Chris Evans & Dakota Johnson Try to Nail the “Perfect” Pizza

When you throw Chris Evans and Dakota Johnson into a kitchen, give them dough, toppings and cameras, you just know chaos and charm are guaranteed. In “Chris Evans and Dakota Johnson: The Pizza Interview”, the two stars of the upcoming film “Materialists” step into the New York Times Cooking studio to make their ideal pizzas while answering questions about food, filming and life on set.

The twist? This isn’t just a normal celebrity chat. It’s the debut of “The Pizza Interview,” a new series where notable guests have to make pizza while they talk. No prepared doughs from craft services, no off-screen chef saving the day. Just flour, sauce, toppings and vibes.

When Celebrities Realize Pizza Isn’t “That Easy”

Pizza is one of those dishes everyone thinks they know how to make—until you actually have to stretch the dough on camera. Watching Evans and Johnson navigate:

• Shaping and stretching the dough without tearing it

• Choosing their go-to sauces, cheeses and toppings

• Trying to look cool while covered in flour

is half the fun. Their reactions, jokes and mini freak-outs are super relatable to anyone who’s ever tried to go from frozen pizza to “I make mine from scratch now.”

Along the way, they chat about:

• Their personal comfort foods and guilty-pleasure cravings

• How food fits into their lives while filming

• The chemistry of cooking together vs. acting together

• The stories behind what they consider a “perfect” pizza

Why This Pizza Interview Works So Well

For food lovers, this video hits a sweet spot: it’s part celebrity interview, part cooking chaos, and part pizza masterclass for beginners. Seeing big stars fumble with dough, debate toppings and react to the final results makes pizza feel fun, accessible and deeply human again.

And for anyone curious about “Materialists”, the banter between Chris and Dakota gives a taste of their on-screen dynamic—playful, sharp and full of chemistry.

If you’re a pizza obsessive, a celebrity culture fan, or just someone who loves watching people cook under gentle pressure, this Pizza Interview belongs on your watchlist. It’ll probably make you want to:

1. Order pizza immediately, or

2. Try making your own from scratch this weekend.

Either way, Evans and Johnson prove one thing: even Hollywood stars have to respect the dough.
