- Whoa.

- Whoa.

(burps)

- Oh, I can't stop burping.

(upbeat music)

- Hi, we're the Try Guys.

- I'm Ned.

- And Eugene.

- We're in New York City.

- And I'm Keith.

- And I'm Zach.

- And we're here in sunny Los Angeles.

- New York is know for having the best pizza in the world.

- And we're going to try and find

the best slice in the city.

- And L.A. is known for having the worst

New York style pizza.

- So we're going to try and find the very worst.

- In

- It's the Try Guys coast to coast pizza party challenge.

- Part one of one.

- Whoo!

- High five.

(video game music)

- Let's go.

- Well, my family's New York Italian and my grandfather

would always take me to pizza places.

- These are the factors we're going

to be judging the pizza on.

- Cheese.

- Cheese that doesn't stretch.

- Something that can withstand a hit.

- Crust.

- Crust.

- Crust that is just like chewy but you don't wanna chew it.

- Sauce.

- Terrible sauce.

- Just like right out of the jar.

Just garbage.

- And New York factor.

- What's the New York factor?

- The wow factor, what's especially bad.

- It's the forget about it.

- So is it good if I forget about it?

- So, zero forget about its, is good.

- Will you remember forever and tell your friends?

- [Voiceover] We asked the New York office,

where can you find the best slice of pizza

and got over 100 responses.

But some top picks emerged.

- We are at our first stop.

- Lombardi's, widely considered, the original

New York pizzeria.

- And we have a special guest joining us.

- Who is it?

(screams)

It's my wife!

- Third wheel, yay!

I'm a third wheel.

Alright, let's go inside.

Whoa!

Look how thin the crust is.

- This cheese, plus one for stringyness.

- That sauce is delicious.

- It's like tangy.

- The crust has a really good, like--

- Woody crunch.

- It has a woody crunch to it.

Forget about factor zero.

- I'mma remember bout this.

- I wonder what Keith and Zack are doing right now.

(dreamy harp)

- Wow, boys that looks delish.

- Mmm

- We're outside of Greco's.

- Two and a half stars out of 129 reviews, damn.

- Stale and distasteful.

That's like attitude, not even flavor.

- Hollywood pizza, let's do this.

This is where the magic happens.

♫ This looks bad ♫

Well, this crust is hard.

- Hard.

- I feel like I'm eating raw dough.

- I don't taste any cheese or sauce.

- It's almost just a whisper of sauce.

- Does it taste like anything?

- It tastes like a mistake.

- It's amazing how little favor a food could have.

That's the wow for me.

- Time to check back with Eugene and Ned in New York

but first a quick

- Fried chicken break.

(hip hop music)

- Back to you in New York, Ned and Eugene.

- I don't get any service in the subway, what's with that?

- Cause we're underground.

Right now, we're at John's on Bleecker Street.

- It's got graffiti all on the walls.

It's a sit-down place that's a little more casual.

- Yeah, kinda like a pizza diner.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- So let's check it out.

- Pizza diner, oh, I thought you were going back.

- Yeah, cause my hair is melting because the humidity here

is so high.

- Oh, it's so hot.

- Alright, let's go inside and get some pizza.

- Cheers.

- Oh, that's hot.

- They get a bonus plus one for grease.

Cheese, super pulley.

Puddle of cheese.

- Sauce, a really strong tomato flavor on the sauce.

- Yeah.

- This crust is delicious though.

It's got a nice crisp.

Wanna hear that crisp?

- Zero forget about its, I would remember it.

- 20 million remember bouts its.

(laughs)

- This a confusing rule.

Can you do your best New York accent?

- Forget about it!

- Wow, what a time you seem to be having.

- Well, we walked down the street

to another pizza place, Combo's.

- Worst pizza ever!

- Horrific pizza.

- We can't do this alone.

- So we brought our friend, Chris.

- Yay, he knows mediocre food best.

Chris, what do you know abut Combo's pizza?

- Absolutely, nothing.

- Great, let's do this!

- It's actually nicer than the last place.

- Yeah, it's pretty.

- Thank you so much.

- Have a nice day.

- Take care.

- Ah, oh!

- It's looks greasy.

- Alright, what'd you call this, Chris?

- A grease pool.

- Gnarly grease pool.

- This makes me feel bad.

Tastes like school pizza.

- This is as doughy if not doughier than the first one.

- This is dough city.

- Let's take a bite of the crust.

- It's just burnt bread.

- The wow of this is that it gets worse as it goes.

- This is more memorably awful than the first one.

I'm feeling queasy now.

- You guys check in Eugene and Ned

who are having a way better time than us.

- I bet they're doing something crazy.

- You guys, I just got sick.

(bluesy music)

- Our next stop, we're outside of Joe's pizza.

This place was opened in 1975 and Joe, apparently,

still works and runs this place and there's one location.

- New York really has a good hold

on family and tradition, huh?

- Huh?

- Forget about it.

- No, remember bout it.

- Two pizzas and some chicken in, and I'm feeling gross.

- I feel really quite like garbage.

- Everything looks so good, everything's like really greasy.

- Like what imagine in my head New York pizza to look like.

- Cheers.

- New York.

- I feel like I might already need to poop from that pizza.

- Cheese, exceptionally stringy.

- Real strong pull factor.

- Sauce actually, not quite there.

- You guys look like you're having a great time.

- So much fun.

- Ow.

- What about that crust?

- Like, a little bit burnt but not too burnt.

Lightly burnt toast.

- How many forget about its do we give it?

Zero forget about its.

- I tried to poop but I couldn't but I feel like I have to.

- If you looked up pizza in the dictionary.

This would be a photo of it.

I'll remember this forever.

- Imagine what a $2.50 in L.A. would taste like.

(burps)

- Oh, I can't stop burping.

- Stop burping.

- We're going through The Grove to the Farmer's Market

at The Grove.

That's where we were told the (bleep) pizza is.

- Ok, here we are.

- Aw, this doesn't look terrible.

The crust looks pretty good.

- Yeah, and there's like a nice distribution of pepps.

- The cheese becomes liquid immediately,

but the flavor isn't bad.

- I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty disappointed.

This is pretty good.

- The cheese was stretchy.

The sauce was tasty.

The crust was good.

The wow factor is, it's not bad.

- Yeah.

- It's supposed to be bad.

- The wow is wow, I could eat this.

- Back to you in New York.

- It's time to Facetime Zach and Keith.

- Ok, I don't have service.

- Zach and Keith.

- Hi.

- So, what's the moral of the story?

- Do you guys think you find a more worse place,

than we found the best place.

- I don't know, did we?

- Well, I'd say the second place was easily the worst

pizza I've had in my life.

It was really abysmal.

- All the pizzas we had were excellent.

Including this Two Brothers.

It's just two dollars.

- Ned, I know, I'm from New York.

Find a truly atrocious and horrible slice of pizza

inner Los Angeles, harder than we thought it was gonna be.

- But still, we tried and we're the Try Guys so,

- What will we try next?

- I miss our friends, I hope they come back soon.

- I'm gonna jump into L.A.

(hip hop music)

- Pizza (chanting)

- Pie!
