You Think Saverio Did I Good Job?

[@JonCausithONS]

He definitely benefited from the constructive criticism and the teaching! Well done from Saverio and Vito!

[@jducky3643]

you did a better job 🫡

[@offroadskater]

He did a good job. Still looked like a beaten dog, though. Poor guy.

Are you high bro

[@Elkycreates]

I’m not used to seeing humble head chefs like Saverio that are open to criticism so publicly. He will go a long way. Good on you Saverio👍👍

[@wyldeman7]

I own an Italian America restaurant and I would love for Vito to come school me. I'd show him my methods for grissini which we are known for. Maybe serve him a ribeye pizzaiola too.

[@zirzmokealot4600]

I think he was more confused than anything. He doesn't understand English. He did take what he did understand well though.

Just amazing to me that a slightly larger dough ball and an improved stretch made such a difference. I was taught at pizza school to do the slap method, but now I see why! Of course, I still have a long ways to go for making a pizza like Vito.

[@DH432hrtz]

I know right excellent episode. He nailed him on the dough not being the right weight also. Cheers Doug😎

[@omarhrnndz]

Much respect to the pizza chef he didn't feel insulted about your disagreement with the way he stretches his pizza dough and was more than happy to soak in the knowledge you gave him and was super positive about everything

[@Knulppage]

The man seemed slightly apprehensive at first, but at the end he seemed excited to have learned something new. The difference is unmistakable! I'm excited also to make some pizza.

[@mogbaba]

Saverio seems to be such a nice person. I like his smiling face and his willingness to make his craft better. I wish I could be there and eat his pizzas. Thank you for the upload Vito, besides your skills, you have a very nice approach to teaching, and not the least the way you composed this video is great. It is full of humor, nice people, and all that gives the viewer a nice time and more knowledge about the art of pizza making.

[@daveychainsaw961]

I was doing it the wrong way as well. Tried the technique you demonstrate and it was much easier and completely transformed by pizza - I now have a perfect crust and a consistent thickness on the base. Thanks so much Vito!

[@debbiededona4313]

Great job Saverio! So awesome to see people open to receiving suggestions on how to do something better or differently. He was a real trooper!

[@brandon_storar]

Shows how important technique is aswell as a good recipe. The person making it, is one of the ingredients.

[@matu4251]

Awesome video. I was half way there with my stretching but never fully satisfied with the results. The way it was presented in this video was eye opening and is giving me a lot to thing about and experiment with. Top notch content as always Maestro Iacopelli!

[@emmgeevideo]

No "air" is being pushed to the outside. The gluten structure was created during the hours of fermentation and all the air is strapped in the gluten pockets. No air will move from one part of the dough to another. Stretching Vito's way squeezes the gluten together more in the center and avoids squishing the edges, thus allowing that portion of the dough to have "oven lift". It's a great technique and I'm glad to learn it. But let's be factual about what happens.

[@TheMillionDollarDropout]

yES Yes!! I've been dabbling in Bread Making the past week and I already understood this too! I failed to see how Vito was "Pushing Air" into the crust. It just was the fact that he wasn't crushing all the gas pockets. That's it. :)

[@Apollo440]

You got it all wrong, can't you see the edges inflating? It's because of all the air!

[@emmgeevideo]

@@Apollo440 Dude, he compressed the dough the center by pushing and stretching and took care not to deflate the edges. There is no path for air to move from the center to the edges. This is because the gluten structure is doing what it is supposed to do -- make a web small pockets for the fermenting yeast to inflate.

[@Apollo440]

@@emmgeevideo dude, I'm busting your balls. You're right all the way! :D but I guess the wording is chosen like that for a reason: it's exactly why we say to kids, that storks bring newborn babies home. Maybe it's not scientifically correct, but it kinda works. So does saying that air is teleported through cell walls work for chef Vito. Maybe he got it from generations past and won't change it, never mind the science. That's how his parents told him, and their parents told them.

[@Cassiusisback]

@@emmgeevideo there also is no path for the air to go anywhere else. on top are his hands on bottom is marble. so the easiest way for the air to escape is to burst the pockets towards the sides and escape that direction. he actually is inflating the crust. also, since the outside layer of the dough is thicker than the inside bubbles, its more like a balloon filled with soap bubbles. bubbles pop into other bubbles until they accumulate in the crust...

[@inocenciotensygarcia1012]

I loved that you were able to teach him how to prepare the pizza from a-z, and he was willing and happy to learn. Thank you Vito. You are the best!.

[@bostonbesteats364]

This may be the most useful video you've ever done! Thank you

[@anoushka7022]

Thanks so much for this video. I literally have just made your next level dough, poolish yesterday, dough today, ready for pizza tomorrow. So this video is a huge help to stretch tomorrow!!! Great to learn the top must be at the top and press and pull the dough! Thanks. Hopefully my dough works tomorrow

[@johanekmanmusic]

Great video as always! I have always wanted to learn how to make great pizzas at home, and since i discovered your channel Vito the pizzas has gone better and better! Always learning and improving, and seeing this really shows the difference how to work the dough and where to keep on practicing. Always using your "2021 pizza dough for the house" and it´s so good! Big thank you!!

[@icecaream]

Grande Vito! An absolute role model and a huge bravo to Saverio for being open for some advice.

[@dannypardo187]

Love this format of troubleshooting actual pizza operations. Super interesting and helpful!!

[@cubitme]

I have been making this over 8 pizzas over a period of a year. This is my issue, the crusts were doughy. Now I know what to focus on. Thank you Vito. This should be a good series of video to produce helping out restaurants who are willing to learn and spot the mistake which are very common at household too

[@BM-sh9lm]

Yesterday I made the best Neapolitan pizza ever, but I still have a lot to learn and evolve. Thank you Vito, your recipes and tips are fantastic.

[@pepetheawesome9410]

Not only did he immediately improve with the right guidance but, the fact that all he had to change was the stretching shows that he is working with and making good quality ingredients. Well done!

[@karls8586]

Just had friends over for a pizza dinner, and found it so funny when one of the guests mentioned how he loved that it was "so thin in the middle, yet so puffy, soft and crunchy on the crust". I was like; "That's what I'm talking about!" Thumbs up all around Vito. Your recipe is a homerun 😎

[@Mr.Helper.]

Amazing difference and great to see a chef that is open to learning rather than thinking they know it all. Great job gents.

[@flit6849]

Saverio nailed it! 🎉 Great job, and good man for being so open to criticism to improve his technique and most importantly his restaurant’s pizza!

[@fishtailfred8686]

Excellent Video! Saverio makes a beautiful symmetric pizza but I agree that more air in the crust is better. I have accidentally made dough like Vito suggests a few times and it is excellent, but I don't know how make it consistantly, now I know what to do.

[@beardown2489]

Props to this young pizza man on his ability to take direct criticism and not get offended. Vito was very blunt and direct about what errors he found in the restaurants process. Not easy to hear criticism delivered so directly sometimes

[@DH432hrtz]

Chef your an amazing teacher. To the point, no yelling, solutions. I can't wait to come Italy. I followed you for a awhile and this is A really cool channel

[@mattmugridge8839]

I sort of glaze over these days with some of Vitto’s videos, but this one was easily one of the most fascinating and useful to me. Grazie Vitto

Wonderful!!! All I see here is someone who wants all to thrive. Vito always does these things with love and openness. Each one teach one, lift one up. So beautiful.

Yaay I'm so proud! I saw his mistakes before they were pointed out 😁 Vito is THE best instructor. I've learned so much from him.🙏🙏🙏

[@AQuirozR]

It seemed already like a good pizza, but with the change in the way of stretching, the difference was huge. Good job for Saveiro, for being humble and a really fast learner, think his pizza place is going to improve in sales. Good for them 👏👏👏👏

[@ultratux2000]

I totally underestimated the impact of stretching it properly. Figured my dough was of random quality but now I suppose, I don’t stretch consistently well. Thanks Vito!!

[@toddlanis9978]

Thanks Vito! I've been having this exact issue! I recall you mentioning "which side is up" for Neapolitan, but I could not remember where and scoured for hours trying to find it. I think it was with your dad where you were comparing Neapolitan style vs Bari style. Also, I've really been struggling to get my crusts with the big open crumb like you have and thought it was an issue with the dough, not my technique. I continue to practice and hopefully will get it soon! After years of watching your videos, I'm finally opening up a pizza food truck this summer! I have a herd of water buffalo too and hope to put mozzarella di bufala on my pizzas in the next year or two also. Grazie a mille! Stai bene bello! Non posso per mi a fare solo un cose, sempre faccio tante cose... fattoria, pizzeria, latteria anche productti di maile (pero solo per io e famalia, non per vendare). Forse un giorno incontriamo. p.s. my pizza is better than my Italian! :)

[@damonke1174]

Good luck with your business Todd!

[@Apollo440]

fantastico! good luck. The right side up is the same side the doughball was in the container. Also - don't go for expensive ingredients until you "make it". Good business is low cost and smart technique. Furthermore, fior di latte tastes better to many people, not all understand the taste of buffallo mozz.

[@Apollo440]

@@leafster1337 "both" isn't always the option. At first, when you open a business, the sales are not "up there" and there is a lot of spoilage. If your ingredients are expensive - you are more likely to go out of business like that. What I wanted to say, is that getting the technique right allows you to invest less in ingredients.

Another great video. I'm surprised I never saw this one! Everyone wanting to make Neapolitan pizzas should see this.
