Pro Chef Reacts.. 500 Year Old Pizza vs Today (Tasting History)
I didn’t expect pizza from 500 years ago to look anything like this.
In this video, I react to a historical recipe recreated by Max Miller from Tasting History and compare it to what we call pizza today. As a chef, it’s fascinating to see how ingredients, technique, and expectations have changed over time.
Let me know: would you eat it?

Can't believe this is how they used to pizza! What do you think about this? Would you try it and call it pizza?
I didn't make this, but I did make the even earlier one from Pompeii he made. It was pretty good.
About the tomato not being popular, another reason was because the rich would put lead into their plates and the tomato would leach that lead into the food. They thought it was tomato that was killing them. John actually has a video on the history of the tomato and how it became popular
Interesting recipe. Would you like some butter with your butter?
This is pizza in the same way that not collecting stamps is a hobby.
I absolutely love tasting history with Max Miller. Go easy on him he's just following the recipe❤❤❤
I remember this episode he absolutely does throw Chicago's Pizza under the bus 😅😅😅
Two of my favorites colliding what a wonderful Sunday❤❤
Love Max Miller! His channel is really great; just like yours Chef James! 😊
Yaay! Max! I think the reason there's Rose water is because during the renaissance italy was pulling a lot from the persian flavor pallette.
Love both your channels, so glad you finally decided to watch one of his videos! Been watching you both for a while now, yall should collab!
I hope this collab works out!
The Pizza the hut clip was from Spaceballs the Movie. A Mel Brooks spoof on Star Wars.
Ah yes, I love Max Miller and all his videos.
Max is the best!,and also, that was Pizza the Hutt, from Space Balls…
Always appreciate the pizza history to learn more about 😁
I usually troll people and say pizza and pasta was invented in china. But as the years go by it seems so much more true
You need to do a collab on some old rabbit and snail paella recipe.
👻
our grandmothers did this in an oven…some kind of "turta" we call it but without rosewater
I love chicago deep pizza too , but I live too close to Boston to advertise it!😂
"What is that?"
Pizza the Hut from Spaceballs.
This pizza does make a whole Quattro Formaggi pizza look healthier.
