i have not been this excited for a video in a long time today we're going to be
traveling all over queens showing you five amazing pizza places you have to
visit and we're going to be joined by somebody born and raised here for that
local perspective you don't want to miss this manhattan and brooklyn have good pizza we get
it it's overplayed but here in queens we have some spots of our own to brag about
almost 2pm line out the door here i feel like a new yorker has to consume pizza
at least once or twice a week oh yeah it's just pizza and calzones really simple menu
okay our first time it's three regular way to go okay
that's it all together yeah cash only super fast super efficient what i love about this
place is you're five minutes from jfk airport so this could be your very first slice in new york
city imagine that my dad would like this yeah he loves thin crust he always asks everywhere
we go for a thin crust pie nice little char cheese to sauce ratio let's take a bite
you know light airy crust this is a great first slice in new york city this is like
your prototypical grab-and-go new york city slice this is quality i can see why people
would order two or three of these i kind of want to just go right to the crust you know
it's like when you go to an italian restaurant they give
you like the breadsticks for the olive oil just like that perfect
you know considering that we're eating five slices today anything that's light and thin
is actually a benefit for this little food challenge do you think that in queens there's
a certain pride about neighborhood spots yes every neighborhood has a good pizza place
but sometimes certain ones last longer than others anywhere in queens kind of just
find the nearest neighborhood and see if they have a pizza restaurant that's older than 40
years and odds are it's got good pizza so we're basically riding around queens and a red mustang
eating a lot of pizza what poor life decisions have led me down this dark and dismal path
i like astoria i do too i could definitely live here i have friends i could definitely live in a
store i used a lifeguard at the pool yeah yeah we used to go around lunch to pick a different spot
and the community knew who we were we'd show up in the bright orange and exactly who you are right
yeah that's how this whole concept started started with me experimenting stuff at home
this one this is really cool slice got honey sriracha ranch jalapenos black sesame seeds
the party in your mouth got indian tikka masala with jalapenos we got loaded tater tots
steak truffle fried oreo grilled cheese pizza especially on the weekend when everyone's
out just chilling that's when we'll crank out liberia it's all kinds of crazy stuff comes out
so what we do is we like to put all our favorites on our on one pizza we got uh sweet potatoes with
the marshmallows nice toasted and melted and the second bite is the stuffing homemade stuffing in
the third bite you go back to the sweet potatoes with the marshmallows then for the grand finale
you got the homemade turkey with gravy and a honey cranberry sauce you can eat it from the front
or from the back from the side get crazy tough decisions we'll see we'll see i don't even know
where to begin with a slice like this this is basically your thanksgiving dinner in one should
i go from the back should i go from the front what would you do well are you more of a turkey
person or do you like your sides first like when the plates brought to you at thanksgiving what
do you eat first the sides of the turkey sides go over the sides oh right so we're going from
the bottom to the top you got to tell me in the comments if you would eat this i'm curious at the
bottom here we've got marshmallow and sweet potato what are we doing oh my god little cranberry
it's exactly as you would imagine it imagine mixing all of your favorite
sides from thanksgiving into one i immediately noticed the sweet potato when i took that first
bite this is probably the most unique pizza you've ever had turkey on a pizza
never thought i'd see the day pairing it with the cranberry sauce and the gravy i think you're
either gonna love this or hate this if you're looking purist maybe you won't like it for someone
like me that's all about experimenting fantastic i think i'm gonna move one of these to the front
i'm gonna mush that up oh yeah i'm just gonna i don't even know how to do it
but i thought it was gonna be you gotta give it a little find that cannoli sauce dunk it
and just they literally have a pie for every like taste bud yeah you know what i mean if you want
sweet they have sweet you want spicy of spicy if you want spicy with a little
cheese and a little mozzarella they got it they're the owners of punjabi
i'm very familiar with that food because my girlfriend's from there let's try it
oh yeah have you ever tried opening a samosa and just eating it flat oh wait it's it's a slice
does he get more queens than this right here a lot of queens is covered by train yeah i'd say
but this is how you know you're in new york at the very end of the line they smack you with a massive
advertisement funny enough this is the only place that i actually haven't been to on our list
and this is the only place in the video that i have been to on the list there's not many places
in new york that look like a deli from the outside and have great pizza inside even if you're not a
fan of pizza you can get imported italian goods right here do three plain we're doing a video
good good pr here i'm i'm his pr manager yeah with the sunglasses all right all right
it's delicious this isn't your average looking new york city slice a lot of mozzarella
yeah it looks good i mean apparently they make their mozzarella fresh every morning so you know
you're getting quality fresh ingredients every time you bite a piece of pizza bite
i can taste the mozzarella i can i just taste the difference already it's light right it's
a really simple pizza honestly just simple fresh ingredients doesn't take much we're also eating in
the middle of a deli in queens so if you're ever coming here to get some italian products you might
as well just pick up a slice while you're waiting for them to cut your mozzarella every neighborhood
will have a good pizza location but it's the story that goes with it that really makes it that much
better you know we're in the middle of a market in a busy city a busy town of astoria having a slice
of pizza and a very good slice at that they even have my best friend's family soda here
limonata the cecilia lemon soda and then they have the blood orange if you see these anywhere
you will not regret tasting this james 42 minutes to go 7.4 miles welcome to new york
danny's house of pizza love the name and we've already got a line out the door
at like six o'clock just keep an eye on how often these guys are picking up a new piece
of dough and making a new pie because it's literally every five seconds you'll never
have a slice that's been sitting around you'll always have a slice that's relatively fresh if not
still hot from the oven well that's the advantage of a really popular place it keeps moving
this is like a local spot yeah these guys have been here forever i recognize them since i've been
coming there feel bad giving it away honestly no because people should taste good pizza you
know if you like the sweet sauce and you're a fan of pesto you've got to come to danny's
sometimes it's so good that you just want to like eat it right in front go for a walk you know
pull up on the side and just put it on the hood of your red ford mustang
i don't know if anyone else even does this i have yet to see an authentic just original
cheese pesto slice myself i mean i've seen the artichoke slice which kind of looks like
this but it's not this and i'm not a big fan of the artichoke slice to be honest with you
oh wow
that cheese snuck up on me damn you taste it it's really basily it's got a strong flavor
try how the locals have it oh let's do it you order a side of the sweet sauce
and you give it a pour right down the middle i could smell that sauce already
there it is i love sweet tomato sauce it's like one of my weaknesses i really
love a sweeter tomato sauce but with the pesto when you you combine the sweet sauce i think it
it kind of counteracts how strong the pesto flavor is it completes the circle you know what i mean
exactly it completes the circle of pizza stardom
i don't think i've ever also had a slice where i had to put tomato sauce on myself
just just at the end there what the heck was that
this guy's running he must have stolen something did he steal something
that guy specifically ran through our pizza review doesn't see we're filming here can he
steal stuff on his own time he must be running home to get some money to get some of this pizza
i was just about to say try the plain slice i think you know that i'm gonna love this yeah
it's not thick it's light taste that sweet sauce all right chip this is it for me this
is my style you just want to keep going this is actually got to be like top five sauces
i've had in new york that i like this is like my specific flavor that i'm into my specific taste
danny's like has it for me since 1959. what do you think about danny's how often do you come here
oh yeah so of all the places on the video nyx hits closest to home for you huh yeah well in
fact we are in my home of forest hills this happens to be my number one pizza place on
today's list in my opinion and any list i would recommend anyone coming to queens to try
the big thing to remember guys says right here no slices it's a pie spot yes which means it's
that good that you have to just get the whole thing just get a small pie with half pepperoni
half plain but with extra cheese on the water this is a cute pie a small pie i feel like if i
was hungry enough i could eat this whole thing by myself on certain days of the week when i haven't
seen certain friends in a long time we will come here sit right there and each order a large pie
and it comes with a double decker version of this big pie on top big pie on the bottom and
then two of them and we just dig in i'm a fan look at that i was dreading having more pizza
because i'm so full these are so small these are thin perfectly just splitting
with someone you know sidestep slice all right bon appetit let's go let's try this
just like i remember good consistency great cheese to sauce ratio on this love the mozzarella
a little fresh basil on top nice pull
you're waiting all day to do that weren't you you're waiting all day for that the extra cheese
you can keep going it's like a mozzarella stick if i were to come here for the first time
get whatever pie you like customize it to your specialty and you will not regret it this is
different this isn't your your grab-and-go slice this is like a nice occasion you're celebrating
something you haven't seen your boys in a while bam right here yeah date night movie theaters
down the block coming to forest tales grab a slice before the flick can't go wrong and now
you're going to tell us down below in the comments did we miss anything what other spots and queens
should we go to next for a part two we wanna know thank you so much for watching as always
