As a city teeming with students, not surprisingly, Athens is well known for its New York-style pizzas. Why? When you've been in the gym, on the football field or skipped lunch because you were cramming for an exam, you want a pizza that's big enough to satisfy. A New York-style pizza delivers not only on size, but can be convenient when it comes to eating on the move. Order a slice and you can double it up and munch away while heading to wherever you're going next. Eating it folded like that saves getting splodges of sauce dripping down your chin and onto your shirt too. Another bonus with a New York-style pizza is the thin dough used to make it is less stodgy than that used in other pizzas. That slender, crispy-edged base isn't going to sit in your stomach like a ton of bricks or make you drowsy once you've eaten your fill.
