Aubrey Plaza and Margaret Qualley cook pizza together
On August 22, 2025, NYT Cooking released a 10-minute video showing Aubrey Plaza and Margaret Qualley cooking pizza together. The New York Times Cooking launched this new series with a twist: guests answer Q&A questions while making pizza.
Plaza and Qualley, the stars of the movie Honey Don’t!, visited The New York Times Cooking studio to make pizzas. Although the task may sound simple, the actresses faced some quirky challenges while working together in one kitchen, as neither had made a pizza before.
The video gained strong traction online. Inside the studio kitchen, Aubrey Plaza and Margaret Qualley attempted to toss the pizza dough professionally while chatting about their comfort meals, movie characters, and even cults.
Fans were especially amused when, at the end of the clip, Plaza licked her finger immediately after wiping sauce from Qualley’s chin. Once the segment wrapped, the two presented their best pizza slices for tasting and commentary. After both agreed on each other’s “exceptional culinary skills” and praised one another’s slices, Qualley accidentally dropped some pizza bits on her chin while eating.
She asked her co-star, “Do I got stuff on my chin?” Plaza responded, “Mm-hmm.” Qualley humorously remarked, “Cool, that’s where I wanted it.” Plaza then wiped her chin with her hand and licked her finger.
