BEST PIZZA in ITALY! NAPLES Pizza vs. ROME Pizza!

Hi guys, I'm Mike Chen. Hello from Rome. This has been an amazing trip to Italy so far. My first time. It is an incredible country. Beautiful people and of course super delicious food. In fact, I just arrived in Rome no less than 20 minutes ago. I'm starving, all I ate this morning was a croissant, but I wonder if my first meal here in Rome would be Roman

pizza

and coming to Italy I knew there are two places where

pizza

reigns supreme: Rome, Naples, and they are completely different. from each other, so I'm going to go in, find out and taste the difference for myself, let's go eat pizza.

I get off the bus to eat pizza and this is what they greet me with. These are the national monuments and the dedication to Victor Emmanuel II. and it's majestic its whole square is so oh beautiful it almost made me forget about pizza for a second well, again on the way, I have to go get some food and then I'll be able to appreciate this much more. They are my first plays in the whole world. street from an old square and next to an all you can eat Chinese restaurant. I'm here at Pizza Florida, so a lot of the pizzerias in Rome I'm very casual.

You're going to have lunch, just grab these rectangular portions. They cut you with scissors and usually sell it to you by weight and I could have problems because my piece will probably weigh a lot, so here are all the pizzas, different types of flavors. Now Roman pizza has a lot fewer rules than Neapolitan pizza, so no. It could be different types of flavors It's supposed to be different types of toppings Yes, I'll have the margarita I'll have a slice and anchovies: fried fish and mushrooms, there are potatoes like in Russia that look great: tomatoes and spicy. chili, yeah, the biggest distinction between this and Oh Politics, is going to be the crust, the dough is like a medium to thin crust on this piece that they add olive oil to, that's why you get the crispy crust and of course in the chunks sorry that's not added and this is definitely a great variety of flavors just start with the basic margarita.

I don't know, it's because I'm really hungry, well, this is like this, we are trying some of you, you can hear the karcher type with a slight little bit of charcoal and you can taste a little bit of the fragrance of the olive oil, I mean, the color of the bottle is pizza, it's absolutely perfect, the margarita sigh, Jesus, fresh tomatoes, slightly sweet, it's not a fancy pizza by any means, put the doors crispy or brushed it's pretty light, you're simple and sensible, but incredibly every delicious slice of pizza. I mean, it doesn't seem like much, we cut it and toast it well.

I thought the dough might be a little tough. it may be a little overcooked, not the case at all, oh this should make everything better. This is the anchovy slice. I had never eaten a Chauvet pizza before in my life. In fact, the first time I heard about anchovies on pizza was in the Ninja Turtles movie, when Michelangelo threatened the pizza guy, I mean, I love anchovies, but probably just because I saw that movie I never want to put anchovies on my pizza, that's a Ninja Turtles influence, thanks to the crunchy daisy-sized bits on top of some cheese.

I can't believe my coins. It will make me miss this for all these years. These are little cherry tomatoes with chili and then they don't have cheese. Oh gosh, it uses burst tomatoes, but the Chi-free pizza dough just highlights how crispy and chewy this pizza dough is. This is very interesting. potato and mushroom pizza which is my favorite right now, the flavor is a bit one-dimensional. I visited Pisa. I'm really excited about the tuna pizza. This is my favorite. I'm sure it's probably a personal preference. There is such a wonderful bucket fly right now. a tuna salad on top of the pizza a little bit of arugula a little bit of tomatoes and I don't know if it's because I love tuna salad but this one is creamy it has tons of tuna which, although I was making something beautiful, this is like a pizza tuna melt with fresh vegetables and this is my favorite slide today.

I could get a whole pie out of this. Oh tomatoes, those tomatoes are so beautiful, there are so many things I love about this beach. I'm not just a tune-up. it's above the overall roman style PTA, I love Christina, it's flattened you know, although it's not like a super thin crust, it's not thick, medium thickness, but you see those air pockets, it's so airy and then It just falls head over heels. all the crazy ingredients, I mean margarita, simple, delicious, the tuna, that's something I'll remember for the rest of my life. Pizza around Sue had to sell some bacon, she tries to get some bacon.

Pacini mushrooms are the most popular type of mushroom in Italy without these mushrooms. and of course another slice of China, this because they actually just make this, where is the cream cheese on this slice of pizza? I think I figured out the rule for Rome-style pizza: you get the crust right, make it perfect, and then go crazy with the toppings. They are so creative, mmm, Bahai meets was ever working, you guys can see here the pizza breakfast part of the pizzerias and my first dog is here. DiMaggio apparently, this is one of Clinton's favorite pizza places when she eats Neapolitan pizza. go for the buffalo mozzarella, Apollo's pizza is crazy because it's the only piece in the world that is regulated by a quasi-police entity called VPN and it regulates the size of the pizza it regulates, that's copying, it really hypes up the oven in which it is cooked. the heat of the oven how long do you cover the pizzas let's time this I came out of the oven exactly one minute this is true Neapolitan pizza right in the heart right in Naples this is like eating pizza at your home base I have a margherita with buffalo mozzarella, this It's of course you have to get it anywhere you go and as you can see it's a little thick and centered like this which you should expect from a good Neapolitan pizza and I bought a second one because they asked me if I like it. meats and of course I said yes and this is shared in front of me, as I mentioned in my New York video, there are many rules if you want to make a pizza that can be called a real Neapolitan pizza, you have to use specific ingredients in this case , the upper part of this shoe must be buffalo mozzarella, the olive oil used must be extra virgin and all the ingredients must be from the Campania region of Italy and as I mentioned, you must customize the oven, the oven must be from firewood.

The air cooking temperature must be 800 degrees and it has to be cooked in less than two minutes and this is what we saw coated in exactly one minute. This is completely different than typical New York pizzas, obviously you can't cut them into slices and fold them. and eat it, it's not going to fold well because the tip, as you can see here, is just wet and has sauce ingredients in it, so this is one of the pieces in the world that you should eat with a fork and knife; don't look at this it's just like a soft airy bread and it's almost like I like a leopard print on the bottom slightly charred in certain areas and the crust almost melts in your mouth you get that slight sour taste which goes perfect with a candy. tomatoes I'm probably not even cutting this good Neapolitan pizza in Naples this is like a food lover's dream right here this is like one of the

best

wish lists if you're a pizza lover and I'm about to cross it off the my oh my goodness, I can't believe how good the dough is on real Neapolitan pizza.

I can't believe it's pizza dough. It just tastes like a very, very soft piece of bread, with a slight bitterness from the counter balanced perfectly by the sweet tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella. which I feel like you actually put more on the pizza than a New York, there's a lot of milk here and wine here on any of the slices I've had before. Basil is so aromatic and delicious. Now I will happily wrap any food. and look at all the air bubbles here, this is a sign that this piece is cooked in an incredibly hot oven and this helps reduce a super airy crust and the part where it is considered moist.

I feel like this is the

best

part of the pizza here, the dough. it's basically a love preview with the tomatoes, basil and cheese and this for me is my favorite bite right here, put a piece of basil in there, I'll surely tell you that I thought Neapolitan pizza was good when I had it in New York . York I mean I went to some of the best places in New York you know and to say it doesn't compare to this will be a huge compliment it has even come close to the taste of this pizza also pizza isn't even filling me up this is the pie meat here obviously this is not a traditional pizza tomato slices bacon looks like ricotta cheese and a ton of mozzarella she didn't guide me here the doll has the same wonderful chewy texture I like the burst of sweetness from the tomatoes.

I'll tell you which guys I like to invite. Yes, I love meat. I still prefer the ritual. Come here, have the buffalo cheese margarita. It'll make your pizza-loving heart explode a little. I'm going to finish this, but there are a couple more pieces from Ria that I'm dying to try on the street, but that was a pizza meal for the old power. My pizzeria is officially up here right now, the next place I'm going. This is an institution, oh my God, I had the scare of my life, I came here at 12:30, it opened at 12 and this is my number one goal in the works that come to Naples and then they told me that it was sold out As if I could.

I didn't go in and then I think I stood there with the saddest puppy look in my eyes, like he was looking at the piece of oven and they made eight and let me in and gave me the last table here. Oh, tell me. my lucky stars right now, okay, i was just going to order the margarita, but the waitress, who is so nice, also recommended that i get the s arena, which is smoked mozzarella, ricotta cheese, salami, black pepper, basil, but I ate it at the other place, but whatever. I'm not going to turn down a recommendation, ah, thank you very much, I bought both of my pizzas.

I just ate a couple of pizzas. Oh my god, I can't tell you how sorry I am. Still look at this perfect buffalo mozzarella smell. You can smell how creamy it is. The crushed area seems thicker than the last place I was and one thing I love is the yeasty smell of the pizza dough. I feel like after one bite you have to soak up all that deliciousness. I take a moment and let it wash. about you the mozzarella only says creamy it's only milky I feel like taking this fight just like I saw the Colosseum for the first time walking to a shopping center you just know you're in Italy in this pilot it's very different from the previous one. adapt obviously there are less tomatoes in this pizza toast it is less sweet let's go for soup but a lot more olive oil the taste of the olive oil is somewhat pronounced like you can really taste the olive oil I feel that the brushing is more airy it is softer It has a more fragrant flavor.

Personally, I love all the tomatoes on the last pizza and I almost wish there were more in those beats. The titmouse is absolutely perfect, even eating it alone. I think it just melted my second pizza. Astorino again, beautiful, fresh, there's a little ricotta cheese. here some salami, looks like some of you zucchini with black pepper, it's nice and crunchy, yeah long, oh man get a big hit of pepper, that's a lot of pepper in it, just look at that boring, you can see extra virgin olive oil. how thin it is almost I like this more than the daisy pipe and I'm embarrassed the same for this I should be walking down the runway somewhere it's so fabulous the last place I also had a pizza where the ricotta cheese was but I feel like that It was his hobbies were a little heavy, it was okay, he wasn't the best, but they made this pizza well.

I mean, I love the crunch of the little zucchini, the black peppers give it a slight spicy kick, a slight crunch from the salami too and then nice. Pork taste good, that ricotta, she, yeah, there should be a movie called, it's a wonderful story, this guy here, I don't know how they did it, this might be the first time I've eaten salami and I'm not overwhelmed by the saltiness. of it and for some reason it doesn't feel heavy in my stomach at all. I think also one of the reasons why pizza doesn't feel heavy to me is that it's too boring, like seeing that it's so airy and chewy, don't you want? just like rinsing one of these cracks, it's okay to live there, this is truly the pizza experience of pita experiences, let me give you due attention, I'll see you for a bit and as I was leaving, the owner also told me how far I could understand it because he was trying to speak Italian, now I was speaking English, he tells me that the dough takes 40 hours to prepare and that is what makes it so special and so chewy that you can definitely tell that that door is something special.

I'm going to walk down Pizza Alley around here and then on this part of the tour I still have one more place to try and what's also cool is that you can get a pizza to go if you don't want to sit down and this is also a very popular President's Pizzeria , so I want to see what it's like to get a takeout pizza because I want to experience it on just one more pizza before I leave Naples, one more Neapolitan pizza before. probably neverI will be able to eat this again. For a long time I was hoping for a quad fold where they fold the pizza four times and give it to you.

I just wrap it, bite it, but give it to me in the box, let's go now. I could smell the basil and tomatoes, it's a thick pizza, but come on, this beautiful pie for 350, you can only find that deal here. Oh, also one thing I forgot to mention about the colors of the margherita pizza, green, red and white, the three colors of this pizza. It also symbolizes our three colors on the Italian flag, making this probably the most delightful example of patriotism. I don't know what to do. Now I told you I expected like a folded pizza, so this is no, I don't think less of myself, please tell me that tomato sauce doesn't make you.

I want to beg for mercy right now I'm literally standing here in an alley in Naples chewing on my development feeling absolutely shameless am I supposed to apologize for how good this pizza is? These people know they really should have thought about this, okay? I will double it and turn it into a much more efficient calzone, well, as I said, one more piece of place, but we will return to Rome for that, my last restaurant in Italy, it is one turn from Talena, it is a sit-down. -a piece of place and like I said, I'm trying to get a reservation, it took me like two days, so the reservations really want to see this first page, the menu, this is a very popular place, a lot of tension is paid to the maturation. of the drug good every minimum 48 hours Wow olive oil without calories nicer lower whoa that's great emiliana this you think is the best pizza Wow wild boar mozzarella ah sweet pistachio pesto pistachio yes, I will take this 100% yes, yes, there one plus the second is your commanding general, general VZ, yes, I'm still Buffalo Moscow, which looks great, so this is a freshly made Roman style piece.

The only time I had a Florida one was it wasn't like a freshly made pizza and we hate it, it's still great, but this one. I'm getting it straight from the oven guys you have to see my piece right now so here I have the Emiliana which is wild boar mortadella, Cavallo mozzarella cheese and pistachio pesto so this is the wild boar let's get up oh y'all. look at the mozzarella, oh, look at that gooey cheese and you lift it up a little, oh, there's the pistachio pesto. I've never seen pistachio pesto before, what a treat and then I got this, easy overall, has baked buffalo mozzarella, my favorite raw cherry tomatoes. in ham, then these almost translucent slices of ham.

Oh, raw cherry tomatoes, so the cherry juice just splashes all over this very Roman slice of pizza, the distinction is that your crust will be thin to medium. Fan let me put the cheese and the pesto statue back here it's time to dig in I feel like I've been watching the trailers for a highly anticipated movie that I didn't want to see like 10 times in a row finally being attraction let's get to it I know if he just felt the love that was shooting through my eyes this thing is making a moving portal right now I have no idea where the pistachio pesto is I've been all my life but now that's in my life I won't let it go by the way this is what more notes in my mouth crispy pizza crust I've been to juice here go through the bomb route it's magical this thing should have its own mime from Las Vegas shows the crust I could write an entire album of love songs and dedicated to this smashed when I put that in my mouth, I swear, I hear angels singing, it's the crispiest, most melty piece of crust I've had in Italy so far, now that your mouth doesn't begin to describe this, you got that nice flavor, olive oil , there is more amazing pizza. yeah, amazing, oh my god, okay, I have to take the other hand that I have.

I know it's not okay to fall in love with two things at the same time, it's like they're both sitting on your table in front of you, but it's happening. It's a love story that game of silly ages try this camp it's a beautiful trifecta you have the hard, fragrant, salty and pork crust just a little bit of pesto the creaminess of the buffalo mozzarella with the sweet use of cherry tomatoes those pizza will haunt my dreams and my memories until the day I come back and eat it again seriously pistachio pesto if you never had it oh god you need to have it nutty Frank wins a great cream there are certain foods that you will encounter in life and not it's like that, it doesn't happen Alright, it happens from time to time when you take a bite and without realizing how it tastes, the emotions, hey, you know, I'm saying: do you see someone you are destined to fall in love with?

Feel the sensations, feel the butterflies, everything, everything you feel before you try it. I'll tell you this right now, if you're signed up, then you're missing out on this pizza. It's a big food regret. I promise you that I really want it in some way. I could have walked into this restaurant the first night I was here when I tried to make a reservation because I want to eat my last few bites here every day, excuse me for a second, let me check something. I'm just checking if it's legal to get married. a pizza because I want to be with him always, it ends too soon.

I feel like pizza, at least food-wise, has been one of the highlights of my trip to Italy and I'm glad I've tried different styles, from Roman style with crusty. melting crust a variety of toppings for the seemingly simple but wonderfully delicate Neapolitan tarts and to end my trip here tonight, man I wish I could hit the repeat button and do all that again, but it's a great way to end this trip, my favorite Neapolitan pizza. I have to analyze this one because it rusts. I love elos, but I love all the sweet tomatoes and creamy buffalo mozzarella that DiMaggio put on his pizza and again, it's way better, way better than any excuse I've had in New York or anywhere else. out of Italy and finally a nutty style pizza, you have to come here.

I mean, go to Florida Pizza, get a slice of tuna, it's my favorite thing, then come here and eat the Roman pizza of your dreams because guys in the world of pizza. it's a gladiator okay guys i have to go to bed early on the flight tomorrow but thank you all so much for watching this video all the places i went of course are listed for you in the description box below and again when they arrive.
