00:00What did you say?
00:02Okay, now we play.
00:04Ari, what happened?
00:06What did I do?
00:10We should wash our hands first.
00:12Oh, very good, yeah.
00:18I love what you've done with space.
00:20Oh, thank you.
00:22I did it this morning.
00:24I have made a pizza before
00:26because my family is Italian
00:28and my mom has a big pizza oven
00:30so I've made a few.
00:32Are you a bit of a master, a dough tosser?
00:34Well, I didn't say that.
00:36I said, are you a dough tosser?
00:38Yeah, I am a dough tosser.
00:40I've been since a very young age.
00:42We have some vegan accoutrement
00:44and some non-vegan.
00:46Some dairy and meaty options as well from my side.
00:48All of the bases are covered.
00:50This is just an incredible setup
00:52that we've got here.
00:54Thank you to the New York Times.
00:58Yeah, I love to cook.
00:59I just don't do it often.
01:00When I am cooking, it's usually a sign
01:01that there's, like, friends coming round.
01:04I love to just roast a whole bunch of vegetables
01:06and play it by ear.
01:09Hi.
01:10Hello.
01:11This is Mr. Bailey.
01:12And this is Ms. Grande.
01:13We are here with the New York Times.
01:14To make pizzas.
01:18What's your favourite pizza place?
01:19When I first moved to London, from Oxford, where I'm from,
01:22there was a pizza place called Papa de Chia.
01:24Papa de Chia.
01:25And there was a pizza called The Completer
01:26which had every ingredient.
01:27The Completer?
01:28Yeah.
01:29Sounds intense.
01:30It was intense, but it really got me through
01:32some quite exciting years.
01:34Wow.
01:35The Completer.
01:36That's so scary.
01:37That's what I thought of immediately.
01:38Where's your favourite pizza?
01:39Apart from the one you were about to make.
01:40My family's favourite Italian restaurant in New York
01:43is La Masseria.
01:44In LA, I enjoy Crossroads
01:46because it's, like, a plant-based vegan place.
01:49They make beautiful pizzas.
01:51Yeah, what's your pizza game plan?
01:52I don't know.
01:53I just have to not get really excited by everything.
01:55I'm kind of simple,
01:56so I'm gonna have to try to go outside of my...
01:58Be economic.
01:59...normal comfort zone
02:00because there's so many beautiful things to use.
02:02Okay, now we can get into the dough.
02:04I don't know if you've seen this technique before.
02:11I have my own approach.
02:17And then you do a little mini toss.
02:19It's like you go like that.
02:20You know what I mean?
02:21Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
02:22I think that's enough for me.
02:24Wow.
02:25Mine's gonna take over.
02:27No, this is great.
02:28This is great.
02:29Yours has some real elasticity.
02:31You wanna keep the middle kind of with thinness there.
02:34Yeah.
02:35That's where it all goes.
02:36Just so the pizza knows its limits.
02:38Yeah, someone's got to.
02:40Someone's got to.
02:41You can do it.
02:42Yeah.
02:43Is this fresh basil that I can use,
02:44or is this for, like, is this for the set dressing?
02:46Just using it at the end after your pizza comes out,
02:49so it doesn't work.
02:50I'm sorry.
02:51I'm sorry.
02:52Am I allowed to take these over here?
02:56Also set dressing?
02:57Guys, this is also set dressing.
02:59Should I do a little stuffed crust?
03:00Stuffed crust?
03:01Is that what you said?
03:02Yeah, I'm gonna stuff my crust.
03:03Oh, wow.
03:04Very forward.
03:05What's your earliest or fondest memory of food?
03:08Minona's cooking.
03:09Yeah, family cooking.
03:10Pasta.
03:11My nanny used to make amazing roasts,
03:13and she lived about a seven-minute walk,
03:15and we'd always go around on a Sunday.
03:17Cute.
03:18Sunday roast.
03:19Family roast, yeah.
03:20The cornerstone of the day was dinner.
03:21We would always have breakfast and dinner together as a family.
03:23I didn't realize, you know, that was kind of rare.
03:25Yeah, we would do Sunday dinners and play cards.
03:28My family would play a game called May I?
03:30Oh, yeah.
03:31We still play it.
03:32Good, healthy family competition.
03:33Yeah.
03:34If you were to show each other around your hometowns,
03:36where would you go eat?
03:37Well, my hometown, I remember, got a Beijing diner that opened
03:40in, like, the 90s, and that was, like, supreme,
03:43because they'd serve wine.
03:44So I'd probably take you there.
03:45That's funny.
03:46And we'd have, like, crispy shredded chili beef
03:48and a bottle of white wine.
03:49Where would I take you?
03:50Where would you take me?
03:51In Boca?
03:52Raton?
03:53I don't know.
03:54My house was always the place to be,
03:55because everyone was always cooking and eating there.
03:57But the town center mall had some zingers.
03:59We had a place called Stir Crazy.
04:01That was a big hit.
04:02We probably would have gone there.
04:03What did your nonna make?
04:04What was, like, her signature?
04:05Her sauce was iconic.
04:08And the funniest thing was the dynamic between my nonna and grandpa,
04:11because even though she had been good at cooking for, you know,
04:1560 years, he still didn't trust that it was going to be right.
04:19He would always check and she'd be like,
04:21go the hell away.
04:22I know what I'm doing.
04:23And he'd be like, all right, it's perfect.
04:24Oh.
04:25It was funny.
04:26Mozzarella, anyone?
04:27The vegan, the plant-based mozzarella.
04:30Time to bury myself in that.
04:33Johnny is doing, like, the most advanced pizza-making
04:37I've ever...
04:38I didn't think it was going to be like this today.
04:40This is really incredible.
04:42So what's your plan from here?
04:44I think if I can just bring out the edges, like a sunrise.
04:47Yeah, that's beautiful.
04:49Have you ever cooked for each other?
04:50Do you remember when you played some music and I...
04:52Oh, my God, that's right.
04:53It was really good, yeah.
04:54That was so sweet.
04:55It's the first time I heard...
04:56We can't be friends.
04:57Yes.
04:58Because I had just written it and I was so nervous about it.
05:00I was like, I think I need to put out music.
05:02And I was like, will you tell me what you think?
05:04I'm scared.
05:05I freaked out.
05:06You were so cute.
05:07I was like, it's a bop.
05:08No, it was really sweet.
05:09But what else?
05:10No, I listened to three tracks.
05:11Really?
05:12Yeah.
05:13You played three.
05:14What the hell did I play?
05:15I remember I roasted trumpet mushrooms, right?
05:18Yeah.
05:19And we made chips.
05:20They were seasoned with paprika and stuff.
05:21Yeah, it was delicious.
05:22Yeah.
05:23And I think there was a vegan pesto involved as well.
05:25And we had a sushi spread on top of that as well.
05:27Oh, yes, that's right.
05:28And we ordered also from Planta Queen.
05:30Does this look boring?
05:32No, I think it looks well put together.
05:34It looks like a Play-Doh pizza.
05:37Yeah, it does.
05:38Has anyone else from the cast thrown a dinner party?
05:40John loves to host them.
05:41It started with a dinner for me with John.
05:42Yeah, yeah.
05:43And his mum was there.
05:44And she shouted down to the stairs, she's like, if you work with my son, it will be the best
05:47thing in the world.
05:48And she was completely right.
05:49She was the one who got me the part.
05:51We had a lovely meal and a lovely long chat at the beginning of what it turned out to be.
05:56But no one else could have ever been Pierro ever.
05:59Wait until you see my pizza.
06:02I'm kneading it like a cat that sort of got taken away from its mum at a young age.
06:06Yeah.
06:07Yeah, you really are.
06:08I'm purring as well.
06:09Can we just make sure it's still slidable?
06:11Yeah.
06:12Oh, yeah.
06:13Good point.
06:14A little.
06:15I'm getting a little jiggle, but just a jiggle.
06:16That's brilliant.
06:17Look at that.
06:18Are you going to put anything else on yours?
06:19I was just going to address that.
06:20I should, and I will.
06:22But in real life, this is where I stop.
06:24To me, this is about enough.
06:27Johnny, do you want to explain what you're doing?
06:29I'm experimenting.
06:30I just suddenly thought if I sear the side, it will rise and ooze like a pie.
06:35Oh, wow.
06:36That's genius.
06:37I really like colorful tomatoes.
06:39I'm mixing in some orange and yellows.
06:41I try and go to Australia once a year.
06:43The thing is, is that with pizza specifically, it's obviously, you can't beat the ingredients.
06:47No.
06:48And the delicious flavors.
06:49Of a fresh Italian authentic pizza.
06:51Yeah.
06:52It's true.
06:53Of the ground.
06:54You really can't.
06:55Sorry.
06:56Go on.
06:57So sorry.
06:58Can I get some of your ass jokes?
06:59Please, come in.
07:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:01Look at these beautiful broccolinis.
07:02See, I'm inspired by every ingredient.
07:04I just don't have the point of view that is required to be an artist at this level of pizza
07:09artistry.
07:10I think I'm going to put one in the middle.
07:12Do you think pineapple belongs on pizza?
07:17Do I?
07:19No.
07:22I'm not saying that you're wrong.
07:24I'm just saying that I've never even let my mind go there.
07:27You know, and I know plenty of Italians who like it as well.
07:29So it's not like, I'm not really, I don't like, I'm not firmly, I'm not judging, I promise.
07:32Do you like it?
07:33It's a, it's, it's a, it's a, it's a heinous crime.
07:38It really is.
07:39Yeah.
07:40I'm going to put some oyster mushrooms online.
07:42Just because I'm so excited to see them.
07:44The problem is I can focus on one thing.
07:46A conversation or a pizza.
07:48I feel like I've only been able to hear half of what's been said.
07:52Because I'm doing something.
07:54Just so you know, this is not me.
07:56I wouldn't make this pizza outside of this.
07:58But there's such a gorgeous.
08:03It's telling a story of like the beginning of life.
08:05Oh my God, yes.
08:06The one sprout of an original idea.
08:08Yes.
08:09This is, this is the life cycle.
08:10This is the human.
08:11Yeah.
08:12This is birth.
08:14In so many ways that worked.
08:15Yeah.
08:16I call this pizza.
08:17Watching it happen.
08:27During filming of these movies, was there ever a time you guys couldn't stop laughing?
08:31We actually had two moments.
08:32Is that okay?
08:33Are you thinking about?
08:34I'm thinking about two.
08:35Yeah.
08:36But the worst.
08:37Which one are you thinking of?
08:39Michelle's close.
08:40Oh, there were three times actually.
08:43There was one that was unbearable.
08:45They all had different flavors.
08:46Yeah.
08:47But this one was the worst because Michelle Yeoh had just won her Oscar.
08:52We worked with her like two days later.
08:54And something about the wedding scene was really hard for us.
08:57I think they were like, we're not going to show you Ari in her dress until.
09:00Until I'm walking down the aisle.
09:01I think that's what I was going.
09:02Yeah.
09:03I think they were really building it up.
09:04Which they thought was going to be really emotional and like, you know, sweet and.
09:07But it was only funny because.
09:09Because of the train.
09:10Yes.
09:11Because it was.
09:12It was like, it was like if you bumped into someone who was like in the North Pole trying
09:14to get just to the final bit.
09:16Yeah.
09:17Yeah.
09:18You were like.
09:19Well because John, John had told me to please keep my train as still as possible because
09:25they happened to be shooting.
09:27For some reason Johnny arrived when they were shooting the overhead.
09:30And you're seeing the big 25 foot wedding train and the veil and whatever.
09:33But there was, there was a lot of roughage and like twigs on the floor that my, my train
09:38kept getting caught on.
09:39So John gave me this note right before we went and he was like, hey Ari, please just
09:42try to keep your head as still as possible.
09:44And Johnny's there.
09:45Taking the whole weight of it on your neck.
09:47And you see her, she's coming down.
09:49And John.
09:50And it's your beautiful wife to be.
09:51And Johnny.
09:52Completely locked in.
09:53And I'm shaking.
09:54He looked absolutely stunning.
09:55There was just a lot of effort that had to go in.
09:56Thank you so much.
09:57There's no way I didn't look like the most worried person in America.
09:58He was so far away that I couldn't see him.
09:59And then as soon as he came into focus, I see that he's like this crying, laughing,
10:16trying to withhold his tears.
10:17And then by the time we got to the altar and Michelle Yeoh.
10:20It was bad.
10:21Who, by the way, there's no way that Madame Horrible is ordained.
10:24No.
10:25But that's okay.
10:26But by the time we got to the end, we just, we were giggling.
10:28It was awful.
10:29And it was close up on her.
10:30On Michelle.
10:31Addressing the wedding.
10:32You could see the tiny tips of our noses.
10:34Yeah.
10:35And they were shaking.
10:36Just going.
10:37And John was like, you guys.
10:38And Michelle was also so cool about it.
10:41Oh yeah.
10:42She was like, yeah, it happens.
10:43I have salted my pizza.
10:46I have garnished my pizza as much as I am comfortable going.
10:50How about you?
10:51I've eaten more.
10:52I've eaten more than I've put.
10:53What do you have so far, Johnny?
10:54I have a little mushroom in the middle.
10:57Um, what did you say?
11:00So far, I have a pizza that has sausage, artichoke, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, stuffed crust with cheese.
11:07Mm-hmm.
11:08One olive.
11:09There's a whole lot of hope and optimism and faith in there.
11:11Yeah.
11:12But this is my garden.
11:13It's an urban garden, isn't it?
11:14It's got some sauce, some fresh tomatoes, some oyster mushrooms, two guys in the middle.
11:20And it has some rosemary crust.
11:22It looks delicious.
11:23Yay.
11:24Oh my god, you're going still.
11:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:26There's a lot that's changed since he described.
11:28I'm going to make this an homage to the Completa Pizza.
11:31Oh, cute!
11:32I think.
11:33I love that yours is like a tribute to home and mine is like offensive to my family.
11:37Do you know what I mean?
11:38Yeah.
11:39Say goodbye to my heritage.
11:40Yeah.
11:41No one is like, what the hell is that broccolini doing in the middle?
11:44My mom hates rosemary.
11:45I mean, this is a disaster.
11:46No, I think it's good.
11:48Well, I like it.
11:49I should put one of these flowers on here because it's so beautiful.
11:52But it feels like it's going to ruin it.
11:57But it's so pretty.
11:58And I can't.
11:59Why don't you just put them around so they can bake around it?
12:03Genius.
12:04That's nice.
12:05Yeah.
12:06Bait beans?
12:07Is that a challenge?
12:08Johnny.
12:09I'm actually, that must have been done before.
12:10You have to, this is, it's done.
12:12Do I have to stop?
12:13I think it's done.
12:14You know what, Marmite would be a knockout on pizza.
12:16Hold on.
12:17What?
12:18This is not logistically, no, because this doesn't go, hold on.
12:20Oh, you knew this girl.
12:21Oh, who set me up to do that?
12:23Oh, we can make another pizza.
12:26Guys, come on, how much time do we have?
12:29Do we have time for a few more pizzas?
12:32Okay.
12:33This is us in the middle.
12:35What?
12:36A mushroom and a broccoli.
12:38That's us.
12:39Ready?
12:40Um, top or bottom?
12:44I'm ready now.
12:49You're on top.
12:50Alright.
12:51Look at that.
12:52Perfect.
12:53Wow.
12:54Okay.
12:55Well done.
12:56Okay.
12:57Okay, start the clock.
12:59After you.
13:00Okay.
13:01Okay.
13:02Okay, start the clock.
13:03After you.
13:04Okay, now we play.
13:06Has it got a name?
13:07Moving.
13:08You can name it.
13:09Flubber.
13:10Flubber.
13:11Well, alright.
13:12Yeah?
13:13I know you've lived a long life, but you're just about to go into a new little chapter.
13:18Yes.
13:19You've worked so hard, and you've been through so much, and you deserve all of the good
13:28that's on the other side coming to you.
13:30Thrive.
13:31Be kind.
13:32Yes.
13:33Be kind.
13:34Be grateful.
13:35Stay close to your family.
13:36And, um...
13:37Keep on bubbling.
13:38Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:39After you, sir.
13:40I don't really trust myself with this part.
13:45Did I mix it enough?
13:46Yeah.
13:47This was your secret wish and dream.
13:49Yes, it is.
13:50That was one for you.
13:52Oh my God.
13:53Okay.
13:54Perfect.
13:55Great.
13:56Great.
13:57Did you make a wish or did you give it a message?
13:59I said, what's your favourite capital city?
14:03Perfect.
14:04Power parents.
14:05Someone behind me.
14:06I'm going to put...
14:07I'm going to wear it in a papoose.
14:08Is that good?
14:09Whoa!
14:10Ari, what happened?
14:11What did I do?
14:12Guys, what the hell did I do wrong?
14:13I think that's going to settle though.
14:14It's going to be absolutely delicious.
14:15Oh my God.
14:16You guys, I've never seen anything like this.
14:17I'll tell you what's in here, the big broccolini.
14:18You guys, I've never seen anything like this.
14:19I've never seen anything like this.
14:20I've never seen anything like this.
14:21You guys, I don't know what's in here.
14:22I don't know what I've done.
14:27What's in here?
14:28It's got pizza does.
14:31That's a really generous thing to say.
14:32I've never seen a pizza do this.
14:34You guys, I've never seen anything like this.
14:35I'll tell you what's anchored it.
14:36That bit of broccolini.
14:37You guys, I don't know what I've done.
14:39I don't know what I've done.
14:43That's a really generous thing to say.
14:44I've never seen a pizza do this.
14:46It looks like it's from...
14:49Mars Attacks.
14:51Don't...
14:53It's like a jacket potato.
14:55Wow.
14:56That's stunning, Johnny.
14:58Congratulations.
14:59Oh, I can smell the garlic.
15:00Oh wow, I forgot garlic.
15:04Yeah!
15:12Look at the cheese.
15:13It's spilling out the sides.
15:14Yeah, it is.
15:15Oh my gosh.
15:16That's magnificent, Johnny.
15:17Mine is a full ass.
15:19How are you guys feeling?
15:20It's like...
15:21Ashamed.
15:23I think it's like a Picasso.
15:24It's sort of absurdist.
15:25It's great.
15:26It's so nice.
15:28How do you feel about yours, Johnny?
15:29Proud as hell.
15:30Shameless.
15:31It's perfect.
15:32I didn't mean that.
15:33Mine is beautiful and I'm very proud of it as well.
15:36Mommy's very proud.
15:37You did your best.
15:38If you were a food dish, what would you be?
15:40And can you answer for each other?
15:42I think you'd be like a whipped terrine.
15:44Why'd you call me?
15:46Because it's like light and delicious.
15:49I know what you are.
15:50Spotted dick.
15:51What?
15:52Is that a fish?
15:53No, it's a pudding, isn't it?
15:54What is happening?
15:55That's a British thing, isn't it?
15:56I don't know what that is.
15:57You'll have to show me.
15:58I'll show you.
15:59If you were a dish, you would be this beautiful little potato fluffy thing and it's like this
16:08little cute cloud.
16:09Oh, nice.
16:10And it's beautiful and it's full of light and airy.
16:13That's what you would be.
16:14I think they'd go quite well together.
16:15Yeah.
16:16I reckon I'm probably bubble and squeak.
16:21Is that another British thing?
16:22Yeah.
16:23Bubble and squeak is like yesterday's leftovers was thrown into it.
16:27I think I'd be strawberry.
16:32Thank you for making the best dough.
16:34Ever.
16:35Because I think this is really what's...
16:36I can't wait to do this.
16:37It really is.
16:38You can't wait to what?
16:39Go on.
16:40I'm going to make a bunch of slices because this looks beautiful.
16:46If only we had lots of people here to feed.
16:49Yeah, who will we share it with?
16:51Does anyone want to try mine?
16:53Cheers.
16:54Cheers.
16:55Mmm.
17:03A lot of dough.
17:04A lot of dough.
17:05How's your...
17:06I'll tell you what, the Marmite and the cheese is the winner.
17:10That's really nice.
17:13Weirdly, that's way more flavors than Marmite.
17:15How is that possible?
17:16This has been really calming and lovely.
17:18I don't know if anything's usable, but we had a blast.
17:22Wicked for good.
17:23I'm going to see Wicked.
17:26Wicked for good.
17:27Check it out.
17:28I'm going to see Wicked.
17:29Please.
17:31Please, God.
17:32We're so sorry.
17:37I got used to it.
17:39I got used to it.
17:41I got used to it.
17:43I got used to it.
17:44There is a squeeze in the bubble.
17:50I have loved it.
17:55What are you going to make?
17:57We need to celebrate.
18:00Here we go.
18:01What?
18:02$33 for your initial meal ready?
18:03Sir.
18:04What?
18:05You can doth your dish.
18:06It's quite funny.
