    We Flew to Italy... for PIZZA! | New York vs. Italian Pizza
    Last summer I took my Italian wife, Eva, on a road trip across America. We tried everything from street tacos in Los Angeles to Philly cheese steak sandwiches. She loved EVERY SINGLE DISH except one: New York style pizza. I decided to try and achieve some redemption for NY pizza but somehow we ended up... in Italy.
    Hope you guys enjoyed this video! If so, please give it a thumbs-up and subscribe to the channel. We'll be sticking around Italy for a little while so tune in next week!
    DISCLAIMER: We traveled in the safest manner possible, undergoing COVID testing before and after our flight. We followed all US/Italian regulations. Stay safe!

      Because Harper doesn't realize the BEST pizza on earth is in America in one town. That is New Haven CT. Even a few yards away from Joe's where he took her, is John's on Bleeker the best pizza in NYC. The problem is like most people on earth Harper does not know what pizza is, thank god Eva is teaching him. Not taking her to the New Haven greats is like introducing her to hamburgers by taking her to McDonald's. The Hamburger as we know it worldwide was invented in New Haven CT, not going to Louis Lunch there is not truly tasting an American Hamburger!

      @Paulo Dacosta You have no CLUE what you are talking about. First off 90% of what places call "Pizza" in the US and 100% in Canada are not in fact Pizza (unless some grotesque battery acid like orange smear and fake mozzarella on a horrible bread automatically makes it pizza in your book). That being said, New Haven CT still has the best pizza on earth (Sally's Appiza, Frank Pepes Appiza, Modern Appiza, BAR, Earnies, Olde World Appiza in Hamden CT, and Zapparties in West Haven CT). New Haven also has horrific pizza as it is the home of so-called "Greek Pizza" the grotesque abomination responsible for Papa Johns, Dominos and other grotesque fast food pizza's as well as the ONLY style of so-called pizza in Canada. New York has some stuff that is near New Haven Quality but you really need to know, most of what is called "New York Pizza" is neither "New York Pizza" and runs from mediocre to grotesque. While Joe's on Carmine and Bleeker Street in Greenwich Village NYC is one of the best slice pizzas in the so called "Modern New York Style" in New York City, these guys missed John's pizza 1/2 block down Bleeker Street which is arguably the best of the few remaining coal oven pizzas (Real New York Pizza) in the state of New York. Then no one reviews V&T Pizzaria on Amsterdam between 110th and 111th Street in Manhattan, the best electric pizza oven pizza in the state of New York (similar to Earnies of New Haven, CT if you remember to tell them well done!). ua-cam.com/video/lGKGiThvEj0/v-deo.html

I ordered from the waiter the authentic Italian way I had known having traveled to Italy many times. The chef bursted from the kitchen in tears saying that he was tired of cooking casseroles on bread for Americans. We hugged it out and he returned to Italy. When I explain this to Americans, they look at me with a blank misunderstand stare. Eva - thank you for validating me!!!!!!

      How I ordered! Pizza cooked with sauce and anchovy fillets only. Fresh basil, olive oil drizzle after, Shaved pecorino romano at table presentation. This is a Northern Italy style. I like with a "green wine" like Gavi Batistina. Otherwise, I like the Eva Neopolitan - scant buffalo mozzarella, a few leaves of basil , drizzle of olive oil. As Eva is saying - simplicity, not enormous amounts of cheese and meats - hence a casserole on bread like Americans style.

    I was fearing the reaction to another slice before she inevitably went "I want a real pizza"! The title showed this clearly wasn't going to end in New York! At least she had a better slice this time!
    I think the thing with Eva and pizza is it's mostly a style thing. NY pizza has a different crust, sauce, uses slightly different cheese, etc. Eva probably just doesn't like that style. However... many places in NY serve Neapolitan style pizza, perhaps it may not have been as good as the best pizza place in Italy but you would have gotten it a lot sooner!

In Capri, someone affirms that its origins are connected to the events of the family of the entrepreneur Massimo Canale who was the first, in 1988, to register the brand «Limoncello».
      It is a typical product of Campania Region, in Tuscany you can drink a copy of it, as simple as that.
