What kind of pizza is New York-style?
When many people think of pizza styles, they think of the style of pizza served in New York. But what exactly is New York style pizza? New York style pizza is a large round pizza with a thin, crispy crust. It was created in New York City in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi and is based on the style of pizza traditionally found in Naples, Italy. This style of pizza is made using flour with a high gluten content, which gives the crust both a crispy and chewy texture. Unlike Neapolitan pizza, which is cooked in a coal oven, New York style pizza is often cooked in a gas oven. It is also larger and has more cheese than is typically found on Neapolitan pizza.
A traditional New York style pizza is served topped with just tomato sauce and mozzarella, with maybe an extra topping or two. Too many toppings can cause the crust to lose that crispiness it is best known for. Some popular toppings for this pizza include pepperoni, olives, onions, meatballs, and mushrooms. New York style pizza slices are usually folded when eaten, making this an excellent street snack. The slices are very large and are often sold by the slice in New York. New York style pizza calories depend on which toppings are included on the pizza.
What is the difference between New York-style pizza and Sicilian style pizza?
Another popular type of pizza that is found in New York is Sicilian pizza. Sicilian style pizza is a type of pizza that was created in Palermo, Italy and is known as Sfinciuni. Instead of being thin and round like a New York style pizza, it is a thick, square pizza. The crust is thicker than New York style pizza and the slices usually cannot be folded. Sicilian style pizza is often made in an aluminum baking sheet with high sides. Slices are cut into square or rectangular slices when served, and in New York are often sold by the slice. A traditional Sicilian style pizza is served with tomato sauce, pecorino cheese, onions, and anchovies. However, people can order it with a range of toppings, such as pepperoni or mushrooms. Sicilian style pizza is also popular in New York.
