Nick DiGiovanni is one of YouTube most popular chefs, and Nicole Russell is a home-cook extraordinaire. But can Nick and Nicole survive a shift working at America's craziest slice shop? On this episode of Pizza Wars: Quest for the Perfect Slice, Tony Boloney's Mike Hauke will put Nick and Nicole through two challenges. First, a 90-second sprint to bake a plain cheese pizza. Then, a real-life rush order consisting of two of Tony Boloney's most outrageous creations. Can Nick and Nicole handle the heat? 

Lucali is one of the most celebrated pizzerias in the world. The restaurant's owner, Mark Iacono, has become a larger-than-life figure in the New York pizza scene—and a mentor to Pizza Wars host Nicole Russell. In this rare, intimate interview filmed in Lucali's backyard, Iacono tells Nicole and Scott Wiener how he took inspiration from legendary Brooklyn pizza-maker Domenico De Marco of DiFara, and ultimately created one of the most sought after pies on the planet. And later, Iacono teaches Nicole and comedian Chris Distefano how to make Lucali's legendary pizza during a special, hands-on cooking tutorial.
