Damn it, Dave. With a place like this, you damn well know you need to order it how you like it if it’s that good. It’s too good of an opportunity with being such a rare spot. You might as well have said “make it how you usually do” and they added pepperoni. You need to rate it on their potential and give them a second chance if it’s in the realm of a top 10 spot
Very true. They even said "It comes with parmesan", and he still said yes! If they said "It comes with pepperoni", he woulda said "No pepperoni." That pizza looks so goddamn good hes gotta do it again
How is it that the most popular pizza reviewer in the US can't stomach a pizza that isn't a basic cheese without garlic or parmesan? Why is he so popular? He has the palette of a 10 year old.
I can settle this for sure..New Haven has great pizza but really just one style and maybe a half dozen killer spots..Brooklyn on the other hand has so many great pizza spots, from Sicilian squares (L&B, Ginos, Davinci, etc) To Slices Luigis,Difara, Roberta's, etc, To pies, Tottono, Patsys,Lucali, Grimaldi, etc..
@@ryne6309 I’ve only had pepe’s from new haven and it’s way over hyped. Can’t speak for the other new haven places but Brooklyn pizza over pepe’s any day of the week.
Just for fun, I'd like to see Dave go back in and order a pie to his liking, meaning cooked a little longer and without the parmesan and give another score. Again, just for fun but I wonder if it would still be in the eights or would it be in the low nines
The man is biased on his score scale. It’s not fair for him to tell the store to “do it how you usually do” and then forbid to go higher because “it’s not his style.” There’s even some situations where he can’t score an 8 because it’s not his style like wtf

Honestly, Dave doesn't realize that **every** NY, NJ, NH top flight pizzeria dusts every pie with Romano - a stronger but similar cheese like Parmesan.
Giuseppina’s is owned by the brother of the owner of Lucali’s. People say it’s basically the exact same pizza - but looks like they don’t put the basil on top of theirs.
While ordering server asked: "Do you want Parmesan added?" Dave: "Do it your usual way." Dave while eating:"I don't like Parmesan! If only there was a way they could have made it without Parmesan."🙄 😂😂😂
Imagine owning a Pizza shop/restaurant and having Dave lower your score from a possible 9.1 to an 8.1 because you decided to add your own personal "take on Pizza" by adding extra parmesan/garlic seasoning... holy shit. 🤦♀️🙄
Then again people are idiots if they base pizza solely on what this guy says. Go and try them all on your own. Ones mans trash is another mans treasure.
As far as I know, Mark from Lucali and the owner of Giuseppina's are related. When Giuseppina's first opened it was a clone of Lucali's pizza (without the loooooong waits) but it's changed a bit so that it is no longer identical.
Not everyone likes soggy floppy droopy undercooked pizza crusts and dough. You shouldnt have to fold the tip of the pizza in because its drooping all over the place. I mean if that's your thing go for it but dont shit on other people who like well done crust that holds and supports the toppings.
@@bobstoner415 to be fair, Dave still has no idea what he's talking about after thousands of reviews. he grew up in Boston where there isn't a single slice as good as this place, nevermind a slice that even breaks into the 7's on a normal scale. he has a handicapped palette. one that doesn't like garlic. I mean, that's just fucked up shit lol
@@stackered ok again, im not directing my comment at this pizza place. The original comment was mocking dave for telling a pizza place how long to cook their pizza. The issue is, people enjoy pizza different than other people. All im saying is, shut the hell up and let people enjoy their pizza the way they want. If you tell the place to cook it well done, as a patron they should honor your request because you enjoy your pizza cooked more than they do.
That is my old neighborhood. I lived on 6th. Ave between 19th. & 20th. Street. Guisepinnas use to be the neighborhood pool room and right down the block is Luigi’s pizza on 5th. Ave.
The owner of Giuseppinas is actually Mark Iacono’s brother if I’m not mistaken. Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure I saw that in a video years ago.
If the taste was really that sharp it was probably pecorino, not parmesan but how would i know.. either way this seems like it would be a 9 for me that parm/garlic combo is the best
I had a New York slice before, I wasn't impressed. It wasn't bad but wasn't anything special. Of course, they say Peter Luger and Katz are amazing too and neither were great.
I feel like your a very humble man I. Can tell by the way you treat People I watch you from Hamilton Ontario everyday I always feel good after I watch you wish you would do a Canadian version

@@letsgomets002 actually, if you look at the menu, it's a "cheese pizza" which is what dave orders every time. he doesn't know the difference between parm and pecorino and pecorino is the much stronger cheese which is what he's tasting.
The guy who owns this place is Marc Iaccanos Brother. So Lucali and this spot are brothers. Majority of people who have them say it’s the same pizza. Same prices, preparation and ingredients.
No one that has both thinks they are similar. Giussepina's is fantastic but it is certainly not in the same tier as Lucali. Lucali is just special, the sauce is noticeably different, the oven has such a different effect in Lucali, and the basil is markedly better at Lucali. I think they source the same cheese though which is the expensive parts of both pizzas according to Mark
He was asked if he wanted the parm-heavy form, said yes, then docked them because Dave doesn't like parmagian too much? Frankly, if he'd taken the regular style, and kept it in the oven 1 or two minutes longer, it's a "historic" 9.2. Totally botched review. You could see it's top-tier pizza. I understand the policy of rating whatever they give him, how it's given, but Dave asked for the wrong pizza. For elite pizzerias Dave to be fair Dave should apply his custom of reviewing their standard as well as specialty style. We'd have had a 9+ pizza for sure. Since Dave made the error of asking for the "parm" slice, he should fix it and go back. If this place really makes a 9+ pizza, they deserve recognition, and we fans deserve to know about it. Dave, redeem you error!
@@rh6696 he tests the pizzaz however they serve to the general customers base. if you start tweaking, do this do that, the reviews don't mean much. grow up
Parmesan and garlic should always viewed as extras when it comes to pizza. If I had ordered this without knowing, I would have been so disappointed to the point of returning it. Totally with Dave on this one..
"Looks heavy", "tastes light"," "I don't even know what parmesan looks like", everybody knows Dave is not exactly a food connoisseur

Once he attacks the crust and back to the front with two more bites, almost finishing the slice, it will be a solid one.

It looks light to the point of a good Margherita pie, almost. I like a good deal of pizza garlic on my pizza so I'd probably love it.

Brooklyn and New Haven could have a serious war on who makes the best pizza. 💪💪💪
Brooklyn wins easily
If the taste was really that sharp it was probably pecorino, not parmesan but how would i know.. either way this seems like it would be a 9 for me that parm/garlic combo is the best
would imagine this an 8.6+ anywhere.
I've had both, they are both very different pizzas, Even so, this pizza is much closer to a 9 than an 8.
Yep he said oh wow! Twice got to try
That kid that yelled at him about his godfathers place deserves a free pizza. Remember Prez said wow twice. 9.1 I like garlic 👍
