I love NY style pizza! I've worked at 2 different NY pizza places and got to eat a ton of it for free.
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
considered a classic by the slice pizza and a favorite among tourists. The restaurant briefly closed in 2005, but has since reopened.
Trivia.
This Joe's Pizza shares no relation with the pizzeria of the same name that is located in Whitesboro, NY. The Whitesboro Joe's had been in business for over a decade when the Manhattan Joe's opened.
In popular culture.
In the 2004 film, "Spider-Man 2", Peter Parker once worked at Joe's Pizza as a delivery boy
