    For those playing at home, here's the recipe as I watched the video:
    ​Ingredients for Dough
    • 250 ml water
    • 320 grams 00 flour
    • 90 grams semolina rimacinata (adds a little crunch)
    • 30 grams EVOO (I weighed this to be 10 grams per tablespoon, and in my trials, I'm not sure I could tell the difference without experimenting)
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1 tsp dry yeast
    • 1 tsp honey
    Instructions
    1. (If cooking the same day) Get your oven and stone up to 500° F, so kitchen oven can achieve this. At least one hour to get stone hot.
    2. Mix water, oil, and yeast. Doesn't need to sit, just mix it well.
    3. Add flour (Not semolina) and mix by hand into a consistent paste.
    4. Add salt and mix. It should be very sticky.
    5. Add honey and mix. This could be done with the water.
    6. Add semolina and fold for like 15 minutes! If it's still sticky, add a little flour.
    7. Once well mixed, make a ball, cover, and rest for 30 minutes.
    8. Divide into 3 220 grams balls. Dust a sheet pan with flour, tuck the edges under, twist, tuck, nice ball. Rub with olive oil to prevent plastic cover from sticking. Cover for 3 to 5 hours, completely sealed. Once doubled (mine doubled on a summer day by 2 hours), use or refrigerate for 24 hours (to 5 days) for better flavor.
    Ingredients Sauce
    • San Marzano tomatoes, squish the juice out and put in mixing bowl. Roughly 6 or 7 tomatoes. (One 28 oz can worked for me)
    • Healthy pinch of salt (taste your tomato mixture first, different producers have a different profile in my experience).
    • Healthy pinch of sugar (same as with the salt, taste and adjust).
    • Tablespoon or two of EVOO
    Instructions
    1. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix by hand, crushing the tomatoes aggressively until mostly broken down. Don't need to spend a ton of time on this. (In my Bullet blender, 3 extremely short pulses was perfect. I like garlic so I added a smashed clove to the blend and gave it a day in the fridge, which was nice).
    Assembly
    • Shredded mozza
    • Tablespoon of dried oregano (unless you added it to the sauce)
    Use a very healthy amount of semolina and drop your dough ball on top. Cover the top surface with excess semolina. Press into a disk with one inch crust. Press, flip, press. If dough is dry enough, push semolina aside and continue shaping. You should end up with around 12 inch pie. The semolina in the dough makes it really strong so have at it.
    2. Add dough to pizza screen or peal depending upon your setup (instructions below). Might need a little stretching to fit completely.
    3. Add tomato sauce and spread.
    4. Add a sh¡tload of mozza, not much sauce visible. Don't go entirely to the edge to avoid melting into the oven.
    5. Sprinkle what looks to be tablespoon of dried oregano over the cheese.
    Pizza screen instructions
    No stone, drop this bad boy on the bottom rack. Watch for the cheese to bubble and remove.
    Pizza stone instructions
    Drop this bad boy on the stone, middle rack. Watch for the cheese to bubble, crust andcheese have nice color, and remove.
    (In my Ooni Koda 16, I preheated on full flame for 45 minutes, then drop the flame to low. Launched fairly close to flames and watched for preferred browning on the crust, rotated 180 degrees and repeated. This crust seems to handle heat better than 00 flour alone.)

    Two thumbs up from a former pizza maker at 'At's A Pizza, in Burlington, Mt Vernon, and Sedro-Woolley Washington. I made 3 kinds of sauce, 3 kinds of dough balls. Regular, Garlicky, and a dessert dough. We had big double stacked gas ovens. I'm retired now at 85 and make pizza at home. Both on screens and stone. Viva La Pizza. The old man is still baking it !

    This was my first video of Vito's. I did not want to invite anybody over because I was worried about how the pizza would turn out. I have never made a pizza before completely from scratch. Once I got the pizza out of the oven and I took my first bite, I was glad that I did not invite anybody. It was so good I did not want to share it with anyone. Thank you Vito for sharing your wisdom with us. I wish I had a shirt that advertised your name so I could wear it on motorcycle rides to advertise you here in Arizona. You have given me a passion for cooking pizzas for myself and for anyone who asks me to make them one. I always tell people about you Vito. If it was not for you, I would not be making pizzas for friends and clients. As long as they buy supplies, I make them A taste of New York!!

      Alright I made it. The sauce was perfect loved it. But once again the 00 flour just doesn’t work for me. When I attempt to stretch it, it is a disaster. I somehow got it on the screen no way I could have gotten it to work on a peel. It was still good, but they were hideous to look at. And it seems the 00 never gets done. Going to try this again with the King Arthur Organic Bread Flour it is way more forgiving to this novice pizza maker.

Then pulled it out, put on sauce and toppings, and baked for about 5 more minutes, again watching closely till the cheese was melted and had just a little bit of brown spots on top. Also, it's very important to follow his advice and let the dough rest in the fridge overnight, it really does make a huge difference in flavor, the difference between good and AMAZING.

I was able to roll this dough out first with my hands and then the rilling pin to get it super thin like an ⅛ of an inch without the dough falling apart. I put the pizza on a metal perforated sheet and cooked it on my bbq at 600 deg and it came out perfect and the crust was crispy. My family loved it. This is now my go to pizza.

    To be honest Vito, after 56 years eating pizza from my mother’s kitchen, the Bronx pizza places and then Long Island, I never saw them cooked on a screen before. Only the floor of the oven or stones. But I will try your recipe for this bc I missed it years ago. ❤😊 I hope your wife and kids are well. Ciao!

    I'm a New Yorker. You did good for your first time. Here is my constructive feedback.
    The crust should be brown. The crust on this pizza is pale because of the 00 Flour. NY style uses Bread Flour or All Purpose Flour. 00 Flour requires high temperatures (like 800+ degrees); it's suitable for a woodfire oven but not ideal for a commercial oven.
    480 degrees is a bit low. 500-550 is ideal.
    Your recipe for the sauce is spot-on accurate! Perfect! Though NY pizzerias use less (like 2/3 the amount that's used in this video). Too much sauce makes the crust soggy.
    This recipe uses a bit too much cheese. Use like 80% as much. NY pizzas have a little bit of red marbling. The cheese should homogenously cover half the surface area when it's raw (it will spread to fill the gaps when it melts). NY pizza doesn't want toppings to be too heavy; the crust is the star of the show.
    I like the honey.
    Pizza screens aren't common in NY. They use a stone or just put it in the oven shelf.
    Semolina flour is optional. Some pizzerias use it; some don't. Though it shouldn't be more than 25% of the flour mixture. It gives a chewy texture to the pizza while it's fresh out of the oven, but it's not a good texture if the pizza is sitting out for an hour or so. A lot of NY pizzerias do takeout and delivery, so they don't use too much Semolina

      Great comments. Also, oregano goes under the cheese so it doesnt dry out and burn in the oven. The right cheese is also critical. Grocery store shredded mozz isnt quite right. You need a pizza cheese. I prefer Grande brand low moisture mozz, which you can find at some food service stores. It aint cheap, and usually have to buy a bunch of it at once (5 lbs). Also, never seen anybody ever use honey in the dough. Usually just granulated sugar for the yeast to bloom. It also helps to age the dough overnight in the fridge for a more flavorful dough, and no screen. You need a stone to mimic an oven deck as the hot stone sears the bottom of the dough instantly. Im sure his version is good, but not true NY.
