The owner is so nice, welcoming and passionate! Really speaks to the love and pride he has for his craft! I always love when you get to meet these amazing people to help you alex! They're fantastic!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Alex you should do more research on better help, their therapists are not licensed, they don't get paid well and they are overworked. There are multiple video out there that explains it in full detail. That is if you care about your viewers.
it would appear that he doesn't no, i've raised the same concerns previously and here we go again. While we are at it they also sell customer data to third parties, which is also quite concerning
As an italian, I feel so deeply grateful and proud everytime you do videos like this about our cuisine. You are a sunray of passion that brings real studies about recipes to the world, in the midst of thousands of shallow "social media chefs" who just pretend to know how to cook something and spread misinformation, expecially with the italian cuisine. The world needs you!
I actually loved that you included commentary from a fan. I rarely get to see this aspect about other experiencing YT creators in the wild and how they have impacted their lives.
I started making this style after visiting Bonci's in Rome. One big pro-tip from Bonci is to use brewer's yeast, especially if you don't have a sourdough starter. I went to a local brewery supply and got a lager yeast (works in the cold of a fridge) and it added SO MUCH flavor to my dough. Now I use sourdough, but if you don't feel like maintaining a starter, the brewer's yeast is a great short cut.
This advice (taking brewer's yeast) seems excellent to me! the brewers "train" their yeast so that it gives lots of flavors to the beer so it must be a "competition" yeast! ! ! on the other hand I think that we should probably avoid industrial breweries and instead ask for "micro brewery" yeast
FYI, in italy, yeast of beer (lievito di birra) is what they call the yeast their use in their breads, pizzas included. I never understood if it's a cultural thing to use that type of yeast in italy or if every country uses the same yeast but don't call it that for recognition reason (maybe it's called bread yeast in your country ?). But what i'm saying is that Bonci using brewer yeast is not something special, it's ubiquitous over there.
@@insertnicknamehere In most old fashioned bakeries throughout the world, the two will usually feed into each other like that. Bakeries will use leftover yeast from breweries, because it's there and it's mature and there's an excess product. Breweries understandably have a better setup for fermenting things. That being said I specify 'old fashioned' because it really doesn't happen much with modern commercial bakeries with their own industrialized supply chains, you only see it at smaller scale local operations due to the perishability of it all.
I make a very similar pizza, and it's amazing, and it works beautifully. I use Italian semolina flour and age the dough in a cool room for 16 to 24 hours. All thanks to another UA-cam channel, Pasta Grammar. Couple with Italian wife who knows her food. It's simple and SPECTACULAR!
It's always nice to meet your crew, it gives a lot of humanity to your videos. Suddenly it's not just another influencer in the streets of Rome, it's a passionate team from different countries meeting around food, there's a real beauty to that
Still waiting for him to come to the Ruhrpott to learn about Currywurst. And then let him pray to all the gods of the universe when he makes his own Currywurstsauce at home. 😈
@@BastetFurryGod I'd love for Alex to do a Currywurst series. Or just generally a 'Northern Cooking' series. All the stuff he's done is eastern or southern.
@@BastetFurry generally waiting for him to look into German baking. I'm pretty sure he'll find appreciation for our more rustic breads, our cakes and lye rolls/pretzels.
Welcome to my thought process 8 years ago. Tried my hand at the neapolitan, actually used your recipe and your website. Invited friends over and took forever to cook 6 pizzas. so I moved on the roman style. I can have 4 trays out in no time and feed 6-7 people in an evening. And it's so good I dream of it at night.
Neapolitan style and Roman style (but more realistically round Pizza al piatto and squared Pizza al taglio) have theyr pros and cons, and based on wich region of italy you find yourself in people may overwhelmingly like one or the other or it may be personal preference, however when it comes to making Pizza at home Roman style wins by a landslide. It's easier to make, can be somewhat done in a regular oven unlike Neapolitan wich demands a wood oven and various tools, you can make as much or as little as you want and the leftovers will be better than Neapolitan so you dont have to stress about how much to make, but the most important thing is that it can be customized. Bake a Pizza Bianca and a Pizza Rossa and then proceed to ask whoever is eating what they want, you can either put on raw ingredients like Salame or fresh mozzarella or you can give it a few more minutes in the oven to melt. Overall Neapolitan pizza has way higher of an entry level :D
I LOVE pizza with potato. I used to go to a flatbread pizza place who did amazing sourdough starter, sourced ingredients from as many direct local farmers as they could manage, large hand-built wood fired ovens that took days to get from cold to perfect even heat. They would always have a chefs special. Many people would say the combinations of they saw there as to unusual or crazy, but there were not many that were different than these examples in Rome. And yes occasionally there was something totally new...like I remember a wild garlic and fiddlehead special, but it was an opportunity they had and it was really just like this owner indicated, you take a base and you express what is available while not messing up that base.
Fantastic video as always :) I'd love to see two series from you: - A chinese theme exploring peking duck, spring rolls, that kind of thing (your fried rice series is one of my favourites) - A curry theme exploring the differences between curry-culture - Vietnamese, Malaysian, Indian etc - I haven't seen this anywhere before
Italian here, I grew up with mother cooking the friday night (tray) pizza, you can dress it with anything. Mamma was using it as a way to clean up the fridge, so cured meat, different types of cheese, vegetable etc (on of the best mix was tomato sauce, mozzarella & fontina, canned tuna and anchovies, sliced spicy salame (over everything to roast it, leaving under the cheese would steam it, leaving a bad porky after taste) and onions :D Thank you for the videos!
Some of us know this Nonna (Grandma) pizza 😁. My husband's Nonna made this every time the family came to see her, and it's everything you say it is. We miss her (and not just for her pizza) but she took her secrets with her when she left us. Now, maybe, I can bring her back in spirit when I make this at our family reunion this summer. Thanks, Alex!
Alex I have been watching you for years and the comments can finally agree with me that you should not take better help sponsorships. I was always afraid about bringing it up but i feel better about it now that others are seeing the truth too. I really urge you to do your research Alex, I loved you for years and still do, we are here for you but please look into the sponsorships you take. Many sponsorships especially better help, these companies are extremely toxic and only want your attention and money. Please please reconsider Alex.
I love that people recognise you, you really have elevated cooking shows to another level, no elitism just passion that makes you different and better. Keep on going Alex you entertain, inform and educate ... awsome work.
Che meraviglia sto vedendo, Alex! That's such a beautiful meeting, you really went for the best in terms of pizza alla romana. Roscioli it's a national treasure, watching his bakery creations it's almost moving
I didn’t now I was making Pizza Al Taglio for years. Always 80% hydration, always 18-24h proofing in the fridge, 300°C oven. And seasonal toppings from our garden. And it’s easy to adjust the number of baking trays to your growing kids and the number of guests. I’m really looking forward for any new ideas for our common family Saturday (!) dinner.
Omg , finally someone talking about pizza al taglio, I think in Rome we eat that 5 times as much as the round pizza , at least for me. I personally prefer it too.
Pizza al taglio is everything I ever wanted on pizza and the fact that you can just take different ones rather than have to eat just one pizza of one flavor. Its ADHD pizza eating ❤
why do i love videos by alex so much? because they are a cross between a cooking video/documentary/dramatic retelling of events. god does this video encapsulates like no other. in fact i messaged a good friend while watching this and i am planning a vacation to Italy over it.
I still haven't seen pizza with egg being a thing in most places. I had one from a French chef in Laos and it was incredible and I've been doing it at home ever since. Start baking the pizza, when there's about 4 minutes left for the pizza to finish crack an egg on top. You can mop up the egg yolk with the crust and it makes eating crust actually fun and tasty.
Alex, j’écoute tout tes vidéos, t’es vraiment impressionnant t’a filmographie est sublime. Je suis étudiant en génie mécanique au canada et t’a série de nouille était captivante. Merci pour tout c’est vidéos a travers des année t’es mon inspiration!
I really wish i could stop seeing ads about better help. I don't agree with their company practices, I do however understand the need for sponsorships to continue with quality videos, I'm just not a fan of deceptive marketing by the sponsering company itself. Nothing to do with who accepts their money, business is business. Keep up the good videos Alex. This is one I may actually try.
Alex: You go to a market and pick the ingredients? Pierluigi: No no, we just ask our farmers what they have available. Alex: Wow, you really are connected with the ingredients. I love how Alex can romanticise everything lol
@thomas77000retour it's a popular thing to do everywhere. It's just not every business does it because some business cater to different needs but restaurants working with local farmers is literally seen in every single place that has restaurants
@@thomas77000retour only on the lower quality. I will give you that there are places that compare to most of Europe have lower standard of quality for their lower end restaurants/fast food. However the fancy shit is the same rough quality no matter where you get it, China Europe Africa America etc.
That is a lie unless the shop is only open during harvest season. You can not grow year round crops in Europe the climate does not allow it. Unless????They are using hydroponic grown vegtables during the off season. I had a garden all 12 years I lived in Europe. I can rember how season food and fruits where. I can remeber before Avacado's caught on in Europe. I lived in Europe 1979 to 1991. I had a produce guy that came down the street in his truck ringing a bell. I had a beer guy that came to our house and picked up all the beer, juice and soda bottles and droped off new. It was nothing at all like the USA was during that time when you could get just about any fruit and vegtables fresh year round. So I think the owner is blowing smoke about the farmer comment unless his farmers are also importers importing from around the world and not actualy farming!
hi Alex, a popular Italian youtuber, Franchino er Criminale, made a whole vertical series about pizza al taglio in Rome. He practically tried all the pizzerie al taglio in Rome and did a Top 3 in the end. He also personally knows lots of pizzaioli that do this kind of pizza, so you might want to reach him out or watch his videos for references, But I think a video with you and him together would be the best for me ahahahah
I don't think he cares that much. He also literally asked people to decide which of two clickbait titles would be more effective before. good to mention it anyway, betterhelp is a scam.
@@L0op I think clickbait titles aren't huge issue in general, harsh truth is you get more views with them, everyone knows this, and I don't think Alex his titles stand out in this regard. Getting YT views is his job and this is the way to do it, it's the norm on YT. Monetizing people their mental health problems with such a questionable sponsor is a totally different thing, this really is shameful, in my opinion
@@rooster3103 well, the clickbait is certainly not as bad now as it was a couple months ago. I genuinely didn't want to click those videos, because the clickbait was so blatant. in the end he's trying to make money, and I can't blame him for that, but just taking any sponsor is not ok imo, as you said, it's shameful.
@@SkillSkull14 they employee very questionable "therapists" who conduct themselves very poorly, they sell a shit ton of your data, used the genocide in Palestine as a marketing tool to provide free therapy to the idf, etc. They're deplorable
@SkillSkull14 low quality employees. My fiance tried better help. Went through 3 different therapists, and all of the therapists seemed to just want to talk about themselves. Granted, this is anecdotal. But it is typically what makes every company bad
Never heard of Pizza Al Taglio before, so its kinda funny that's what the style of pizza i seem to make at home. Mine is made on a quarter sheet pan and is just enough for serving for one. So much easier and you can adapt to whatever "paint" you have on hand. looking forward to Alex's deeper dive into this.
If you are researching long pizza, you should look into "pide" from Turkish cuisine, which has varieties of its own such as Bafra Pide, Kapalı Pide (which is more like calzone), and so on. These are all pizza-like, but differ in the lack of tomato sauce, dough-type, and toppings.
We french have been making something similar since the 14th centuary called Pissaladière while the classic is onion and achovies you can add what ever base you want.
Alex , I am following in from a long time ago and my fav video is the carbonara. Now I am preparing my pizza shop in the heart of city of Sofia planing to do al taglio . I woke up and when I found your video on top of yt I was damn grab the ggs and eat watching this another masterpiece. Now Im fed and ready more motivated to go out and finish renovating to start. Thank uuu🎉❤
My nonna (from Agrigento, Sicily) used to make pizza and I thought this pizza looks pretty similar to hers. That is, the thicker crust pizza not the thinner one. That was the defining feature of her pizzas, the bread was so thick, as thick (if not thicker) than a typical sandwich. I loved it.
They also don’t vet their therapists very well and don’t hold them to the standard of actual medical care. Therapists can cancel appointments and refuse further counseling with no reason. Unfortunately a lot of youtubers/podcasters I follow seem to be under a long contract with them, constant ads.
Wonderful video. I'm lucky enough to live near The Wild Hearth Bakery which is based at Cultybraggan, an old WWII POW camp. Their oven is fired from wood waste from local timber operations & they specialise in sourdough. During the summer months they have pizza days. You pay a flat fee & they just keep bringing out huge long (5-6 feet long) pizzas like you show in the video. Their bakers go to town on topping & the pastry chef has cakes & pastries dotted about too. Last time I was there hot drinks were supplied by a mobile cafe that is a converted old Series Landrover. A great day out with stunning food & drink from two ethical & sustainable companies in what was once a very sad place from a darker time. I look forward to seeing how you progress with this new project. If nothing else we'll get to see some beautifully "jiggly" dough being worked. 🍕
Amazing vidoes Alex! Please 🙏 make a video how to make it at home. My wife is from Rome and you'd make us very happy :) I've been looking for a good recipe for a long time and it never turned out as good as in Rome and I believe with the right ingredients and process it can be. Every time we are in Rome pizza al taglio is the first food I get. Couldn't say it's better than napoletana, just different. The good thing about al taglio is that you can try multiple toppings in one sitting.
Pizza comes from Pita. It's Greek origin. The ancients, all up to the Byzantines, even today in Greece, made something similar to Pinsa, flat bread (pita) with vegetables (no tomatoes, since they weren't any). This type of Pizza reminds me very much of it. Especially the one with the eggplant.
Great video as always! I'm looking forward to seeing your new recipe in the next video - but it would also be interesting to see how you have made sheet pan pizzas before. The ones you made also look really stunning!
80% hydration dough, 24 hours fermenting. It's friday afternoon here and simply I cannot wait for the next episode, just because I'm also gonna try to make my own pizza al taglio tomorrow.
We stayed in the hotel right across the alley from Roscioli's place. What a wonderful neighborhood. And Luciano Cucina is just minutes away, another plus.
À côté de chez moi il y avait une échoppe dont les tenanciers étaient allé passer des mois à Rome pour apprendre à faire des pizze al taglio à pâte épaisse. Ils ont été ouverts plusieurs années, j'y allais régulièrement, leurs pizzas étaient vraiment ouf. Mortadelle-gorgonzola, speck ricotta, courgette-straciatella... maintenant ils ont fermé, mais ça restera clairement parmi les meilleures que j'ai jamais mangées, et ça a changé ma vision des pâtes épaisses. Cette vidéo me rappelle ces bons souvenirs !
The owner is so nice, welcoming and passionate! Really speaks to the love and pride he has for his craft! I always love when you get to meet these amazing people to help you alex! They're fantastic!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Maybe he accepted a bulk contract by betterhelp and if he backs out he'll receive a major penalty

Favorite youtube channel covering one of my favorite places I ever been to travelling.
Beautiful sunday thank you Alex !! We are ready for part 2
hi Alex, a popular Italian youtuber, Franchino er Criminale, made a whole vertical series about pizza al taglio in Rome. He practically tried all the pizzerie al taglio in Rome and did a Top 3 in the end. He also personally knows lots of pizzaioli that do this kind of pizza, so you might want to reach him out or watch his videos for references, But I think a video with you and him together would be the best for me ahahahah
Interagisco nella speranza che il tuo commento vada più su
He should definitely try Tiella.
The crossover we would love
I was thinking the same. A crossover with Franchino (and possibly Giulia) would be glorious
crossover pressochè improbabile, anche perchè franchino ha l'aria di non spiccicare manco mezza parola d'inglese.
J'ai vécu 5 ans là bas, merci Alex trop de souvenirs ...
Era il mio cibo preferito ...
Friends don’t let friends be sponsored by Better Help
Money goes brr :(
I don't think he cares that much. He also literally asked people to decide which of two clickbait titles would be more effective before. good to mention it anyway, betterhelp is a scam.
@@L0op I think clickbait titles aren't huge issue in general, harsh truth is you get more views with them, everyone knows this, and I don't think Alex his titles stand out in this regard. Getting YT views is his job and this is the way to do it, it's the norm on YT. Monetizing people their mental health problems with such a questionable sponsor is a totally different thing, this really is shameful, in my opinion
@@rooster3103 well, the clickbait is certainly not as bad now as it was a couple months ago. I genuinely didn't want to click those videos, because the clickbait was so blatant. in the end he's trying to make money, and I can't blame him for that, but just taking any sponsor is not ok imo, as you said, it's shameful.
@@L0op yea if it was really blatant I understand where you're coming from
I've been thinking about learning al taglio-style pizza as well for the exact same reason - good timing!
we need to stop partnering with better help. its really disappointing seeing good content creators partner with such a horrible company. please stop
Genuinely curious what’s wrong with better help
@@SkillSkull14 they employee very questionable "therapists" who conduct themselves very poorly, they sell a shit ton of your data, used the genocide in Palestine as a marketing tool to provide free therapy to the idf, etc. They're deplorable
@SkillSkull14 low quality employees.
My fiance tried better help. Went through 3 different therapists, and all of the therapists seemed to just want to talk about themselves.
Granted, this is anecdotal. But it is typically what makes every company bad
@@josephwilliams1915 i dont know if ive heard a single good thing about better help. only from creators trying to pedal them.
@@SkillSkull14I did 12 sessions with a great therapist. Sadly, he quit as his private practice blew up and he didn’t take my insurance.
Never heard of Pizza Al Taglio before, so its kinda funny that's what the style of pizza i seem to make at home. Mine is made on a quarter sheet pan and is just enough for serving for one. So much easier and you can adapt to whatever "paint" you have on hand. looking forward to Alex's deeper dive into this.
Better help? Really Alex?
Another video with Josh😊 Love hearing and seeing him again.
If you are researching long pizza, you should look into "pide" from Turkish cuisine, which has varieties of its own such as Bafra Pide, Kapalı Pide (which is more like calzone), and so on. These are all pizza-like, but differ in the lack of tomato sauce, dough-type, and toppings.
Very nice! Cool that your collaborators were in the video too. I liked the podcast with Josh. So nice to see him in the video!
We french have been making something similar since the 14th centuary called Pissaladière while the classic is onion and achovies you can add what ever base you want.
I like that the guy you interviewed was just straight to the point and every word he said just seemed like you needed to take notes.
Finally you have seen the light
I really liked seeing the team this video, it was fun and sweet, and really humanizes the video in a way I can't articulate very well.
Campaign to bring back the yellow bar for ad skipping purposes
Thank you Alex for this amazing video.I live in Hollywood,Florida,and we visited there, and enjoyed the food.Those pizzas look amazing!.Thank You.
Why tf are you stíll partnering with BetterHelp Alex!?!?!?
Contracts
Alex , I am following in from a long time ago and my fav video is the carbonara. Now I am preparing my pizza shop in the heart of city of Sofia planing to do al taglio . I woke up and when I found your video on top of yt I was damn grab the ggs and eat watching this another masterpiece. Now Im fed and ready more motivated to go out and finish renovating to start. Thank uuu🎉❤
Did you check Sicily? Every time I've had that style of pizza, it was called "Sicilian Pizza".
My nonna (from Agrigento, Sicily) used to make pizza and I thought this pizza looks pretty similar to hers. That is, the thicker crust pizza not the thinner one. That was the defining feature of her pizzas, the bread was so thick, as thick (if not thicker) than a typical sandwich. I loved it.
@@Jack93885 Ain't no way, I am also from Agrigento, your nonna made "sfincione" or "cudduruni" if it was without tomato. Cheers
Beautiful hi-def footage and sound! The pizza looks amazing.
Hate to do this Alex. I love your content. But I'm no longer watching any BetterHelp sponsored videos.
Why
Why?
I heard claims that BetterHelp accepted counselors without any checks into their backgrounds, and that seems to be accurate, at least when I looked.
12:03
La réaction et surtout le sourire, pour moi ça veut dire bcp de choses sur toi et ta chaîne
I guess Alex doesn't care that betterhelp sells sensitive customer data and continues to take their money, i suppose they pay really well
They also don’t vet their therapists very well and don’t hold them to the standard of actual medical care. Therapists can cancel appointments and refuse further counseling with no reason. Unfortunately a lot of youtubers/podcasters I follow seem to be under a long contract with them, constant ads.
That sounds terrifying.
Wonderful video. I'm lucky enough to live near The Wild Hearth Bakery which is based at Cultybraggan, an old WWII POW camp. Their oven is fired from wood waste from local timber operations & they specialise in sourdough. During the summer months they have pizza days. You pay a flat fee & they just keep bringing out huge long (5-6 feet long) pizzas like you show in the video. Their bakers go to town on topping & the pastry chef has cakes & pastries dotted about too. Last time I was there hot drinks were supplied by a mobile cafe that is a converted old Series Landrover. A great day out with stunning food & drink from two ethical & sustainable companies in what was once a very sad place from a darker time. I look forward to seeing how you progress with this new project. If nothing else we'll get to see some beautifully "jiggly" dough being worked. 🍕
Hey Alex, Better Help is a scam.
Alex you must do a Pizza Al Taglio series! love you videos man
Amazing vidoes Alex! Please 🙏 make a video how to make it at home. My wife is from Rome and you'd make us very happy :) I've been looking for a good recipe for a long time and it never turned out as good as in Rome and I believe with the right ingredients and process it can be. Every time we are in Rome pizza al taglio is the first food I get. Couldn't say it's better than napoletana, just different. The good thing about al taglio is that you can try multiple toppings in one sitting.
I like the shop owner because he wasn't stingy with information and explained it with passion. I will try this the next time I go to Rome.
Merci Alex, j’ai justement fais de la pizza pour les enfants today. So yummy
That was absolutely fascinating and informative as well!
The photography in your videos is always amazing!
I love you. I watch you ALWAYS and have for years....and this might be the BEST EVER. Amazing!
That crispy crunch sound!!! i had to stop and replay it. Ooooooh
I’ve been obsessed with pizza al taglio for the past 5 years, perfecting my own recipe. Glad to see it rising in popularity!
did you succeed
Look forward to this one getting reconstructed. Should be a. fun one Alex!
I havent been to this place exactly but did go to a similar one in Rome. It was the best Pizza experience of my life.
YES!!!! I relate to this. Tray bake pizza is king for the home cook!
Pizza comes from Pita. It's Greek origin. The ancients, all up to the Byzantines, even today in Greece, made something similar to Pinsa, flat bread (pita) with vegetables (no tomatoes, since they weren't any). This type of Pizza reminds me very much of it. Especially the one with the eggplant.
I’ve been cooking through the winter with my Ooni oven here in Quebec. Oui en dépit du froid!
I would like to start a petition for Josh being included in every single video, even if it's for just few seconds.
Love the man
Bon bah j'attends ta recette avec impatience. Cette fois-ci je vais me lancer 🤤
Great video as always! I'm looking forward to seeing your new recipe in the next video - but it would also be interesting to see how you have made sheet pan pizzas before. The ones you made also look really stunning!
80% hydration dough, 24 hours fermenting. It's friday afternoon here and simply I cannot wait for the next episode, just because I'm also gonna try to make my own pizza al taglio tomorrow.
Now I know what to order if ever I am in Rome! Thanks Alex!
can't wait to see your home version of this!
As an Italian who lives near and work in Rome and who grew up with pizze al taglio see an episode of Alex inside Roscioli it's just amazing
We stayed in the hotel right across the alley from Roscioli's place. What a wonderful neighborhood. And Luciano Cucina is just minutes away, another plus.
The kitchen scene was just.. *chefs kiss* (lol) meraviglioso!
À côté de chez moi il y avait une échoppe dont les tenanciers étaient allé passer des mois à Rome pour apprendre à faire des pizze al taglio à pâte épaisse. Ils ont été ouverts plusieurs années, j'y allais régulièrement, leurs pizzas étaient vraiment ouf. Mortadelle-gorgonzola, speck ricotta, courgette-straciatella... maintenant ils ont fermé, mais ça restera clairement parmi les meilleures que j'ai jamais mangées, et ça a changé ma vision des pâtes épaisses. Cette vidéo me rappelle ces bons souvenirs !
