New York -style Pizza is sold in oversized, thin and flexible slices. The traditional toppings are Tomato Sauce and Mozzarella cheese. It is traditionally hand-tossed and light on sauce. The slices are sometimes eaten folded in half, as its size and flexibility may otherwise make it unwieldy to eat by hand. New York-style pizza is often sold by the slice, which is typically an 18" pizza cut into 8 slices. New York style pizza is often referred to as "pie" or "pizza pie." This style of pizza tends to dominate the Northeastern states, many shops advertising New York-style pizza. Sometimes also known as "Italian pizza" (as opposed to Greek Pizza ) since it reflects the variety of pizza made most commonly in Italian-American -owned pizza shops. New York-style pizza is often difficult to find outside of the Northeast, but major pizza chains such as Pizza Hut have at times capitalized on their versions of so-called New York pizza. The first pizzeria in the United States was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi , in New York's Little Italy . 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 . SEE ALSO |
