Tony Muia, owner/operator of A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour, on the Food Network's "Food Detectives"

Tony Muia, owner/operator of "A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour", appears as one of the judges on an episode of the Food Network's "Food Detectives" about NYC pizza. The show tries to dispel the myth that NYC water is what makes NYC pizza so great, so they had John LaFemina (the chef from Apizz in Manhattan) make three different doughs with water from NYC, Chicago and LA. The judges, along with host Ted Allen, were asked to try and figure out if there really is a difference. The judges included Tony Muia, comedian Mario Cantone, Joey Ciolli of Grimaldi's and John LaFemina.

Thanks! The water definately made a difference between the three crusts. Unfortunately I don't have the clip for the cereal and magnet test, sorry. You might want to check the show's page on the Food Network's website to see if they have the clip.

ok water thATS IT ,,YOU DONT HAVE TO MAKE GOOD PIZZA TO MAKE A MILLION DOING IT

yea the water might make a difference...but it doesnt mean it "tasted better" . It just means they could tell the difference and chose ny just cuz they dont want to lose. The real test would be to have 4 people who dont know jack about pizza and ask them which of the 3 is the best..

I love New York pizza best, and I wouldn't mind them tasting pizza from italy and maybe test that with New York's.

As much as I respect Tony Muia I agree his comment on Chicago Pizza is ignorant on his part. Chicago Pizza has its own style. I love Chi-Town pizza especially Pequods. Who would love a caramelized crust?
