THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER PIZZA SLICE IN NYC | F*CK THAT'S DELICIOUS

We are in the golden age of pizza, and Chrissy's Pizza is proof of that. In this episode, Action Bronson gets a rare glimpse of what is destined to become one of the most sought-after slices in New York City. Chrissy, aka Chris Hansell, cooked up several pies for Action to taste alongside several bottles of wine. By they end of the night, Action and Chris got to the bottom of what made the slices of their youth taste the way they did. Enjoy.

This show just needs to be 30 minutes long. Let’s all be honest, 10 min isn’t long enough.

just like the old EP’s of FTD on Vice channel

You think about it if you watch the old episodes on KZbin/Hulu without commercials they’re like 20 minutes long . The commercials add the extra 10 .. and this one was 13 🤷🏼‍♂️

Honestly, id rather eat these pizzas in that apt from that crappy oven any day than a proper restaurant. There is something more perfect that happens from the "imperfection". Keepin it real, that's the best.

[@barryholiday8998]

The most punk people are usually the least conspicuous and the most unassuming. This guy seems cool af and the pizza looked amazing. This should be a good lesson for people that think they need to buy a bunch of expensive stuff to start creating something. Bronson, appreciate how you do your part to bring positivity and light into this world.

[@jonathanhopper2026]

I was just discussing this with someone the other day. Spoke of two mutual friends who dress the part of what punk once was, but they are establishment boot-lickers, who think going to a concert, getting covered in tattoos, and wearing a leatherjacket and Doc Martins makes them punk. Meanwhile, I know suit and tie guys who are in the underground music scene, hit skate parks, and get arrested for what they believe in, who are 100x more punk than those who simply boguth the starter kit. This guy is punk, because he does what he loves and does it his way. And Hell, doing anything for the benefit of others (even if you get paid) is the most punk thing to do in 2023.

[@kindablue1959]

Nothing compares to the pizza I ate as a kid in the 60s and 70s at Baldwin Pizzeria in New Jersey. The crunch and taste and oil dripping experience is forever etched into my soul. Slices were 25c each, and I often ate 2-3 of them after doing my paper route.

I live in an apartment in northeast Arkansas and my landlord recently installed a new stove for me. It is the same Amana stove that he has. It is the least expensive model that Amana makes but I feel much better about it now. I wish I could make pizza like he does but the stove is only one small part of the process.

oh man, so glad Bronson is back, I've had a horrible few days trying to get to sleep on a positive vibe. These videos always make me smile.

[@AlokSomani]

Biggest tips I can give for trying to get pizza of this texture at home are: make your dough the day before, get your oven SUPER hot (we pre-heat our cast iron in there for an hour at 475 before putting the pizzas in), bake on the bottom rack if you're using pre-heated cast iron or stone, and learn how to transfer to and from your cast iron/stone. We prefer cast iron because it carries the heat better through multiple pizzas, I think. We do the transfer onto the cast iron outside of the oven because we are not experts and don't want to make our oven messy, but some might find it easier to use a peel and do it inside the oven because it's hard to handle the searingly hot, heavy cast iron. And don't burn yourself. You might not be used to the oven being that hot. A slight touch of anything is a nice burn.

[@jamesconlon2701]

Same process, but I think the dough is best 3-5 days in the fridge. Let it out at room temp for 3h before making pies. I bake on top rack on 1/2” baking steel, broiler on for first 2 minutes, 2.5 minutes more broiler off. Leopard spotted crust, a little more flop than this video but crispy and chewy. Definitely practice the slide transfer off a wooden peel with a good dusting of semolina. The key is to top the pizza quickly. You won’t make a mess as long as the pie doesn’t stick to the peel and this keeps all your precious heat in the oven. But as always do it as you prefer, keep experimenting and challenging yourself, this is just my process. Enjoy the journey friend.

[@josephengle3917]

Glad I seen this episode I just watched a video of someone doing a one bite in front of his new spot and he didn't want to do video interview with them, but someone mentioned seeing Action doing this one, cool dude glad we got to meet the guy who created such ah great looking pizza.

Its as though we were invited into this man's home and were offered to share a pie with him. Spectacular.
