Krispy Pizza makes the case for a darker, crunchier slice
A father-son exchange over whether the crust looks burnt has viewers discussing exactly how far a New York pie should go.
Why this story? The video is running at 1,167,125 views a day, 5.7 times its usual pace (206,510).
What makes a perfect New York pizza? 🍕💯
Krispy Pizza's owner lifts a cheese pie from the brick oven, and his son Joe raises the obvious question: might people think it's a little burnt?
His father answers by showing the browned underside. Then comes the evidence you can hear: the rolling cutter crunching through the crust. When he folds a slice, it cracks down the middle rather than sagging. For him, that's the point, not a mistake.
The clip, titled "What makes a perfect New York pizza? 🍕💯", has added about 1.2 million views in a day, almost six times its usual daily pace. Posted five days ago, it is getting considerably more attention now than on its first day.
The comments have become a discussion of where well-cooked ends and burnt begins. Viewers describe their preference for a dark, crisp base; one compares the slight bitterness of browned dough against sauce and cheese to dark chocolate paired with strawberries. Others remember the plain cheese slices they grew up eating in New York.
The owner has little patience for a chewy, doughy slice. But his demonstration ends less with an argument than with a bite: cheese stretches as he pulls away, and he tells his son, "Never gets old, Joe. Never gets old."

@AK.kje11See it on YouTubeThat char on the bottom is literally flawless
edit: I have never had the replies on my comment be more divided 😂@ARP11944See it on YouTubeThis is the pizza I grew up on. The perfect slice. Plain cheese pie. Every ingredient is perfect. The sauce. The cheese. The crust. If you need a topping, just some pepperoni or sausage. Simple & delish
