- Let's get a slice of this.
(people chattering)
Wow.
Can't wait to try this.
Wow, this is way different than any type of pizza
I've had in New York before.
And, the first thing that sticks out to me is this dough.
Here they serve dough that they have a patent for
called Wellbeing Dough.
And it's not just like flour, salt, water,
like most pizza doughs you have.
It's actually made of 12 different grains
and green tea as well.
There's a real rustic taste to it
and that green tea also adds a little bit of earthiness
which is really nice.
Mmm.
Out of all the pizzas we got,
this one's actually really tame,
so let's get into one of these more wild Korean pizzas.
So, you're probably asking what gold crust is.
And, really it's one of three crazy crusts they do here
at Pizza Maru.
And, this one is a sweet potato puree
that goes all the way around the outside
along with string cheese that they then fold in
and then cover with handfuls of cheddar cheese
that gets this nice crust on it
almost like a pan pizza or a Detroit-style pizza.
Let's try it out.
Mmm.
Whoa.
Wow, this is awesome.
Bulgogi belongs on pizza.
This is almost like a stir fry all on top of this pizza
with the onions, peppers, barbecue sauce,
and just this delicious bulgogi that's got
nice little charred bits from being in that oven
just the perfect amount of time.
That sweet potato, that's crazy.
I should've started with the crust.
Mmm.
We got one more pizza and we've saved
the best crust for last.
Let's check it out.
Ooo.
Oh man, look at this crust.
I think this is the only time I've ever been excited
to eat a crust first.
Tear off a piece.
Whoa.
I never thought I would say this, but sweet potato and pizza
Are a match made in Heaven.
This is so good.
I don't wanna forget about the rest of the pizza here.
And, what we have here is actually pretty traditional
Korean-style pizza which is corn, cheese,
potatoes, bacon, and, of course, mayo.
And, again it's like a flavor combo
that I would never think of but already I'm like,
oh yeah, that makes a ton of sense.
It's almost like a baked potato on a pizza.
And, surprisingly, the mayo
really holds this whole thing together.
And, I kinda think we should start adopting
that more on pizza, more of this Korean mayo
because it is so damn good.
- [Woman] What are your thoughts on mayo?
- I know everyone has their favorite slice spot,
but I highly suggest all you New Yorkers,
make the trip out to Pizza Maru here in Flushing
and give this Korean pizza a shot.
