Saratoga Springs is known for New York-style pizza. You'll find this extra large-sized pie on many of the pizzeria menus throughout the city and its suburbs. That said though, another type of pizza commonly offered by the Saratoga Springs pizzerias is Sicilian-style. Many of the Italians in Saratoga Springs are descendants of Italian migrants who relocated to North America from their native Sicily and so by baking Sicilian-style pizza they're honoring their roots. New York-style pizza is an unusual pie and a lot different from a traditional Italian pizza. With New York, it's the bigger the better and one mega-size slice of this pizza can quite often be the same size as a regular pizza. The dough base of a New York-style pizza is also a lot thinner and softer so can be folded easily making it perfect for grabbing and eating on the go.
