World Champion Pizza Chef Reacts to Adam Ragusea Neapolitan Pizza

My friend Johnny is back on the attack in this new video, this time the victim is Adam Ragusea with his "Pizza Napoletana" recipe. In my opinion, Adam's is certainly not a real Neapolitan pizza but still looks good. Let's find out what the World Pizza Champion thinks about it!

I really enjoy Johnny not only explaining the proper techniques, but why & the science behind it. Also, he's the first Italian I've ever heard speak English with an Australian accent 😁

[@vincenzosplate]

Johnny is a Pro and you can really feel all the passion he puts in his job!

[@navneethgopal1211]

I thought He sounded Brooklyn

[@markhamstra1083]

He’s not always completely correct, though. For example, his insistence on 00 flour. Primarily, 00 designates the fineness of the milling of the wheat, with 00 being very fine. You can, however, buy 00 flour (even from the same King Arthur Baking Company that Adam used) that is properly milled to this fineness standard, but that still isn’t what Johnny wants. That is because the type of wheat used matters at least as much if not more than the fineness of the flour if you want pizza dough made exactly like in Naples. The Italian flour is made from soft durum wheat, while most flour in North America (including some flour labeled “00”) is made from hard red wheat. So, Johnny is only partially correct: If you want to exactly duplicate pizza dough made in Naples, then you need to use finely milled, durum wheat flour, whether it is labeled “00” or not. Now, whether or not exactly duplicating Neapolitan pizza is the one and only true measure of pizza-making success is another issue entirely. And if you want the actual science on pizza dough instead of a mixture of science and received “chef’s knowledge”, then invest in the Modernist Cuisine books: five volumes on Bread and three volumes on Pizza.

The thing I like about Adam is that he isn’t pretentious or call himself this or that, it’s just a curious guy who likes to cook and it’s really honest about that, like “here’s what I know, that’s what I’ve learned in a research, and this is what I could do”. He knows that he doesn’t make traditional recipes, it’s an reinterpretation with his personal taste. I got no problem with that. Also Vincenzo and Johnny are just making an entertaining content with information, sense of humor and respecting the man. I liked it.

That's really educational. I was actually wondering why I never was getting good yellow-ish crust on my baked food, covering it in oil/egg yolk is mostly cheating after all. Now I learned. I might've put way too much yeast, while going according to a recipe. Sounds like this is why it might bake into a much more anemic white color. I'm telling you, so many recipes and cooking videos on KZbin, no one mentions those small elements and basics a newcomer actually needs to learn.

[@catpyjamas]

I think it's fair to call it Napolitan since that's what he's going for with what he has. Most of us don't have all the right ingredients to make a 100% authentic Napolitan pizza, so we do what we can with the poor man's version. Calling it Napolitan, while it might not actually be exactly that, the person you're presenting it to immediately knows what you're going for. So in terms of communication, I think it's fair. Just that the person should maybe have a disclaimer that, look, we're trying to do a Napolitan pizza without having everything required. So we end up with something as close as possible given these ingredients.

[@vincenzosplate]

You're so right, amico! 🍕😄 It's like a pizza language of its own! 🗣️🍕 We'll have fun reacting to these pizza adventures! 🤪🎉 Grazie for the support! 🙏🇮🇹

@@jaihalai7674 yeah true he should've called it neapolitan style or something like that instead of just neapolitan

[@Spinelli__]

@@jaihalai7674 It wasn't just letting the dough mature longer, it was way too much yeast, way too much sugar, destroying the sauce, not getting a proper cornicione, cooking it at too low temp, and cooking it too long, and I probably missed some things too. It's not Napolitano style pizza. It's even easy to tell by just looking at it. It can be called Napolitano style "inspired" pizza. What he made is still awesome and better than the majority of crap pizza out there so he deserves respect.

[@matt895816]

Thanks for the video Vincenzo. Ive learnt so much from watching these videos, especially Johnnys. I can put out one pizza fine, but now need to work on multiple pizzas to feed the family. Time management and cooking technique. For example where to place the stone in the oven to maximise heat? Can you use multiple stones or will you lose too much heat? I'm yet to find a video showing how to do that. Everyone just pumps out one Margherita and calls it a day. So far i have tried par cooking all the bases, then switching the oven to grill mode, then adding the toppings and finishing under the grill. Would be curious to see your take on cooking a large amount of pizzas, and how you would manage time and what cooking method you would use. Thanks for the great content!!

I guess Adam should have titled the video "Neapolitan pizza for newbies", as that's the best way to describe his non-traditional way of cooking here. Adam said in a previous pizza video that he does have an electric mixer, but he prefers to not use it in his recipe videos due to him not wanting it to look like you need pricey kitchen gadgets to cook for most people.

Johnny brings a gem of information, please get him on video as often as you can and thank you Vincenzo. This is the first time I hear of Stg. I suppose no salt is allowed in the sauce. However, it seems like AVPN regulations allow it, if the following is accurate: As stated by AVPN; “For 1 kg of peeled Tomatoes the amount of Salt to add is 10-12 g, which is about 2 tsp of Sea Salt. In the case of the S. Marzano tomato, which is already a more savory product. The amount to be added is about 7-10 g per kg. or about 0.7 - 1 %. “

This chef is a pretentious man literally his first criticism is that Adam isn’t using double 00 flour. Double 00 flour is indicative of its grain size so how fine it’s milled. Bread flour can be double 00 because bread flour is indicative of the protein content inside the flour. If your going to correct someone at least tell the correct information. This is why I like Adam because he explains WHY things work instead of exclaiming things work.

as an Italian, I must say that using Bread Flour "00" is okey, but also Bread Flour "0" is fine too... I usually use the "0" Type. for the yeast, I usually use beer yeast, 50gr, a bit of extra vergin oil, a pinch of salt and warm water quanto basta... I let it raise for a couple of hours and divide it into 4 pieces and freeze it.

To be clear here: if you cook your pizza in a normal oven that can't reach 400-440°C you HAVE to oil the crust. They are always sayinmg "no no no no" but they forgot we have ovens that only goes to 280-300°C

I wish they would do a whole segment on this, but the Italians are (rightly) obsessive over the term "digestible" which is mostly about being light and soft and fully hydrated, and that's partly why they are horrified by NY and similar style pizza. Hard crust and browned cheese is less digestible than the delicate crusts and super fresh milky cheeses typical in Italy. Thus the extra thirst. The Italian bakers (and French, IMO) don't use super high protein flours. They like certain wheats -- mostly Italian, but some Manitoba wheat in some special cases, and some "Desert Durum" from the US Southwest (though that's often for pasta). They prefer 'sourdough' but also use some fresh cake yeast for commercial operations. They let the dough ferment/rise slowly, which allows it to hydrate fully, and that is much of what makes the result more delicate and digestible. If they use a lot of yeast, it rises and collapses before the starches and proteins fully hydrate and before fermentation helps pre-digest it. Then, our body says "wow, that's kinda dry and over-cooked and not quite ready -- I need some water and to slow down."

Here is the book I read on the topic: "Neapolitan Pizza, The: A Scientific Guide About the Artisanal Process" by Masi, Romano, and Coccia.

Vincenzo, this is a pizza of Naples (Napoli), Florida! That is the reason why he is doing it like this.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 in the USA they are even trying to copy Emmentaler cheese… they are the biggest copy cats. It must go wrong. You should send the recipe how to make the dough… Thank you very much, Vincenzo and Johnny, for sharing your wonderful reaction video with us.

IMO, Adam optimizes his recipes for convenience, and makes that clear in his video. It still was a very helpful video for me, while researching and developing my own pizza recipes. Even in this video he calls out when he's deliberately straying from tradition, and what I like about it is that he explains the reasons for it. I think this is where the commentary from Vincenzo and Johnny is best, because they offer a different perspective and reasoning for certain decisions. I usually try to chase a more NY style, because I prefer my pizza to maximize crispiness. Through recent videos and iterations, I've switched to a blended uncooked tomato sauce with garlic and salt. But I'm considering maybe not blending the tomatoes to see how it turns out. But the counterpoint, is that I don't like my sauce to have a lot of texture, I want it to be puree. It's an endless experiment! But the upside is I get to have a pizza every day!

[@mukkaar]

If you want garlic flavor for sauce, I would recommend dropping couple crushed garlic cloves into the tomatoes day before, I use about 3-4 in 400g can, then fish them out before use. You get nice garlic flavor without the overpowering harsh notes. Crushed as in using your hand to crush them a bit so they release their flavor, but so that it still stays whole. When I make my casual pizza, one with lesser quality ingredients. I usually blend whole canned tomatoes, then add salt and the garlic. I do this same time I do my pizza dough, day before. Though, other option would be to do herb/garlic infused extra virgin olive oil. But honestly if you want to make best out of your tomatoes and use them as puree, use food mill. Hand cranked ones are really good and not that expensive.

I'd make Neapolitan pizza and upload a video just to watch Johnny laughing his ass off over my mistakes

[@vincenzosplate]

Haha! That sounds like a legendary pizza fail! I can already picture Johnny's reaction! 😂🍕 Keep the laughter coming!

[@s3uoq]

Absolutely love your work Vincenzo and no doubt Johnny is a world champion at Napoletana pizza. After discovering him through your videos and realising he is Melbourne based and has one of his restaurants within kms of me I quickly went to his website to see the menu and potentially organise a visit. I have to admit though that I was gobsmacked to see Pancetta instead of Guanciale for the Carbonara dish. PLEASE, please tell him regardless of cost, to use Guanciale instead and I'm sure people would be happy to pay the little extra to have that dish as it was intended...❤🇮🇪food

[@vincenzosplate]

All the dough structure was wrong 🙅🏻‍♂️

[@devil88bg62]

I think the bigger mistake is cooking pizza at 350°. I cook at 350 when I want a new york style more crunchy etc and is good because I like to change and do different pizza style, play with temperature etc. If you prefer at 350 nothing wrong with that, just don't call it Napoletana because it is not. At 75% you should cook at around 400, 420 otherwise the water won't evaporate and will become chewy.
