I eat and review the pizza from Angelo’s Pizza in Midtown Manhattan of New York City. The pizza is cooked in a coal fired brick oven and has received a great deal of praise. I try a pepperoni pizza to see if it lives up to the hype.

James, thanks for the memories, I recall growing up in NYC and buying a slice of plain cheese by the local subway stop in Queens for 15 cents. It was epic. R.

Thank you! I don't like saying negative things, but I have to be honest. I just try to say it in the nicest way possible.

Since I have only become aware & have subscribed to your channel, much of my viewing of past posts are from your dated past. As my reaction may & probably is quite dated to when you first presented it, I still find you work extremely entertaining & interesting. This video was great & I appreciate your sharing of observations; which is why I am so glad to be a subscriber. Yes, I am so pleased to be able to review the "old stuff" presented some time ago! Because it's still quite good viewing!

That pie definitely looked flimsy, soggy and floppy! Congratulations on the sponsor and reaching the 5K sub milestone!

Thank you! I really appreciate it! I think I just had some bad luck with my pizza. Most of the reviews and pictures I've seen of other's looked so much better and crispier than mine.

4:35 Possible oven wasn't hit enough, but my guess for the lack of crispiness is you got an early dough that has less time to ferment.

That could very well be the case. I've definitely seen the restaurant make better pizzas.

@lb1983ify Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the review. Totally agree, this was disappointing for sure. It doesn't compare to the Coal Fire Ovens of Julianna's or Grimaldi's in Dumbo. Much less Sally's or Frank Pepe's in New Haven! Congrats on 5K subcribers. Very well deserved and I look forward to buying some of that delicious coffee. Please keep up the great work and please continue to produce wonderful content. It is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! Yeah, I loved the pizza I got from Julianna's, Sally's and Frank Pepe's. I've still got to try Grimaldi's though. I feel like I just had some bad luck with this pizza though. Hopefully, next time it's better.

I've had pizza in Midtown Manhattan a few times and it felt like it was made in a rush, while in New Canaan, CT i ate some of the best pizzas.

@Jamesnu Жыл бұрын

Yeah, Midtown isn't my favorite area of NYC for food. I haven't been to New Canaan yet, but CT is definitely a great place for pizza!

@markpriest589 Жыл бұрын

Desiring crispiness isn't nitpicking. Have you ever tried the coal-fired pizzas up in New Haven? I'd love to do a pizza tour there. Thanks for the park scenes at the end!

@Jamesnu Жыл бұрын

Indeed, the texture of a pizza is an important issue. Yeah, I've been to both Sally's and Frank Pepe's in New Haven and they each served some of the best pizza I've ever had! I hope to go back soon.

It didn't look as crispy as in other reviews. Maybe it was a bad day. Still looked delicious

@Jamesnu Жыл бұрын

Yeah, the flavor was great, but the lack of crispiness was a disappointment. I'm just wondering if the oven wasn't up to the correct temperature yet since I came very soon after Angelo's opened. Still, I'll definitely go back to the restaurant, but maybe at a different time of the day.

I think they didn't get the oven hot enough before opening. That pizza is usually crunchy, I had it twice. Great insightful take on your experience there.

@Jamesnu Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yeah, I really feel like I should show up to pizzerias at later times to ensure that the ovens are up to full temperature. Even at other spots, where I haven't had a fully crisp pie, it's probably because I typically show up to restaurants right when they open.

Totally fair! Like I said, everyone has different preferences and there's no rule of how a pizza should be. I just like a bit of crisp with my pizza and I still enjoyed the pie despite it.

@@brodypilcher3643 There are definitely a lot of rooftop bars in the city, but unfortunately a lot of them seem to be more about the view and less about the quality of the food and drinks. Fortunately, there are some good ones still out there. Saga is a new place on the 63rd Floor of a skyscraper in the Financial District and they just earned two Michelin Stars. I haven't been there, but it looks incredible! The Panorama Room is nice, but expensive. I feel like a lot of the rooftop spots are quite costly. Those are just a couple of places off the top of my head. Plus, by the time the weather warms up there will probably be new rooftop establishments worth visiting as well.

its because you got pepperoni , need to get the classic chesee

@Jamesnu 9 ай бұрын

The pepperoni likely weighed down the pizza a bit, but I've had plenty of other pepperoni pies that had a much better crisp. I just had some bad luck that day.
