2. Totonno's
1524 Neptune Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11224, USA
Phil heads to Coney Island to a New York classic pizza spot. The founder's grandfather had worked with Lombardi - who opened up what is regarded as the 1st pizzeria in America - and this pizza spot has stayed with the family for almost 100 years. Phil pops a bottle of prosecco to celebrate.
Tasted:
Sausage and Mushroom pie
White pie
3. Di Fara's
1424 Avenue J, Brooklyn, NY 11230, USA
The next stop on the pizza tour is perhaps the most famous of them all. Di Fara's was founded by Dimarco and Farina and is regarded as one of the best pizza spots in all of the U.S. Dimarco is still working there and pulls the pizza out of oven with his bare bands. He's been doing it for more than 50 years, and the quality of the pizza is worth the 1 to 1.5 hour wait.
Tasted:
Basic pie with fresh cut basil
