As italian I'm happy to see that an american chef, finally, has represented our traditional pizza in the right way. I can't say anything about NY pizza because I never tried yet but I'm very curious about it. Thank you Sir!

For anyone wanting to make only one of the recipes here are some timestamps.
American pizza: 1:03 dough, 2:44 sauce, 4:02 prep + cook.
Italian pizza: 1:56 dough, 3:30 sauce, 4:58 prep + cook

The Italian style looks too good to have been made in Texas

There's a message the Italian pizza sends that I feel like a lot of people easily forget. It doesn't have to be so many complicated ingredients! I often see people slapping a bunch of toppings on all food in general like pizzas and etc. but the thing about the Italian pizza is what makes it great is it's so simple in its ingredients. It shows that to enjoy food, you don't need a bunch of stuff on a pizza that might even make the pizza less enjoyable since you don't get to savour all the flavor. That's what I love with the philosophy of the Italian Pizza. It's simply delicious.

I think Josh just wanted an excuse to use his pizza oven

It's a good excuse tho

Josh should have really pissed some people off and made a Chicago and Detroit style pizza too! Great video, all pizza is good in my opinion. Italian pizza Margherita is just so classic it's hard to defeat!

Italian looks like what I want for a good dinner, New York for when I'm drunk and tired. 😂

The pizzas side by side is absolutely gorgeous! The way that you make the pizza is stunning, no offense but being traveling in Italy 3 to 4 times, pizza never gets old in Italy and pizzas were first started there

As an Italian-American native New Yorker I can say that both Italian and New York style pizzas are both equally amazing and both have their merits and demerits. Personally, I think it depends on the day and the occasion. Sometimes you want to make your grandmother proud, sometimes you just want to a well folded drippy cheesy slice

I'm an Italian who has worked as pizzerman as a summer job. I'm dying every time you add sugar.

Italian pizza looks less greasy and the crust looks incredible, so it automatically wins for me

[Ceraph]

I love that your cooking videos are a mix between an educational recipe and a taste test comparison makes it very entertaining and informative

[GioScalia]

grew up in brooklyn with a mother from naples and a father who owned a brick oven pizzeria and on its day a great new york slice is unbeatbable, but overall, nothing will top a great traditional Margherita made correctly. and not mention josh as always freakin nailed it. that pie looks incredible

[dejaramirez]

Please never stop making these hilarious videos or I'll run out of dinner ideas 😋

As a New Yorker it hurts me to say that Italian pizza is looking real good over there 🥲

[davidbaker]

I'm from Washington and we have nothing close to either. Went to Italy over the summer and I'll never be able to appreciate what passes for pizza over here again.

I would have to agree. Having had pizzas from all over Italy and from New York Italian wins all the way.
Although Scarr's in NY were excellent. I think theirs is the best American style pizza I've ever had.

Mandatory annoying "as an Italian..." comment here. Jokes aside, both pizzas look soooo good, and having eaten some pies both in NY and Naples I'd say that they're really two sides of the same coin (although I personally prefer the Italian one by far, but that's individual taste). Putting garlic in the tomato sauce isn't really something that Italians do (except if you're making a marinara), but honestly it's such a minor thing that I imagine the end result to be basically the same. In the end, fantastic video as always Joshua! <3

My grandmother was a full blooded Italian! She would have loved this video!
