  • True Italian pizza is thin crust with a little cheese, tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and herbs&spices (note the lack of Tomato sauce).

    At least that's the way they served it the last time I was in Italy almost 20 years ago.

    Americanized Pizza came later, but forms the image and result of what pizza is across most places in the world.

    So it comes down to the concept of pizza, or pizza as we know it today.

    Runny,

    Try a pizza with a pesto base (instead of tomato sauce).

    let us know what you think.

  • haha! Runny LOVES pizza so much, how stinking cute.

  • im not american but i like the american pizza the best, but i dont like italian pizza that much. they have thin buttom and not even that much meat and stuff. :/ but im in love with italy though .

  • As I'm italian of 'course I'd say italian pizza is the best!But I think that everyone has its own judgement about their taste,especially when it comes to pizza!

    About the origins of this mythological dish,it's to say that a previous varieties of pizza we now know as it is was cooked by the ancient romans and greeks too. Of course they didn't have tomatoes or potatoes, but, you know, pizza's toppings could be almost everything that comes to your mind...just enjoy it!xD

  • u just had a foodgasm hahahah it made me smile cuz i always have foodgasms :D

  • Hehehe, Runny, watching you bite in the pizza one can really see how much you enjoy it!

    Pizza still very expensive at your place?

  • New York style pizza is the best, in my opinion.

  • If you come in Italy I offer you the real Italian pizza

    La vera è pizza è esclusivamente italiana, il resto è solo un surrogato.

  • Technically pizza is ancient, using flatbread as a trencher and serving cheese on it? 1st century CE texts reference it, and in some instances a similar word. The modern concept of tomatoes, herbs, and cheese which would later evolve into tomato sauce started supposedly began with Pizza Margherita, which some other people already brought up.

    Oh, one more detail,Pizza Hut is actually a poor example of American pizza. To get a good example you need to make it yourself or hit a real pizzeria.

  • I think pizza is from Italy. I saw so many people talking about sushi, sushi is from china, but Japanese move to japan, so it became Japanese food

  • la pizza fatta nella mia italia è meglio ^ ^ è deliziooooooosa * *

  • @Angela1996Elle specie a napoli!! mozzarella di bufala non vaccina!

  • Pizza is from Italy. I personally liked the American pizza one. :)

  • its from italy, but america perfected it.

  • @EWGFus3r america transformed a fabulous recipe into a circle covered with garbage.

  • @YogDodoth Not all garbage. Some stuff that I imagine people order would be garbage. The major problem with americanized version of pizza is that it has a large mount of calories per slice.The addition of multiple types of cheeses, meats and the use of the most fattening oils does not help. The dough itself is mostly craptastic ingredients full of calories. So remember, if you for some reason happen to eat pizza from most pizza places in the US. Eat as few slices as possible.

  • Sushi is Korean? Japanese? I ate sushi in Seoul for the first time about 6 yars ago and it was so good but always wonder who invented first O.O

  • Pizza is one of the reasons why I love Italy so much... asides from the natural beauty, Tiziano Ferro and the history♥♥. And pizza is also one of the reasons why I love Chicago so much, but NY also has good pizza~

  • You know how they make hot dogs? If you will know.. you will not eat it anymore XD

  • Legend has it that the pizza was created by a cook to save his life made​a deal with the Queen Margaret that if he made​a dish with all three colors of the Italian flag and the food was delicious would have saved his life. The fine of course won the challenge = D

  • You ear very gooooood!! おなかがへた〜

  • is sushi from Japan or America ?

  • ..but ..have you EVER eaten the REAL pizza? in Italy? in Naples? you should try it! you may change your idea ..and also, the Italian pizza it's not only Pizza Margherita! there are many types of pizza: diavola, quattro stagioni, capricciosa, viennese, margherita doc. (only in Naples) and so on! come to Italy and try it, you'll not regret it! :D

  • @simo92bd REAL pizza was made in New York city REAL pizza uses tomato sauce + cheese on a large circular crust with toppings. In Italy pizza can come in different shapes, normally dont have tomato sauce, more vegetables and olive oil and usually aren't as large. They are two different beasts and being an italian born living in america i must admit AMerican pizza is much more satisfying

  • Italian pizza is the best <3

  • PIZZA IS FROM NAPLES!!!!!

  • are you joking man?! Pizza is from ITALY, good god!!

  • you need to eat a Chicago deep dish, layer upon layer of deliciousness

  • you should try deep dish pizza, where the toppings and cheese are the 1st, 2nd layers and the sauce is on top

  • I don't care what pizza is for you, in Italy you can find the true pizza, all the others aren't pizza, just imitations. Pizza is from Italy, even if you think that the american copy is better. I could think that a fiat 500 is better than a Ferrari, but the Ferrari is really better.

  • @MassaxAlex Italiens have stolen pizza from the greek but the italien made it better n popular...

  • I'm sorry, but being italian, maybe im biased, but Italian, REAL italian, the kind your grandmother makes, fresh from the oven. IS THE BEST, not the shitty oily crappy pizza you get at a fast food restaurant.

  • italian pizza is the faking best pizza ever...americans made pizza a junk food...

  • @BONECRUSHER231 dont pull that card if i go to italy i get this thin shitty slice that taste like cardboard then u'll say well thats not authentic pizza from italy EVERYONE SAYS THE SAME FUCKIN THING

  • AND ITALIAN PIZZA IS NASTY AMERICAN PIZZA IS TEH SHIT

  • @Immortalis7771

    I like the pizza we have in sweden. I guess it's kind of a mix between the two

  • OLDEST RECORD OF PIZZA IS FROM FUCKIN NAPLES

  • It's Italian of course, lol.

  • pizza originated in italy, but america made it way better... the us is where its at!

  • ITALY but I dont knowwhy americans copy the italian wierd ? Italy italy italy

  • Not trying to be weird or invasive, but how old is Runny? He looks so young! XD

  • That's a normal thickness in America. Deep dish is a lot thicker.

  • Pizza Originated in my belly :3

  • Pizza Originated in Italy. X3

  • ahh i'm craving pizza just from the way you eat it.

  • As an Italian, I definitely prefer the Italian pizza. But it's not just a matter of taste to me.. the american style pizza is really fatty, unlike the italian one which is waaaaaaaay healthier :P

  • Comparing the two that you had, I would also choose the American style. It looked so much more filling and delicious :)

  • pizza is from korean.

    you should search [true origin of pizza]

  • Cheese pizza and ranch dressing. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm... Yum. :)

  • Authentic Napoli (from Naples) is AMAZING. Forget about American pizza and make a beeline for whatever authentic Napoli pizzeria you can find. YUM

  • lol the origins of pizza is almost as bad as Amazon's "one click purchase button" patent. It's bread and tomato sauce, I mean the cave men probably had pizza's huts back in the day. : )

  • Runnyrunny999: Can you see it?

    Me: Yes I can.

  • First you should try the real Authentic pizza from Italy, only then you can give your thoughts about it.

  • pizza is original from italy but its become popular because of america spread about it to this world..but the best pizza is from italy :) i think...

  • eating italian pizzas IN italy or not makes a big difference!

    pizzas IN italy... is insanely good. if you love pizza that much, you should travel over to italy just for pizza, that's what i would do, cuz i love em so much :D

  • Great man! i got hungry!

  • There's a pizza place in the town where I live that serves extremely good pizzas. The pizza they serve is the New York style pie typical of my area, but they have authentic Italian pizza for sale as well. Both varieties of the pizza the place sells are REALLY delicious. If you ever come here to America for pizza, stop by NYC and/or it's metropolitain area for the good stuff.

  • As an Italian, I think that our pizza is the best...anyway, "margherita" is not the only kind! you really should try it here, it's really good =)

  • East coast US thin crust is the best!

  • I think we can agree, putting aside italy vs america, that pizza is just great. No mattet where u eat it hah. I made pizza for dinner today, sauce from scratch, dough too and put the topping i like...it was AWESOME

  • Pizza originated from the Middle East. The word "pizza" comes from the word "pita". The Babylonians and Persians ate some form of flatbread pita with toppings on it. Then it travelled westward towards the Greeks who decorated their flatbread pitas in their own way. The Romans were maybe the first to establish "pizzerias" in their cities. Citizens would place an order and come back around supper time to pick it up. The ruins of Pompeii actually has the remnants of a pizzeria.

  • @MrRufinished Hmmm I read that a man made a pizza for some italian monarchs by the... XIV-XV century I'm not sure and that was "supòsed" to be the first pizza but i'm not sure XD

    Your comment was interesting I didn't know that (although I knew what pita was)

  • @Lanakikuta I'm hungry now. lol. The type of pizza we eat today originated from Neopolitan cuisine of northern Italy. The monarch you mentioned was Margherita of Savoy. It was made in honor of her. Still, I think Chicago-style tastes better. :)

  • @MrRufinished Thanks for the info :) I haven't eaten American pizza yet... if Telepizza's pizza's are American, maybe yes XDD There's an amazing Italian restaurant on my town too. (Sorry bad English)

  • @Lanakikuta Your english is actually good. Telepizza should be similar to what we eat here. Try Pizza Hut if their is one around your region.

  • @MrRufinished We have Pizza Hut too somewhere XDD Okey I'll try someday

  • @MrRufinished you're right about the origins of the margherita pizza. It was made like that to resemble the colors of the Italian flag: the tomato sauce for the red, the mozzarella for the white, and the basil for the green. By the way Napoli is in southern Italy, not the northern :)

  • @ullipant Thanks. I apologize if my facts were not straight about Napoli. Now I know.

  • @Lanakikuta

    Yours is the story of neapolitan Pizza Margherita, but other kinds of pizza already existed

    Anyway the story is:

    In June 1889, to honor the Queen of Italy, Margherita of Savoy, during a visit to Naples, the neapolitan chef Raffaele Esposito created a pizza garnished with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil, to represent the colors of the Italian flag. He was the first to add cheese. It was served to the queen and she was thrilled about it, so it was named as the queen.

  • This is a commonplace video that the contributor only eats pizzas and talk about his reminiscence.

    But, it is interesting, somehow.

    -

    とうこう者がピザを食べながら 話しているだけのビデオでした。

    しかし、なぜか おもしろかったです。

  • I would say, in the Netherlands only in limburg! pizza taco!

  • pizza? oh! you mean gravy on a bread stick?

  • Intrestingly at the height of the Persian Empire, it is said that the soldiers of Darius the Great (521-486 B.C.), accustomed to lengthy marches, baked a kind of bread flat upon their shields and then covered it with cheese and dates. There's even a pizza recipe been found on hadrian's wall dating back to the 2nd century AD, so basically it has many origins.

  • Pizza originates from Naples, Italy, and Margherita was created for Queen Margherita of Italy in the 19th century.

  • I've been to Italy twice and tried the local pizzas. Gosh, they were delicious !

  • @amapola1703 The pizza in Northern Italy is the worst I have ever had, I could hardly believe it at the time.

  • @RealistReviewer why does people think Naples is in the northern Italy? It's like saying.. NY is in the west USA, lol

  • Wow...I just watched this guy talk about pizza for 6+minutes. And I don't know why, but he's so entertaining! And when he ate them my mouth was watering.

    I bet this guy can talk about stuff like soap and it will still be amusing!

  • I think that you have to visit Italy and eat a real italian pizza (not some pre-refrigerate abominions that sell to japanese tourists in some places as Florence). However, in Italy there are so many ancestors of actual pizza. Furthermore, the... thing over your pizza is not mozzarella cheese, trust me! XD

  • @GarthHerzog I have visited Italy several times in my life and I don't rate the pizza there very highly at all, best bet is to make it yourself from scratch.

  • @RealistReviewer Mh, it's true that it's really difficult to find a real good pizza. I don't know what places you visited, and maybe you were unlucky. However: yes, it's better to make it yourself from scratch. You're talking to a person that has a REAL pizza wood-fire oven in her home. XD

  • L'Italia deve chiedere scusa( Le vere origini della Pizza )

    KiLA6Bk

  • Well, in Italy we have many different kind of pizzas depending on what you put on it. Margherita is the original from Naples created, like PuNkYLoLLe said, for Queen Margherita. Naples' pizza is also different from Rome's pizza, which is thin and crispy. You really need to visit Italy and try them yourself ;)

  • Hi Runny, i'm italian and as you said that isn't an original italian pizza and that isn't mozzarella o.o

  • Hi, Runny. I'm something of an "armchair" food historian, and according to my "research" on the subject, pizza probably originated with the Etruscans in ancient Greece, who made edible plates from dough and put various toppings on them. The italians later improved on the idea, using tomatoes, cheese and herbs (and sometimes meat or fish.)

  • Wow. I never knew watching someone eat and talk about food could be so interesting :P +1 subscriber. one of the reasons i decided to actually subscribe for the first time to someone was because you don't beg people to subscribe at the end of each of your videos! also your videos are very interesting!

  • italy

  • you should google the pizza story if you want to know better!:P

    btw it's italian,at least the kind of "official" one and if i remember correctly it's from late 1800 or early 1900, Margherita was the queen at that time and the first pizza was created in her honor by a cook from napoli! (the red of the tomatos, the white of the mozzarella, and the green of the basil

    where used to recreate the colors of the reign of italy flag! >_<)... hope it was helpfull!keep making funny and yummy video!^_^

  • Papa John's ftw.

  • Not to offend anyone, but I gotta say, I've had both American delivery pizza and the some of the best pizza Italy has to offer. But I think I'd go with your typical delivery pizza. It's just zoo good.

  • Thin crust pizza! :) With salami.

  • Lol "I'm so happy ;_;"

  • Ah, I love how you eat! it makes me hungry...

  • I love watching him eat lol.

  • the main difference between italian and american pizza is the amount of shit they put on the second one..altough the quality of the dough is essential in order to get a good pizza

  • i can get one larger one at little cesars for 5 bucks

  • I can't choose between American and Italian pizza. However, easily my favorite pizza is Barro's Pizza, which is only in Arizona supposedly. It's Chicago-style, at least that's what they stay, and the combination of the crust and sauce is what makes it my personal favorite. It even has a website. I'm actually rather boring... I just have pepperoni pizza and that's it. x-x

  • I'm pretty sure Italy had pizza first Runny, but the problem is you won't find a very good Italian pizza in Japan I think. Unless if you have an italian restaurant there. You will certainly like Italian more if it's a good one. America uses too many flavor enchancers etc...

  • So can you investigate for giving us a american delicius pizza´s recipe ? I think it has to be lots cheaper if you learn and make it yourself.

  • italian pizza is the best. go to italy and try to eat italian pizza :D

  • I hear the concept of pizza came from China.

  • Italy

  • You haven't had pizza until you have been to Italy.

  • It's originated from Italy, as I know. At least from the language used in the name itself.

    But probably when Pizza was invented itself, it's inspired from Egypt or other states as well =D

  • Italy made pizza....but America made pizza good.

    Thank you Pizza Hut, for making Pizza Hut, you great America pizza company.

  • Italy

  • Pizza is from italy, but alot of italian immigrants came to american in the 1920's and even farther back then that. so thats why there is so much pizza in america you can find some authentic italian pizza in america made by italians. just gota look for it. and your more likely to find it up north then down south.

  • italy- Naples

  • italy

  • I'm Italian and as you said that fake italian pizza you had is way far from the original one. You must try it here in Italy, I am sure you would adore it and forget the American one :) You're invited for a pizza! I will pay for ya :) ahahhah!! I love your videos and i must thank you coz..you make me smile with your semplicity. THanks a lot Runny!!!!

  • @2syrianhearts i love PIZZA. Honestly. i can't decide. Their are sometimes i want american style with 500 toppings but sometimes i want the simple napoli style pizza.

  • @yellowman88 Well yeah pizza is always yoummy :D whatever you put on top! :)

  • @2syrianhearts Correct me if I'm mistaken, but from what I know there's huge different types of pizza in Italy(depends on from which part of a country it comes from). Some of them are very thin with just the basic topping(like sauce and cheese), some have tones of stuff on them(something like they make in US)....

  • @MadeofBlackIce no you're not wrong, what you said is true :)

  • it's nice to see you eating! =)

  • I love the brazilian pizzas! They are AWESOME!

  • Pizza is from Italy, originally from Naples. I lived 35 years in Italy. It would be an heresy to say that pizza is from America.

  • There's nothing like opinions from where a thing is. It's simple that americans are not creative in kitchen.

  • Pizza is from Naples,Italy. Not any other country.

  • Comment removed

  • I think you would be go into Italy, eat a real pizza and then make again this video.....

  • pizza was originally from the meditteranean, but it was different than todays pizza. the red sauce kind of pizza similar to modern pizza is italian.

  • Pizza originated from Italy and then was made popular by Italian immigrants in New York.

  • Pizza is not from either Italy or U.S,,,,, It's from New Yawk City! Just kidding.Full Moon in the Bronx(Aurthur Ave.) Grimaldis' In Brooklyn =very good

  • Napal Italy I believe is where it was first made; however, its evolved a lot since.

    Used to be bread with cheese, meat, and tomatoes; they then started making the dough a lot different for it and that is when it took off, etc.

  • Runny, I love you when you eat! You should really come to italy, you'd definetively love italian pizza the way WE make it! And of course pizza is italian! What do you think when you say 'italy'? 'pizza, pasta & mafia!' ^___^

  • pizza is "italian", but nowdays doesn't exist the different from other kind of pizza. I'm italian and i like american and deep pizza too. The real different is the "contorno", what u eat while u are eating pizza, and supplì/mozzarelline/crocchette are very tasty and unique.

    Anyway Naples Pizza is different from Rome Pizza and Genoa Pizza.

  • my grandma makes these chinese pizzas that is really healthy and easy to make its nothing like the other pizzas

  • The exact origins are a little foggy, but Pizza as we know it is Italian and is about 200 years old (although there are records of it going back as far as Ancient Roman times). The Margherita is the oldest of form of Pizza as we know it.

  • Pizza=Italy =) no mistakes.

  • 1:46 to 1:49 wtf

  • i think pizza originated in Europe, just not sure where exactly...

    I love pizza, in fact i just ate some, but the best pizza in the entire universe is Chicago Style deep dish pizza. It's different than the pizza you ate because it's much thicker and it's crispier. It's also better if you go to a place where they make it by hand instead of a franchise like dominos and pizza hut. Connie's, La Villa, and Rosati's here in Chicago are really good.

  • Italian pizza is made in a wood oven, you didnt know that ha small penis

  • pizza originated from China, Marco Polo brought it to italy which is now the pizza we see today

  • @mWAZLIB i think you're confusing pizza and spaghetti....

  • @takeru81 no i don't think i am, they're both from China

  • Started off with the greeks who made flat-bread(pita) and topped with oil, herbs, and cheese, the romans made something more similiar to a pizza a sheet of flour baked with honey, cheese and bay leaves. Then revolutionized into modern pizza in neopolitan cuisine (italian). Italian pizza usually has a light topping, little oil,herbs, couple slices of cheese, occasionally some slices of tomatoe.A pizza completely covered by a layer of sauceand thick layer of cheese, and lotstoppings, is american

  • ehi runnyrunny come in naples and try the real italian pizza.....only then you can talk.....but if you haven't try real italian pizza please......SHUT UP!!!

    from italy

  • ehmmmm...italy

  • comin from an Italian... the italian pizza is not exactly the way our family makes our pizza. our traditional italian pizza for us is big thick crust tomato sauce with garlic wine and pepper salt and fresh basil...no cheese. and everything must be fresh. we do however add fresh mozzerella once and while cause cheese is good..

  • AHah dude seriously..u are the best. I never saw a guy enjoying pizza as u do. I can tell u..what u tried is not italian style (not mentioning the different ingredients and bakin style..as u did already). Even in Italy, pizza style varies a lot..so maybe u can take into consideration to come to Italy and try the various style (we have crusty thin, high dough, halfway etc.). To be purist : the real napolitan pizza is soft with the side a bit higher (so a sort of halfway between crusty andhigh).

  • pizza is from china, fool. look it up.

  • i know the story

    there was this one royal chef and the royal famiy members wanted something different the king wanted cheese and the queen wanted onions and the princ wanted olives and the princess wanted bread so the chef decided to bring eerything togehther to now what is known as pizza but this is just one of the myths of course

  • This man loves his pizza. I can respect that. In America, we have many kinds of pizza. Runnyrunny999 was eating Japanese pizza made in a American style. In America, we have New York-style which is thin and greasy, Mass-style which is bready and saucey, Neapolitan-style which is thin and saucey, Chicago-style which is deep-dish, crispy, and meaty, some others exist too, but are not as popular. All types are pizza, and everyone has their personal definition and favorite. Pizza is yummy! ^o^

  • Pizza is of course Italian and this is historical fact (google it yourself too long to' expain it here). As an italian myself I'll say that the thin crust is the real pizza, what americans make the dough is all wrong, is just stuffed focaccia ( another italian thing). If you'll ever come to Italy and Genova particulary you'll taste the real thing. Unfortunately I couldnt taste pizza in US since I'm allergic to' flour and milk but THAT is not pizza. But I don't judge your taste at all. Thanks fo

  • @Ardiane1 You can't blame "the Americans" for our pizza. It was the Italian immigrants who brought it here after all. =P I have to agree with you, America created it's own style a long time ago, so it isn't exactly Italian. I will not get to go to Italy, so I will have to stick to my high-in-fat American pizza.

  • @RavenTwoFive

    you can always just make your own pizza, use less processed ingredients, and keep the toppings healthy.

    I live in america and love pizza, but its very bad for you, so I started making my own pizza/pizza dough, I'm still young and I'm inexperienced but it came out great and was very easy ^.^ I reccomend doing this sometime.

  • i have eaten pizza one times in italy and it is really delicious and much better than others

  • "for me... THIS is PIZZA!" ah, good choice my man :)! I still don't get how you can down that food and not get chunky ><!

  • Pizza originated from China along with pasta and stuff :) Italy just made it popular, America just made it fast food.

  • the real pizza it's only italian!!!!! XD

  • AMERICANIZED PIZZA

  • where i am from in America, there is a HUGE italian community so pizza has really high standards compared to other parts of the country.

  • I like how you say basil~

  • ZOMFG!!! your really sexy......>.> <.<

  • hi im from italy^^ and the american's pizza is more like a cake^^ the really good pizza is from italy try some good italin's pizza^^ gj whit ur cook recipe xD

  • Really pizza is from the us but it was made by the ltlian mingergrants

  • you gotta travel the US for a very wide variety of different kinds of pizza. from the big, thin crust slices of New York City to the thick, deep, rich slices of Los Angeles.

  • to be honest, i prefer pizza hut.. errm.. americanized pizza =D

  • Pizza is CHINESE.

    because Marco Polo took it from China and brought it back to Italy.

    LOL, imagine? xD

  • I have a roommate who says is from Italian ancestry and when I said pizza was from Italy (was arguing over it with another roommate) I was told that was wrong that it WAS from America, by my supposedly Italian roomie, lol. I don't believe that bit about being Italian that much anymore XD

    I thought it was obvious that the currently known version of pizza was made in Italy and brought by immigrants to America. I guess is not that obvious for everyone ^^U

  • I wish I could mail you a pizza. In St. Louis we have a pizza that is really different, the crust is very thin, and the sauce and cheese go up to the edge. They use a different kind of cheese that is gooey and not stringy because it's not mozzarella its a cheese called provel. It's really different but it's good.

  • NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM­NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM!

  • The deep dish is a Chicago thing and the thin crust is a New York thing. Preference varies city to city in the United States. ;) We don't all eat deep dish!

    Being from New York, I prefer styles like the margherita where the thin crust is crispy!

  • you prefer american pizza because you never tried the REAL italian pizza ;)

    PS: "pizza margherita" doesn't have basil

  • Al Gore invented pizza

  • I LOVE PIZZA I LOVE IT ALL

  • Iused to take big bites like that until I almost choked one day.

  • im hungry now... u enjoyed it sooo much.... lol
