New York-style pizza

Thin, wide, foldable

New York-style pizza is a large, thin-crust pizza characterized by wide, foldable slices and a crispy outer edge.

The slices are typically sold individually from pizzerias and eaten on the go, folded lengthwise: I grabbed a slice of New York pizza for lunch.

The style has become iconic of American pizza culture, distinguished from thicker Chicago deep-dish or Neapolitan varieties.
