Eva and I love Neapolitan pizza more than just about anything on earth, but even we have to admit that perfecting it at home is more of a hobby than most home cooks have the time, patience, or oven budget for. Things are no different in Italy, where very few people even try to make Neapolitan pizza at home.

But they DO make pizza. Usually the kind of pizza we're sharing with you today. It's delicious and has a ton of advantages for the home cook. Even being the Ooni-owning, Neapolitan pizza nerds that we are, we still make this pizza more often at home than any other kind!

  • @calvinlevie943
    Thank you, I worked construction, no lunch ,my bosses mothers house we stopped .He is Italian. His mother made on very big bread she made roasted peppers with eggs and I have never had another sandwich like that again magnificent
  • @nancybyrd2221
    The dough reminds me of making foccacia.....high hydration dough, olive oil in nearly every stage and finishing using the fingertips.
  • @hildaovalle1455
    No one else creates as Eva does. She has brought to us the most profound Italian cuisine, what we never see in our commercialized food. Thank you, that was absolutely amazing.
  • @lisaroriguez4196
    Compleatly off topic, I love Eva's hair! I am retired from 33 yrs as a hairstylist who specialized in Curly hair, I have a special love for curls of all sizes. I always head out with wet hair, yes even as a hairstylist. I had never seen Evas damp before. I Loved watching her curls come to life in the video. Oh & the pizza looked delicious!😍🇺🇸

    Hey Paisan, my great grandmother from Calabria made square pan cheese pizza's every Friday during Lent when I was growing up on the south side of Chicago in the 50's,60's and 70's. She would add onions, mushrooms, peppers and tomatoes also. I will never forget it or her. Thank you for stirring that wonderful memory of my Nana.
  • "Because Harper is always hungry" the shade she threw and the response of just "hey" got me. 😅
  • @elenasegas2109
    Thank you so much! I’m so happy that I found your channel. I’m sick and tired of the Food Network and Cooking Channel. No one shows you how to cook anymore. It’s all stupid competitions. Growing up, I learned to cook, knife skills, different cuisines, by watching PBS’s Saturday afternoon lineup. But that’s all but disappeared. I’ve learned so much about Italian food from you. No wonder I’ve been unimpressed with my pasta. Because I was making it all wrong! Eva, you are amazing!
  • @A.Briggs628
    Eva’s hands are worth a million dollars! Her knowledge of how to make authentic Italian food, is worth a billion dollars! I’m wishing I were there to try this pizza. Looks delicious, Eva! Harper..no wonder you’re always hungry. Eva is a genius in the kitchen! Thanks for sharing this recipe with us.. I love you both! ❤😘😊
  • @IvyMaeInReno
    Not only does Eva make the most refined and elegant dishes (pizza can be elegant!) but Harper's production values are off the chart. It must be wonderful to work in such a beautiful space. And I LOVE their choice of music -- such a great mix.
  • I don't know about others, but during the lockdown days, I became familiar wth how to make an artisianal bread, and EVERY video seemed like a cut and paste job from the others down to the eventual shape of the resulting bread using the similar technique of fold, turn 90 degrees and fold again, then wait 30 minutes and repeat. This is the FIRST video that actually takes what is presented in those videos and both explains why it's happening as well as produces a different end result! This is why Eva is so wonderful to watch! She actually knows what she's doing and is able to fluently pass those teachings on to the audience! Well done, PG, well done!

    In Italy, homemade pizzas are always “Pizza in Teglia” (Pizza in pan). Round pizzas are made in pizzerias, but also in pizzerias, like in Rome, they make various Pizza in Teglia with various kinds of ingredients on top (they are usually made to take away). One chooses some pieces of various kinds and takes them home or eats them on the street.

    My Mom used to put her dough in the bowl, cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel, and place the bowl in the center of the bed on top of the bedspread for a few hours until the dough rose. I asked her why....she said because that's the way Grandma did it. :) Grandma was from Puglia. I'm thinking that the warmth from the center of the bed and the quiet room with no vibrations of footsteps, must have helped to make it rise. This episode brought a tear to my eye. Thank you, Eva!
  • @KBTCaseyFlynn
    I always mix all my bread doughs by hand. That is how you become familiar with different doughs and their characteristics so you can do Eva’s style of extra precise measurements.
  • @patrickbobb8309
    Harper, just always remember:”Trust the process” 😂😂
  • @rudolfschenker
    Mama Mia that dough takes a LOT of time, work, and patience! It makes you WORK for its pillowy, heavenly deliciousness! I absolutely loved seeing Eva just going in with her hands, making bread like women in Calabria have done for untold centuries. The way she kept folding and flipping all those heavenly dough pillows, it's like a skill she was born with! Thanks you guys for sharing so many incredible Italian treats and treasures.
  • @Tanias112
    I have been making focaccia pizza for several years now, a more lazy way than shown on this video; no kneed or folding, just resting for around 12 hours, spread into container as shown in this video, rest again for around 30 minutes, put your favourite toppings and bake. It's just so easy and tasty. Definitely going to try your toppings and the sandwich one - yum!
  • @manonn2006
    Interesting how this recipe somehow made it to my family all the way to Bulgaria. This is the only way my family has made pizza and it never failed us! It all looks amazing!
  • @dawnhammons4457
    I am so excited to start making Italian food here in the US. My grandma was born in Sicily. She is full blooded Italian. She came to America with her family when she was a little girl. Mary Barbieri was her name. She would speak Italian sometimes but we never could understand her. I would love to learn to speak Italian and make Italian food. I want to start embracing my heritage. I love you guys, you are awesome.
  • @jhbrown1010
    My mother and grandmother (Sicilian) made pizza like this. The sauce was raw and topped with anchovies (sometimes shrimp or octopus), arugula, salami, mushrooms and thinly sliced garlic and mozzarella. deliziosa! My grandfather liked potato and pecorino and sage.
