You can't be sick of pizza, it's the best food in the world.
Great video. Btw, back in the 80's, all the best slices in NYC were greasy and cheesy enough that there was always the possibility of half the cheese sliding right off the slice just as you start eating, provided the reheat was hot enough. Hence, the fold was born; it was all about keeping your cheese in your possession.
Thank you so much for all of this hard work you’ve put in. As someone who is also on the journey to perfecting the slice, this info is invaluable to me. Keep crushing it!
Dude, big props for all the research and breakdowns. The way you've taken us along this journey and justified it lends so much credibility to the findings. Rather than just showing us a recipe, we get to see the process of how and why. I've been following your steps at home and it's been a big help. Can't wait to see more!
Wowww this was a good one. This video helped confirm some things that I've been pondering about for a while now. The dedication is unreal. Amazing stuff Charlie! Can't wait for the next video on the series!
Your delivery, research, and editing make this video and many others you've made masterpieces. Your editing is worth just as much as your research, you're doing an amazing job! You've earned my respect and a sub-
I perfer a 67% dough proofed for 5 days although I have modified my oven to cook at 600 degrees F pluss I use both a steel on top of pizza stones so I am sure that helps.
I'm loving this series so far. 5 years ago I found the Pizza Show hosted by Frank, the owner of Best Pizza, and started making pizza at home. My goal was also to make NY style but I couldn't find any info online about how to really make it but I found a lot on Napoli style so I've been doing that ever since. I just recently started back into NY style and your vids have been very helpful, thank you.
I've been absolutely hooked on this series, can't wait for the next video!
So much insight packed into 12 minutes! Fantastic content and I'm very much looking forward to your next pizza episode!

Amazing work Charlie. Really digging your series. I got hooked on making pizza during Covid and have been very happy with my Neapolitan style after many many different versions. NY style was gonna be my next deep dive but you’ve already done all the homework for me 🙂🙂 good stuff Keep up the awesome content.
Yes been waiting for this guy to post!!
Killer video Charlie. I like how you briefly went over each pizza and what you took away from your review. Your production quality is top notch.
I love your videos! so informative and I learn something every time. I still use your sauce recipe.
Dedication Level Infinity! Keep going Charlie!
Great video as usual, looking forward to the finale
Thanks from Quebec for your awesome Pizza Passion !
Love this series, Charlie! Keep up the great work, man. Ive had them all and l'industrie is my favorite slice.
You're videos are so good man, keep up the good work!
Absolutely been loving this whole series and the strive to nail that nyc pizza at home.
Man, these series has been a ride. Looks like I hopped on just in time!
God bless you dude, your content is so chill, informative, and entertaining,, liked and subbed
Exciting. It’s getting close! Good work!
I am getting a new pizza steel soon. I am excited to try your recipe as soon as you drop it
I *love* Best Pizza, and glad you rated it highly. Also thanks for giving me a couple more places to try when I get back to NYC.
Thorough, informative, I love it!
This series speaks to my heart.
gonna be so sad when this series is over but will be super happy knowing the challenge is complete
Earned my sub - had to watch a few videos over weeks of being on youtube but your vids are quality and I love your passion
Super informative, great videos!
great content man, i learned a lot from this one.
Bravo! I learned from you more than from any other food channel on KZread.
Such great research…appreciated! I was actually hoping for there to be a huge reveal at the end of some random hole-in-the-wall joint that would produce just the most epic slice of all!
We appreciate you, Charlie!
Just want to say thanks. All your research has changed my home pizza game. I even went to the scrap yard and made my own 1/2” thick pizza steel. Cost me only $30. It’s a good option for people that can’t afford a store bought one.
I hope a full on recipe is coming because I've been following this series since I moved away from NYC after living there my whole life. I need to know how to recreate NYC pizza.
Industrie was the best one I ever had so I guess I'd enjoy scarrs too! Can't wait for the step by step next episode, much love my dude I love your dedication to detail!
Love the pizza videos! Thank you ❤
Great job man. Through the research I’ve done - this is the most comprehensive and worthwhile series on the art of nys pizza making and recipes. Ty
Just made pizza tonight following your directions. It came out beautifully. I have a lodge cast iron pizza pan and didn't pick up a pizza screen yet but still. Best homeade pizza I ever made.
just popping in to let you know the algorithm picked up your video, good luck to you sir! hope you go viral.
P.S. can’t wait till you finish the series to try your ultimate recipe at home… keep up the good work!!!
I agree with you about the reheat. I've been making pizzas since before covid hit and the reheat brings a homemade slice to the next level
yet another banger, keep it up
Appreciate your work
i appreciate the work you put in , try coming up with the perfect pakora some day , and maybe the perfect jamacian patty while you are at it , i am definitely waiting on this final pizza episode though!
Not sure if you mentioned this, but Scarr's also mills their own flour and I believe uses some whole wheat.
I stumbled across your channel while searching for pizza making topic. Excellent KZread Videos….GREAT CONTENT….I have subscribed and signed up for your newsletters. I am definitely not a chef or nor do I have the cooking knowledge and talent of yours. Still, I love learning…., especially with someone that is willing to teach us step by step….especially those of us with only basic cooking/kitchen knowledge. I just watched and liked your entire NYC pizza series to date. I love learning about all cooking variables / controls and what you have found to be the best ingredients. I look forward to you teaching us the final NYC pizza revision. I hope you continue the pizza series in the future…..maybe a series on “Detroit”and the original “Neapolitan” styles. P.S. I also love the details / links you provide each video. Again…GREAT WORK, and THANK YOU!
Good video. It can be difficult to isolate one thing at a time to assess while holding others constant because a lot of times each factor depends on what you set for the others. E.g., like here you learned that higher hydration might actually be better if you do two bakes (great catch!). Obviously you can't test every little detail in every configuration, but good job not remaining too beholden to an earlier finding once you learned something new - stay this open to change as you progress through the final stages of testing.

Exactly haha, I feel like I keep going back and forth because every time I change something, it affects something else. But I think I'm finally getting there!
😂 I didn’t even watch the video yet and I hit 👍🏽 because I love this series that much!
Im really excited to see your take on pizza dough. Its the most elusive part of pizza making. I went through 2 years of trying to make my pizza dough by reading and trying to reverse engineer pizza doughs I bought from my favorite pizza store. I never nailed it. I opened my pizza store 10 years ago, and still am trying to nail the perfect dough
I've been using a variety of your recipe, but I have a Breville pizza oven that I set on 650 deck and 500 degree top. It seems to be perfect... I use a 1% oil. I think the hydration is 61%. I also bulk ferment for at least 24 to 48 hours. This helps with the flavor. The Breville is kind of necessary IMHO, but I admire your home oven attempt.
Thanks very much for going to the trouble of sampling nine NYC pizzas. I live on the West Coast really miss New York pizza which has always been my favorite.
As always, well done! I have been making my own "Grande East Coast Blend" for over a year, I cut skimmed and whole milk mozz from WM into equal size blocks (an ounce of each for the little pies I've been making) and freeze one block of each together, and grate them as a step in prep. Buying only 2 lbs at a time and no anti-clump powder like in the pre grated.
Looking forward to the final ultimate recipe!
I'd love to see you experiment not just with fermentation times, but also temps and yeast levels. Your concern of a long fermentation softening the dough is valid, so I'm curious if either more yeast, or a shorter warmer proof either on the countertop or even in a bread proofing box (mine is just a hot pad inside a big cooler with a battery powered fan and temp/humidity gauge) would result in more flavor but without damaging the texture, or if the results would be the same. You can find all sorts of charts of time vs. temp vs. yeast used on the pizza forum you mentioned previously. Just remember that if you increase the temp, you need to increase the humidity as well (I use a damp paper towel in front of my fan).
Outstanding content on your channel.
Dedication to the craft, respect.
Hopefully after all is said and done you make your definitive pizza video for absolute best slice, I think thatll be a good video for you in terms of performance too Great channel man, informative and easy listening
I agree on the Red Pack. So good. The canned NY style sauce form Bianco DiNapoli is excellent too; just use it right out of the can. Nothing else needed.
People out there waiting for the next episode of their favorite HBO show to drop. I'm in here with the shakes waiting for the next hit from Charlie to drop.

Love this series.
When I lived in New York 20 years ago, my favorite was Lombardi’s. I’m not usually a fan of cheese pizza, but eating there changed my mind.
There’s a lot more you can play around with. You can do a preferment AND a cold ferment. You can use different amounts of preferment compared to the overall dough to play around with texture. And if you want a little more yeasty flavor, you can just use more yeast (like 1%) and stick the thing right in the fridge after mixing, no room temp bulk ferment. It takes about 2 hours for it to cool down and the yeast to go to sleep so you’ve got that window.
Love this series man! I’m trying out your recipes as you go! Great stuff. Also, you should check out Kitchen Dial for conversions!
What a amazing series
Great video! 👑
thank you for posting all your content, especially your research into NY style pizza. ☺️ I am from VA and NY is far from me 😓😥 about 6-7 hours away 😓 but I love NY style pizza! And I love baking and cooking! You have helped me a lot to improve my pizza game hehe! -Again, thank you friend!!
Just found your channel through the YT algo. You are great! Thanks for the superb content. Please never change. Seen too many food channels lose their way due to follower boom.
This is awesome!
The reheating factor is something that I never considered before. Definitely will have to try that out next time.
I love this!!!
Wow most original content I've ever seen Pizza slices!!!!!!
This series is probably the best of all NYC pizza videos. Keep it up, hope your channel goes to the moon!
Great job with the video. Subscribed.
Dude, keep this content coming. It’s incredible… even if I’m a little let down with you not going to Lucali haha. Dang, what great content though! Do collabs, talk more about pizza, keep this stuff coming!
Best pizza videos on KZread 🔥
imo the reheat is essential, just like twice frying something. i would have skipped 2bros and new park, gone to Di Faras and Tommy's instead.
I went down this journey a couple of years ago. Ended up perfecting a hybrid Neapolitan crust. As for sauce, hand crushed San marzanos, salt, sugar and a really good olive oil. Agree on the low moisture mozzarella and sprinkle pecorino on top.
Great vid! The thing about some of these places is they have specialties. I would never get the normal cheese at bleeker st, but their version of a marg pizza is one of the best in the city. Keep up the work!

i also think judging the different price points against each other isnt super fair. The places Id go for a one dollar slice are obviously not the same quality as the 3 or 4 dollar slice places

Food Detective, it has been the best food exploratiom series I have seen, The Batman feel to it. To us, we ask, do more!! Make it your thing
Glad you made it to L'industrie! I've lived next door for a couple years now and it's the best pizza in Brooklyn in my opinion. To me it has more of a blend of a classic New York slice (the deck oven it's cooked in and the texture) mixed with a Neapolitan/Roman style (extremely high quality ingredients, higher heat / more airiness), and just tastes way more unique than any other pie in the city. If you go back, definitely try your Fig Jam and Bacon: it's their best slice! And close by at Best Pizza, their regular slice is a little sub par but their White slice is sublime. Enjoy watching your pizza journey, keep it up!!
