Tribal People Try New York Style Pizza
About this video
Pizza in front of villagers from rural Punjab, Pakistan — that's the whole Tribal People Try recipe, and it keeps working because nothing is scripted.
What is pizza?
Pizza is a flat bread from Naples topped with tomato and cheese and baked very hot. The delivery-chain version — Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's — is thicker, cheesier and heavier on toppings than the Italian original.
What to watch for
Hot stretched cheese is the moment. Most first-timers pull at it, ask what it is, and then decide within a bite whether they like the chew. The tomato base reads as sweet to a Punjabi palate, and a plain margherita can seem underseasoned.
The comparison they always make
Bread topped with something is old news here — roti with achar, naan with keema — so the base makes sense; it is the cheese that has no village equivalent. Chicken tikka pizza tends to win because it tastes like something they already cook.
