BEST Pizzas in New York! New York Pizza Tour of Manhattan

Waitress in the big city Hi guys, I'm Mike Chen. Now, despite the many videos on this channel, and also despite the name of the channel, I don't just eat Asian food, I like to think of myself as an equal opportunity food lover. Of course, Chinese food is my favorite because, well, that's where I come from, that's what I grew up eating. But I really love foods from all over the world. Now, having lived in New York City for over a dozen years,

pizza

is, of course, something I absolutely adore. It's hard to find a really bad slice of

pizza

in New York City unless you go to Little Caesars or something.

I don't know if it's the water or that pizza sauce that runs through the veins of New Yorkers. Even the dollar portions here are much better than most places you'll find out in New York. So in this video I'm going to take you to some of my favorite pizzerias in this city. This time, we'll just cover Manhattan and then move on to Brooklyn, which many New Yorkers consider to be true pizza heaven. Very good guys. Let's take a

tour

of pizza. Location number one. I can't even talk now. I'm in Rubirosa, this place in Lolita is not really known as a slice place.

What's more, you sit down and eat a whole pizza because, believe me, you don't want just one slice here. My favorite pizza here You're looking at it. You're seeing it right now, the vodka pizza, if I come here for lunch, dinner or whatever, I'll take the whole pot. First of all, let me show you why it's not as intimidating as you think, it's big. Yes, but look how thin she is, she looks like she appeared on Weight Watchers. It was Jenny Craiging herself. If you know anything about New York Pizza. They are New Yorkers with a thin crust.

We love thin crust pizza. We look how beautiful. This is delicious and crunchy and when it arrives straight to your table, the sauce is delicious and bubbly. You know I'm going to shut up. And first take a bite in the classic New York way. Fold it. take a bite. You guys have to come here and eat this, you really do. Look how incredibly thin he is. I mean, this is like eating a pizza cookie, and I mean in the most delicious way possible, the sauce is sweet and vodka-flavored, the cheese is beautiful and light. I came here last week, ordered this pizza and took a bite. those moments of love at first bite.

Yeah, that was definitely one of them. What really sets this pizza apart from all the other

pizzas

I've tried? It's really the crust that I can't get over how incredibly thin it was. I mean, you're eating a slice of this pizza. I mean, I'll show you guys, I just finished a slice, okay, that's definitely not enough, and I feel like everywhere. I'm going today This is one of the

best

portions Although it's only been a week I really don't miss you The only bad thing is that it's a good thing for this restaurant But the only bad thing is that there's always a line out the door, but if you're in New York and want one of the

best

pizzas

the city has to offer, in my personal opinion.

This is it and again. Don't just keep one portion, come on. Order a whole pizza, eat one, freeze it and take it home. You'll get that nice crunch of the dough in your mouth. Simply fill it with that delicious spicy and sweet sauce and then the melted cheese. I'd eat this in a dark alley next to a dumpster. But that probably means Batman could come and steal my pizza. I have to go get a slice of supreme because pepperoni. That's how you can tell this is a good portion. I feel like the pepperoni has to be curled with that little... look at that little puddle of oil inside.

That's called a delicious cup of pepperoni. Yes, those things exist, you have pepperoni with sausage. Fresh Garlic Fresh Garlic Battles Simply cut the garlic on your face. Hello, beautiful Hmm, the pizza has a good crunch. Beautiful basil flavor and it has that garlic flavor. The sauce is a little spicier than the vodka sauce. This place really got the dough right if you do a blind New York Pizza taste test. Do you know which? A Rubirosa is only from the dough. Rogers is simply spectacular, a beautiful shell. I really don't want to eat a whole piece before going to five more places.

But yes, this will end and although I will feel full, it will be a great start. to this pizza day. Yes guys, I told you I was going to finish this and lastly, I just want to say that this pizza is so simple but so refined which makes it absolutely delicious. I'm going to finish this and then we'll go to the numbered filming location. Three square slices of extra crispy pepperoni. I gladly wait in line to see it. Oh how beautiful it is, did I just eat a whole pizza? I'm still salivating, this is from our number two location, Prince Street Pizza.

Which makes the best square pizzas in New York City? No one else can compare it, just look at it. See the little puddle of sauce here if you see how? Crispy, this pepperoni is called spicy spring covered pepperoni. Beautiful melted cheese and this is thick. I feel like really the weight of this pizza comes from the pepperoni itself. Look, look how much pepperoni is in this slice, I mean. I wish there was that much in each slice and make sure when you go there to ask for more crunch. This is where you'll know how crispy this pizza is?

Ah ah, ah ah this is incredible. Spicy pepperoni, that's the best kind of pepperoni. Finally. Let's take a bite of the dough! The dough is a little charred on the bottom, so with a slight crunch to the chewy center it's just a perfect balance of texture. And the flavor, guys. AHA. This pizza has a flavor that slaps you in the face. He's not like that, he's not shy, he's been in love with you for a year and then he awkwardly asks you out. pizza coffee mug This slice of pizza will see you walking down the street, walking up to you, telling you that you are beautiful, asking for your Facebook, Instagram, phone number and email yes, that's how bold this pizza is.

Don't you just love crispy, lightly charred pepperoni on fresh cheese and airier pizza dough? So different from the Rubirosa pizza, which I feel is really refined. It's quite pretty. If it were a sports car, this would just be a monster truck, so if you really like strong, bold spicy flavors and not wasting your time on slices of pizza, Trent Street is where you should go. I'm going to finish and then we're going to Press on location number three. Location number three. I'm in Kestè. If you notice that this pizza is not really like the pizzas that I have had today, and that is because this is what is known as Neapolitan pizza, and yes, there is a huge difference.

So you know, you don't see a lot of stringy cheese, and that's a characteristic of this pizza. It's not supposed to have that much cheese. You notice that the middle is almost what you could say soggy, and the dough is very soft. Unlike the last two places we went to, but the flavor is no fresher than the sauce. It's light, it's sweet. It's just a comfortable sauce and this is a really nice break for me because this pizza is not greasy. It is mainly about natural ingredients. The dough, mmm, I love this dough, the charred part.

It's slightly bitter, which goes wonderfully with the slightly sweet sauce and even the end of the dough - nothing crunchy, just soft and chewy. This entire pizza cooked in less than two minutes. No joke, one minute and 30 seconds to be exact. It's cooked in a wood-fired oven made with parts imported from Italy, built by an Italian pizza oven manufacturer, and that thing can reach up to a thousand degrees in there. Oh, another thing about that oven, the floor. The oven is made from volcanic stone, so you're basically eating pizza cooked in a volcano. It's not just about the characteristics that make up a Neapolitan pizza.

It's also about the rules. This is how you can rate Pizza sauce must be made with San Marzano tomatoes Olive oil used must be extra virgin, cheese must be buffalo mozzarella All ingredients must be imported from Cicano, Italy, size must not be larger than 14 inches in diameter and the pizza should be cooked in less than two minutes because they only use crushed tomatoes here. If the pizza is cooked a little less, the sauce is a little spicier and less sweet when cooked more. It's a little sweeter in a minute and 30 seconds That sauce is perfect with all these rules you get this: a chewy charred pizza fresh tomato sauce beautiful cheese like I said I love this pizza for its sheer simplicity when you come to a place like this you want a Neapolitan Pizza, you should get a whole pizza.

They don't sell it by portions. They just bring you the whole pizza and believe me. Yes, you can finish a whole pizza, and I swear when I eat a slice of this I feel like a small pizza. It's like a pizza canceller. One more tip, always eat pizza like this. Inside the restaurant, when you catch it in a cardboard box when you get home, this will be a soggy ear and in chewy year you won't want to know why. I love this place. Hot olive oil. Dip that into pizza and a hot oil can't beat it.

It's like they took those thousand degrees of their heat and put them in this hot oil. This is no ordinary spicy food. This is really spicy. Hey guys, I'm going to finish this and let's go to location number four. To make a video about the best pizza in New York City, I have to go to Joe's. It's like paying tribute to the Godfather. pizza This is a quintessential New York slice, melted cheese on top, sweet sauce, crispy crust, yes. You have to hold her like a baby. It's what you have to do with it, look at how thin this pizza is, it won't be as crispy as Rubirosa's, the cheese won't be as refined as Kestès', but that's all.

You want a New York pizza, this is what you get. This place is one of the places that does it best. Like I said, the crispy crust looks all over the cheese, a little hard and thin, unapologetically loaded with flavor. This, this is in New York. For me, you have to make it rain chili. Crispy, sweet, cheesy, spicy bites, like all New Yorkers, these pizzas have a lot of personality. I don't know about you, but when I eat pizza. I love root beer. Also, when it comes to Joe's, I feel like there is a location difference today.

I went to two Joe's locations: the original one on Karma and this one on 14th Street. My honest opinion. I feel like this place is so much more. better. The crust is crispy here, the cheese is cheesier. Overall, better pizza. Well, my pizza day is almost over, so after Joe's, we're going to one more place with this special pizza. Come on Final location of the day, let's have fun I'm Patrizia's on Second Avenue And they have some pizza creations that are not very typical First of all look at this This is a calzone Pizza calzone and a pizza.

It's a shoe with... pizzone. I think what I can do is separate the pizza and the calzone. The pizzas are nourished by the spicy fresh mozzarella sauce. I'm very excited about this. I'm not even sure how I'm supposed to eat this. First I'm going to take a bite and then I haven't penetrated the area. Yes, I'm going to open this and see what's inside. Wow oh? That's a lot of cheese. It looks like mozzarella and ricotta cheese, and it's getting a little messy, so let me try this tomato, fresh basil and mozzarella sauce with ricotta cheese.

Definitely the freshest calzone I've ever had. The dough is crispy and light the cheese is fresh the sauce is sweet Fun and delicious, this is also super cool. This is the star-shaped pizza. It has prosciutto. It looks like grape tomatoes with arugula and a little parmesan on top. I guess I'll break this up a bit. It breaks easily. I love that about stars. Each piece is actually already cut into these cute little slices with the mozzarella tipped edge. Can I add a little more cheese? Someone needs to give this piece a star. Wait, it already is!

I'll dip it in this like olive oil. Oh, I hope they sell it! This is a spicy, fragrant and garlicky olive oil. Last pizza: The one I'm most excited about, check this out. It's a Nutella calzone pizza. Like the other pizza you can separate it from the pizza side and the calzone side and the pizza side has Nutella the whipped cream is already melting a little because I let us sit there if it also has marscapone cheese inside look This is the pizza. It's layered, you see. It's like a stuffed pizza. Oh, that's so crispy. Jam filled with chocolate.

This might be the most decadent pizza on the planet. I'm dying to eat this calzone. The crust is very thin. Let me separate this. It is filled, of course, with Nutella and mascarpone cheese. There's so much Nutella in there! Slightly crunchy and chewy, they hit that deep nutty chocolate Nutella in that sweet cheese. I was almost drinking hot Nutella. And if that sounds good to some of you, believe me, it is so this has been a super cheesy pizza day. And if I had to choose my favorite I'll say Rubirosa number one with their Prince Street vodka pizza number two you know how much I love them both you need time for two slices of pizza Go to Ruby Roses and get your vodka slice, then walk down the street Block to Prince Street and get an extra crispy spicy spring square pepperoni, and if you have more time, come here and order a Nutella pizza.

That reallywill make the pizza life complete now as always all the places I went are listed in the description box below until we eat again. I'll see you later. You turned off the camera, right? Don't film me eating this. ..???...How come the light is still on?
