New York-style pizza is built for the grab-and-fold. Large, thin, triangular slices with a crisp bottom, chewy interior, and a raised cornicione that acts as a handle. The dough uses high-gluten bread flour (14%+ protein), olive oil, and a touch of sugar — ingredients that would disqualify it in Naples but produce the structural integrity needed for a foldable 18-inch pie.
The sauce is seasoned and cooked (unlike Neapolitan's raw crush), and the cheese is always low-moisture mozzarella, shredded and applied edge-to-edge for full coverage. This style handles a moderate topping load well, making it the natural home for pepperoni, sausage, and the full range of classic American pizza toppings.
