$2 Pizza Vs. $2,000 Pizza • New York City

eating gold is like the equivalent of wiping your butt with dollar bills at some point it's just gonna come in contact with my ass this is doing it in a kind of more elegant way right so we're in New York right now we're still you have to get an ice cream this morning I need to stop having dessert for breakfast yeah it's kind of a problem but that's okay we're gonna fill this little belly up with pizza so today and tomorrow we were gonna be trying three drastically different New York Pizza places that very drastically different price point to find out which one's the most worth it at ass given price point actually we do have a special guest who might be one of the best people poor shadowy before our previous with an episode together on pizza I get the works but I learn that pizza is really about the crust you look like a the works kind of guy you are on the Jersey Shore your nickname would be the works your hair it's got the works my jackets got the works you give people the work so clarify that for my girlfriend I cannot give anybody the works first husband go into it's a nice little shop in the village called Joe's pizza I love pizza it's the best food in the best place with the best people my name is Alexson we are here at Joe's pizza and the greatest village I've been working here for more than 25 years Wow but the places we've been here since 1975 who never change your recipe you guys are the best right yeah whoever wants to buy a knife well done few times they come here we know some tools they come like 20 years ago and they still come around them and their families and difference the lady every day she walk from midtown to here by two slices go home three years like the beginning of the pizza is in the kitchen because I make the dog go flour to make it easy to work and then I stretch it cartoon special even not too big not too small gotta be gentle right I'm not gentle all right I'm hard with the dog this dough is okay but it's too cold oh it's too cold it's gonna have to stretch it all depends of the weather summertime rice you need an hour and a half every pizza is different I could make thousands of pie is gonna be thousands kind of different and then the sauce is only one scoop what's good to put more generally to something I have to be careful with the amount of salt got to be spread and nice and even I grab the cheese and I pull it and I see it always just try to put the same spot so many years already how's gonna come out the oven itself has to do with a favor there's a 40 years old man working every night you never shut it off honey nella Peter's minutes making the whale active is golden in the valley and around and the cheese he eats every day more every day at least once a week say once a week no ya lookin some of that everlasting immortal pizza we've done a lot of awesome food before yeah this is probably the most excited I've ever been it only is piece of my favorite food but this is my favorite incarnation this slice no dream right now no what then got that crunch so you either sorry I could crush like ten days right it has a satisfying true but it still makes a sound in every part of it that you bite into you get that crunch if not a pile of grease no greaseless it's actually kind of like pizza there's just enough burnt bits where you have a slight bitter taste and then the sweet sauce cancels that out perfect know what you hope every piece of pizza is gonna taste like good this is unquestionably New York style pizza you don't even have to be hungry to watch those pizzas it's a treat pizza I think I'm gonna have this pizza for dessert after every next pizza place we got you what do you think about that I think I want more pizza you want to hook us up to more this is the kind of pizza you would eat alone that's when you know the food's good we've come for the food not for the company tell me about it Adam beat the back can't get better than this no I think it gets different than this it just like what's an analogy you know this is perfect what did you think of Joe's pizza it's just the the cartoon it's what the Ninja Turtles would eat it didn't look perfect before he made it turning imperfect a perfect very hard to judge he could sense differences in the pizza that I don't think I could ever since it's raining outside so the dough is a little more humid the moon is full so it rises a little higher it's just like the sunset yes one's a little different but it still makes the world go round think we can get the whole train to say Pete's effect at the same time I'm not gonna yell because we're in a public space he's the best there is a 3d printer that prints pizza NASA wanted to print pizzas for astronauts in space we already have a 3d pizza printer his name is Alex at Joe's are you ready for this next place I'm scared we're about to eat a pizza made by the mario batali the Italian in season 1 we actually ate at a restaurant that Marty the vitaly helped start and now we're gonna make lunch for us yeah I'm here hey fellas my name is Mario Batali I wear short pants for a living and I'm making pizza we are at easily Flatiron and this is a restaurant called Rosso Pomodoro Italy is an experiential grocery store our messages you shouldn't go out to dinner fundamentally the store is about buying stuff here and making it yourself can you buy everything here you need to make this piece of everything that you eat you can buy in this store and we will give you the recipe this is Neapolitan pizza the fundamental story behind both pizza and pasta is that the noodle or the crust is the dish everything else that's on it is merely a condiment you would never get a works pizza in Italy so you make the dough this is a dough that is quite delicate so it's not one that you throw the idea is to stretch it consistently so that it's nice and pin about this big around then we dress it with just a little bit of tomato sauce which is crushed San marzanos that's it a little bit of herbs a little oregano a little extra virgin olive oil into the oven that's it when it gets a little brown on the left side where the heat source is you just give it a little spin comes out you sprinkle with a couple more oregano leaves that's the pie I made a calzone in case you got hungry oh it's pretty good we're gonna eat you sit down and eat I would love to you can we do that yep yeah Mady not a pizza there's no cheese good no this is where you truly understand the magnificence of the bread being the story the sauce being the condiment and go ahead try yeah cheers cheers Cheers I'm gonna say you ate it from the back I always want to check to make sure the crust is in the right spot and it is yeah so my mouth that's the way it survived the crust is just my favorite part that's what I want it's just that dough I can't believe this is just fresh tomatoes why am i eating tomatoes with anything else in it that's a question I often ask to other people I know that people are gonna look at this pizza and say it's burnt what are you thinking about that it's gonna say that some guy on the Internet is gonna say that we're gonna look at that and say this word but isn't that important in this course or the burnt piece we're not hiding this there was a char to our bass but when you eat that that bitterness is measured out against the song of the tomato sauce right like that better makes sense doesn't it when I met Korean BBQ and you got those burnt pieces still left on the grill that's my jam right the Italian bite needs to have a whimsy and Caprice to it because they like one by to be rude I'm one don't beat now try this calzone it's classically filled only with ricotta and prosciutto pork block which is the cook ham not for shoot law department oh dear God it's succulent the way that a jelly filled donut is well said it's like if I took a bite of a pig that was still moving and it had submitted to your carnal desires yeah that's what it should taste like I feel weird saying that but that's what I said it there's good pizza in this town you know Joe's like the best slice in New York yes Joe's on father Deimos Square yeah we were there last night that is a New York slice there was almost nothing better neither should be excluded from the party someone's got to do a investigation to what goes into these cans of tomatoes why don't we take your show on the road I'll take you to Naples I would do that there's a rich sweetness to almost everything that grows there is due to that volcanic kind of soil that they have there's something poetic about tomatoes grown in the soil where a volcano erupted yeah being sweeter to compliment the char enos sorriness on a piece of reading today [Music] I think we both just got put to shame I'm just a little thirsty you know what I work all day long this style of Pizza what was its purpose not necessarily a meal it was probably even considered maybe a side dish or just the bread tomato sauce came from the new world so 1600s would have been the first time you saw a real beat so pizza sauce comes from the new world tomatoes were from America not from Italy yeah be kidding me no you just love food I love everything about it the story the practice the production when I became a cook in 1978 anybody could peel potatoes for soup in the ensuing 30 to 40 years who transcended merely fuel and meals you guys are eating thousand dollar case the world has changed well this way is one of the best experiences for us thank you very much grab me there's the allegedly burnt piece for the angry guy on the internet there's a charm oh okay Adam Adam just committed to a big fight you're gonna have to give him a second here so we just in Italy at their pizzeria which i think is called comodoro of also means red tomato look at me I'm practically a Batali a Batali or Italian I'm a battalion whoa I can't believe how good that boots it tasted he made cooking look so simple and so easy I'm ready for a no cheese pizza fact pizza fat Naples actually had the world record for the longest pizza ever longest yes yes how long it was is it still a circle give me a number 20 feet did I nail it 6,000 feet haha that's over a mile they cook it over a volcano volcanoes not even that big we're going to the final pizza you ready for this pizza mm big ones 6,000 foot pizza $2,000 pizza this is all job right no we're gonna eat if he doesn't like pizza do we have the money for that [Music] my name is Laurie Boone I am executive chef of English a kitchen today we wanna eat this at $2,000 fix does it have a name 24k 24k pizza yeah come on idea because when I walk down Broadway you see the big jewelry store this is a Broadway jewelry store at a place yes so you just wanted to find the best ingredient regardless of the cops exactly a fee-only is to be different than everyone in your city I want to do it when I stretch the pizza dough the dough the squid ink then we want to put the foie gras sink and cheese for England today I want to put winter black chosen from friends in the 24k gold from Ecuador industries also sprinkles then bake in the oven seven to ten minutes then go outside with Osetra caviar from Caspian Sea do you think you're ever gonna make a pizza that's better than this one I don't think so haha diamonds not next you cannot eat them you cannot eat I've it watch me try I got a strong stomach I know I don't you can die say it as it is it's kind of crazy it's the gold pizza we need a couple hundred dollars worth of gold let's see if it works a Mac so we got here the 24k it's the gold season let's do this thing look at you learning it was the thing I do with real people I eat with - I might not have real friends family we're not there yet I feel like we're family more than friends you know I'm not sure if it's our purpose to be there as some rich as I felt watching a pet gold shade go just like feel like that would be your stripper alter ego gold shaker the richest you'll ever feel has a lot of fun it's like the slice I want this one oh look at that crossing Oh whoa look at $30 bite right there I wasn't like super confident I knew what Stilton tasted like it's actually really creamy and smooth and is a nice kind of backdrop for the caviar and the foie gras at the end of the day it's still pizza right you eat it [Applause] mm honestly speechless you never get used to eating gold oh man I can't waste the book on Goldfinger we've had foie gras now we've had the caviar taco now she's all coming together it's one way to think of it yeah gold I love ya this is a pizza you got to share though I feel weird is it the gold I just ate two hundred and fifty dollars this pizza I would one slice in my mouth too fitting what this pizzas doing for me is it's a filling one of my greatest fantasies always been a huge fan of James Bond as I grew up I realized I am a little bit more of a Bond villain and eating this pizza I feel like a Bond villain I want to eat this in my volcano lair James Bond is locked up he probably escaped already because I never do it right you are right that I feel I feel kind of like like I'm committing a crime I think that's the greatest gift you've ever given me can we be building together you'd be more like my henchman it's fine with me here's what I think we should do bring it back to us via New York headquarters sharing the wealth how many times in your life have you gotten a slice of pizza that you didn't know you're gonna get have a slice I'm not gonna eat it all anyway it's kind of like this beard of Pizza let's go back us up from some more people oh man whoa and that's what $1,250 looks like in a cardboard box [Music] no I don't like this has been possibly my favorite episode so far the Neapolitan from Italy which is the perfect representation of what Pizza originally was and you have Jose which is the perfect American slice what was the most worth it for me probably the Jose slice what it was the most pizza that Pizza has ever been so in the freaking a pretty industry kitchen pizza two thousand dollars all the ingredients together I think I would prefer personally to eat them individually Mario Batali's pizza a meal is best enjoyed with friends and we got a new friend today my worth a winner both Italy I struggle to digest cheese oh you're just like toasted I obviously picked the one that's not gonna make you far he inspired me to change my life is our cooking board really yeah Mario sent him a book and he's a lot of help Adam who's your worth it winner you know what I really want though dessert pizza - Jose if I was blindfolded and had a cheese slice in this slice so you'd know milk is your first primary response your lactic sensors would fire like a baby sucking on the teeth oh yes
