Lucali is one of the most celebrated pizzerias in the world. The restaurant's owner, Mark Iacono, has become a larger-than-life figure in the New York pizza scene-and a mentor to Pizza Wars host Nicole Russell. In this rare, intimate interview filmed in Lucali's backyard, Iacono tells Nicole and Scott Wiener how he took inspiration from legendary Brooklyn pizza-maker Domenico De Marco of DiFara, and ultimately created one of the most sought after pies on the planet. And later, Iacono teaches Nicole and comedian Chris Distefano how to make Lucali's legendary pizza during a special, hands-on cooking tutorial.

RIP Dom the legend. Lucali pizza is truly amazing... but the real gem there is the calzone. If you go, get a pie but do not sleep on the calzone. Then they come around and refill your extra sauce on the side for the calzone and you are truly in heaven. Also BYO wine and offer Mark a glass.

Problem is, no matter how you make the dough, mill the tomatoes, use the freshest Buffala mozzarella, you’ll never have his oven. I’m a chef who has “deep dived” into pizza from new haven style “apizz” to Lucali, & everything in between but although close, I’ve never been able to get that perfect texture they achieve. I live in Canada so I’ve never had it, but I can only imagine it’s much better than anything I’ve ever made, because I was never fully satisfied with my creations.

@@prodJaxStaxNah Dave wouldn't get along with them. He's got the alpha male mentality, he just can't be wrong. Millions might know his Dave's and think he's the pizza authority, but Mark is the man. He's the one thats the real deal. He's in the pizzeria. Hes made the name. He's learnt from the best. And he's still a student. On Really Dough he's paying attention and giving every pizzaiolo respect. Anyone can eat food, but the one that you need to learn from is Mark.

If you go to Fortina restaurant and get one of their pies it's about 1/2 the size, 1/3 the width of the dough, 1/4 the amount of toppings and costs between $22 and $28. And extra toppings are I think $2-$4ea. So it's really not that bad considering what a lot of places charge
