One of the things I really enjoy about these compilation videos is hearing the way "And as always, enjoy!" has evolved.

I used to go to Food Wishes and play all his videos by random. Loving these compilation videos.

CHEF JOHN HOW DID YOU KNOW TONIGHT IS PIZZA NIGHT?!? I just started fermentation on the no-knead pizza dough last night! I cannot wait for the end product 😍😍

My mother-in-law taught me to put the baking soda in my spaghetti sauce and pizza sauce to "sweeten" the sauce and stains would come out of shirts and table linens. Also relieves heartburn. She was siccilian
and it made the sauce taste great!

San Marzano is the only tomato I ever use for sauces. God, I love your channel! You are literally my favorite YT Chef. I even have a special "Chef John's Best" playlist on YT.

I was literally looking at your previous videos on how to make homemade pizzas and now this gets posted. It's a sign from God that I make a pizza today.

[dawnbourque]

Yesss I wanted this today! Just got a Breville smart oven air fryer that has a pizza setting I want to try!

[DeathMetalDerf]

I can't believe I have never thought of using both dry and fresh herbs in my sauce at the same time like you did with the oregano! I'm willing to bet it will really help round out the flavors, and very well could be what my sauce has been missing the entire time.

Every Friday is Pizza Friday in my home and has been since 2012. We moved to France in 2017 and continued to make pizzas! We bought a home here 2 years ago and it came with an outdoor pizza oven. How lucky are we! I will have to try your sauce as it sounds delicious.

[poppywilliams]

You just kicked me um..to the delish zone! Always ready to taste new dishes! Yummy, yum! Doing the air fryer way. Waving to you from south Georgia-land of best Peaches, boiled Peanuts, & Vidalia onions!

[cerveza]

"RSAT for short." This is why we love you, Chef. 🤣

As always, Chef John delivers the pizzazz

I love that you showed us the tomatoes from Italy.

I like thin new York pizza.
I don't have the high temp oven.. when I baked the bottom was done but the sides still needed more cooking time.
I thought about it and this method worked out.
I used a cast iron pan...the biggest one I have..
I threw corn meal at bottom and then pressed the dough around. I cook on stove top until it was crispy..then I flipped it over to cook other side.
Laid on my sauce and toppings.
Then put all under a broiler at 500.
Just enough to brown the top.
It works!!! No lie.

My mom and I make pizza every time I come to visit from college and her trick is to run the canned tomatoes through a food processor to get a less chunky such for easier spreading

[NatalieCWilliams]

Chef, thank you for sharing ALL these great pizza recipes in just one video 👍🏼😊

[zero_bs_tolerance]

I keep talking about how I want to make pizza at home and know I have no excuse not to.
Thank you, Chef John.

[beebeetee]

Thanx Chef John. I will try this recipe soon. I like my sauce a little spicy too.

[Cooked-with-Love]

Can't tell you how useful this video is! 🖤🖤

[leesteal]

Wow, Chef John read my mind. A few days ago, I was just thinking of trying to make a pizza.
