Obsessives - Pizza

[@RennKurusu]

I watched this way back when I was in high school, and I was reminded of this guy when I saw him on Billions some days ago. Good to see this guy getting recognition

[@SwissMarksman]

Is he still open tough? I hope so..

[@epistemologicaldespair68]

I’ve been obsessed with baking lately, and specifically with making a pizza better than what I can get at my local ‘Italian’ pizza shop. My last 3 pizzas have hit that mark and I am working with limited tools. I lost my pizza stone in a move so I’m baking on the underside of a square sheet. I’ve got a long way to go but man it’s rewarding biting into a slice I made and it tastes better than almost any other pizza I’ve ever had

[@noobsaibot5285]

I watched this years ago and have tried find it again. Great looking pizza

[@FrankAbyss]

I would rather buy a pie from someone who is highly opinionated about his trade. It shows that he cares about the slightest detail. That always makes for good eats!

[@nmac121]

This is extremely raw and inspiring. "Its not done with anything but love...and a little bit of anger" -aint that the truth.

[@charlesluongo3778]

If you really want to piss this guy off and give him a heart attack, go in sit down, order a pizza and when hey brings it over to your table pull out a giant bottle of RANCH DRESSING and douse the entire pizza in it. Please have your camera phones ready.

[@Spookyaki1]

Charles Luongo lolol

[@callanklimts]

I like him. Takes it seriously and doesn't think he has the best, he looks at his pizza as always improving. Great attitude. Id pay his prices.. its more than recipe, he puts his soul into it.

[@Blokheadz]

oh my gosh i love his perfection to making pizza.. now thats what i like to hear.. straight from Italy he's getting the cheese. and pizza is one of my favorite all time foods.. and im picky about it..but man i wish there's a good pizza shop in my area.

[@eddwarddhenson2870]

i live in boulder and would recomend (no offense to the denver one but its not true napolitana) pizzeria locale. all flown in from italy too(oven hand made and shipped in) soooo good

[@rmota103]

Congrats on the award for the best pizza Anthony!

[@elhornet7854]

I really like this dude and I want some of what he's pushin'. No bs, just someone who gives 110%.

[@Dr.PsySwiss]

Loved to watch this interview. He's a purist and he's honest. Very very good.

[@BrazillianFOsho]

I fucking love this guy. He reminds me of how passionate I get about things

[@RadioNul]

You can see how his pizzas are even better now than they were then. Constant improvement. Respect.

[@joes.2788]

Very candid and honest interview. Anthony really understands what it's about and opposed to those who put fucking pineapple on their pizza. I don't think he was being an arsehole at all, like Lucas said. Great interview and insight.

[@redhaiku]

I love that every time they give him a question, etc... they show him in the black and white with his mouth open.

[@jslbrt]

I think you're confusing his clear passion for ego, guys. I would kill to have a pizza made by this guy in this oven.

[@albertolorusso]

all he says is true. He just forgot to mention long fermentation of the dough.

[@markpianoman]

Right on!!! We have a couple young guys here in Honolulu who have started an outdoor "restaurant" where they serve wood-fired pizzas from their oven pulled on a trailer. The pizza is the best in Honolulu!

[@ricklude]

This guy has attitude. . . . a great attitude about a favorite food of most everyone. I'd love to try one of his pies.

[@picvan]

I usually hate people that are super stuck up, but I like him because the reason he is stuck up is because he loves it so much.

[@jamescooper2110]

oh man, a classic Margherita hits the spot every time

[@JDAnatnom]

This pizzeria produces some of the most authentic and high quality pizza you'll find. It's expensive yes, but I guarantee it tastes better than any pizza you've ever had.

[@XTheSonofTheSunX]

major respect for this guy, i would be honored to eat one of his pizzas. cheers

[@oscillation1]

This is terrific. If he keeps this business model and perseveres through what would have to be a very difficult and monotonous one-man-show, he's bound to become something of a legend who will redefine the American pizza paradigm. I'm half tempted to help with the matter by copying his model in my own city. Problem is, I don't have nearly as much experience and skill. Sure, I've been making handmade pizza dough for myself and friends/family for at least the last decade. That

[@Kamohawk22]

this guy is making art his vision about pizza is pure excellence hats off to him

[@jwhat01]

That dude is doing it right. He is making pizza an art instead of a job. A way of living. Very cool. Would love to have some.

[@lolloxor]

It's always nice to see guys with true passion.

[@ThePugnitopo]

100% correct. He's the first american I've met that knows something about real neapolitan pizza. Good job.

[@Sbeth85]

Love this guy!! He's so surly and obsessive... He actually gives a shit about pizza. Refreshing to see.

[@toneloak]

Oh god he's out of control! I love this guy.

[@mrsillywalk]

A hundred times i have walked out the door to get something to eat that someone else has made.On the way there i now laugh at myself and return home to make the best food i have ever tasted.

[@rainwaterd]

I agree with only using four or less ingredients. I make awesome pizza at home.......when the crust is right, fermented at least 24 hours, and sometimes 48 hours is better......too many ingredients takes away from the crispy, bubbly, tender crust that has developed flavor with the long fermentation period. I make pizza every weekend when I'm not working, and I start the pizza crust the day before.....I get hungry just thinking about my pizza....I would love to try this fellow's pizza.

[@FLASH2394]

he's not selling his attitude. he's selling his pizza and his pizza is great and he has true passion for his craft. thats what sells. dont tell someone who is already running a successful business how to run a successful business, especially when you clearly dont know anything about business.

[@vircabutar]

I couldn't even process what he said for the rest of the video after he said that no pizzeria in NY is good. ..... Is this guy forreals?! Are you kidding me? I'm just speechless

[@JoeBlunt]

this guy is obsessed with Naples

[@satori-in-life]

+KennyHasGadgets True, buts that's because it's where Pizza is from originally.

[@raffaeleirlanda6966]

KennyKartel Yes he is obsessed ad long as Naples is the Touchstone to judge all pizze in the world. Unfortunately he is convinced being a pizza maker in Naples is a peak job, that is really absolutely far from the reality. Being a pizza maker in Naples is terribile job as you must stay near a oven almost all year long. This is good in winter, but in summer is really a risky job as you risk literally to faint because you can't use air conditioning or it will alter micro-climate of ingredients. Also being a pizza maker in Naples is often underpaid job as there are many competitors who could steal your job asking the pizzeria owner less money for the salary. 😧😨🤔

[@cheesesam]

Super psyched to hear that he's opening up his new place here in San Francisco ! Bring it on, Anthony !!

[@mikequity]

He's set up shop in San Francisco now, doing very well: His place is exactly the same, basically 3 people and an oven

[@JarradDRS]

This man is an artisan. If more were like him, there would be fewer dullards.

[@tito.tarantula]

Who's THEY?! 😂

[@stooge81]

i love this dude. and i bet i'd love his pizza. it's all about the ingredients.

[@PanosMavromytis]

And that's the way it should be! well done.

[@jonathanedwards6366]

Definitely a Pizza Purist. Dedicated to the Pizza Napoletano.....beautiful.

[@kimpeater1]

I live in NYC and I went to look for Una Pizza Napoletana but they seem to have closed :(

[@typsom]

+Peter K I think he moved to California

[@jamescrompton243]

+Fredde jpg thanks for the input bro sf is in cali you dunce

[@typsom]

+James Crompton okay.... You know that Una was located in NJ then NYC right? And peter said he lives in NYC and went to look for it? And in this video, Anthony Mangieri talks about other pizza places in NYC... BECAUSE AT THE TIME UNA WAS IN NYC so he was clearly asking about Una being closed in NYC No one is out here asking if SF is in CA, everyone knows that. So who's the dunce? not you because you're actually a fucking dumbass lmao have a seat

[@typsom]

James Crompton my input answered why he wasnt in nyc anymore. seriously, the worst kind of dumbass is the kind that doesn't know he's a dumbass. stop talking lol

[@typsom]

James Crompton holy fucking shit I was talking to the OP not YOU "I live in NYC and I went to look for Una Pizza Napoletana but they seem to have closed" "I live in NYC and I went to look for Una" "I live in NYC" can you not read? or are you convinced everyone is talking to you specifically on youtube? You're such a dumbass

[@kparker1145]

Simple Sophistication!

[@sean9820]

His last name is very close to "Eat" in italian. "Mangiare" is italian for eating/to eat : )

[@claredelune]

this guy is intense! he's pretty awesome!

[@frontburner30324]

Refreshing!

[@Chizu2]

every time i watch a Obsessive vid, it makes me crave the stuff

[@ecelis911911]

A true artist. Probably gets frustrated with many of his customers asking for pepperoni, anchovies ham and pineapple...

[@playalistic1]

Glad for his success & seeing him on "Billions"

[@rego00001]

Don't hate this is real pizza.

[@djesta]

those pizzas look great! i love it when someone has such passion for real good food. how nutritionally beneficial are pizzas though?

[@midcitygym]

Love this guy, a true Artisan, inspiring stuff.

[@hidingzeus4306]

I thought he came across as completely and incredibly passionate about his craft.

[@superfest18]

understand your point... but it dosnt matter where you come from, hospitality is hospitality and you must always respect your customers

[@ballerstew]

why would you not? He is doing all that so YOU can enjoy a good pizza... its called passion.. obviously you have none for nothing.

[@whitetornadodk]

i love the obsessives series =)

[@BedlamsBluff]

I watch this video each and every time i eat pizza. It's become a tradition.

[@graphene1487]

You must write a book. We would read it.

[@chri8067]

I agree with him about being better off making your own pizza at home than buying from a pizzeria.

[@polingJames12]

Because he's making the point that that's not really even pizza if you bastardize it with extra toppings. He's a purist and I can respect that.

[@Ahkmedren]

I really would like to visit this place some day! This guy rules

[@writereducator]

I've been making two pizzas a week for 5 years. I'm still a baby pizza maker.

[@2dayfun]

you just opened your video with Pentangle (Renbourn or Jansch) - wow! nice oven too

[@rothkoaintdead]

respect to this man

[@mena_pila]

he is not rude, he is just full of himself

[@MrHoodey]

this guy is so right! i hate restaurants that have a million options but nothing tastes right! i mean who is complaining if you have a one page menue?

[@tim73639]

love this guy

[@skyblueerik]

His pizzas cost $25. They could be the best in the world but seriously, that's nuts.

[@alfredoprice9665]

A pizza from pizza hut is like $15, $10 more for a better quality pizza is not that expensive.

[@efeezy619]

Curtis IMO the best commercial brand pizza is Round Table and the price for a large is about 20-25 dollars and they are always busy. You get what you pay for. Good pizza is worth it,

[@SeatherineJent]

Have you tried it?

[@mjcorcoran84]

this guys my hero

[@sheslostcontrol24]

Pizza is serious business. As it should be.

[@estebansteverincon7117]

It's a pizza...relax.

[@aegisgfx]

+Esteban Rincon Seriously I would tie this guy up, get frozen pizzas from the grocery store and half cook it in the microwave, then make him eat 50 of them till he exploded.

[@estebansteverincon7117]

I would too. LOL

[@Vaughnlesterinoz]

Haha, my dad has been building pizza ovens for about 18 years now. And we make our own pizzas. It certainly is the way to do it if you want good pizza. Infact right now as I type this I'm looking out the window at the pizza oven.

[@MultiAwsome8]

Food Is Life!

[@Fean9rz]

This guy is the best!

[@equalitynoww]

He had the best pizza in ny, now keste takes the crown

[@ChaChaDave]

Hi. I really appreciate this video..I Love the oven. I love the look of the pizza's. Beautifully rustic. Yum!

[@mattone]

the point is to make you hungry as hell, it's working >.>

[@bones549]

Hey, he's a new yorker. I also get where he's coming from. I have loved pizza since i was a kid. I make a good pizza and last year got to go to Italy. I had the best pizza in my life there. Simple, buffala, san marzano, basil, and a little oil. Simple and the the best. I will build my own oven this summer. If you think papa johns is good pie, you just wouldn't understand. Keep the passion man! BTW i'm an old country boy and don't mind the attitude at all!

[@MrDeshrine]

He definitely know his pizza.

[@danielbrowniel]

worked at a pizzeria for 5 years, the best pizza ever made in that place was off the menu and with ingredients from vegetable stands in town, also Provolone on pizza is very good (just don't eat too much of it)

[@slrw82]

Nailed - the Dr. Gregory House of pizza!

[@Piwork69]

Was this guy on the radio? I heard an interview on the radio with a guy who is into wood burning ovens. It was on NPR station.

[@TubeDeviant]

All of those pizzas sound and look good, but I still love Panago's New York Deli and Primo vegetarian!

[@equalitynoww]

dude, you don't know till youve been there

[@goldsilverandiamonds]

I just love when pompous hipsters find their calling.

[@carlrs15]

goldsilverandiamonds I think you mean 'their,' fancy pants

[@ocelotxp]

+goldsilverandiamonds I just love when people just throw around the word hipster... if anything, he's an elitist... but, hey, pizza is fucking worth it

[@goldsilverandiamonds]

ocelotxp Glad you love it....douche.

[@MyWisdomTeethHurt]

He isn't kidding about the "anger"

[@Towert7]

Cool discussion.

[@VitalSyntax]

My favorite delivery pizza is by far the new Dominos, but my favorite pizza chain in Racanelli's, wish they had them here in Washington

[@Minastir1]

this guy is Gordon Ramsay of pizzamakers :)

[@advancetotabletop5328]

The Japanese have an entire culture of food that's simple but not simple to make. And you're not there for the chef. You're there for the food.

[@TheFluffyWendigo]

I love how this guy is covered in ink. Rock on dude

[@stealthypirate318]

EVERYONE SUCKS EXCEPT FOR ME!

[@Alex-dc3xp]

lol

[@nubnub75]

RESPECT!

[@alfonso986]

Yeah,for the first time i see a worker in u.s.a. That make the original pizza napoletana. Is very difficult to understand the real way to do it,but he does ! I'm from Mondragone ,one of the most important place for the buffalo's mozzarella in Campania and i know that.

[@subcoolfl]

The only good pizza shops to go to are the ones where you get yelled at.

[@davy1972]

The Dr. House of pizza making.

[@herseyodun]

you know what you speaking about bro i just started baking pizza with a brick owen and there is a lot to learn...

[@ceadeses]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!

[@trinitaterion]

no, if we had the standards this guy has in the art world, probably contemporary artists would start doing art instead of crap
