How Una Pizza Napoletana Became the No. 1 Ranked Pizza in the World — Handmade

Married,divorced,parents passed away...and this man is still running towards his passion.. this dude is a legend

Nearly every person could learn something from this man's mindset. "It's a good one, today". In spite of his ridiculous levels of experience, he is still committed to chasing perfection.

'This spoon was my grandmother's, every single pizza that I've made since I was 15 years old was made with this spoon.' This man's passion is second to none. I appreciate him

Despite the sheer level of mastery this man has displayed when he said "It's a good one today" that line felt so humble and appreciative of his own craft.

This is the best pizza making video I've ever seen. Hats off to his passion.

I love how willing he is to share some of his hard-earned secrets. He knows it's not just about having the instructions, and isn't stressed about competition using them.

I m Italian and I never seen anyone explain every single details so perfect like he did and the way he pass his passion almost make me smell the pizza and feel the warmth from the oven. Unbelievable

You can just tell someone is a true master when they are humble like this gentleman. He is not a chef...he's an artist. The way he pursues his art is like a spiritual journey. That's dedication. This video was beautiful! The part where he talks about all the changes in his life and how making dough and pizza was his constant was touching and deep. And that's no lie about San Marzano tomatoes. They're considered by many to be the Ferrari or Prada of canned tomato varieties. San Marzano tomatoes are now grown outside Italy in the US, but what first made American cooks seek out San Marzano tomatoes were cans of the official DOP San Marzano tomatoes, grown in a relatively small region between Naples and Salerno. DOP is the Italian abbreviation for Protected Designation of Origin, similar to the protected status of wines and foods like Parmigiano-Reggiano, Champagne, and Modena balsamic vinegar. Because of this designation, there's strict regulations that define them. These DOP tomatoes were famed for their balanced flavor that combines sweetness, tomatoey intensity and just the right amount of acid thanks to the volcanic soil high in potassium and phosphorous.

He's really a master at this craft. You can see his expertise in terms of the attention to detail from the dough, to the pomodoro and even the oven. Well deserved ranking!

Man, what an absolute craftsman. His passion for making pizza is unassailable. He was born to do this.

I'm from Naples, and usually American think that we are so jelous about our food and that we do everything better, but it is not. Seeing this guy so passionate about his work and his skills doing pizzas, make my heart warm and proud even if he isn't italian. His pizza seems so good and magical and I eat tons of pretty good neapolitan pizzas. When you showed your ingredients I made a big smile, because those are from my land and when you explained why they are so good, I smiled even more.Happy you earned the first pizzeria in the world, you deserved it.

I understand why it's the #1 ranked Pizza in the world. The enthusiasm and passion the chef demonstrates is incredible, he truly loves making Pizza's and even after doing it for 30+ years, he still looks forward to improving every single day. I hope I can find a passion like this someday

The passion this man has is infectious. I love making pizza from scratch. He's given me some new ideas.

This was just great, "it's a good one today" makes you realize this guy is really a master of his craft, when you understand that even being the very best at something, things might not be perfect every single time, just awesome

Just for your information : He got the first spot in the top 50 best world’s pizza. There is a Naples pizzeria, that got first place as well, it’s a tie and each year they change, the top 1 can become top 8 and so on. That’s doesn’t make him less, it’s an incredible achievement and actually I think that all the pizzas in the top 50 must be absolutely and insanely delicious because they are the 50 best out of 100’s of thousands pizza places around the world ! Check if you have one of the top 50 near you, if you do , enjoy !!!

I did not know that House MD has this passion for pizza!...Seriously man, I love your passion for your work, and I actually do the same with the sauce, cutting ends off and smashing it, never knew I was following the steps of a proper professional!

This is one of the best produced YouTube videos I’ve seen in a while. Perfect balance of the art itself, his passion for what he does and his personality. Great job guys.

The pureness of his expression 11:52 when he says "It's a good one today"... his love for the game really shines through.

The french baking technique mentioned at 2:18 is called Bassinage! Adding that little extra water at the end. It's either extra OR about 5% of the weighed water that's reserved to be added later.

simplicity at its peak.... its amazing how simple stuff he puts but makes a gem like his sauce is just simple tomatoes to look but have complexity at the same time
