    Nice video and we'll definitely try them out. Blazing Bagels is just south of them and excellent too. I'd say our favorite pizza in Seattle (not NY style at all) is Rocco's in Belltown. Hand tossed, locally sourced ingredients, killer bar to boot. They do slices and half and half pies. Get the half Fungi pizza with truffle oil finish and come back often.

    The best NY style pizza I've ever had is Brooklyn Bros in Everett. My wife used to live in Manhattan, and she said that pizza tasted exactly like it was made in NY.

    Kenji, have you tried Hot Mama's Pizza off Pine and Boylston? It's nostalgic dining for my wife and me, from when we used to live in Capitol Hill several years ago. I highly recommend their green pesto slices!

    That pizza looks delicious. Here in Providence RI, when I was young everyone I knew made Sicilian style pizza no matter what part of Italy your family came from. My family came from Naples, Foggia and Abruzzo, but my mother and grandmothers made Sicilian style.

Hot Mama's on cap hill isn't too shabby, neither is Belltown Pizza or ROCCO'S... Just depends on your personal taste in sauce, crust, and baking styles.

      @wawooweewah4533 Рік тому +14

      Shame on Kenji if he did that, labeling people as racist or disliking them because of a political perspective is un-American. It’s also arrogant to think that you can completely understand a person and their perspective or actions based on things you hear or read. This isn’t a criminal we’re talking about it’s a sports guy, why would his or a chefs political perspective matter enough to try to stop an event from happening like that. I like Kenjis cooking videos but I could tell there is a bit of arrogance when he claims to invent recipes or techniques that existed already just because he put them in a magazine.

    I'm judging on the plain slice as i don't like Sicilian style... the crust on the plain slice didn't crack and it didn't have those nice toasted marks on the bottom... and they're from California 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾 they're more than likely A holes then and should've stayed in California with the rest of em! Overall, this video didn't convince me.
