When looking for advice on making pizza, you’d probably rather ask someone who does it for a living instead of a TV host. However, Jimmy Kimmel’s unique career has led him to meet all kinds of experts, and he’s received cooking advice from some of the best people in the business. He’s passionate about making perfect pizza at home and has recently shared his best tips for that.
In a recent episode of Hot Ones, Kimmel shared his knowledge with the audience (the video currently has over 1.5 million views). As he said, he got the best advice from chef Chris Bianco, and it is to be sparing with the ingredients. “I remember, as a kid, ordering extra cheese on the pizza. Yeah, of course, I want the extra cheese. But the truth of the matter is that the best pizza has just the right amount of sauce on it, just the right amount of cheese on it. If you put too much, the dough doesn’t get cooked properly,” Kimmel says.
He personally prefers Bianco DiNapoli canned tomatoes for his own pizza, as he believes they are perfect for the job. And he has a full-size brick pizza oven at home, which always brings pizza to the next level.
