Great video Andrew, it was directed very well, your narrative was eloquent as usual and loved your critique of the pizza. I appreciate your honest opinion and I also thought there was too much real estate between the edge of the cornicione and the cheese/sauce. Minor gripes aside, a top 5 pizza in the city and perhaps the world. BTW, great book, and the same author wrote another one that is awesome called Project Hail Mary.

If you ever get a chance to go again, you gotta get the calzones. Just a plain cheese calzone from Lucali’s is life changing. The sauce on the side is divine. Next time I head that way I’m going to probably drop a hundred on pizzas, calzones, and meat balls. Haha.

Next time bring a bottle of dry red; Burgundy, Zinfandel, whatevs, and a cup. Then you have something to dunk the dry crust into. You won't regret it. Works great with a well done crusty loaf of seeded Italian bread, too.
