thin-crust

New York style

Thin-crust describes pizza with a flat, crispy base rather than a thick, bready one.

The style emphasizes toppings over dough: I prefer thin-crust to deep-dish.

Thin-crust pizza is associated with New York and Italian traditions, in contrast to the thicker Chicago style.
