The Pizza Making Master of London - Massimo's Wood Fire Oven Sourdough Pizzas | Italian Street Food

If by chance you didn't know by now, Massimo is a Pizza making Master, not any ordinary master but he's also a dough spinning & tossing master, a master who serves up delicious pizzas at his street food stall going by the name of "Pizza Massimo". Massimo uses only Sourdough for the pizza base.

I am in awe of the skills demonstrated by Master Pizzaiolo Massimo who has perfected his skills over the course of over 20 years; first starting in his home town in Sardinia, Italy.

This is the 3rd video of Massimo Pizza, I've already published 2 previous videos in the past years, (scroll down for the links).

Massimo trades at several locations, on this particular day "Massimo Pizza" was at Queens Park Sunday Farmers Market in London and his wonderful mobile pizzeria with a wood fire oven had that freshly baked smell emanating from the oven which started making me hungry.

As well as the simple Magarita Pizza (topped with just Tomato Sauce, Buffalo Mozzarella Cheese, fresh Basil Leaves)

Massimo also has the wonderful Vegetarian option which is made with the following toppings:
* Homemade Tomato Sauce.
* Baby Spinach.
* Buffalo Mozzarella.
* Mushrooms.
* Red onions.
* Roasted Peppers
* "Spaghetti" Courgette
* Hot Chillies
* Green Olives
* Fresh Basil Leaves
* A drizzle of Garlic Oil

Here's some links to some (or similar) of the cooking equipment seen and used in this video:

Once a customer places an order; Massimo quickly and skillfully hand spins and stretches the dough and then it gets cooked in the wood fired oven (an oven which Massimo has had specially imported from Italy).

What raises the pizza to a higher taste level is the BBQ style smokey flavour imparted by the wood fired oven.

The actual pizza cooks very quickly, because the wood oven reaches a "sizzling" temperature of around 300 to 400 degrees centigrade, creating a deliciously smokey flavoured pizza.

Many thanks to the chef / patron Pizzaiolo Massimo Nocerino & all of the team who welcomed me and graciously allowed me a privileged glimpse into their street kitchen to watch the "pizza making" action.

If you want to catch up with him to see him in action and taste his yummy pizzas- He is a "street food troubadour" so if you want to know where he will be next, you could could message him via Facebook: @pizzamassimouk or his Mobile / WhatsApp: [phone]

Massimo was also in the auditions for the Britains got Talent show a few years ago.

Always great energy from this legend. He's decently active on his own youtube as well, where he has some interesting concepts.
But as this video shows, with a great cameraman, you can understand more of his style and get into a natural Massimo groove- the video says what can't be said with words, you're both very skilled gentlemen to say the least.

You are a true master, flipping two pizza doughs in the air, wonderful.

Stumbled upon this video by sheer chance 🍀 I liked this guy and his craftsmanship on the spot.. Simplicity in everything. This is the realest pizza in the making I’ve ever seen ( not eaten yet ☺️) I could watch this 24/7. Keep up the good work my man 👏👏👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻

Massimo, yours a channel that has a no nonsense simple approach to making pizza . No unnecessary explanations that may cause confusion . Have learnt a lot from you . First time I’ve seen someone stretching multiple pizzas at the same time .

I am now making my kitchen with a wood fired oven . Have to ask you this - for preparing your pizza, how good is wood as a surface ? I believe that’s what you are using .

OMG Love it, looks so good!
100% Pizza is one of my favourites!

[denisprieur]

You are one of the best pizzaiolo that i've ever seen Massimo!

[jbenkidu]

Just amazing!!! It is beautiful to watch one’s craft in supreme perfection.

As you can see that Mr. Massimo has a lot of trade. You knead four pizzas at once!. Bravissimo!!. A cordial greeting from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Bought my first pizza oven recently and made my own dough. It took me about twenty minutes to do what he did in roughly 10 seconds, and I still fucked it up. Amazing

Da pizzaiolo napoletano amante della Margherita tradizionale con abbondante basilico... ( ci manca solo quel giro di olio . Ti dico : complimenti .

[parisotmarc]

Needs more cheese in these pizzas !!! But looks great !!

[stephendelacruzone]

Il Maestro👑... at his element! It's a pleasure just observing you Massimo!✨👍

Napoletana Pizza is my favorite! Originated in Naples, Italy. This style of Pizza is so simple and delicious to make. A basic dough, fresh mozzarella cheese, San marzino tomatoes, fresh Basil, and olive oil. I make this at home twice a week. I wish I had a brick oven. My oven gets very hot and preheated at a very high temperature gets the job done! Pizzerias hear in the U.S. have become such a joke! Cheap ingredients they are using is just ridiculous. Make a decent Pizza at least! Bravo to you Mr Massimo a True Italian that takes pride in his Pizza!!!
