just a beautiful night here in san paulo and so naturally when ivana and i get to a new country
one of the first things we do is on our youtube channel or even in our neighborhood
we ask the locals what should we be doing where should we be going
and most importantly what should we be eating so we were very surprised when so many brazilians
said you have to try brazilian pizza we were sort of expecting beans and rice yeah or feijoada yeah
or something but evidently in sao paulo especially there is a huge
pizza culture of this local dish known as brazilian pizza now i am wearing the national
football jersey of albania because for our taste buds albania has the greatest pizza we've ever
tried yeah we've tried many many types of pizza new york pizza chicago dip dish pizza
in canada we only have like the regular pizza pizza or domino's pizza which is kind of like
in canada mostly fast food but we've tried gourmet all these different countries all these different
pizzas and albania stands out now to be clear we've never been to italy although the reason
brazilians love their pizza so much and the pizza here is so good is because the italian
diaspora community is something like 30 million people here in brazil meaning about 15 percent
of the brazilian population has roots or ancestry in italy so ready to have a new favorite it's
possible yeah let's see if brazilian pizza can top albeit albanian pizza and as an added bonus
for this vlog we will be meeting up with gustavo so our local friend here can maybe help us order
the right thing and eat it in the right way as well as hopefully we can extend yet another
thank you to him yeah for the incredible christmas weekend super memorable all right with that let's
go eat some brazilian pizza oh it's right here oh we are the best vloggers ever what timing
we walked right to it that was an intro timed out expertly all right let's eat the return of gustavo
this one is called polished
looks good smells good this one is an early choice her favorite just covered in sausage i mean
now maybe wait a minute it might burn your mouth it's very hot it just came
right out of the oven behind you don't eat it with your hand you should eat it with quartz
and knives yeah you're right don't use the hangs usually but you can feel free to use the hands
when you're in brazil you do ask the brazilians so in brazil you eat pizza with forks and knives
this is for steak okay like a brazilian wood
how is it how is it different than like canadian pizza
um so first of all it's super high quality it's super um you know the ingredients are
really high quality in canada most of the time we have fast food pizza which is really terrible
although it tastes good um i will say there's not much sauce less sauce and more cheese seems to be
the brazilian style and i love the sausage on this one because it's so salty and just really good
okay honestly look at this pizza can you see it we got three different flavors in one
same with that one same with that one so in two pizzas we got six flavors i will say i want to
use my hands no no no no but i'm going to do it the right way i'm going to do the right way
like kind of like a fancy restaurant here so yeah i feel a bit underdressed i'm wearing
a football uniform and i'm eating with my hands i will say this five star pizza
so i got a pizza called portuguesa
and they have eggs like boiled eggs on the pizza something different in canada you never have
pulled eggs right something new plus they put a lot of onion like kind of
semi-raw onion lots of it like covering it and the dough this is a medium medium is still very thin
you know what i mean they asked us do you want medium dough or thin dough yeah we chose medium
and it's still very thin and it's it's it's cooked to perfection right i think it's a stone oven they
probably cook it in like less than five minutes or something the proper italian way very quick so it
seems to be italian pizza with a brazilian twist yes because it's still the stone uh very thin
high quality ingredients but maybe the ingredients are a little different yo by
the way the onion in brazil is different than the onion in canada this is so much stronger
like more pungent you know what i mean yeah just in general the onion is it's a different flavor
which is very funny to think but yes it's true yeah and i also got a pizza called carbonara
it's like a pasta pizza i thought it would be like quite heavy but it's actually quite light
i mean i don't feel heavy eating this pizza you know what i mean it's still quite light
it's different than the pizza in canada which is fast food pizza it's very doughy and the dough is
really low quality and it fills you up so fast this one is so light while still being pizza
what do you think good pizza good pizza there you have it it's uh six thumbs up from us oh yeah
okay what i have here is the calabresa so it's a little sausage
so this is the most popular pizza in all of brazil the most popular one so let me try it
you're gonna love ivana this is the one i started with this is the salty sausage it's so nice
oh we got the spicy one too yeah spicy sausage pizza really can't beat it
i can't talk right now good job ivana the world's biggest bite
i got a lot more flavors that i need to try three flavors so far three more and three more to go
so uh big shout out to this restaurant because there's three of us and we ordered three flavors
on each pizza without us asking them they cut each pizza into nine pieces so three slices per flavor
per pizza which is hard to do because if you go you know in half every time it's only even numbers
so big shadow to them and also uh they won't let you grab your own pizza whenever your plate is
empty they come by and serve you one yeah so it's really feeling like a fancy place although gustavo
was telling us uh we're not using fork and knife because it's fancy even at home a brazilian would
use pork a knife which to be honest the first time i've ever eaten pizza with fork and knife
that looks like a very healthy pizza this is my healthy pizza eaten with fork and knife
i've never had a piece that looks like this either
that's probably the healthiest it's really really good this pizza is called bye bye
we got it because when i was working in port uh in canada i had a bunch of portuguese co-workers
whenever i was working slowly they would say five five five five means go go it means go go go go
they would say under under wi-fi so we saw all the menu bye-bye i said we have to order the wi-fi
and uh gustavo was telling me that it's also very famous in rio yeah that is
maybe that's why the name of the pizza is wi-fi and you got the tuna this one's the tuna i'm
gonna try it now tuna is one of my favorite pizzas flavor and it's so good it looks so good and it's
pretty common in brazil as well it is if people like fish they're gonna like the tona pizza okay
so good
there you have it guys so i sort of regret uh setting up this whole video as
albania is the best can brazil beat albania because now i don't want to pick a favorite
um i will say this full disclosure in canada we invented the pizza with pineapple on it
which is called hawaiian pizza but it's from canada um a lot of people would tell you
it's a sin to put pineapple on pizza and just being honest i love pineapple pizza
so my point is full disclosure my opinion could be wrong i will say it's an absolute tie between
brazilian pizza and albanian pizza i can't pick a favorite i regret making the whole comparison
it is my first time using fork and knife which is really to be honest i don't like using pork
and knife this is the worst part of the pizza i looked around i peeked around and everybody in the
whole restaurant is using fork and knife yeah so i can't be the only guy using his hands if there's
any bad thing about brazilian pizza it's using pork and knife other than that five stars let's
be clear six star pizza no complaints about the pizza yeah today all right let's finish up we've
still got like a whole pizza left yeah let's see this is my first time having tuna on a pizza it's
called atu it's called attune pizza it actually smells like tuna it smells quite good yeah tuna
and onion i guess is it good surprisingly good surprisingly good and i will say since
we got here this place is full now you guys can probably hear the background noise uh monday at
this 8pm is called bras like brazil right and it's quoted as one of the top 10
restaurant pizza pizzeria in the world and it really is i would say the best
pizza we ever had tied with albania tied with albania although we have never been to italy
italy stay tuned for the italy pizza vlog coming sometime in the next three years when we go there
so good pizza though it's really really good guys you really can't beat it
you can't pick out anything wrong with it it's really really good yeah very good i will say the
dough tastes different i don't know the dough is a little bit sour the dough is a bit sour
and ghost was telling me that it's actually fermented there's a they have the natural ferment
fermentation process with the dough which is which is the same as italy or
different from italy this is a brazilian twist no i think that's the same meaning
you're right though the dough tastes different than what i'm used to in canada
yeah some sort of in canada i don't think it's fermented no probably nice yeah it's pizza pizza
or domino's pizza pizza it's a hut or something yeah this is good pizza guys you can't i mean
six star pizza really perfect they put lots of topping on their pizza
and less sauce not very saucy i'm okay with that it's good for me i'm into it very good
tried we tried but we cannot finish we're coming home with small little box half the box which we
will eat for breakfast or maybe in one hour so big thank you big brigado to gustavo thank you
guys for inviting me it was amazing pizza here and which one was your favorite my favorite i think
was the calabrese calabrese that was so good the most popular in brazil yeah it's kind of spicy so
nice yeah so nice yeah which one is your favorite i would say calabresa or i would say portuguesa
it's called portuguesa but it's actually brazilian pizza both very good and really really good my
favorite it's a little bit different it's not the traditional one it's the arugula
oh wi-fi wi-fi the green pizza you like that you like the salad pizza i like the sauce you know
so there you have it actually it is a pizzeria it's more on the upscale
quality yeah we also ordered like a cheaper quality pizza ones and it's still
good like we ordered a calabresa and it was like this thick the toppings like the pizza though
it's like this thin and the topping is like this thick definitely right yeah but still good but the
the pizza culture in brazil is strong and it's tied for first place who's telling me they even
have an all-you-can-eat pizza imagine that all you can eat with so many sweet flavors with passion
fruit flavor white chocolate a strawberry that's so amazing that's great pizza that's crazy all
you can eat pizza is like uh what an idea that's something special that's really something special
all right there you have it guys we're going to enjoy some more drinks and hang out with gustavo
