Obsessives - Pizza

[LiberlismIsALie]

Who ever thought Pizza would become a Douche Bag food.

this guy claims the prize.

whats next is he going to do the same with macoroni and cheese?

[ArtOfSelfReliance]

large pizza from dough ball to topping it with sauce cheese and peperoni and in the wood fire oven in 23 seconds....can you beat that? mwahahahha i should make a video...

[GregGreg1983]

OK so I will make my pizza at home and not buy yours ! Fail !

[GregGreg1983]

This guy is a retard with to much OCD !

[GregGreg1983]

I would punch this cocky guy right in his snot box ! lol !

[GregGreg1983]

This guy is cocky !

[HippyVeterano]

[LynxRecover]

He reminds me of Ross from Friends.

[stubbi]

the best pizzas are minimalistic pizzas

[JoeHell67]

I guess it's hard to sell real authentic italian pizza in most countries outside of italy.....but i hear him!

i had my best pizza in italy in a small town, (can't remember the name..) at it was a whole different deal!

Here in germany a 'good' pizza is topped with lot's of 'stuff' and finished with Gouda and Emmental cheese... you go figure why we love italian pizza so much...

[Vaughnlesterinoz]

Haha, my dad has been building pizza ovens for about 18 years now. And we make our own pizzas. It certainly is the way to do it if you want good pizza. Infact right now as I type this I'm looking out the window at the pizza oven.

[lordmagicpants]

YOU GUYS...

SERIOUS....

YOU GUYS...DON'T KNOW...HOW TO MAKE PIZZAS

*smug*

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW....HOW TO MAKE PIZZA...YOU CAN'T CAUSE ONLY WE CAN MAKE PIZZA

[drumguy2007]

damn this guys ego is huge

[lufsen94]

THEY as in YOU guys.

[xxdramalover1xx]

wow

so pessimistic

i don't think i can live with no meated pizza, the meat's the best part of it <3

[erix]

So...I should just go to Naples.

[swankswag]

Imma send my homegirl over there. She just moved to NY. That shit better be fucking delicious. I'll report back. That's right bitches...Texans will pull your card, better be ready to put up! We will send somebody to check on ya!

[MetalSlime19]

This guy has alot of Moxie

[force1227]

He gets his nut to Naples

[BowmanSchram]

PIZZAMAKERS IN NAPLES ARE THE HIGHEST PAID GUYS IN THE CITY?

IS THIS GUY CRAZY OR WHAT?

Too much heat...

[vBlackbear]

@BowmanSchram

uh... no

naples is the birthplace of pizza

[BowmanSchram]

@vBlackbear

...and that has nothing to do with the fact that pizzamakers down there are higly paid and "respected". They are not.

Those who OWN pizzerias (and have East Village-like prices) yes.

But the guys who make pizzas there don't swing in money...neither respect.

You're called "Sfigato" if you do that...Google it to find out what that means.

Trust me. I know.

[turquoiseshopaholic]

Damn

[ricklude]

This guy has attitude. . . . a great attitude about a favorite food of most everyone.

I'd love to try one of his pies.

[TubeDeviant]

All of those pizzas sound and look good, but I still love Panago's New York Deli and Primo vegetarian!

[rothkoaintdead]

respect to this man

[felixcruzazul]

one word: dominos

[Livenlaff]

Jersey pizza is better than New York pizza.

[carlofdl]

Amazing!

[LittoBUbbo]

lmfao. I was telling my guy how i wanted to go visit this guy and test his pizza out and I wish i was in the east. THEN. He tells me that the guy moved to San Francisco and whats more? HIS PIZZERIA IS RIGHT DOWN THE BLOCK =_+

[bakedpootetoo]

@LittoBUbbo haha more vegetarians probably, meatless pizzas FTL

[83Tubes]

@LittoBUbbo wonder if he took his 'oven' with him???

[IsMeTommy]

pause at 2:38

[yashoda86]

thats a high carbon footprint pizza. have more passion about the environment than your pizza.

[lilblkboi]

This is about my third time watching this vid in two days. I keep coming back to watch, just because of his passion for pizza. Passion like that is so interesting that I just had to watch it again.

[rakhello]

thanks for been honest and sharing your experience...hope you can share some of your dough knowledge...

[chri8067]

I agree with him about being better off making your own pizza at home than buying from a pizzeria.

[thepurpz]

If all your pizzas have that tiny amount of sauce on them, I'd never eat it. Gross. Put some sauce on there!!

[BinaChanel]

This guy should be my husband for these reasons:

1. He's Italian

2. I love his accent

3. He has tattoos

4. He's Italian

5. He can make damn good pizza

[TheWhadUpNow]

@BinaChanel It's not funny.Even funnier when u thought that would get a lot of thumbs.

[BinaChanel]

@TheWhadUpNow Wasn't even trying to be funny, just being honest.

[TheWhadUpNow]

@BinaChanel Just kidding =)

[lilblkboi]

@TheWhadUpNow Dude, lighten up. It made me smirk! This is Youtube, people are entitled to witty comments with or without "thumbs".

[nadialeylanicontrera]

why cant i see the video?

[bacala777]

@nadialeylanicontrera Because it's delivery, not delissio.

[cupwithhandles]

pure passion - blessed guy

[markpianoman]

Right on!!! We have a couple young guys here in Honolulu who have started an outdoor "restaurant" where they serve wood-fired pizzas from their oven pulled on a trailer. The pizza is the best in Honolulu!

[Malangsufi]

If I could ever come to NY ever your place would be the first place I would go to eat Pizza

[gufa1972]

I love this guy, I have listened to him 7 times and I did not get tired at all.I love the shop and it does not get more traditional than that. i will do the same here and give love and the best with no compromise. ciao

[gufa1972]

Ok guys now here is the truth. I have listened to this guy interview and everything he said is the best you can get in the English language. I am writting from australia and here we have the same problem.I am from Napoli and I understand everything about pizza in its own creation from water to eating it. The modern pizza was born in Naples 150 years ago'and that cannot change, its a religion but with humbleness. Convert to the real and true thing and you will have the best in the world. Trust.

[xEmilyCyhogx]

"..Tried making pizza on the floor of the fireplace.."

Reminds me when I wanted to go ahead and try making my own bonfire on the kitchen floor :D

[Ladylyla]

wtf!? no meat things on pizza?!

[cliffcox66]

@Ladylyla All that toppings stuff you want is not traditional and it was created here. This is how real pizza is in Italy. It's basic and chewy and tastes good due to fresh ingredients.

[witchdoctor88]

@Ladylyla that is affirmative. google "Vera Pizza Napoletana specifications;" they actually have codified how to make it. anthony mangieri (guy in the video) follows these specs.

[yoomgitsme]

i want some right now!

[ceadeses]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!

[flaviasantini]

appreciate his passion and kinda agree with his point of view but... he cooks the basil leaves?? fresh basil must be added once the pizza's out of the oven... 

[gufa1972]

@flaviasantini , dear friend the traditional pizza the basil is cooked and i can tell you that because I am from Napoli. ciaoooooooooooooooo

[WinkieDuck]

he's from california. how do I know? he said "lose a grip." Grips is cali slang

[jerseykidd77]

@WinkieDuck Sorry buddy, he's from NJ, but as of 8 months ago opened a shop in San Fran.

[jerseykidd77]

@WinkieDuck

[BeatlesHero]

@WinkieDuck uh, im from NJ we say that too haha

[ktrany55]

he's just jealous of the other companies :D

[cowedbywisdom]

mmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmm­mmm pizza hut stuff crust pizzaa

[123krull]

I went there. Its not very good. I don't know of too many great pizza places that use wood.

[DJResJudicata]

[dasoliss]

[GoatseObama]

Heard he sells a pizza for like 20$ each

[caterrachel]

Una Pizza Napoletana closed...

[chefkoo]

@caterrachel It didn'y close. He just moved to San Fransisco. He didn't want to sell it because he didn't trust anyone to maintain what he worked for.

[darude27]

I am pizza maker!I need trabajo?

[jv644]

lol he says italy-ly

[TheGreenPlague]

Well, I've been making pizza for seven years, and although brick oven baking is unique, it doesn't make a better pizza. That's a matter of opinion. The other thing is, you can't really cook a lot of toppings on a pizza cooked in a brick oven fire. doesn't work right. Alot of gourmet pizza places say less is better, because you can't fit a lot of toppings and get a consistantly done pizza without gas.

gas ovens work every time.

[seoulman101]

@TheGreenPlague

the wood is better , because of the flavor from the wood, and the charring of the dough. a GAS fired oven with hot flame can come close to charring but not flavor.

and deck ovens.. well yeah, no charring and no flavor.. BUT!!!

decks can make AWESOME pizzas dont worry about that...

[TheGreenPlague]

@seoulman101 I've since learned that there is a significant difference. thanks

[ChaChaDave]

Hi. I really appreciate this video..I Love the oven. I love the look of the pizza's. Beautifully rustic. Yum!

[GuschtlD]

He's the real deal! That looks awesome. And only four kinds of pizza :)

[szhmoe]

Pushed to try over-cooked pizza.

[whitetornadodk]

i love the obsessives series =)

[chilicake]

this is real handicraft and i have so much respect for it. perfection in every aspect.

[Lupocampobassano]

Bravo, questa è pizza napoletana all'estero! Un saluto da un pizzaiolo Italiano.

Spero di venire ad assaggiare la tua pizza molto presto. Nicola da Campobasso-Italia.

[andrecardoso]

Less is more!

[fardisghomeshi]

@andrecardoso no its not

[ang3lcak3]

I wished I lived in New York!

[Minastir1]

this guy is Gordon Ramsay of pizzamakers :)

[Kamohawk22]

[1Mafioso4]

Pizza For All

[filipposilvestro]

Hi mate,

I am of Italian descent, and I am a proper pizza expert. Email me for some exchanges of info: - fsilvestro@mac.com

Cheers.

Phil.

[DroppedItLikeItsHot]

where are they located?

[naaiservizi]

La vera puzza si trova da noi a Napoli!!!!

[alphakristjan]

dont they put any meat on the pizza ? what the hell .

[zerophear0]

@alphakristjan meat? wtf are you talking about? like prosciutto?

I think he is going the right way keeping it basic and his pizzas look very yummy, even for an italian like I am.

[willyjackblueeyes]

sounds like a f.o.s. pizza nazi to me. go join another shitty band, this pizza shit aint gonna work with your close-mindedness. id never wanna eat that bullshit. what a poser! im sure you asshole, sucker, yuppy, retards will eat this aesthetically pleasing bull shit, and keep this guy in business though, which is sad. there is a sucker born every minute, just look at all these comments. this guy probably just hates most food. he probably eats everything plain. this obviously rubbed me wrong.

[presatito]

This dude knows his fuckin pizza! I wish he had a shop up in Canada.

[stooge81]

i love this dude. and i bet i'd love his pizza. it's all about the ingredients.

[rantasta]

omg! u should have kebab pizza is so fucking good cmon pizza whit cheeseburgers its heart attack

[totopizzaiolo]

hi Antony how are you....fine???? you remember? i'm Salvatore Pizzeria Totò Sapori in Quarto from Naples friend Stefano Ferrara....my compliments you very very good pizzaiolo and good luke !!!!! by Totò

[totopizzaiolo]

hi Antony how are you....fine???? you remember? i'm Salvatore Pizzeria Totò Sapori in Quarto from Naples friend Stefano Ferrara....my compliments you very very good pizzaiolo and good luke !!!!! by Totò

[bacala777]

4:50 italylyly

[yoomgitsme]

awesome! classic pizza and looks homemade so for me i love these kind of pizza not any random no name pizzas u order.

[mzonse]

I wonder where his pizzeria is in New York. Would LOVE to eat there! ;]

[death8kami]

mmmmmm...... thats all im saying.... mmmmmmmmm

[jwhat01]

That dude is doing it right. He is making pizza an art instead of a job. A way of living. Very cool. Would love to have some.

[mytubeinyomouf]

douche from n.y thinks his pizza is the best.... gtfoh! ugly burnt crust.

[bagghead47]

new york is the best

[bunnyxo2]

Wow.. he's so passionate about pizza it almost makes ME want to do it loll

[drendedrater]

@bunnyxo2 more like makes me want to eat it ha ha ha, even though I don't really like tomatoes.... ha ha ha

[Evange]

It's one thing to be obsessed, but this guy is a douche.

[87ramasaurus]

Buffalo can give milk ???? :-O (never knew that..)

[warambil]

please man! Buffalo is a mammal so SHE buffalo can give milk, not the male, please!!!.

BTW, the best muzzarella is obtain from buffalos

[bella14stella]

@87ramasaurus

Buffalo are mammals. All mammals can give milk. Mice can give milk, whales can give milk, rabbits can give milk, etc.

[87ramasaurus]

Whales can give milk ?!?!?!?!? :-O :-)

I actually used to think a male cow is called a buffalo.. didn't know it thanks btw

[jwhat01]

@87ramasaurus

These are actually from very old strains of water buffalo in Italy. And yes, their milk makes the best mozzerella in the world. Tastes better in Italy because it is fresh, and also unpasteurized.

[delsing1]

A prime example of passion and skills. Very inspiring.

[mexguy316]

This guy is dumb he swears he knows the best...no wonder he lost his restaurant he tells people what they want rather than catering to what a customer does....no wonder he lost his shop idiot

[jtothe100]

I went to naples last year, and personally I like cows milk mozzrella better than buffalo milk. the buffalo milk has too much water in it, so it makes the dough too soaggy in my opinion. da michele in naples has the best pizza in my opinion.

[EricLFarrell]

He's right. I've had pizza in Naples, and the buffalo cheese was on point! it was different than American pizza. you buy a pizza for about $3, and eat the whole thing. it's not a layer of dough, layer of sauce, layer of cheese, and layer of toppings. What I had wasn't layered and I've never seen it here in the States. no wonder... can't get the cheese

[2progressive]

And that's the way it should be! well done.

[piratebri]

Those pizzas look so good.

Whenever I order takeout, I only get spinach on my pizza. People always look weird at me, but it's so good. I laugh when I see people getting pizza with sausage, hamburger, pepperoni, bacon, and ham... it's like yea, totally mask the taste of the sauce.

[disinterested22]

@piratebri what ingredients do u put on ur pizza? I love tomatoes, onions and spinach

[piratebri]

@disinterested22 Just spinache along with the cheese and sauce. Sometimes I add grilled chicken to it, but that's about it.

[ThePugnitopo]

100% correct. He's the first american I've met that knows something about real neapolitan pizza. Good job.

[djryduu]

this is not a italian pizza...

[GiOvAnnA619]

Try luzzos pizza its right around the conner from that place and pizza is 10 times better in my opinion

[defectnine]

love the sirens in the background.

[NewportCoastCA]

he recently closed his pizzaeria it says so on his website check it out.

[cheesesam]

Super psyched to hear that he's opening up his new place here in San Francisco ! Bring it on, Anthony !!

[podperson17]

His pizzas look delicious. I make pizzas (from scratch) for my family several times a week, and while I appreciate his perfectionism, the idea that if you don't make pizza his way you're making crap is pretty annoying. He's not the "Greg House" of pizza, he's the "Soup Nazi" of pizza.

[Shevekian]

Except that he says: "That's how you can tell, TO ME, a good pizza" (my emphasis)

[KoukiR]

He never said if its not his way its junk. He is saying that when the pizzeria's first started in New York they were great but once they got handed down or sold to someone else the whole greatness went away. Because someone will try to tweak things here and there, then it comes out not tasting the same. So they just stick with the new way and down grade in taste. It true what he says about to many toppings, look at all the great places they don't have to many special's, yet everyone loves them.

[Beekeeperj]

@KoukiR This guy is a loser!!!

[leeroynaggins]

meh

[nlex]

i love you !

[nubnub75]

RESPECT!

[DuzztX]

lol dr. house...

[slrw82]

Nailed - the Dr. Gregory House of pizza!

[beejor]

If we applied the same strict standards to painting as this guy does to pizza, we would have paintings that used the best oil pastels and paper in the world but only had three colors, were only pictures of landscapes, and cost twice as much. Also the painters would each think their work was the best and insult everyone else's work.

[takadi]

@beejor

Well we kind of do have that kind of artwork that is pretty rampant and overpriced. It's called postmodern art

[trinitaterion]

no, if we had the standards this guy has in the art world, probably contemporary artists would start doing art instead of crap

[supermaucat]

It appears that Anthony Mangieri closed down Una Pizza Napoletana and is looking to open it at some new location. :( Search for his web site to see the announcement.

[MKIced]

I love New York/New Jersey pizza!!! I mean, it's not Naples, but it's the best in the country.

[pneumaticFrequency]

oregano and basil

[ParkLeeNa]

this guy needs to fuck more

[sharpshootah09]

Man, this guy is a pizza Philosopher :D

[dschiavello]

I am italian and also I have been a pizzaiolo napoletano....thanks to diffuse: "real pizza napoletana culture"....

[5uk1m0n5t3r]

I wonder when he will open up a shop here in California? I'd love to visit his place and try some real pizza at least once in my life.

[JimmyDasnitch92]

the pizza now is real pizza the italian pizza he makes is old school super quality pizza

[areyoureally123]

I read it will be in L.A., and hopefully by March 2010.

[TickleExpress]

Brilliant... very candid and well presented... that pizza looks so amazing, I hope one day to have my own pizza oven... I don't know how I will get the proper mozzarella though. Hurray for Pizza!

[Ahkmedren]

I really would like to visit this place some day! This guy rules

[claresa14]

this guy is intense! he's pretty awesome!

[rainwaterd]

I agree with only using four or less ingredients. I make awesome pizza at home.......when the crust is right, fermented at least 24 hours, and sometimes 48 hours is better......too many ingredients takes away from the crispy, bubbly, tender crust that has developed flavor with the long fermentation period. I make pizza every weekend when I'm not working, and I start the pizza crust the day before.....I get hungry just thinking about my pizza....I would love to try this fellow's pizza.

[steveinoakland]

Right back at you...totally agree. BTW, I am a certified pizzalo taught by three master certified instructors (diploma in Italiano).

[JimmyDasnitch92]

as good as the pizza may be I NEED FUCKING MEAT NOT THE SAME DAMN FOUR INGREDIENTS

[equalitynoww]

dude, you don't know till youve been there

[JimmyDasnitch92]

still i need fucking meat

[equalitynoww]

maybe, but this guy is a fucking genious. too bad he moved to Ca. trust me. you would like it

[JimmyDasnitch92]

like a previous commenter this guy moved to california because NY was getting wise anf moved his ass to cali to scam more people

[equalitynoww]

He had the best pizza in ny, now keste takes the crown

[JimmyDasnitch92]

then why did he leave

[equalitynoww]

thats the thing, he just wanted to. ts weird

[woodsprout]

Eat some meat on the side? ...and relax? Geeez.

[JimmyDasnitch92]

say you eat some chicken noodle soup would you eat the chicken on the side??

[woodsprout]

OK re: chicken noodle soup, but WHERE in the word "Pizza" is there the mention of meat ?

[JimmyDasnitch92]

ok in a cheeseburger where does it mention the meat, kecthup etc.
