USP’s
What Makes NYC.PIE Real New York Pizza?
1.The Oven: we only use brick ovens – no conveyor belt ovens here.
2.The Dough: Our pizza dough is made fresh every single morning. (You are welcome to peep in at 11 am)
3.The Sauce: is proprietary and we make it fresh daily using imported Italian tomatoes.

In New York City, many people refer to pizzas as ‘pies', a phrase coined by old school pizza restaurateurs who migrated to America from various regions of Italy in the 1920’s. It is traditionally hand-tossed and light on sauce. The most notable difference between New York style and other American pizzas is its thin hand kneaded crust. The flavor of the crust has sometimes been attributed to the minerals present in the New York City water used to make the dough.

Outside of the Northeast, many pizzas are described as "New York style" - including some by major pizza chains. Authenticity is highly variable and often spurious; as the term is often misapplied to ‘generic American’ pizza - examples would be a crust that is too thick (or too cracker-like) or the use of mixed multi-cheese blends (especially containing cheddar.)
The first pizzeria in the United States was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi, at Lombardi's in Little Italy, Manhattan. Next time you are in the City, have a pizza here. You won’t regret it.

At NYC.PIE™ we have to offer some of the more popular classic New York pizzas and have created our own signature pizzas for the gourmand. We certainly hope you enjoy your pizza pies at NYC.PIE™. Thank you for your patronage and remember the genius in a pizza begins with the crust.

Bon Apetit
