World Champion Pizza Chef Reacts to Joshua Weissman Neapolitan Pizza

For this reaction video I have my dearest friend Johnny, who's the World Best pizza chef, to help me, and he really knows about pizza!
Johnny was disappointed in so many points about Joshua's recipe, and he definitely didn't make Neapolitan pizza, but the end result looked really good! So I'd say Joshua did a good job, but he definitely needs to perfect his recipe!

[@the.bronze]

Yes please Vincenzo. And Johnny too for that matter. I know you are both very busy guys, yet more Johnny tips on the art of artisan pizza creation would be greatly appreciated. For example the correct type; the way to prep; and place the mozzarella would be very insightful. I’ve got a home outdoor pizza over since a year or so, played with it a few times, yet would love to learn tips from a master - I’m a Melbourne boy thru and thru after all. Albeit currently living in Europe. And please Vincenzo. Some day..maybe when back in Rome, cook me and post a video of a seldom but amazing Roman pasta - Rigatoni con la pajata. I actually had to find a “pasta Nonna” to cook me this dish in Rome - pasta on another level I have to say…. Twas a little outside of Rome in a very small home cooked kitchen. Over to you Vincenzo!!!

[@kdub175]

yes, review Vito Iacopelli Johnny has conflicting practices with Vito actually and even if you did it solo would be awesome. I think he’s the real deal, an even if you agree, spreading awareness of him so more people know how to find authentic recipes. he’s really fun to watch too.

I've been really surprised to find that literally just San Marzano tomatoes and a little bit of salt makes a great pizza sauce all by itself. It's even what all the best New York style pizza places do - literally just high quality canned tomatoes and salt. What surprised me is Josh's sauce looks a lot wetter than my sauce, even though he squeezed out the flesh, blended it, and cooked it down (none of which I do). Kirkland's D.O.P. San Marzano's are no joke.

Calabrese here, the only thing I can say about making genuine pizza style is this, respect the ingredients and keep it simple, its the only way to be authentic. Nothing wrong with creating food the way you want,it’s absolutely what cooking is about, but when you try to recreate a classic…make it the way its meant to be made.

Thank you for sharing this video! I got into cooking a few years ago, and pizza-making is a skill that I have always wanted to perfect since I first started watching videos about it. There are hundreds of Tik Toks, KZbin videos, and books that have introduced me, as well as thousands of individuals, to basic pizza-making, but this video provides information that dives much deeper into the trenches of cooking and baking. It reminds me that pizza-making is still an art form even though it has been tossed around and interpreted differently for decades. I absolutely love Joshua Weissman because I have developed so much trust in his recipes and their authenticity; nevertheless, I understand that even he can make mistakes. It was fun watching you react to this video because you were learning new things about Neapolitan pizza-making while reacting to it; it showed me that it's okay to not know everything, but it's important to learn from the correct sources. I also learned new things about pizza-making that I didn't know before.

Wonderful video. I have learned more from Johnny's Neapolitan pizza video on your channel than from anywhere else. Your channel is great in guiding people in the right direction. My video suggestion is for Johnny to react to Vito making Neapolitan pizza. Although I think that Vito does a good job, every time that I see him use too much yeast, I remind myself of Johnny. He also often uses olive oil on the outside of the dough ball, and for homemade pizza, he puts some in the inside of the dough. It seems like Johnny does not approve of 70% high hydration that Vito uses. Not to create controversy with Vito, but Johnny can be even more helpful there.

I was taught by a man named Toton, he had one of the first if not the first pizzaria in New York. Coney Island on Neptune next to the Italian bakery. He taught me the dough and sauce, 3 Marizanos no skin and seeded and no salt. Buffalo and the water is different back east. He was a very cool guy, worked Friday through Sunday. Opened at noon and by 2 the limos were lined up and when he was out of dough that was it. He loved the horses...and never wanted to have kids and condemn them to Making pies. His hand was mishapened from making so many pizzas. His neice runs the shop now. 🙏👍🍕

@@vincenzosplate Are there any Italian carnivore recipes? about 8-9 months ago I had to go full carnivore and found out I have a huge amount of food alergies that has me staying just about full carnivore or Im gonna say lion diet. Ive lost 116 pounds so far and my health went from almost dead to all my issues gone unless I eat something I shouldn't. I sorely miss my bucatini, but thats ok. maybe something else can take its place

[@Short-mistress]

​​@@tonymengela3575if you can have cheese I might know one. It's called anti pasto salad. Despite the name it only has peperchini and olives as must haves for veggies. All the rest vary from region to region. You can even remove those and put nuts in if you want. Most important part of the dish is cured meats none of the meats are never uncured and always cooked. This is best served cold on summer days.

Pizza is one of those dishes imo that seems simple, and can be in terms of ingredients, but the execution is super important. Masterful execution of the techniques for best pizza 🔥 I loved the part about the tomatoes and the sauce. Makes so much sense. Sometimes less is more

[@vincenzosplate]

Absolutely, pizza is a testament to the beauty of simplicity and technique. Quality ingredients and the right execution can make all the difference in creating a truly delicious pizza. Less can indeed be more when it comes to allowing the natural flavors to shine. Enjoy your pizza-making adventures! 🍕👨‍🍳🍅👌😊

[@angelgoyim]

Italians and Sicilians are highly passionate about pizza. There are numerous local and regional traditions on how to make it properly. There's no shame in doing culinary research on how to make these pizzas as authentic as possible. Needless to say, the entire Euro Mediterranean, including the Greeks, French, and Spanish are now offended, Joshua.

I like Joshua's videos, but as a chef myself i can't understand how with his background he doesn't understand the Italian cuisine philosophie, less is more when you have wonderful ingredients. He tells his recipe with so much assurance quoting the bible of pizza that anybody would believe him as true recipe. 😢

Hi Vincenzo. I really like this non neapolitan pizza. It looks awesome. I'm sure it tastes awesome. I would like to try a real Neapolitan pizza. Pizzas like this seems so simple, as they do not contain hundred of different ingredients. I'm subscribing. Greetings from Slovenija

[@BrianKelsay]

Johnny is awesome. He knows his dough. I worked for the American pizza franchise Papa John and while it is an American pizza, they used and taught us some techniques with the dough that are surprisingly close to how you do it. The dough was made in a central facility and the kept cold and distributed to the stores. Fresh shipment each week and we moved from coldest part of the walkin to the front the day before use and exposed it to a little air each day. The day of use we let it come up to room temperature several hours before use. It was a yeast risen dough. The way we spread out the dough was not exactly the technique you showed but similar with a light touch and flipping it up on your arm to slowly stretch it. We kept the sauce off the edges so it didn't burn.

[@vincenzosplate]

Thank you for the kind words! It's great to hear about your experiences with dough techniques, especially with a major pizza franchise like Papa John's. The attention to detail in dough management and the careful process of letting it come to room temperature for optimal texture are key elements in creating a delicious crust.

The reason why a sprinkle of sugar is often put in tomatoes outside of Italy is not just to sweeten. The sugar reduces the acidity of the tomatoes (part of the nightshade family). This reduces the chances of acid reflux for people who suffer with it and for people not used to a diet often consisting of tomatoes.

[@vincenzosplate]

Thanks for sharing the insight! It's interesting how a simple sprinkle of sugar can have multiple benefits. 🍅🧂🍬

[@kurt5079]

@@vincenzosplate No problem. Thank you for the video. Enjoyable as always ❤️

[@aaronlatimer3502]

I suspect the sugar was nessary for this reason, as pointed out the process of blending the tomatoes breaks the seeds and introduces extra bitterness....I wonder how many American tomatoe based sauces the call for sugar are only to address this now. And maybe be unnecessary of the tomatoes are handled with more care.

[@NORTH02]

Fantastic video, Vincenzo, especially because I'm heading to 400 Gradi at the Crown Casino in Melbourne when I'm visiting there in July.

[@anamericancookinspain6738]

Loved this. Was curious how you folks approach passata. I hadn't appreciated the splitting of the seeds adding bitterness, but that makes a lot of sense.

[@vincenzosplate]

Passata is a key ingredient in Italian cuisine, and handling it correctly can indeed make a difference in the taste of your dishes. Removing the seeds can help reduce bitterness and ensure a smoother sauce. It's all about those little details that can elevate your cooking. Enjoy your culinary adventures! 🍅👨‍🍳🍝😊

I know garlic isn't authentic as you guys stated here, but I personally love garlic on almost everything, so I always add it for myself. I've tried taking it out of sauces before, and I always miss it when it's gone. I understand that if you're stating it is authentic, then you shouldn't put it in everything, but that's why I never call my food authentic haha.

Thank you! Just looked up that video you mentioned - he was putting on the mozzarella after the pizza was baked and he immediately drizzled olive oil on it after it was out of the oven as well 🤷

[@hippiemuslim]

mozzarella should be cut if you're cooking it with the pizza, and the other one looks more like burrata

Johnny was using burrata cheese, similar but different but it’s runny on the inside and he only cooked the burrata for a manner of seconds.

Yeah he does drizzle some oil and tear the Burrata. The video is for Neapolitan pizza.

I suspect American traditions around tomato sauce evolved to use spices, garlic, and sugar because we didn't have San Marzano tomatoes widely available. Most of our tomatoes are probably more acidic and less flavorful. And the truth is, I love our tomato sauces, which is a good thing, as I can't find San Marzano at my local grocers

[@michaelfoley906]

And unless I'm mistaken Joshua's tomatos in this video aren't actually Italian San Marzano so would likely need that adjusting. I'd trust Joshua to know how to season and adjust the ingredients Infront of him over someone watching through a laptop screen any day.

[@vincenzosplate]

[@fishguy911]

@@vincenzosplate this may be true for east coast Italian-American traditional methods (too many sugo ingredients in my opinion), but it’s less true for west coast Italian-American cooking. West coast Italian home cooking tends to be closer to the original.

[@pdubb9754]

@@fishguy911 I can't speak to west coast Italian American traditions from experience. I am an east coaster as you surmised. Since the growing regions of California have a more similar climate to southern Italy, those who adapted to available ingredients in CA would have had access to fresher and perhaps more authentic ingredients. But if making sauce from a less than stellar crop of tomatoes, well, one adapts differently. If I didn't grow up loving my grandmother's tomato sauce, I'd be jealous.
