Brits Try New York Style Pizza for the FIRST TIME… We Were Not Ready!

New York style pizza isn’t just food — it’s culture. And today, a British family is making it from scratch for the very first time… and we were NOT ready for what happened. What happens when a British family tries authentic New York–style pizza for the first time? This isn’t just pizza. In New York, it’s a way of life. Massive slices. Thin base. Foldable crust. No knife and fork. Eaten on the move. And if it doesn’t fold properly… New Yorkers will tell you straight. So today, inspired by what so many of you are watching right now across YouTube, we wanted to go deeper than just reacting. We wanted to make it ourselves — from dough, to sauce, to that very first fold. And what happened honestly… changed us. This wasn’t about copying. It was about understanding what makes New York style pizza different: the texture, the chew, the flavour, the culture. And when we finally took that first bite? We knew this was something special. 🍕 WHAT WE MADE — NEW YORK STYLE PIZZA (FROM SCRATCH) This is our first ever attempt at authentic New York–style pizza, using traditional techniques: • High-gluten bread flour for chew • Cold fermentation for flavour and stretch • Thin hand-stretched base with thick edges • Simple marinara sauce • Classic cheese blend • Big slices made to fold and eat on the move We didn’t grow up with food like this in the UK. No slice culture. No generational pizza traditions. So we followed an authentic American recipe, rested the dough overnight, stretched it by hand, and finally discovered why this style is legendary. And the result? “One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had.” “Better than anything we’ve ever bought.” “10 out of 10.” Not from a restaurant. Not from New York. From our own kitchen. ❤️ WHY THIS VIDEO MATTERS At Mr H & Friends, we don’t just try food — we respect where it comes from. This wasn’t about chasing a trend. It was about understanding American food culture properly, through flour, time, and family around the table. American food isn’t just what’s on the plate. It’s the tradition behind it. The people who grew up with it. The way it’s eaten. And this pizza reminded us why we started this journey in the first place. NEW HERE?
