Description:

New York-style pizza is a style of pizza which originated in New York City in the early 1900s, and may be the American style pizza which most closely resembles that of Naples, Italy. New York style pizza is characterized by its wide, thin, and foldable slices. The traditional toppings were limited to tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, with any additional toppings placed with the cheese. It is traditionally hand-tossed and light on sauce. The slices are often eaten as a 'street snack' while folded in half, as its size and flexibility sometimes makes it unwieldy to eat flat.

The most notable difference between New York style and other American pizzas is its thin hand-tossed crust, made from a high-gluten bread flour. The flavor of the crust has sometimes been attributed to the minerals present in the New York City tap water used to make the dough.[1] Some out-of-state pizza makers even transport the water cross-country for the sake of authenticity. New York-style pizza is usually sold both by the slice and as whole pies. Slices are taken from a large pie typically around 18 inches in diameter and most commonly cut into 8 slices, but other variations do exist. Pizzas to be sold by the slice can be either "plain" (sometimes "regular" cheese and sauce) or with toppings. While many New York pizzerias also have slices with various toppings ready to serve, they invariably have plain slices ready to go, and can provide slices with toppings by adding them on prior to re-heating.

Pizzas are typically served with condiments such as dried red chili pepper, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan cheese, available for the customer to place on the pizza once served. Oregano is also sometimes available.

Also served in the New York area, square-shaped slices with much thicker dough are called Sicilian slices, though they often differ considerably from the true pizza of Sicily.
