By Joseph Smith


A pizza style that is usually distinguished as a large pie being hand tossed and also, a pie that has a very thin crust. Usually, the pie is sliced in large pieces. And the usually, the crusts have its crispy edges but the part from its beneath are soft and pliable, making it more soft and foldable when eating. Many different variations are now made in different states and countries.

Most original pizzerias were using ovens made of coal bricks and pizzas were baked with cheese placed at the bottom a sauce at the top. A few years later New York pizza Waltham has been varied with hundreds and hundreds of cuisines together with some other dishes in many pizzerias. Traditionally, this type is hand tossed. The most basic form of this contains a very light layer of a tomato sauce, a mozzarella cheese, and some additional toppings placed on top of the cheese.

The typical size of the pie is around 18 inches or 45 centimeters in it diameter. And it is commonly sliced into 8 large pieces. It is usually distinguished from its crust which is made from a bread flour with high gluten. The minerals which can be found in the water of the city, Waltham, also makes the dough more flavored. Pizzerias in other states would even transport that water to their place in order to authenticate the taste.

There are three types of New York pizza. These are the smoky crisp neapolitan inspired from wood ovens, coal fire neapolitan style, and the chewy style from modern gas ovens. Most neapolitan styles are being made from ovens that are burning in hot woods. In just minutes, it can already produce pizza with softness and crispness. Along with the texture, it also has a smoky taste. This is also made thicker compared to any other styles but has a smaller size.

Coals may produce heat also just as a wood fire oven does. Most customers cannot be able to recognize the original style from the prevalent one. It do have similar features, but the only difference is their crust. Coal fire neapolitan styles are much more thinner and crusts often crack when it is folded. This is also made crispier than the smoky crisp.

A chewy style is baked from the gas ovens and are often derived from the styles of pizzas baked in coal fire. Large pizza franchises try on replicating this. Usually, the tip flops when folded because the core is chewy and the crust is crispy. Most people have said that they would prefer on not eating the crust.

A cooked roma tomato in cans is often used for the sauce. Additional tomatoes may also be added before cooking the sauce. Other toppings such as basil, red chili flakes, oregano, virgin olive oil, olive oil, and garlic may be added as well.

The toppings are rarely used and the one most popular topping is cheese. Other common toppings include sausages, pepperoni, and vegetables. Pineapples may be also used, but in most thin crusts, very light toppings are placed since it cannot hold such heavy weight.

The dough is made using white flour without any whole grain flour. The flour is mixed with salt, water, yeast, and sometimes added with oil and sugar. The yeast usually used is a fresh cake yeast.
