[@linacarin]

There's a message the Italian pizza sends that I feel like a lot of people easily forget. It doesn't have to be so many complicated ingredients! I often see people slapping a bunch of toppings on all food in general like pizzas and etc. but the thing about the Italian pizza is what makes it great is it's so simple in its ingredients. It shows that to enjoy food, you don't need a bunch of stuff on a pizza that might even make the pizza less enjoyable since you don't get to savour all the flavor. That's what I love with the philosophy of the Italian Pizza. It's simply delicious.

As a hardcore ITALIAN foodie, currently living in New York City I cannot not comment: you NAILED it!!!!!! (As a youtuber myself I applaude you for the editing work, too👏). Nonetheless, if I'm a true Italian I have to make observations...right!? - You seemed to have made a margherita pizza: that one does NOT want any garlic in the tomato (you made the tomato sauce for marinara, which has completely different toppings). - You used buffalo milk mozzarella and shoved it in the oven: for many that's another Italian sin 😱 Buffalo mozzarella is very expensive, it turns gummy when heated and it releases a lot of juice. If you want to use it on pizza, put it after it's baked. if you want to make a classic margherita instead, use cow milk mozzarella ("fiordilatte" as we call it): it's cheaper, it's better for pizza and it melts forming threads when you pull it. - NY style has much stronger flavor, so it should have been tasted for second in the taste test, otherwise it covers the flavor of the Neapolitan. The last guy who voted for NY style still had American cheesy pizza in the mouth when he tasted the Italian one 🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀

Italian pizza looks so much better

[@GbBooks]

Great job there! Let me just add some facts as an italian: 1. in Italy it's not as unusual as you seem to think to put some sugar into our tomato sauce. It might be actually needed to correct it if the tomatoes you are using are too acidic or low quality. 2. Garlic is definitely optional in many dishes and in pizza sauce as well 3. It is extremely difficult to find pizzerias in Italy which only use buffalo mozzarella. One of the reasons is that it costs more, but it is also because it is too humid and it risks wetting your pizza too much. So, yes you can have it as an add-on on top of your pizza, but I would not go for it. It is simply too good to be spoiled by cooking it. The best way to eat it is stand alone or in a caprese salad or with some good ham. That's my opinion, if you have good and fresh buffalo mozzarella just don't waste it on pizza.

[@vladimirpoutine7522]

This is odd because what you're saying goes against every other commenter who claims to be Italian. Every comment I've read so far say no to sugar in the sauce and no to garlic..! But as a person that has traveled and lived in Italy, their food is just as nuanced as everyone elses and doesn't fit a specific mold.

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

@@vladimirpoutine7522 It's almost as if whenever a commenter goes "as an Italian let me show you how it's REALLY done" is full of shit because you'll get fist fights between street blocks on differences.

​@@THENAMEISQUICKMANit's not for that reason, the reason is that there are two types of pizza sauce in Italy, the classic margherita sauce which is without garlic and the marinara sauce, which instead has garlic and other herbs but in the US you mainly imported the marinara sauce

[@infedeous3250]

Mandatory annoying "as an Italian..." comment here. Jokes aside, both pizzas look soooo good, and having eaten some pies both in NY and Naples I'd say that they're really two sides of the same coin (although I personally prefer the Italian one by far, but that's individual taste). Putting garlic in the tomato sauce isn't really something that Italians do (except if you're making a marinara), but honestly it's such a minor thing that I imagine the end result to be basically the same. In the end, fantastic video as always Joshua!

[@ha-pe8jt]

Pie?

[@hoze8772]

Was about to comment the garlic in the tomato sauce haha, its supposed to be just hand crushed tomatoes and salt, not even blended, but that is optional, no olive oil or garlic, just salt.

[@ButteryAftertaste]

This was a great video as always! What it is oftentimes overlooked when you see one culture adopt and put their own spin on another culture's cuisine is that it is almost always influenced by the ingredients that are readily available. A good example here would have been the flour. I find it very unlikely that Italian-American immigrants would have had easy access to double zero flour when they came to the USA, and would have just used whatever flour was most readily and cheaply available. The flour that was available to them likely influenced what type of dough and eventually pizza they produced. In other words, you take what you have and try and make something out of it that is still delicious.

[@Kiizan_]

As an Italian, i don't know why people think in the sauce you need to put garlic when in reality it's just tomatoes and if anyone wants a little bit of origan, that's it. Garlic just accentuate too much the flavour in my opinion but i mean it is delicious non the less! Good job as always Josh!

Some corrections: - Italian pizza dough has olive oil in the dough. - Some pizza chefs do put some sort of sugar, but it's usually diastatic malt. - Usually, maturation goes from 24h to 3 days. - Italian pizza is cooked at least at 400° C, but usually more. 420° C it's usually the minimum. - We don't usually put garlic in the passata, just oil, some herbs, salt and pepper. Also, we don't drain the content of the can: the oven temperature is so high that we need the extra moisture.

[@Lykon]

Italian pizza dough has olive oil only if you need to make it in a low heat oven (forno di casa). The traditional one (forno a legna) needs no oil. And no respectable chef uses malt. That's just a cheap trick (like sugar anyway).

I am an Italian househusband to an American wife. Frankly when I cook I need to make plenty of adjustments because the quality of ingredients here is just not the same. Italian pizza, being simpler, with fewer ingredients, leans on the quality of the ingredients. Pretty much, you can't have an Italian pizza with Italian quality in America. You can enjoy the best approximation of it, which is still great. But having great ingredients sourced locally matters.

I could eat Neapolitan pizza everyday. 😋

[@felipec.santos4370]

And It's actually a pretty healthy pizza, the neapolitan Margherita, as far as a pizza can go concerning this.

[@Pianolino-]

​@@felipec.santos4370 i'm assuming that it's because instead of flavor (the charred garlic in the tomato sauce), American pizza uses sugar

In Poland we have got our version of pizza. There are many diferences, so we call it version differently - a pizda. You need to try it!

Actually, in the traditional Italian way they lay the dough balls to rest for about 16-24 hours.

[@muhammadnaveed3649]

Excellent

[@mariomejia3608]

Nice one Josh. The technique and steps are definitely a way to sti- up many many comments. Here mine: Every pizzaiolo knows: Napoletan OG or style: sauce: Only certified san marzano, salt , maybe a liitle of EVO (extra virgin olive oil) NO garlic for this one, you DO not blend the tomatoes. use a food mill for best sauce. Napoletan : is NOT the same shaping. Is all about recepie, fermentation, technique for the dough. How about the pull and slap technique ....?.Size of pie: 11-12 in pie. mozzarella have to be julienne about 5 cms thick. Awesome you elevated the cheese using buffalo mozzarella. basil do not need to be chop or cut . use 2-4 leaves whole .Olive oil before cooking is NOT optional is a must. you can also use some as a garnish and to finish it after cooking. specially if adding toppings post cooking. the oven ,yeah that ooni is great for home use. BTW half of the pizza needed a little more time to cook. more "leoparding". to be a true napoletan it must be cook within 90 secs at proper deck temp. BTW margherita DOES not have garlic as an ingredient so you F it there. Would have love to see you go a little more above and beyond for a proper napolitan dough: 16hr + fermentation (n depending of fermentation technique) and see the giggle and bubble structure in the dough. Napoletan is always a winner for taste, quality, nutrition and easier to digest due to fermentation process. Even SOME people that are gluten intolerant MAY be able to eat some true Napoletan pizza.

[@loca9412]

grazie joshua per aver portato un po' di orgoglio italiano ai tuoi viewers americani :)

[@weeptheblood]

Not many people know that Pizza was popularized by America in the 1950’s by Dominos and Pizza Hut, the two OG pizza restaurants. Before this, not many people had even heard of the word pizza, as it was an unpopular peasant dish up until then.

[@CandyCoated96]

Both look great tbh. Never been to Italy or New York. lol. Italians were brilliant with the pizza creation, and I've heard NYC has some of the best pizza in the world. Would love to try both. Thanks for sharing!

[@cosimopastia8389]

Hi Joshua, let me just say I really like what u do. Truly enjoyable. That being said, as italian, I do not understand why americans think we use so much garlic. Four cloves for so little tomatoes it's insane for us. Keep going and be well :)

[@luclapierre7621]

Intensity of garlic varies depending on where you get it. You need to use more if you're buying huge cloves from a big chain store vs normal-sized ones from a local farmer's market, for example.

[@LiefLayer]

@@luclapierre7621 we just don't use garlic in almost any pizza except for marinara. no reason to cover the taste of a great pizza with garlic at all.

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

stop pretending that because you wherever you live in Italy they don't make pizza like that in Italy it's literally the worst thing about your country how pretentious you are about your own style of pizza when you'll get into fistfights literally just between street blocks about what the "real" way to make pizza is. there is no "italian" pizza, there is only an approximation

[@alexbowman7330]

I can hear the Italian screams already... "Josh, you used dry yeast instead of fresh?! You added garlic to the San Marzano's?!" 😠 Haha. At least this could lead to a video collab with Vito. Wishful thinking? We shall see. You did a great job, Josh.

[@Cleanerantoine]

100% ahahaha

[@trophybuckle3235]

I was looking to see who would mention the garlic 😆😬

[@spwicks1980]

I can hear Vincenzo in Australia crying over the garlic in the neopolitan sauce :P Both look epic. I love all pizza, one of the best foods in existence

[@trontrekz]

Most don’t realize this but the traditional Italian pizza like this video is actual only the way pizza looks like in Naples. Pizza looks different all across Italy. For example Pizza in Southern Italy (specifically Bari) looks like the New York one but way thinner and almost no crust edge but the top is all mozzarella cheese.

[@Matfridt]

Can't name a style of pizza that I don't like. I love them all, a good pizza with quality ingredients is always gonna smack. Traditional Italian is my favorite, but all the various American styles are still great

[@sherrattpemberton6089]

It would be interesting to see how they compare with the New York pizza cooked in the woodfire oven with the itallian tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella, and the Neapolitan as is.

[@gtangari]

I'm Italian and I love Italian pizza but let me tell you that I love "American" pizzas too: NY style, Chicago style and Detroit style ... I would love to find those pizza in Europe too.

Sugar in tomato isnt a sin Some tomatos are just too acid for pizza sauce so yeah you put a bit of sugar in it

[@vishnumohan2363]

yup your spot on, once you learn the flavour triangle of salt-sweet-sour your food gets a whole lot better and more balanced

[@RedRisotto]

You can always use a grinder to remove seeds and skin - the bitter/acid bits with a food mill. However, for this purpose where perfect smoothness is not needed - nothing wrong with using a sweetener.

[@RedRisotto]

@Arturo Giampieri You can't tell the difference between San Marzano and tomatoes from a dumpster if you simmer it in to a pizza sauce with basil, garlic, hot peppers (oil) etc. Cold sauce - yes... Quick pasta sauce - yes...

[@RedRisotto]

@Arturo Giampieri You being butthurt... is not an opinion.

[@MissRedheadRapunzel]

Italian pizza is when I want to go on a date with someone and have a nice meal. New York pizza is when that pizza goes bad, I stay out at a bar for a little too long and need some comfort food on the way home. Both totally valid and comforting
