Thanks for all the content you create for us you never seem to miss or make a bad video.

[@galatasarayca]

Kenji upped his nona skills with the wine bottle rolling :)

[@FlinklynChannel]

This is so delicious.. yummy! Thanks for sharing!

[@mandyshen174]

Hi Kenji! When are you going to open up your restaurant for dine in? Can't wait to visit!

[@dROUDebateMeCowards]

I was listening to this with my headphones in while working and I was sure my kid was screaming in the next room.

[@williamwestmoreland4069]

Well behaved dogs not trying to jump up after that pizza lol

[@andrewdanger2830]

like the grill table!

[@leedaomillz]

Can you do a video on your garden and backyard? it looks beautiful

[@propmadepostapo]

I will try this today, wish my luck

[@JohnHausser]

Used to be a fan of Sam the Cooking Guy but this channel is the best

[@Cambone13]

16:14 man i hate having to do that. Especially with community pies at a work lunch or something, bunch of my gross coworkers touching adjacent pieces.

[@WayneNoorey]

Cambone13 Yeah seriously, and I'm not-so-mildly infuriated to find out that it's done on purpose. What is wrong with people? I don't want randos (other than cooks) touching my food, and I don't like touching other randos' food.

[@atgunning]

I just got that dough proofer box, it it awesome!

[@ralphwilliam1075]

Aaah! You are adorable and I learn so much from you. Thanks mister!

[@jamalpeoples3736]

I do a bunch of crusts for parties and street festivals, and farmers markets. Then fire up my broiler. Then throw it under there for under a minute.

[@mattspyro]

wow! i havent thought of this. i really want to try! now just need a grill

[@koalabread3578]

I want him in my neighborhood for cookouts

[@tezpokemonmaster]

man I wish I had a kitchen setup like kenji, worked in many a restauraunt and love cooking but my 500 sqft apartment with a small coil-top stove and no room for prep is depressing to cook in.

[@uzzieb9984]

crunchy joe go to the park that has bbq grills already set up.

[@lullabies7441]

At 2:20 you can hear someone off to the left yelling something in the distance. I’m listening on headphones, after putting the kids down and though, ‘$hit, what happened...’ 😂

[@jessefallas7094]

that dough looks sooo cooperative

[@marycampbell9567]

No tidbits for Shabu and Jamon? 🙁

[@noahdemers6228]

Cambridge 1. actaully just closed towards the end of last year.

[@mpd_l_r]

Shabu Lopez-Alt is my hero.

[@tiamacy2712]

I laughed way too hard whenever his brush fell off the handle

[@benvertising]

Love that grill table. You make this yourself? I’m just worried the wood would get too hot?

[@michaelkatz4068]

@kenji Can we have a garden tour?

[@bart1034]

Kenji please make a pad Thai video I’ve been craving it and my favorite place is closed!!!

[@KnickKnackPatty]

Why were the shredded scallions kept in a bowl of water?

[@connorjones9627]

So they curl up - just for aesthetics

[@heidelbergaren5054]

Also milder flavors

[@stooge81]

winner winner, grilled pizza dinner.

[@baddragonite]

I could see taki g two of the doughs and placing them one on top of the other for an interesting sandwich

[@polskaking69]

Love your videos. Started watching at the beginning of NJ quarantine and wish I started sooner. Long time fan of your articles, books, and all posted literature. What size weber kettle are you working with here? I have the 22.5" just want to know what to expect. GoPro footage is great but makes it hard to guess measurements

[@thundre4879]

kenji: i respect my daughter's privacy and will not be showing her also kenji: *shows us his lockscreen which is just his daughter*

[@jmac3327]

Mmmmmh....that black soot on the crust looks delicious!

[@bbrockert]

Man I just want to gril some nan now. Amazing as pizza, but looks delicious just as a flatbread.

[@funnypapers9668]

I don’t understand the scallion topping. Is it scallions marinating in vinegar & olive oil? :)

[@JKenjiLopezAlt]

Just scallions in water.

[@a.b17]

This almost could end up being a hybrid West Virginia style. Unmelted cheese can be pretty interesting, from time to time

[@Big_Citrus9]

Hello, I have a gas grill and I'm going to try this out. I also have a pizza stone, would it make sense to preheat the stone on the grill or forget the stone and put the dough on the grill grates?

[@ZainxIqbal]

These pizza videos are great. Can you do a video recipe on the pesto?
