So crust style is the only thing that makes it different?
New York-style pizza
New York-style pizza is pizza made with a characteristically large hand-tossed thin crust, often sold in wide slices to go. The crust is thick and crisp only along its edge, yet soft, thin, and pliable enough beneath its toppings to be folded in half to eat. Traditional toppings are simply tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
This style evolved in the U.S. from the pizza that originated in New York City in the early 1900s, itself derived from the Neapolitan style
not explode. Usually, but not always, tomato sauce is ladled over the top crust before the pizza is baked.
Thin-crust pizza.
There is also a style of thin-crust pizza found in Chicago and throughout the rest of the Midwest. The crust is thin and firm enough to have a noticeable crunch, unlike a New York-style pizza. This pizza is cut into squares, also known as "tavern style" or "party cut", as opposed to being cut into wedges.
