The late arrival of pizzerias in Coral Springs - let's face it the city wasn't there before 1965 - means the pizza Coral Springs has become known for is New York-style. New York-style was the pie everyone wanted to eat back in the day and so was the first to appear on the menus of the city's pizzerias. New York-style is a pie that's been a steadfast favorite throughout the decades since it was first introduced, but trends are starting to change. The popularity of the oversized thin crust pizza is starting to wane and pizza chefs are once more beginning to honor their roots by baking more authentic pies. The traditional pizza now being baked in Coral Springs, that are being favored over New York-style, can only be described as amazing gourmet creations which will leave your mouth watering. If New York-style is going to keep its prime position as the US's number one pizza, and the one Coral Springs is known for, maybe it’s time it underwent a culinary makeover.
