How to Make Neapolitan Pizza at Home | Wood-Fired vs. Pizza Stone
Neapolitan pizza is the Holy Grail of pie, but making it requires a blazing hot wood-fired oven...right? In today's video, Eva and I get experimental. The mission? To see how close we can come to making real, Neapolitan-style pizza in a conventional oven.
Got an idea for an experiment we should try? Let us know if the comments below!

The architect: "We will build this house with this wood oven. Not for bread. Not for us. But for a time in the far future. A woman...Eva shall she be called. Eva will come and use it for its true purpose: the perfect pizza."
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's such a great and nice thing to say. VIVA Eva! and Harper.
Such a fairytale oven...
That wood oven was put in the house hundred years ago, waiting for an Italian woman to use it properly 😂 buon anno ragazzi
The house was just waiting for her =)
Auguri!!! 😂

Recipe for the sauce? :) Pretty please?
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 www.pastagrammar.com/post/how-to-make-neapolitan-pizza-at-home its in the recepe, is basically just pure tomato sauce with oil and salt, plain and simple
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 PURE tomato puree, salt, olive oil. THATS IT. Nothing added.( I am a good student of Eva!)!
smoke the dough when it is cold. Smoke prefers to adhere to colder things.
I learned this by making bbq and that is now why I put my meat in the smoker cold.
The best pizza I ever had was on a Sunday evening in Cisternino, not far from Locorotondo and Martina Franca. The owner was not happy with the first one so made a second for free! I sat in the square watching families promenading together as that is what they do in that part of the world. I miss southern Italy.
Thank you for sharing this lovely memory...
Harper: This pizza is good.
Eva: I made this pizza.
Me: nods!
I often hear from non-Italian people that pizza is junk food. Ok, guys, as far as Neapolitan and Italian pizza in general is concerned: this is false, because Neapolitan pizza is as good as it is healthy. OK?
Your pizza is not healthy, ours is one of the seven wonders of the world😋.
Well, we have heavier flavor of pizza
@@ValerioGiganteGiga At most I want onion and porcini mushrooms on pizza, oltre non vado. Quest'estate vado a Napoli e lì vado di margherita. Patatine e wurstel sulla pizza oltre i 10 anni di età è indice di mancanza di sviluppo cognitivo delle papille gustative 😂.
I agree, real pizza (as the ones we saw here) is the healthiest thing in the world
I agree. Pizza and it's more normal state is very healthy for a person.
Home made pizza is the healthiest food in the world, whether you are lucky enough to have a wood fire or not.
Almost 100k subscribers! I'm so proud of you guys! 🇮🇹🇺🇸
❤️🇮🇹🇺🇸🙌
Great job guys. As someone who does a lot of home oven pizzas, here are some tips to get closer to a Neapolitan pizza:
1. Preheat the stone on highest heat for 1hr on the top rack.
2. Cook the pizza with just sauce for the first 3 min to cook the base
3. Add your cheese and switch to broil for the last 3 min. The broil function and cooking on top rack will help char the top and cook the ingredients
Good luck and love your vids!
That's weird to me. I thought that the stone would cool off quickly, no?
By the way, do you know what makes those big bubbles? My first serious attempt was underwhelming, because it didn't have big bubbles, and because of other reasons.
Hey Harper and Eva, heres a tip! If you ever make pizza in the oven then use a pizza steel not a stone as its more conductive hence heat transfer faster also make sure you heat the steel or stone to the hottest temperature that your oven can go for a full hour as pizza stones and steels are very dense and heavy and take a lot of time to heat up. Hope this tip helps you all :D
I built a wood-fired pizza oven in my backyard just so I can make Neapolitan pizza.
You can make also bread and cook things like chiken an potatoes o sausages... you will discover a really different taste
I got a Roccbox pizza oven as an impulse buy splurge for the black friday sale this year, but I have yet to get the propane for it and other accessories that I need to get for it to make my first pizza (laser thermometer and folding table). I am a little nervous I’m going to get in trouble though, because we aren’t supposed to have any barbecue type stuff on our patios in my apartment complex, but I am going to risk it since our landlord no longer lives on site haha. 🤫
@@anti-ethniccleansing465
Ahah that's the true american soul: don't give up :) I'm sure that you will do well.
I want one of those ovens so bad
Ooni Koda 16 is also a fantastic oven and I’ve become very popular in my neighborhood. But you have to know how to make the dough.
In France, we have a song called "Les mains d'une femme dans la farine" and it says : Dieu que c'est beau les mains d'une femme dans la farine!" = Lord, how beautiful it is to see a woman's hands in flour! I think this song was written for Eva! 😊Love your videos!❤
Mercì!!! 🇫🇷🇮🇹🇺🇸
I love Pasta Grammer!
I highly recommend a baking steel, a lot more thermally conductive than a stone. Great video btw, I’m addicted to this channel!
Disagree. You’re supposed to preheat the stone. Ceramics as poor conductors store more heat and cook more evenly. Metals don’t store any heat and immediately transfer everything which leads to burnt bottoms and raw tops. You’re better off just putting the dough on parchment paper and putting that directly on the rack. That’s why you preheat the stone for no less that 45 minutes. That’s preheat oven and then 45 minutes for the stone. Better to go a whole hour.
“If you want the best possible chance at creating a pizza with the black-spotted crust of a brick-oven Neapolitan pie, the ⅜-inch-thick Original Baking Steel is your best bet. It conducts heat better than any ceramic stone we tested, yielding pizzas with dark and puffy crusts. “ www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-pizza-stone-and-baking-steel/
Can you say"Cast iron"
Thanks to you Eva, I can now make homemade pizza that rivals a pizzeria at home in my oven. I followed your 2 day recipe step by step. All I can say is WOW! Best pizza crust ever!! I mean EVER!!! This will henceforth be my go-to pizza recipe. Hey guys, love this channel, love the videos! Keep 'em coming!!!
The funny thing is that Gordon Ramsey is 100% positive he’s a great chef.
Yeah I bet he didn't even earn those michelin stars
@@SteelJumpa from what I understand, to earn a Michelin star, it’s the whole thing, not just the food, but the staff, cleanliness, etc. So since we see him obsessing about restaurants being clean, and him spending time coming up with different variations of foods, it makes sense as to why he and his restaurants have those Michelin stars. There was a Japanese chef who lost his 2 or 3 star rating, he committed suicide. It’s difficult to get that star, but easy to lose it. I think Ramsay lost one of his stars once.
Gordon Ramsey is an over salting hack
Yes he is an fench cuisine chef, but absoluty not an Italian chef and a things he has to stay away from
@@jerryhatrick5860 surprisingly I have learned a lot from him. And my cooking has improved.
I’ll bet Eva was sold on that home the second she laid her eyes on that wood burning oven!! That first pizza was exactly like the pizza I’ve had in Naples. Lucky you 👏
As the Crazy Russian Hacker always used to say in his videos, "Safety is Number One Priority!"
My first thought when they put on goggles 😁
Lol
Welcome to my laboratory

Being a New Yorker for over 45 years I’ve had all kinds of pizza and have had pizza made with coal fired oven which is actually hotter than a wood fired oven. The results were tasty indeed.
Best pizza in the world is from NYC by far....yes better than Naples!!!!
@@letsgomets002 That's like comparing chicken to turkey. Yes, both are birds with feathers and eggs, but two completely different animals.
@@letsgomets002 say sorry to your grandparents..

@@letsgomets002 Funny!😂
Stop drinkin’ now man ... The result on you is insane🤪
Honestly that pizza dough looks genuinely absolutely amazing. Really impressive.
I love all the content of your channel! It's wonderful how you make it light and fun yet packed with knowledgeable information (sans cockiness). Very entertaining and inspiring!
Best pizza on earth in Naples. Had a deep fried ripieno, that utterly changed my life. I love Naples and Napolitani. Great job Eva and Chef Alfredo/Harper. 😎
Well, first off, I might need to buy that house ya got there - second, both ways had me salivating for pizza, third... you guys are just adorable and a joy to watch ❣️💫
Neapolitan pizza is a gift from the gods. American pizza is junk food. Bravo Eva another success.
Best way to cook pizza, wood fired oven. My nonno was a baker in Italy. That’s what he used. And Italian bread is the best in the world. And their beer too. 👍❤️👍🇬🇧
I do 5 minutes on the bottom rack at 500 (oven preheated for at least 45 mins) with just tomato sauce. Then add cheese and basil and put back in to broil on top rack for between 90 secs and 2 mins
Original Italian Pizza : healthy
America's Pizza : junk food
Stop. We have some amazing pizza here. If it wasn't for America, pizza would not be famous around the world.
@@alhollywood6486 ehm...
@@alhollywood6486 that’s not the point, pizza is considered junk food around the world cause you made it with garbage ingredients, but in reality it’s one of the healthiest and complete meal we have, just put normal tomato sauce, mozzarella and olive oil.
@@alhollywood6486 no one wanted it to be famous ahaha.
American pizza may taste acceptable, but it is unhealthy
@@francesco8320 that is my point. Do you thinkj it would be as popular as it is if it were still Neopolitan style? You can bask in the worldwide popularity, but please don't be so arrogant as to ignore what the world has done to make it their own.
And by the way, where did tomatoes come from?
congrats on 100k subs guys! :D
Thank you!
I made your recipe and i experienced a familiar memory of my Mother's pizza, the taste and the wonderful crispness of the outer dough with the most wonderful airy texture inside. I was born in Italy & came to USA when I was 2, never saw my mother make it and I've tried so many recipes, I finally have what I been missing. I absolutely thank you for posting this amazing recipe and technique . grazie, ti mando tanti abbracci
That looks soo good.
That looks really delicious 🤤
I've seen almost all the videos of your channel in a day. I adore you!
This is the best recipe that i found. Thank you very much!
THis may seem strange, but when I saw the pizza from the wood oven, with the burnt edges, I could actually 'taste' it in my memory of previous wood oven pizzas...SOOOO good!
Me too!
Y'all should try out grilled pizza (when the weather is warmer of course) to see if it comes closer to the real thing! I figure the smokiness and char are easier to get with one of those
We will!!!
@@PastaGrammar My dad used to grill pizza pretty regularly when I was younger, and the big thing I noticed was that it tended to end up with a thin, crispy cracker-like crust.
Why wait? You may not be able to sit out with it but coal grill works just as good on a cold day.
How can you not love these two guys!
You guys are always making me hungry! And that's a good thing! Blessings to you both!❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
OMG. This is the ultimate pizza experiment. I want a wood-fire oven 😲
My pizza recipe: turn oven on bake at highest setting. Put only tomato sauce on the pizza and slide it onto the stone (I use a tile from home depot) and bake until just turning brown.
Remove the pizza, turn the oven to broil and add cheese and toppings. Slide the pizza back in and cook until browned.
always a pleasure to watch your videos every week. you two are such a lovely couple, and your content is always funny to watch, and a joy to listen too. Love from the UK
Always very enjoyable to watch u guys. Very entertaining
I love your content so much, when you prebacke the dough only with the sauce its acctualy kind of close to a neapolitian Pizza
I envy you that old brick oven! I like to cook historic recipes and would love to have a brick oven to play with; things taste so different when baked in an electric oven ...
You two are BRILLIANT!
Listen kids. You are amazing doing these videos restoring respect to ancient italian cuisine wisdom. The fact that Americans(from the USA only) i am an American too from South America that still American continent😂😂😂. The Americand label everything and DO NOT ACCEPT what they name and dezcribe to be legaly used as some other kind of use, that is stupid knowing that a BRAD OVEN is called just a firewood oven to cook everything in the other 200 plus countries in this planet. I Paraguay they build portable brick firewoid ovens on wheels to be delivered worldwide. So dont let anyone here believe the woodfire ovens have a name to be used. Once you own one you use it as wtf you want. For the honor of our Italian heritage. ❤❤❤
OMG that wood-fired pizza looks sooooo good - it's 6am here in Chicago and I just want to grab that pizza and shove it in my face! Damn, I am suddenly STARVING! You guys totally rock that food.
They must not have seen Alex the French Guy's efforts 😂
I admit I didn’t understand why Eva doesn’t like American style pizza, until I made her recipe. Holy Smokes! It is so good! I love the simplicity of tomato, cheese and fresh basil. I love American pizza but it is a different taste experience with all the herbs, garlic, toppings and stringy cheese. I don’t have a pizza oven, so I used a pizza stone on our Big Green Egg smoker grill. It worked perfectly. Nice charred crust, crispy on outside but still chewy.
Thank you for the recipe. Keep up the good work. My husband and I love your channel.
I absolutely LOVE Eva!!!!!
Americans: puts pineapple on pizza
Italians: Italian war begins
add some ham n Jalapeño
No pineapple added in the tri-state of New York City area.
Has cloning been perfected at this point? If so I'll take a Eva clone to go. Oh My, can she cook.
Well clones just create what is essentially a biological identical twin. It’s very common in livestock agriculture now and it doesn’t have any problems. The only problem for you is you start with an infant who has to grow up and learn things and I’m guessing you want more of an actual copy of adult Eva not just a clone.

Ho da poco scoperto questo canale, è davvero divertente!
Un grosso augurio di buon anno nuovo e complimenti 😊
Auguri!!!
I've been learning how to make Neopolitan every Saturday for last month, getting better each time. Using Italian tinned tomatoes, Tipo00, good mozzarella - ingredients are key! Getting decent results using a cast iron pan which I hammer on the biggest gas hob to get as hot as it can - but as you say, will never do the job of a proper wood fired oven. Maybe need to build one in garden - but Scotland doesn't really have weather for it! Has to be overnight prove in fridge as well and make sure dough back to room temperature before working! Love your videos!
You can cut the amount of yeast if you want to do a room temp proof. If you bring it down to 1 gram active dry or 2 grams fresh yeast for 1 kilo flour.
i make pizza on a stone in my bbq grill. i get that smokey flavor and the heat. next time try that. blessings
It looks delicious... Grazie ❤️🍕
One trick I use to make the crust a bit darker in a conventional oven is to blind bake the dough for a few minutes so that it can hold its own shape, then put the sauce and toppings on before putting it back in the oven again. By doing this, you give the dough a bit of a head start cooking, but more importantly, the dough is now firm enough that you can place it directly on the oven rack without needing a pan under it. It also helps the bottom brown better if you don't happen to have a pizza stone.
I don't have a pizza stone, but I have pizza steel - and it gets really hot. I find it gets hotter than the pizza stone and gives a good crust. But nothing can compare to a wood fired oven. Happy new year🍾
@Trude: You have to remember that the steel gives bread/pizza crust a different texture than stone. My friend has a pizzeria nearby ((he's from Bari)), and his oven is steel plated instead of stone. I owned, and worked in pizzeria's for over 25 years, and have my own home family recipe's. Steel's essentially fry the dough. Stones actually bake them. :)
I have one, too.
The broiler method seems to work with char around the crust,still can't get bottom to char.
They have a stove top steel, so possibly that would help?
IDK, but it sounds exhausting if you have to make it for more than two people.
@@GG-qg2iu You can use a cookie sheet, or a cast iron pan :)
@@RDrakeSans1 great idea!
I just bought blue steel pans for making Detroit style pizza.
I thought about inverting and using as an extra steel.
@@GG-qg2iu Right on!!! :D
The oldest pizza oven is near Bari and it was made in 1842. The bread from there is amazing and the oven is still operational today.
Tantissimi Auguri di Buon Anno..Siete fantastici!!!
Grazie a tanti auguri anche a te!
Another adorable video. Thank you
I am never satisfied with what the home oven produces. So envious of your wood oven 😭
Maybe smoked mozzarella would satisfy your craving for that smoked flavor. I'm going to try it.
What a nice coppel of people! Morten from Norway love you two!
I’m early! Happy new year and keep the vids coming!
Happy new year!!!
Do not mention pineapple on pizza when an Italian woman has scissors in her hand 😉
Correct...She Might snip off the Pineapples!
Or even if she has long nails.
Lol
Not far from real life. An Italian YT channel (Fanpage, maybe?), a couple of years ago planned a social experiment which went viral, here: delivering Hawaiian pizza to Neapolitans. That was so good.
@@luissorsini I remember that. I posted it on Facebook and tagged my Italian cousins. I asked them what their thoughts were and it was sacrilegious. Lol.
For the smoking you might have put some small shavings of cherry wood in a container below the stone🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰
Bumbo Chinelo - What about liquid smoke? Or use smoked mozzarella?
Congratulations on 100k subs!! 🎉🎉
The crunch of the crust sounds so goooooooood😊🍕
I love the pineapple comment! As much as I'm totally down for some rustic Italian pizza, I do love me some pineapple on pizza.
Yeah, I’m prepared to make a run from the scissors with pineapple on my pizza occasionally🤣 But, the original remains tops 💫❣️
The trick to get the char is to turn the broiler on for the last minute or two. You must be very careful with this it can char very quickly. Also a convection oven helps with the charring
I do that on mine too!
You guys are awesome...love all your videos
Thank you!
Access to real authentic homemade Neapolitan pizza in the hands of a skilled chef. That's a great life.
I'd love to see you guys try some other pizza variants to get Eva's reaction (Chicago, Detroit, St Louis, etc). You could also follow up with improving the recipes if they aren't hits.. :)
Just warn her that Chicago pizza isn’t really pizza. Too much of everything and the crust is more like biscuit dough. There’s a thin crust sausage pizza that’s made in Chicago that’s made by Italian/Americans using raw sausage which is interesting.
For round two of the experiment, try a wood chip smoker like you would find for a gas grill, they have a bunch on Amazon. It would give you smoke during the cooking process, unlike the one you used which is better for cocktails ;)
Or wood chips, wrapped in foil, started over the open flame of the stove (like when one chars peppers), then tossed on the oven rack under the one that supports the pizza stone or steel.
The could also do their smoking step that they did in the video during the proofing of the dough.
Belisimo!!!!! I just bought a wood oven, studied sooo much! Bought flour from Italy! We just put our oven together! ❤️ Gratzi!!!
OMG!!!! The pizza looks great!
They was a Seinfeld episode where Kramer wanted people to make their own pizzas and Jerry told him they would get burned
Lol you cannot-a put a cua-cumber on da pizza...love how there's a Seinfeld for every situation! Cheers!
I think you need to add a smoker that would be in the oven during the cooking process itself
Stoke up the bbq with wood, light it up , throw the stone on... let the coals become just right, and it’s pizza ON❣️
Love you, guys!
Congrats for the effort! Eva is really talented!
so..Harper got two pizzas to eat. He wins.
I thought you were going to add some liquid smoke to the dough.
You two are brilliant...
Absolutely love the Ren and Stimpy quote! Beaker was awesome also 😁 keep up the great videos!!!!
Harper: What if we add just a little bit of pineapple?
Eva: What if we add just a little bit of American WIENER? 😈
Harper: okok, sorry.

Omg yes! I go to school in Montclair. Will definitely try. In love with your channel btw!
brandish scissors at assertion of pineapple 😅
Pineapple on pizza is apostasy!
It can be really good. Just a bit of very small pineapple pieces paired with something tart or spicy to balance it out. Like pepperoncini, or maybe jalapeno.
Where did you found eva? She's perfect.
Thank you! ❤️
Harper's parents organized the meeting!
Another good one! Happy New Year!

I don't know how many videos I've watched but the constant here is Eva always eating her man alive with her eyes, how cute
She really let me down by not stabbing him when he suggested pineapple.
