Although Bangor and Manhattan are not sister cities, (or even cousin cities, at that,) they both still enjoy the cultural classic; New York City-style pizza. In Bangor, you can find plenty of pizzerias that have perfected the New York City pizza technique and added their unique twist.

New York City pizzas are fairly similar to the traditional Italian pizzas in Italy, but Americanized of course. In the United States, we love to slather on sauce and layer on cheese, which means that the thin crust of the New York City-style pizza has to be very strong so that it does not sag, get soggy, or get soft.

New York City-style pizzas are also layered with cheese that is melted to the perfect gooey-ness and golden brown color on the top. You can top a New York City pizza with almost anything you would like, but some favorites are pepperoni, sausage, peppers, and mushrooms.
