Hawaiian Pizza: Is It Pizza If There’s Fruit on It? || Really Dough?

Utterly amused that Scott tried to abandon him in the parking lot, Mark can now admit that this road trip has been fun in spite of Scott’s shenanigans. The two decide that the best way to go out with a bang is by letting Mark drive and to try a slice of one of the most polarizing pies in the country: Hawaiian pizza. They head to Fire Engine Pizza in Bridgeport, Connecticut, to try Chef Marty’s rendition of the notorious pizza. Scott can barely wait to hear Mark’s verdict; will the toppings make or break this pizza? Are Mark and Scott finally ready to eat something other than pizza? And maybe, just maybe, were the real pizzas the friends they made along the way?

What makes a pizza, a pizza? Lucali owner and old-school Brooklyn pizzaiolo Mark Iacono has a strict pizza formula: sauce, cheese, and dough. That’s it. But renowned pizza enthusiast Scott Wiener believes that the beauty of the slice comes from its creative customizability; even if it’s topped with cheeseburgers or constructed with paella. Scott travels all over America to spotlight the country’s most unique pies and make a case for whether these new customizations can, in fact, still be considered a pizza. This time, he’s taking Mark along for the ride on an East Coast road trip to try the craziest concoctions claiming to be pizza... but are they really dough?
