New York pizza

Wide, floppy triangles

New York pizza is a style of pizza characterized by large, thin, foldable slices with a crispy yet pliable crust, typically sold by the slice from street-corner pizzerias.

The style developed among Italian immigrants in early twentieth-century New York City and remains iconic to the region: Let's grab a slice of New York pizza.

Locals fold the slice lengthwise to eat it while walking.
