- Good?

(mischievous music)

Hi, my name is Joe and today

we are making pizza blindfolded.

Jasmine is my coach and my eyes for today.

And the only rule is if I touch it I must use it.

- I've made pizza once, Joe.

- You've made pizza once,

but you know what goes on pizza.

- Oh definitely, pineapple.

- Oh, we're in trouble.

- Well, unfortunately there's no pineapple

on the table so--

- All right, we're safe then. - Today's your day.

- All right, we're good and everything else

probably belongs on a pizza, I imagine.

- Yes. - For the most part?

- Definitely. - Depending on what part

of the world you're in.

- You're right. - That's one way

to look at it, you've eaten plenty of pizza though.

- Yes.

- I've made plenty of pizza.

I feel like I can sense the pizza.

Are we ready?

- Ready.

(mischievous music)

- Shhh.

- All right, you ready to do this?

- Almost, almost.

- Almost.

(mischievous music)

- Okay I'm ready now.

You ready? - I'm ready.

- Okay, so the dough is right in front of you,

knead it.(laughing)

- Knead it.

- Is that a thing, that's a thing, right?

- We'll stretch it, - in the center

- Stretch it, is the word - Yes

we're looking for.

- [Jasmine] Stretch the dough.

- [Joe] Oh it's like a nice cold ball.

Do I flour or no?

- Go up forward a little bit.

On to your left, a little bit.

No, too much.

Yeah perfect, now go back towards your body,

just a little bit, a little bit less.

Yeah, go down.

Down, down, down, down, oh.

Okay now, towards your body a little bit.

Yeah that's it.

- Found it, okay.

Flour.

(laughing)

All right, let's see if I can do this without seeing it.

- Yes.

- How am I on size?

- It's pretty big and you're close

to splitting it in the middle.

- We don't wanna do that.

Here's my plate.

Put it there.

- You got a bit of a fat chunk hanging towards you, yeah.

- [Joe] Feel like I'm folded over a little bit here too.

- Just a little bit, but it looks fine.

- All right, we got a crust.

We are the size of the plate.

- That looks pretty darn good.

- [Joe] All right I feel pretty good about this.

Do you feel pretty good about this?

- I feel great about this.

Okay let's, raise your left hand.

And then go forward about five, six inches.

A little more. - I don't know how far that is

- Double that. (laughs)

Okay now go left,

more and then now stick your index finger downwards

so we avoid things.

Okay a little more to your left,

split the difference.

Now go straight down.

Yeah, all the way down.

Yeah perfect!

Pick up that bowl.

- [Joe] Am I in a bowl?

- You are in a bowl

but you can stop fingering that

- I can't, I don't know. (laughing)

- Like - I feel like if I move,

I'm going to touch everything around it.

- I'm pretty sure this is pizza sauce,

lets hope that isn't sosa.

You want to smell it?

- Pizza sauce - Oh yes!

Okay, I'm so sorry about your finger.

- It's all good, it's part of cooking. (laughs)

That's my best tool right there.

- Yeah - All right,

so this is gonna go on.

Is there a spoon?

- Perfect, that was the center.

Feel free to go a little more right.

You are now off the left crust.

Left side of the crust.

Maybe one more dollop, on the right side.

Yeah, that's perfect!

You're killing it, Joe!

I was like something's missing. (both laugh)

- I almost forgot.

A little help.

All right, and we're back.

- Okay, I think that's enough sauce.

Let's put the sauce down, maybe to your right.

- [Producer] Don't touch anything, okay?

- Is this the flour? - Put the bowl down.

Put the bowl down, and then push it.

Yeah nice, nice.

Okay less less, okay.

Woooooh.

- I need to do something about this. (both laugh)

- Lick it.

- [Producer] See if you can catch.

- Wow! (clapping)

You're so athletic!

- Yeah, the first time anyone's ever said that to me.

Next topping please.

- Alright, raise your right hand,

and, yes wonderful.

Forward, a lot,

a little less, and then go right.

Forward,

down and that's the cheese.

That's a lot, yeah.

Good good good. - I like a cheesy pizza

- [Jasmine] Yay.

- Am I over the center, here?

- Your are left of the center, just slightly.

That's a little, oh that's perfect, that's wonderful.

- I'm just going to go circular motions here.

- [Jasmine] Yeah, oh you dropped, all of it. (laughs)

- That's all right. - But you'll be able

to find it.

- [Joe] (laughs)It's not gone?

It's not gone forever? - It's just there.

And then go downwards a little bit.

A little less down.

Yeah, go left a little bit.

Oh okay, let's just fling it everywhere.

- [Joe] Each pizza is its own snowflake,

its own unique snowflake.

Alright next?

- Raise your hand,

your right hand above the pizza.

Uh huh, now go forward a little bit.

Oh nooooo, noooo!

- That was a little bit! - Nooo!

Dang it, I can't see height on this stupid monitor!

Okay what, damn it!

What is that? - What is this?

- Can you squeeze it into your face, and smell it a little.

- It's sweet

- Ho!

- Strawberry syrup?

- Oh my god,

this just took a turn. - Nice.

- Okay, just a little bit.

Sweet and savory is good.

Ah perfect, stop!

Oh my God! (laughs)

- Perfect a bon appetit.

- Beautiful!

It's actually very nice on camera, I will say.

Okay, let's raise your right hand again.

- Try that,

I'm going to go for it - A little higher,

and then to your right.

Slightly to you left, just a little bit.

Uh huh and then stick your middle,

your index finger - Not my middle finger

- Okay now point it downwards,

bring your finger towards your body.

A little bit to your right.

A little more.

A little less

- This is like a crane game

- Forward,

less,

down.

Towards your body a little bit!

Down down, all the way down.

Yeah perfect, maybe use the spoon.

- I don't know where the spoon is.

- Do you have any hangnails?

- No, we're good. - Okay cool.

- I'll wash my hands, what is this?

- Jalapenos, I don't want you

to burn your fingers. - Oh okay.

I like jalapenos, we're fine.

- [Jasmine] And then to your right, a little bit.

Uh huh. - Done?

- Yes, let's go for the pepperoni.

- Ooh, I like pepperoni

- Raise your right hand.

And then, flat over the table.

A little higher, towards the right.

No less, to the left again yeah and then forward.

A little less.

Split the difference.

Uh huh, to your right just a little bit,

yeah, and then now point your finger down,

and a little forward, yeah straight down.

Oh la, forward a little bit

(bleep) spoons, okay yeah down.

Yeah awesome, careful of that bottle over there.

Does that count, that better not count.

- I didn't touch anything,

I didn't touch anything!

- Good, oh my god I'm sweating!

Joe, you're doing great!

- It's very stressful.

This is the most stressful pizza I've ever made.

Just going off of instinct

on where this pepperoni should land.

- Yeah go right a little more when you go back

in the other, yes way right.

A little more right.

Okay, less right. (laughs)

- Okay, that's good, right?

That's a good laugh?

I did good?

- Yes, that's wonderful - Nailed it!

- Okay, beautiful!

Do you like olives?

- I love olives.

- Okay, let's go for the olives.

Left hand, flat over the table,

back towards your body.

Uh huh, and then stick your index finger out

to your right, a little bit.

And

a little less.

And then stick it down.

Oh my god, this is so hard, its so small. (laughs)

Ugh okay, towards you just a tiny bit.

Oh god, there's a spoon!

Okay, ooh

to your right a little more

And then, can you raise your wrist just a little bit?

Oh that's beautiful, okay, towards you.

To your left,

now,

to your left a little more.

Yes, straight down.

And then watch your thumb, it'll touch a spoon.

Uh huh. - Straight still?

- Yeah, straight down. - Still?

- Yeah.

Did you get it?

Did you get it? - Is that an olive,

that's an olive. - Yay!

- Whoo, all right, its like defusing a bomb.

- [Jasmine] I know.

- [Joe] Where's the pizza, here still?

- Yes. - All right,

we're gonna minimal olives. (laughs)

I didn't grab a lot. - Yeah, I think looks good.

I think we're good with just one more ingredient.

- All right.

I trust you.

- It's probably the most important part of this pizza.

Okay, raise your right hand.

Flat over the table,

forward, a little more, and then to your left,

a little little bit more to your left.

Less, and then stick your index finger down.

Yeah, go straight down, that's it.

Hold the bowl and grab some.
