[@michaelpistey4001]

I'm 68 years old, all my family is from the New Haven area. However, I grew up in the Midwest. This pizza has been my ideal style since childhood. I've been making my own pizza for decades. This now will be a slice of heaven. Thank you all for sharing this.

[@austinmarius850]

Vito has upped our family pizza game soooo much. I've watched every single video from him several times over and have benefitted tremendously from each of them. I can't wait to try this New Haven style out. MOre so - we can't wait to visit Frank's with a big smile and a thank you to Vito and the KZbin pizza community he's developed. The only issue is that now, all pizza we get from the "outside" is just second best to what we're able to achieve at home with time, care, and fresh ingredients - just as Vito dictates! Thank you VITO .. viva pizza!

[@michaelcannon7640]

That oven is so seasoned after 100 years. You’ll never replicate that at home. Still Vito is a very good teacher, and if you follow what he says you’ll make pizza at home that is better than most pizza restaurants.

[@lovesgibson]

It’s also more about the way the convection works in properly built stone ovens, and the amount of heat they can have that home ovens can’t get to. Home ovens max out at 550. Average temp for that oven is probably 625-650

[@lovesgibson]

@@ohger1 nope. The guy who works there even said so. If the oven was even close to that temp, the pizzas would be done in 90 seconds just like neopolitan style. The ovens are way to deep and it would be way too difficult to make neopolitan style in an oven like that because of how fast the pizzas cook and how frequently you have to rotate them so they don’t get burned from the main source of heat

[@LV-xe9mx]

Agreed @@lovesgibson We purchased our first "outdoor home pizza oven" and were disappointed that it would only heat to 550f so sold it and ordered a different one that could get us to 700ish as we had bought in to the "home ovens can't get hot enough" mantra. Burned up our first couple in the new oven. Learned our lesson. For neopolitan (most other styles) more heat isn't necessarily a good thing

[@PWiz30]

Even Pepe's has a hard time replicating it when their new locations first open.

[@greatmaddyave]

Wrong. The oven makes or breaks this recipe. You need a good hot oven to recreate this. Furthermore this isn't even the correct recipe. So much was left out because Frank thinks its his "Secret". Its not but okay whatever.

[@sp5wit]

Vito, it's wonderful to see you worship pizza in all its forms. It doesn't matter if it's Napoletana, Bari, NY or Heaven. You can always see the passion in what you do. I'm making poolish pizza for the first time tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed

[@joeraccio7]

[@anthonyiannone8766]

My family grew up on Wooster St New Haven when they came over from Italy. I'm embarassed to say that I did not have a Frank Pepe clam Pizza until my 20's. My brother kept telling me about a clam pizza and I just ignored him for years. I now live in Florida and they do have a Pepe's across on the Eastern coast and it has the same wait as it does in New Haven. But its worth it all. This was a great show. God Bless Frank and the Staff and you Vito, for the enthusiasm and class.

[@Bennn2013]

You two are good in videos. He does NOT want to disclose secrets but also loves all of this haha. Great video

[@gnome2024]

With 1 kg of flour and 700ml water this should actually make about 3 dough balls that are 550 grams each. Great video! Love the collaboration!

[@atoms7]

Or 1 giant dough ball

[@craigurrito]

Agreed I have tried the recipe a couple times now and ended up making three dough balls each time. 1 was slightly smaller than 550 g.

[@TheJpmichel]

Just followed this recipe and technique and yes, this should make 3 dough balls. I made two and after rolling out one and getting it ready for toppings it was painfully obvious that it was way too big for 14-in pizza stone in conventional oven. Still, the results were absolutely stunning!

[@bradleypham]

I've made probably 100 pizzas so far, just watching you handle dough makes me realize I still have a long way to go. Thanks for showing me the New Haven style I'm going to do that next. Would love to see Sally's technique as well.

[@JunesTarotJourney]

Vito it was so wonderful watching your make the dough. I think Peppe was very impressed too! At 83, I could never mix the dough the way you did because of my body limits (degenerative arthritis in my spine among other things). I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to see you do another video with this dough recipe but mixing it in a stand mixer for we elderly or physically compromised who still cook and love to make and eat pizza. 💕💕😊😊👍👍😊😊💕💕

[@jhoffpsu]

[@deker0]

He kept pushing giving out the secret over and over, I was like "can you shut up and stop asking?"

[@bjjbrawler1]

Great info! I've made the Pizza Gavones New Haven dough recipie and this is virtually identical! The only crucial thing I see different is the fast/ overnight proofing.... and this is CRITICAL to thin crust pizza. The 2/ 3/ 4 day fermentation process produces WAY too much gas. Such a great simple sauce and basic fresh ingredient concept- no wonder why Frank Pepe's is one of the best! Thank you gentlemen.

[@LV-xe9mx]

For "homemade" pizza of almost any style we've tried - LESS is almost always better when it comes to toppings (IMO)

[@sammyvanhorenbeke6735]

Great to learn this old technique while making a fifth documented attempt to approach New Haven style. Just keeping track of what works while tweaking. The absence of olive oil for the impasto and salt incorporation might just do it next time. Thank you very much, hope you’ll boomerang it back to the old country. What an oven to overcome the 10 minutes with a whole lotta volume. Definitely make it as this next time.

[@xmas4203]

No oil in the dough and bread flour for strength. That's how Andris Lagsdin does it. I've made it and it's good, but more chewy, not in a bad way. Love this video! Kudos Vito.

[@ohger1]

I use a 50/50 bread to AP. I like a little chew as well.

[@xmas4203]

@@ohger1 my last couple batches, I use bread flour for the poolish (200 grams flour/water, 2 grams yeast and 5 grams honey) and finish the recipe with 00 flour for a 65% hydration. Also 2% sugar is making my bottom and crust beautifully browned.

[@xmas4203]

@Bizarre News Network True, but for a home oven with a pizza steel, 2% sugar was the magic for perfectly browned bottoms and nicely brown crust.

[@joeysketokitchen]

My favorite pizza chef making my favorite pizza of all time...life can't get any better! A Frank Pepe's just opened in Delray Beach (South Florida). Going there this coming Wednesday. No disrespect to Neapolitan pizza, love them and Vito is the best, but IMHO nothing compares to an original New Haven pie. For me it is as pure as pizza gets... bread, tomato, herbs and a dusting of pecorino romano. Simple and spectacular. I do an 80/20 blend of bread flour and 00 with a little roasted garlic in my dough at 70% hydration. 24 hours of cold ferment is great, but for a little extra flavor to your crust, try 48-72 hrs...trust me, there is a difference.

[@cmsense8193]

Have you been to the original in New Haven? I’ve only tried New Haven Pepe’s when I lived up north. I’m thinking about trying the one in Plantation one of these days.

I chatted a bit with the manager and he said the goal is consistency, which is probably my biggest gripe when it comes to eating out. Just seems to be so hit and miss these days.

You moved back. We miss you. Great work. I make pizza all the time. Hybrid between new haven, new york and sicillian. Stretch it, let if proof stretched out 10-20min on the peel, then top and bake. Bubbles, fluff and crisp. Back of a large 15" cast iron pan. Convection oven at 530 or so. it does 550 but for me in my oven that's too hot. Let it bubble down and thicken the no cooked sauce. I grew up in southwick ma roma pizza. Definitely unique and spiced and well topped. Raw chunky peppers, chunky sauce. thick crust, little doughy thick in the middle. Medium thick. It was a fun place.
