New York-Style Pizza: A Slice of the Big Apple at Brooklyn Pizza
New York-style pizza is a city staple, known for its thin, foldable crust and classic flavors. Originating in the early 1900s, it was introduced by Italian immigrants, with Lombardi’s in Manhattan being the first pizzeria in 1905. Over time, this style evolved, becoming the go-to slice for New Yorkers and pizza lovers worldwide.
What makes New York-style pizza unique? First, the crust—thin and crisp, yet flexible enough to fold. It’s topped with a simple, tangy tomato sauce and low-moisture mozzarella, creating the perfect balance of flavors. The pies are typically 18 to 24 inches in diameter, with large, wide slices that are best eaten on the go. Traditional toppings include pepperoni, mushrooms, and sausage, but the classic plain cheese slice remains the most iconic.
A key ingredient? Many believe New York City’s water gives the dough its signature texture, making it nearly impossible to replicate elsewhere. Baked at high temperatures, the crust develops a delicious charred, smoky flavor, adding to its appeal.
Despite evolving trends, New York-style pizza remains timeless. Whether from a legendary pizzeria or a neighborhood slice shop, the experience is the same—grab a hot slice, fold it, and enjoy. Nothing beats the simplicity and tradition of a true NYC slice.
Here at Brooklyn Pizza Co., we pride ourselves in creating an authentic New York Style pizza. Some of our most popular pizzas are the Italian, the “Meathead” with sausage, pepperoni, ground beef, and bacon. Our signature “Gringo” with white sauce, roasted garlic, mozzarella and ricotta cheese, finished with hard parmesan is a fan favorite.
We hope that you will come and visit us to decide for yourself that we are true to the New York tradition of great pizza.
